10 / 10Outstanding·Sep 2025
This location on the water is fantastic. Do not expect the house itself to be luxurious, but if a "cabin-like" feel is good for you (it was for us) then this will serve you well. As listing mentions, there is a ladder to third bedroom loft, but also the stairs down to the master bedroom are little steep and tight, so be aware of that; privacy is fine but know that one can hear all footsteps from above from the master bedroom. Comfortable furnishings and extras. View can't be beat, a little beach area (expect a little climbing), and a functional dock. We will return if available!

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful home! The house is stunning and so well-appointed; the owners have thought of everything guests might need. Just an outstanding experience!

This property was absolutely perfect for our family. It was modern, comfortable, functional, and adorable inside and out. We stayed only a few days and wish we could have stayed longer. We had a few questions about the property before arriving and the property manager, Tammy was very responsive and super kind. It was truly a wonderful stay.
6 / 10Average·Oct 2023
Pros-This property has an incredible view of the lake and mountains. There is a beautiful dining room table and cozy living area and enclosed porch.The master bedroom is large and the bedding is quite comfortable.
Location was great for easy day trips to Franconia Notch, the Kank scenic drive and up to North Conway, Portsmouth and a drive along the coast.
Cons-
There is a lot of noise from the road. It did quiet down most of the night and there are white noise machines there, but you are basically a car length from a busy road.
There is no dishwasher, at least while we were there. We were told a renovation of the kitchen was beginning the next day.
It needs a detailed cleaning. It was mostly adequate except for the upstairs bathroom floor which we called about. Tammy was apologetic and sent someone the next morning to redo it and we met that person on our way out for the day. When we returned the floor was exactly the same, including a wad of hair and visible debris. When I sent a text asking what happened, she said the cleaner told her it looked fine. Needless to say we didn’t walk barefoot or shower in that bathroom.
The windows and screens needed a thorough cleaning to really maximize the enjoyment of the view. This was disappointing and annoying since the weather was a little cool for sitting outside and we were there for that view!
Overall it seemed like it was the off season for this cottage and they didn’t really care if everything was ship shape or not.
