New England Lake Vacation Home

This four-season lakefront home is that perfect get-a-away. Large deck that overlooks the lake, hammock to relax in and big dock with fishing boat and canoe. Spring feed crystal clear water. Perfect for fishing (full of largemouth bass), swimming, canoeing, or just sit on the deck and enjoy the beautiful views. This lake has no public access - the only people on the lake own homes on the lake. New Hampshire famous Antique Ally is only 3 miles away. Hampton beach is just a short 20 min drive. Downtown Boston is a easy day trip (1.5 hour drive). Close to white mountain and minutes away from trout streams. Streaming TV, High-Speed WiFi, A/C, washer/dryer, wood burning stove, fire pit, stereo on the deck, blueberry, raspberry, and blackberry bushes. One bedroom with queen bed, one with two twins, pull out couch, basement has a twin and a futon. Nice level backyard to throw a football or play a game of bad mitten. Fall foliage is absolutely breathtaking. Lots to do in winter as well: ice fishing, skiing, ice hockey, nearby snowmobiling.

Everything you need is included - pots, pans, linens, towels, etc. The house is professionally cleaned and laundry is done between each guest.

A little gem
Great little cottage on a lake. Kind of a busy road made getting in and out a challenge but with some shoulder wiggle room, no problem. Kitchen is adequate but not fancy. Furniture was terrific. Host was receptive to a few problems and provided immediate response and accommodation. Really great little gem on a lake in a centrally location spot.

Quaint Stay on Private Lake
We enjoyed our stay, and appreciated the fact that there was limited water traffic... we were a little disappointed at the proximity of the property to a heavily used road - there was quite a bit of traffic noise during the commuting hours. Great place if you don't mind traffic noise, though!

Great lake for swimming and boating
We loved our stay at the lake house! The lake was beautiful and clean, the bedrooms were comfortable, and the house was well stocked with helpful items, including water toys and extra linens and towels. We also appreciated that it was dog-friendly and did not have a restrictive visitor policy, and we were able to have our pup stay with us, and have some family friends come for a beach day. The entry into the water is from a dock or a concrete boat launch, and it was great to have use of the canoe and fishing boat. There wasn't a sandy beach, but the swimming area is sandy and relatively free of weeds. The house is located on a busy road, but the speed limit is fairly low. Still, you do hear quite a bit of road noise. The lake side of the house is well separated from the road, however, and we never had to worry about our toddler or our dog wandering into the road. The house is also a close drive to Portsmouth, and we took a couple of trips into town on colder days, plus a day trip to the Children's Museum in Dover. It was great to have so many attractions nearby. The Winnie the Pooh trail is nearby and also worth checking out. We would have given our stay a 5/5, but there were a couple of issues. The listing said that there was a fire pit, but for the week that we stayed there it was missing. There were also some maintenance issues - a rickety water faucet and some broken panels on a glass bedroom door. The living room also just had two chairs, so not great for a group.

Lots of small issues
Nice views of the lake.. easy to access off a main road.. The driveways slants down from the road at 45 degrees with a 4 inch lip from.road being replaced not for low cars and snow. In the summer I am sure it would be fine. The snowblower pull cord broke first storm had to shovel, and use 4 wheel drive to leave. The second set of beds are in the basement which you can only access from outside. I had to level the washing machine for it to spin out and the dryer door didn't stay closed. The only way to keep the door closed was with a bunge cord already attached to the bottom of the dryer and weight in front of it. There are multiple extension cords plugged into other extension cords. My son is 6 foot 1 and couldn't stand up straight to use the toiket( located in main area meaning people staying downstairs need to go outside and up stairs to use.) The furniture was comfortable and good TV service, wifi could not support me working from home without my hot spot. I did speak to owner as I left. He apogized for the snow blower but claims he didn't know about the washer or dryer. For a 2-3 day rental it would work fine but we needed to stay 3 weeks between houses.

Stay away!
I’ve been renting places on VRBO and the like for over 10 years, multiple times per year and in many countries and have never been so badly treated! I have never in my life written a bad review, but I feel it's my duty to do so here! Let's begin with the cottage. No, it's not a house! There so were many little things that I usually overlook, like no washer detergent, no dish detergent, no coffee filters, not really working AC, the most uncomfortable mattresses ever!!!, etc... And don't even get me started on the "professionally cleaned" thing! There was a several months old spider web in the kitchen and cigarette buds all over the yard...The basement was disgusting! No way someone can sleep there! I dreaded going there to do the laundry and flip back on the circuit breaker. Yep, you can't use the microwave while the AC in the bedroom is on. All these are things I could deal with and I didn’t even mention to the owners. What really made me angry and feel unwelcome, is the lack of care from them when there are problems that are important!! After spending two hours shopping and preparing food for the grill, I found out that there was no gas! When I told them, instead of an apology, I got "did you see the spare tank?"! Yes, I did see the spare tank. It was EMPTY!!! It was 8:00 PM already and I had to think of something to cook with two starving teenagers waiting to be fed! There were two reasons I picked this place. I could bring my dog and I could fish from the boat. Well, we took the boat out, but we couldn’t even make to the middle of the lake. The battery was dead! We had to swim back pulling the boat behind us! I obviously sent a text to the owners telling them about it. And what was their reaction? "We will not be back till the end of the week." What? Well, that was a week away and the end of our stay! Any other owner would have apologized and run back the next day with a new battery! Not them! Absolutely indifferent!! They told me I can go to Walmart and buy a battery! I wanted to keep the kids happy, so I actually went, just to find out that they don't have deep cycle batteries! When I contacted the owners about it, there was no response of any kind!!! I mean nothing! Like they were irritated by me! I paid a pretty hefty price to stay a week in a dirty, unequipped shack with terrible beds! I think I had the right to be treated like a customer, not like someone who is bothering them! Find another place!

Family time at the lake
We really enjoyed spending time here. The house is small, but the main floor has a nice cottage feel. It was clean, bright and comfortable. The basement is a basement, but that is what we expected. We appreciated the window air conditioners during the hottest week of the year! Great neighbors and grocery store near by. We discovered The Lazy Lion restaurant as well! Best thing was being right on the water and able to enjoy the lake everyday.

Relaxing week but busy road
My daughter, 3 year-old granddaughter and I had a great time spending a week at this cottage. There was just enough lake activity to be interesting but not overwhelming so we were able to kayak with confidence. The lake is quite small, and even a very leisurely paddle will get you once around the perimeter. The layout of the house worked well for us with the two bedrooms being separated by the living space. Do be aware that while comfortable, the recliners in the living room will only seat two or four if they really like each other. The only real downside was the very loud, busy road with no shoulder so we were not able to take any walks directly from the house. Another reviewer commented on this and while it is true that it is only a two-lane road, it is route 202 and cars and trucks are constantly speeding by at 40-50 mph. We frequently saw speed traps set up near the house and I assume the police did a good business handing out tickets. But again on the positive side, if you do get into your car, there are many short, beautiful trails nearby. My granddaughter absolutely loved the Winnie the Pooh Trail.

Great place to unwind...
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Steve's lakeside home. Everything was there for us to use, and it was so nice to wake up to beautiful lake views every morning. The pictures don't really do it justice - there have been many updates since those were taken. Our dog enjoyed the lake too!

Nice vacation spot
The property was very nice and we enjoyed the lake. The only problem we had was the motors on the boat both gas and solar did not work. We expected to be able to go for boat rides with my grandchildren and could not do it.
