More than enough space and more than what it looks like on the listing. The house is stocked with tons of toys for kids and lots of outdoor water equipment too. We enjoyed our stay with four little ones and would recommend to others!

This was a lovely lake house. It seems like the house was set up wonderfully. Our family enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere.We loved that the host had truly thought of everything. All the essentials were there. There was an extra grill tank in case it was needed which is quite rare at any rental property.The early check in was truly appreciated.Check in and check out was easy.

This is a beautiful home, with a stunning lake view. The screened-in porch was our favorite place to hangout. Molly has thought of everything that you will need during your stay, for both children and adults. Her communication, hospitality, and attention to detail is excellent! Our family will definitely be returning.

Everything about our stay was great! The house was beautiful and had everything we could need. The lake was lovely and peaceful and we enjoyed paddling every day - very appreciative to have the use of the kayaks, canoes and SUPs. The location was great and made for a perfect summer vacation for our family. Would highly recommend! We loved it here

Perfect Lake Stay

This lake retreat is wonderful. Great location, well appointed and comfortable house, fun lake toys, nice outdoor space with fire pit, dock and gorgeous lake. Lake was not too busy and great for kayaking, swimming and SUP. Great touch was the s’mores fixings left by the host!

Great Lake spot!

The cleanest and most equipped rental we’ve ever stayed in! The indoor pictures don’t do it justice. The lake is beautiful and we loved the s’mores on the fire. If you don’t mind the stairs, this is perfect!

Relaxing Lake Stay

Waking to sounds of ducks and falling asleep to the loons "I'm over here" calls made for a fantastic, relaxing and super healthy visit to the Granite State. The nightly fire pit was a treat to indulge on all the smores you can make, and the personal dock with all the water toys (kayaks, canoe, SUPs) was the real deal closer for us and the property certainly came through with all of them - super fun.

We found the house to be exactly as described & pictured. We did need to reach out to the owners and the response time was great. My husband really enjoyed the fishing and I enjoyed the beautiful and relaxing back yard.
