Perfect Getaway

I cannot say enough good things about this experience! I brought my girlfriend here for her birthday and we had a blast. Not only were the cabins cozy and facing the water but they were clean and had a modern feel. The hosts have boats, kayaks, and paddleboards for guests to use and we had a blast. When we first got there they suggested a vegan restaurant in Concord after hearing my girlfriend was vegan and we ended up going there and it was fantastic! Kind people, great hosts, awesome getaway close to many beautiful walking trails!

The Barton/Gill Family Reunion

We had a fantastic time! 18 family members stayed in the "big old wonderful house" (and had room to turn around!) We canoed, kayaked, swam, grilled, ordered steamed lobsters locally, had smores by the camp fire, took naps on the swing, sat peacefully by the lake and vowed to return and do all it again! Family came from Florida, Ohio, South Carolina, Maine and New Hampshire for a reunion and the Cottages at Harvey Lake was the perfect setting. Thank You, our gracious hosts, Lee and Nancy. This is your warning...we're coming back!!

Weekend getaway with the dogs

We went to the lake for a long weekend, Friday to Monday with our two dogs. The cabin had everything we needed, we got a one bedroom cabin (pink), and the dogs seemed to feel right at home as well. Saturday was fun for the dogs, playing with the owner's boxer and going canoeing to the island. The place was booked out Saturday night and Sunday night, so the larger group took over the beach area with the children, but we still snuck in a quick swim for the dogs. The owners were great and quick to answer any questions. The kayaking was great, and it was easy to access the boats to use whenever we wanted. The price was very reasonable and it was just right for a weekend away, on the lake.

Best DEAL Out There

"This is our 3rd year renting at the Cottages at Harvey Lake. We have a fantastic time everytime, and it keeps on getting better.. The owners of the place will bend over backwards to ensue that you have a great time. We have stayed at the big house and the cottages. They all have a beautiful view of the lake. The fishing is fantastic. Our 10 year old caught 25 fish, and our neice caught the grandaddy of them all. It was huge. Great location, great fishing, quiet, and fantastic owners make this place the BEST DEAL OUT THERE!!! We will be there once again next year!!

About the host

Hosted by Nancy or Lee Carver

We purchased this property a about 14 years ago with the intent of using it as both a retreat for ourselves and something that we could share with others. We lived in Londonderry and both worked full-time jobs (Lee is a pharmacist, Nancy is recently retired from the Postal Service), We just moved to Northwood this year. We purchased the Moonlight Maple Farm next door and have had a great time turning it into our home. This lake property allows us a release from the day to day activities. Since moving in we feel that we have come home to our own getaway and look forward to our next boat ride, swim in the beach, or cookout. We've enjoyed many gathering with old friends and new and find Harvey Lake to be the best place anywhere to make our new memories!

Why they chose this property

We chose Harvey Lake because of it's central location to the Mountains, Lakes Region, Portsmouth and Concord. You can't find a nicer location if you want to take advantage of all that New Hampshire has to offer. Our home is located in the center of 'Antique Alley'. New Hampshire is rich with history, so having a chance to take a look at many of the items used at any of the 100+ shops is a lot of fun to us. Perhaps the most important reason we chose this property was the size of the lake. Harvey Lake is just 125 acres. This is large enough to use a powerboat, yet small enough to feel comfortable using a kayak or canoe. The larger lakes often have large amounts of boating traffic. In the years we've had the property, it's rare to see more than 3 boats on the lake at a time. It's absolutely fantastic!

What makes this property unique

Harvey Lake is located nearly center between the ocean (Portsmouth), the State Capital (Concord) and the largest lake in the state (Winnipesaukee). On the property you can have a campfire, go boating, fishing, swimming or just relaxing in the sun! Nearby you'll find great hiking and areas for the family picnic lunch. Later in the day, take a short trip to buy lobsters or visit many of the fine resteraunts.
