Home was the perfect location to ski and ice fish and warm and wonderful to come back to after a day in the cold. We loved the fireplace, and the kitchen amenities were well stocked. House was clean and perfect for the 6 of us - including 2 children. Host was communicative and helpful upon arrival.
What a wonderful time we had staying here! The house was just as pictured and very clean! We visited the area for skiing at Gunstock and you honestly can’t get any closer to the mountain - it was perfect! Alex was so accommodating as a host and was responsive to all our needs! Will be back again in the future!

Thank you for staying with us, Jeremy! Come back again soon!
We absolutely loved our stay here. It was clean and quite cute. They had all of the basics that we needed for a night with kids and adults. The hosts were communicative and helpful. 5 stars all around!
Charming, clean and lovely place to stay. Owners were very easy to communicate with. Place was gorgeous. We had a great time. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it!!!
Was a wonderful short trip to Lake Winnipesaukee! I was able to show my daughter's all of the places I went over 30 years ago as a kid! The home was lovely.
What a great place for a few days of relaxation! So peaceful, very comfortable. The living room looked nice but honestly never used it or the TV. All waking hours at the house were spent on the deck, coffee in the morning and wine in the evening. Perfect! Plenty of things to do around the area.
The house was perfect for our little family! Very warm house, fireplace worked wonderful! Beds were comfy. Towels/linens were very soft. Home was clean and layout was perfect!

This was a really great find and a nice stay. We were 6 adults and and one dog but the house is set up nicely and we loved the fireplace and the fire pit. Kitchen had a lot of essentials and we had a great time.
The house and property were perfect for our family of 5 (+dog)! Exceptionally clean and we felt perfectly at home. Will recommend to family & friends in the future if they are in the area.
Loved this house, wish it was my own! Very clean, up to date, cozy, has everything you need for a stay. Location was very close to Gunstock Mountain. We enjoyed staying in at night with the fireplace on and watching a movie or reading. Would love to return in the summer.
Loved this house - clean, modern touches. Great for our family, to spend wonderful time together with our dog. Has everything you need. Great location! Will come back!
