My large family stayed at the Manse while we attended a nearby wedding. The lake is awsome - very clear, clean water. We also enjoyed sitting on the porch and playing ping pong. It was a perfect place for our family gathering.

My family loved the place. So much fun! The space is great. There’s plenty of room for everyone. The entry to the water was a little treacherous, but we had a blast. The host indicated that they will be working on a safer entry to the water next year.

Our stay was everything we imagined - the property itself is right off the road, but feels secluded and has tons of green space to enjoy. The house is a HUGE gorgeous old, rustic home that truly felt like it has been loved and appreciated by generations. The house comes incredibly stocked with dishes, cookware, and even most cooking essentials. We had a group of 15 and felt like there were more than enough rooms, beds, and bathrooms for everyone to exist comfortably--but be warned the walls are thin! The lake is a 7-10 minute walk downhill through the woods and the lakefront access is basically only just the dock and a bench, but our group had a great time hanging on the dock or in the lake, especially when we took advantage of the kayak/pool noodles that are in the boat house! Our favorite part of the entire home was the wrap-around porch lined with rocking chairs and a big dining table. We spent 75% of our time on that porch enjoying coffee in the morning, board games in the afternoon, and group dinners from the grill at night. Thank you to Hannah & Leah for the wonderful stay!

Thanks for your review, Catherine! We are actually planning to expand the lakefront seating area with more stairs to the water and a large deck with chairs for seating. Hope to have you back again and that the wedding was wonderful. - Hannah & Leah

Family reunion.

We enjoyed a wonderful family gathering (10 adults and 8 children) at Monadnock Manse. Perfect place to relax and enjoy each others company. Room for 10 young children to run, play and everyone enjoyed swimming down at the lake. Definitely hope to make a return trip

A great place for a family gathering.

This was our third summer - once again we enjoyed ourselves- swimming, porch sitting, hiking, cooking, eating, biking, croquet on the lawn. We visited the yarn shop in Harrisville and went a second time to the Caterpillar Lab. All in all it’s a great place to be.

Famiky reunion

We always love visiting Silver Lake and The Manse is large enough to accommodate our group under one roof. The front porch is our favorite spot with a beautiful view of both the lake and the mountain. The kitchen is well equipped to feed large groups and plenty of space for dining inside and out. We’ve stayed here multiple times and have great memories!

Family getaway

We were looking for a place to decompress and this was it. Solitude, a cottage vibe and beauty abound here. The porch was the ideal hangout place for morning coffee, lunch after a dip and fishing at the lake (nothing like a NH lake-clear to the bottom) and cocktail hour. We would return in a heartbeat.
