Has everything you need - great location on the brook and super close to the beach, kayaks, fire pit and firewood, gas grill, lots of seating areas, nice AC. Just expect it to be a bit rustic and have a few rough edges but it's a great value and we had a wonderful week.

2nd time renting this place on Memorial Day weekend. Big family...6 lake houses owned or rented that weekend. Everything was as expected, but just wish check-in was earlier or flexible. Got to the lake early & hung around waiting for 4 pm even though no one was there.(2 out of 4 days rained, so it wasn't the best weekend at the lake.)

Perfect location! Super comfortable, firm beds. House was clean and easy instructions. Great open view of the stars at night, and the balmoral beach and amenities are great. Kids loved fishing off the dock and we enjoyed the large firepit and stargazing.

Wonderful Location - Great place to relax by the water

Great house - perfect location! We enjoyed being able to take a short walk to the beach - and morning coffee on the dock by the canal in the backyard. Watching the fish in the water and catching a few resident ducks with babies swim by. By mid afternoon the backyard is in the shade and we enjoyed a few drinks/dinner and music on the deck. Short walk to the Pickleball/tennis courts was great to get a few games in. We will be back next year!

We were a little confused with some of the check in instructions but the owner was very responsive once I could establish service on my phone. The place grew on both my husband and I. Loved the location near the beach and river in the back. Wish we had booked for longer.

Annual Memorial Day Family Reunion

This lovely lake house was right in the middle of our 5 other relatives' lake houses. We have been going to this lake community for many years & staying with relatives, but we wanted to rent our own place this time. The house was very clean & well-appointed, & we really enjoyed our stay there. The brook was directly outside in back! The weather was a bit cool, so we didnt kayak or go to the beautiful beach, but that made for more family time with our 30 relatives!

Paradise in Moultonborough

It’s no wonder that the house resides on Paradise Drive. An absolute slice of heaven. This was our second time staying here and we can’t wait to book again. You can’t beat the location when you are a short walk to the lively public beach while also sitting on a cool quiet tributary with a private dock. The home is clean and comfortable with multiple wall mounted AC units to escape the summer heat. Two bedrooms with plenty of space for air mattresses makes this place great for families or friends.

Really needs some tlc... broken blinds, plastic window sealer. Listen. It is a good location at a fair price that allows pets. We were in the area for a reunion and only slept at the home. The photos are a fair representation of what you are going to get.

Great location

Loved it! Had 8 the mattresses although we made work were not that comfortable . Pull out sofa for very big son. We had a lot of laughs about it! Loved the location. We had a jet boat. Made it very easy to navigate the river just as you said. Weather was not suppose to be good. I would of have it a 10 but Sunday it poured and packing up was a little wet! Hopefully will return !
