The property was really nice. We had a great time. The host answered all my questions quickly and even gave us an early check in and late check out. Everything you could ever need was provided including kitchen equipment, extra pillows and blankets, etc. Really just a great house and location.

Thank you Geoffrey, it makes me happy to see my guests very satisfied and comfortable 😊
Great rental, centrally located on the road circling the lake and within a short distance of New London. With great weather for November and the rental provided amenities, we were still able to take relaxing and reviving bike rides around the lake as well as a few canoe trips over to Blueberry island. Plentiful parking and spacious deck / living room / kitchen allowed for local family members to visit comfortably.
Clean, neat, organized with all the comforts of home including a fireplace w plenty of wood, TVs in every bedroom, bedding, cleaning supplies, and clear instructions / information. We all had a very enjoyable visit!
This home was a wonderful spot for our family. The house is well-appointed with everything you need for lake adventures including use of a canoe and kayaks. We spent a lot of time at the town beach which is close but needed to drive with the kids. The driveway is steep but the lot has some outdoor space for kids to play outside the home. It is also close enough to the downtown area with easy highway access.
Very cute, comfortable house. Great fireplace. Nice access to Pleasant Lake and easy to get to other scenic locations
Nice and clean and very nice decor.
The driveway is a bit steep but many houses around there are as well. Great house for skiing locations as well.
This was a great house situated near Pleasant Lake in New London, NH. The house was clean, comfortable, quiet and private, with a lovely deck. We enjoyed being there for 10 days, and only wished that it hadn't rained so much and that the access to the lake were a little closer and more accessible. We are active 60-somethings, but because of the wet weather, found the final steep descent to the lake a little slippery. We ended up using the canoe paddles as walking sticks to get down to the dock. It was also too challenging for us to get the canoe down to the water, but the very kind caretaker brought his son over and they put it in the water for us. Overall, we had a wonderful time, and would highly recommend this property!
This place nestled up in the woods was a perfect spot to get away from the woods. The deck is incredible and the fireplace is beautiful. My only issue was the hike to and from the dock. Between the steep driveway and steep path from the road to the dock my ankles were not happy with me. If you are in better shape I am sure it wouldn't be a problem. Overall loved this place it was the perfect getaway

Wonderful deck!
The deck was fabulous -- spacious and comfortable and a beautiful view. Both upstairs bedrooms were wonderful. The whole house was clean and had all the necessary amenities. The water access was a bit of a walk, but this was not our priority so that was fine. A very enjoyable stay!

Great cozy vacation home.
We rented this house so we could ski for four days at Mt Sunapee. Everything was exactly as described. The mud room on 1st floor excellent when arriving home with wet boots, ski equipment and snowy jackets- loads of room! Beautiful fireplace and comfy beds. Well equipped kitchen and comfortable leather couches in living room. We arrived during a big snow storm. Maribeth was on top of things making sure we knew where to park and that the driveway would be plowed after the snow storms. We were expecting another storm before we left and got in touch with her to see if we could stay, luckily no other visitors were due in and she gladly gave us the go ahead to stay and take our time so we could drive back to NJ safely.
I would recommend this home to all and I know we are coming back in spring or summer, beautiful porch overlooking the lake. Thank you again Maribeth for all your help during our stay.

Great winter location for skiing
The house was immaculate. Detailed notes were left about an upcoming snowstorm. Comfy beds. 2nd bedroom now has a double and twin bed, but as rooms are large was not cramped feeling.
Downstairs entrance gave lots of room for snow clothes and boots. Washer and dryer were useful!
Would recommend to other small families or 2 couples. Nothing was missing for a relaxing place to acres ski,
