Our stay over Thanksgiving included family members from New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. The large fully stocked kitchen worked out very well for us.
The setting was beautiful and very peaceful. The loons were daily visitors and we loved watching the fog burn off each morning. Very relaxing.
This house sits on a beautiful lake with gorgeous views from the living room and upstairs. Even though it was raining all day Saturday of our weekend away, we enjoyed our stay and took advantage of the kitchen and comfy couch. It was great to bring our dog, too - he had a great time.
My friends and I went to this beautiful getaway for our friends wedding. It was a great location, easy to drive to, and so many amenities available for you. Our only complaint was that we felt the house could have used a cleaning and a change of sheets the day before to ensure its cleanliness. We had some sheets that appeared stained and dusty with, perhaps, pet dander. Additionally, thw floors were very dusty/dirty. Our socks were covered. Beautiful, welcoming, comfortable, but dusty.
The house is so comfortable and clean! Kitchen supplies have been updated since last year. It has everything you need to feel at home. One thing you can never control is the weather and we were not able to have too much outdoor time. We’re hoping for more sun next year!
We really enjoyed our stay. The location right on the lake was amazing. The host provided kayaks, floaties, and a paddleboard. The interior was pretty cozy. The view from the 1st floor was amazing.
We thoroughly enjoyed our Labor Day Weekend at this property. It had plenty of room for the five of us, was well appointed and the location on the pond was awesome! As someone who doesn't like heat & humidity, I was concerned with the lack of air conditioning. But, the combination of a breeze coming off the water and through the windows, along with the celling fans and cool nights made the house comfortable. We enjoyed using the kayaks and float tubes, as well fishing off of the dock. The fire pit made for enjoyable nights by the water. Heidi was a wonderful host and gave us good recommendations for birthday dinner reservations (Krista's in Cornish).
Beautiful spot!
My adult children and I all came to gather at this wonderful place for a 2nd time and we couldn’t be more pleased. We traveled from 5 different states and were able to enjoy the water, kayaks, paddle board, fires every night, visits with friends, time together and time for rest and reading. So good to meet you, Heidi. We appreciate all you do!
The location, neighborhood, and pond were beautiful. We enjoyed all of the water activities like fishing, paddleboarding, swimming, etc.and appreciated the rowboat. The house was not as clean as we would have liked. The amount of dust and cobwebs in most rooms was excessive. Not sure if it was an oversight by the cleaners but vacuuming corners, baseboards and curtains is greatly needed! The kitchen could use a little updating by providing a few more pots and pans that guests could use. The one and only large pot was so badly burnt, we couldn't use it. The food items in the cabinets expired years ago and probably should have been discarded some time ago. Overall, a comfortable stay and we did enjoy our time there.
This is a wonderful property. It’s accurately described in the listing and exceeded our expectations. Thank you!
My family lived in Shapleigh for some years. Since moving away, I return often to visit those who are still in the area. I've stayed at Granny Kent off and on since 1993. The pond has remained stable, clean, and family friendly. This particular property is ideally set on a small piece of sandy bottomed beach with a shallow entry point. The toys provided (boats, floats, etc.) were all usable and suited to several levels of expertise. The property owner was friendly and welcoming. There were several rainy days, but we had fun and would come back.
The property was amazing.... the house was a great size to accommodate our family ... views are incredible. The outside space iz where we spent a our time.. It did not disappoint, yard space to play, so many choices in boats and floats( we used them all). We also enjoyed fishing off the dock and from boats catching so many fish including 2.6 lb Bass! The hosts were very responsive as well. We've spent the past few years fostering with virtually no vacations.. this place was a perfect reprieve and gave us much needed fun and relaxation.
We had such a fabulous time at this rental. Highly suggest. Must come back some time. :)
Perfect getaway for the long weekend! The cottage met our expectations and had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. All the boats available were an added plus. Looking forward to our next visit
I rented the house with a group of moms for a weekend. The house was perfect. It was very clean and organized. It had everything we needed. The open kitchen/living room area gave us enough room to congregate inside. We didn’t even turn on the TV because we spent our days outside in the beautiful weather. The gas grill and fire pit were great. Heidi was very responsive with messages. We plan to rent it again next year. Thank you.
This was our third stay at this Granny Kent cottage. The house is warm and cozy with everything needed to be comfortable and entertained. We enjoyed kayaking, fishing and exploring in the pedal boat. A great place to stay!
Great property. The water is clean and access from shore is easy. Spent days floating, kayaking and paddleboarding around the lake. Spent early morning sipping coffee and sitting on dock watching sun come up. Loons seem to like that area in the morning. Spent evening sitting around fire pit near the water's edge. Cottage was well equipped. Beds were very comfortable. No complaints from anyone in group. Neighbors were very friendly. We would definitely consider renting this cottage again. Thanks Mills Family
We had so much fun! The fire pit was great and the neighbors were friendly. We paddled across the lake in the kayaks. and fished off the docks. The house was well stocked and very comfortable. I'd do it again in a second!
It was very quiet and relaxing at the house. There aren't a lot of boats on the pond and swimming was nice. It is remote and far from the bigger attractions and things to do. If you are looking for peace and quiet to unwind, this is the place for you.
How much fun was that month long stay at Granny Kent Cottage!!!!???? Our families and friends enjoyed every minute. Swimming kayaking paddle board peddle boat walking art projects grilling…was just grand. Comfortable beds, beautiful view, amazing water. We loved it. Wish we could return fir the whole summer. Thank you Heidi and Marc
