8 / 10Excellent·Nov 2025
We loved this house! The located was incredible, tucked away and wooded, with walking trails, water access, hot tub, and easy access to surrounding ski resorts/restaurants/shops. General set up of the house was nice, it's a circular home so as to be expected it was a tighter fit. We stayed one night so it was perfect. We brought our (hypoallergenic) dog, and generally stay away from this due to allergies, but the home was fairly pet hair free from past guests. I would love to come back and stay in the larger home on the property. In order for us to stay longer with kids, I would need access to laundry. My only complaint is the king bed- the pillow top was comfortable but severely concave. My husband and I kept rolling into the middle. Mattresses are not that expensive, please consider a new one for a more comfortable stay for guests. All in all we had a lovely time, thank you for sharing this home with us!

This is a lovely property in a beautiful part of NH. We loved the cozy style of the house, the fire pit, and the hot tub option (though we didn't use it). It's centrally located to some beautiful sites. The kitchen items were all very clean, which we appreciated, as we cooked every meal at the house. Unfortunately, when we got ready for bed the first night, we discovered that the bed covers were quite unclean with multiple unpleasant stains (use your imagination) on three of the four covers we checked. These weren't old stains--it was clear the covers hadn't been washed. We messaged the property managers, and housekeeping brought clean bedding the next morning, but that did put a damper on an otherwise very nice stay. We were also pretty allergic in the beds. Once we got the bedding sorted, we were able to relax and enjoy our stay. The house also has a little ring toss game and mini foosball table, which was fun. One other note--the listing sort of makes it seem like the creek/river and beach are right by the house, but they aren't. It's on the property, but the property is quite large and includes multiple houses, trails, woods, etc. To get to the waterfront from the house, you have to walk about ten minutes through trails. It's pretty, but don't expect to see water from the house or go right out the back door to the river. Before posting this review, I reached out twice to the property managers, and did not receive any follow up.

The picnic table seat broke, it was rotten, the dumpster across the road smelled bad the entire stay and the well line broke Friday night which was a big hassle, had to move to another unit down the road at 11pm which wasn't fun and the hot tub had a bunch of sand in the bottom, the owners cabin across the road was really close, we thought this was more a cabin more secluded, and there are too many rules with fees, we should get some credit fees back for some of what we had to deal with, but we liked the cabin
