    We used the property to shoot our television commercial for the NH Liquor and Wine Outlets and we couldn’t be happier with the cozy vibe we got from the place. What a beautiful property.

    Great location, clean and comfortable house, spacious, well designed, great lake (quiet and very beautiful).The host was very responsive and clearly takes very good care of the property. I would recommend this to anyone who seeks a quality home on an amazing lake surrounded by nature but also within short driving distance of farmers markets, hikes, other lakes, etc.

    This was our first family vacation which included my two grandsons 2 and 3 months. Beautiful lake, very quiet and peaceful. The house has everything you need to have fun . We used the kayaks, canoe and paddle boat. Made s’mores in the fire pit. Everyone was already talking about coming to the lake house again. All the amenities exceeded our expectations.

    We had a great time at this lake house. The home is cozy with all the space and amenities needed to relax, have fun, and not stress. Hermit Lake is gorgeous and relaxing. It was so easy to enjoy kayaks, the canoe, the pedal boat, and to fish! The hosts had minimal requests for the exit, and communication was as clean and simple as can be. Would absolutely return. If you want a taste of Lake Life, this one is a no-brainer. Highly recommend.
