"The only issue we had with the house was that the upstairs shower would not work. We also did have to shovel the landing and steps when we first arrived. The heated garage was nice to put our ice fishing gear in to dry out overnight. Plenty of room to move around. Overall, I would rent it again in the future."

"Wonderful location, beautiful views across the lake. House was very clean, downstairs shower had two shower heads, no shortage of hot water when all showers were used. We brought two boats and 8 people show up (one couple and 6 singles). Everything was very comfortable, Wi-Fi worked great, nice apple orchard down the road that also sells fire wood ($60 for pickup load).

The camp itself was nice, we had some "first folks" of the summer issues in the cottage, but David was easy to communicate with and very quick to address them. We would visit again!"

"We had one prerequisite: unfettered access to both Lake Wentworth and the Cotton Rail Trail. We learned this property is actually on Fernald Basin, separated from Wentworth in 1872. I found no area by which to easily portage a kayak up out of the basin and over to Lake Wentworth. The basin has snapping turtles, lots of undergrowth. Kayaking on Wentworth requires vehicle transport. (Allen Albee Beach is a private beach and requires a pass, which was not left). Access to the trail is only by means...

"My boyfriend and I were looking for a quiet getaway to enjoy some time together. This cottage was absolutely perfect for some quiet time together! Nick and Tayla were very kind and accommodating, giving us recommendations on places to go and things to see! We can't wait to come back! "

"Can’t say enough about the property grounds and cabin 5! Super clean, comfy, pool, grill, fire pit, great access to lake with boat slip and all that Alton Bay has to offer. Highly recommend. Thank you Jill and family!"

"My family thoroughly enjoyed the spot and thought it was pretty. "
