All Season Lake House

A friend and I spent 2 weeks in this lovely spot on Gould Pond. The house was pleasant, clean and comfortable. The deck was great for eating out, entertaining and just lounging. Amazingly few insects! The hummingbirds were very entertaining. The lake was great for swimming and kayaking. And the road around the lake perfect for twice daily walks. Neighbors were very friendly and it was fun to see familiar faces every day. All in all a very relaxing vacation. Even got to use the wood burning stove one cool day.

We stayed for Labor Day weekend and had the best time. We had no issues at all. Such a great house & pond. We will definitely be back!

We are so grateful we rented this all-season house on a lake in Hillsborough! Everything was surprisingly clean and fresh and Charlie and Mary were exceedingly accommodating to our requests even though it was a last minute decision to go there. The beds are comfortable and the 3 floors- upstairs for the bedrooms, main floor with a small study-third bedroom- and a basement with an additional bedroom/space made it very comfortable for our party of 4 and everyone managed to find a comfortable space. There is no dishwasher but that was fine with us and we appreciated the extra paper plates available. We felt well taken care of by very generous and accommodating hosts! And we were originally drawn to the promise of loons on the lake..if anything, I was awakened by their calls early in the morning. It is a very special place.

We enjoyed our stay. 2nd floor bedrooms and bathroom were very nice and house was comfortable. Posting that there were 3 bedrooms was a bit misleading. There was a twin bed and uncomfortable futon in the musty basement. There was also an uncomfortable pullout in the library. I wouldn't have called either of those spaces a bedroom. However, we made it work. It would be helpful to leave a note for renters about the cloudy water, but our question to the owner about it was quickly answered. Several other suggestions: an additional towel rack or pegs in the 2nd floor bathroom for bath towels. A curtain or blinds in that bathroom would also be great. And a clothesline for wet beach towels and bathing suits would be helpful. Despite these minor suggestions, we had a great week and enjoyed the lake. Heard and saw loons almost daily, and saw turtles and a beaver. Kayaking was great and family had fun fishing.
