Our stay was perfect! The house was exactly as described if not better. The kitchen was fully stocked with cooking pots, pans, dishes.... everything needed to cook and server a big family dinner. The beds and pillows were super comfy and the outdoor space was perfect lake living. We are already looking to book a stay next summer so we can enjoy some of the water activities.

This house was just wonderful; roomy, well stocked and immaculate, The location on the lake was perfect. Great views, so tranquil. We desperately needed to escape the unbearable heat in Texas. New Hampshire delivered, cool evenings and sunny days. It was a great way to refresh our bodies and minds. We’d love to come back.It you are thinking about renting you will have no regrets.

This property is absolutely gorgeous! Beautiful lake views, lovely upper and lower decks with plenty of comfortable outside seating. Private dock as well as kayaks & paddle board makes for tons of lake enjoyment! The inside is very spacious and clean with amazing lake views from comfortable living space. The well-stocked kitchen and plenty of linens for all was very much appreciated! We thoroughly enjoyed a relaxing time at this quiet gem on the lake.

Great place on the lake with everything you need. It was great to have firepit, kayaks and a dock with a great seating area.The kitchen was well stocked with spices and such. There is a washer and dryer which was convenient.The place has a lot of space for seating and hanging out which made it very comfortable. The tv is in the finished basement which was great because that meant the upstairs living room was for hanging and loving the views. The owners are very receptive !!

Flew in for our son’s college graduation in Manchester. It is a great house! Very clean and had everything you could possibly need. Very peaceful and relaxing, the boys used the kayaks and fished. The lake view is incredible. Would definitely stay here again, thank you for sharing your lovely home!

We had a lovely time at Half Moon lake. The house is spacious with lots of comfortable spaces to lounge and relax and drink in the unbelievable view. The photos don't do it justice, it is so tastefully decorated and put together. It is both beautiful and incredibly comfy. The kitchen might look simple at first glance but it is one of the most well stocked and functional kitchens I have ever experienced at a holiday rental. All around the property there are thoughtful touches to make the stay extra special. The lake access is amazing and the lake itself has warm clear water. Floating around if you are very still you can see the fish swimming below. We used the Kayaks provided and spent all week in and out of the water. Having a powerhouse grill made cooking meals easy and having a Hannaford close by for shopping was a real benefit. Sweet Caroline's coffee shop has incredible pastries and coffee and Jack's pizza was surprisingly excellent considering its location inside a gas station convenience store. The drive from the Boston area is so quick to be in such a peaceful and pretty area. I can't recommend this lake house enough. I hope we get to come back and stay!

Wonderful Lakeside Family Vacation

Wonderful house with everything to relax and enjoy a lakeside family vacation. Great layout for gathering together and relaxing separately with so many comfy seating areas. Especially loved sunset kayaking, fireside s’mores and the new lakeside deck.
