Laconia Bike Week Cabin

What a great place. Thanks so much for sharing your amazing cabin on Vrbo. We absolutely loved the stay. Everything was clean and ready to use. The owners were more than accommodating by allowing us to arrive early and park our truck and trailer so we could enjoy our trip to Laconia even before check in time. Although we did not take advantage of everything the cabin had to offer, we will plan on coming back and will definitely use the kayaks and also spend some time relaxing at the fire pit. I would highly recommend this cabin to anyone who is looking for a peaceful getaway with activities to do locally or right at the cabin!!

Great lakefront property!

We stayed for a bachelor party trip that involved hiking and entertainment on Weirs Beach. Everything was a short distance and the home itself was perfect for entertaining. We enjoyed all the aspects of the property and the fire pit setup was awesome as well!!

So Relaxing!

Loved our stay at this house for a girls weekend away. The outside huge 1/2 covered deck overlooking the lake was perfect for conversation, snacks, and wine. Loved that we were able to take the provided kayaks right onto the lake and paddle around. The layout was so spacious with the 4 bedrooms and kitchen had everything one could need. Loved the modern cabin feel and decor. Location was an easy commute to the White Mountains, Meredith, and Lincoln. Anna was a perfect host that answered any questions we had. Can't wait to come back!

Home away from home

Comfortable and cozy home in a serene location. Close enough to shopping/restaurants/activities, but the property makes you feel like there’s no need to go anywhere. Very clean & well-stocked. The availability of the kayaks and walking distance to the public beach are a nice bonus. It was a nice little getaway for our family, and we certainly would stay again!

Girls weekend

Our stay was perfect. House is located just a short 15 to 20 minutes from many hikes or bikes. On site kayaking. Tanger outlets and shopping at Walmart if you forget anything. Tilt’n diner for breakfast all day long. The home is well stocked and cozy. It has a great view of Hermit lake from a gorgeous deck and the public beach is right next door. We enjoyed the peaceful setting and our host ensured we had everything we needed for a wonderful weekend. Thank you Anna and Tony

Weekend away

Cabin was a great choice for a friends weekend. Surrounding area was pristine and great access to parks and water. Cabin was close to the interstate and easy to find. Cabin was excellent with cleanliness and had all the modern conveniences you would want in a mountain cabin. Wouldn’t hesitate to rent again if I found myself in that area of New Hampshire. Hosts were communicative and friendly. There was a snow storm the day before our arrival and they did a good job keeping us apprised of the situation on the cabin.

Kitchen very well equipped, both bathroom clean and fancy lighting, sofa and recliner very comfortable. The best of all was the view of lake from living room and cleanness.

Nice

Location met the needs of our group. Was clean and comfortable with a cozy fire pit. Met expectations. Providing bath linens for guests would have been a nice touch of convenience. In my case our trip involved five rentals - this was the only one where these weren't provided and definitely helps a traveler to avoid the necessity of packing these.

Wonderful Lake Place!

The property was amazing--great location, super nice and new, fun for the family! We didn't take advantage of all of the fun things they had--wish we could have stayed longer! The only minor inconveniences is that we had to bring our own towels and washcloths. We'd stay there AGAIN, without a doubt. Thanks to the wonderful hosts!

Great Fishing! Nice restaurants! In a fun location with lots to do!

Wonderful house with all the stuff you could ever need for a fun lake vacation. My boys are all fishermen and they had a blast pulling in fish after fish. The house is very clean and nicely appointed. It was nice to have AC, not a common feature in northern NH. We have already booked this house again for next summer!

About the host

Hosted by Anna D'Onofrio

We spent some time growing up in two different countries. However, not much difference between us when it came to values, integrity and the deep desire within us to serve not only our country but the community. Tony is a retired Police Sargent. Anna is a Social Worker and a Personal Trainer. We both served our communities with passion and pleasure. We met each other later in life and blended our two families. Our children are amazing. We have a Personal Trainer, Social Worker, and a Fireman who serves in the US Air Force. We dont consider ourselves lucky. We have worked hard for what we have and we taught our children to be valuable members of the community. When we met we lived in a small ranch home in Connecticut's largest city. Later we bought a home in another more rural and smaller town in CT. One of our daughters live at the small ranch home and is ready to get married. We have visited Alaska 4 times. We love it there. So we decided to buy property there and retire; however God had other plans. The plans we made made to purchase some property from someone fell through. Much to the joy of our children...lol
We then started to search here in New England for our future retirement home. It was here on Lake Hermit that we found our little home in the beautiful state on New Hampshire.

Why they chose this property

We love rustic, we love nature, we love freedom and we love adventure. We decided that New Hampshire was for us. We came to look at this property and right away became in love with everything about it. The big backyard than ends at the shore of Lake Hermit and the lake beach just about our side yard. The Central location of the home offers us the opportunity to explore all of beautiful New Hamphire. We bought the home from an elderly couple who decided that traveling in an RV was their next step in life. They shook our hand at closing and wished us well. They told us that we were going to be happy here and that we bought a treasure. BOY! THEY WERE RIGHT. Our first night's stay as owners was an amazing tranquil feeling; The next morning we woke up to Lake Hermit. It was a foggy morning, however with the sun rising and burning off the fog the view of the lake transformed into stunning views of Lake Hermit. It was our first wedding anniversary when we took ownership of our New Hampshire home. We could not even believe that in just one year we were going to own such a beautiful home and be so happy here. We look forward to making beautiful memories wth our family and many friends. We do believe that good things happen to those who work hard and seek out their dreams. As we know dreams can and do come true.

What makes this property unique

The truth is that although we still love Alaska, in the grand scheme of things we believe that New Hampshire is as close to it here in New England as we can get with the support of our children. We love everything about our home. The tranquility that the location offers. A lake that we can adventure on and fish. We also have beach rights on Lake Winnisquam. Lake Winnipesaukee offers us the opportunity to rent a boat, and go tubbing, jet skiing and/or water skiing. The two lakes are just 20 minutes away. Also, great horseback riding just a shot northbound on route 93. The Kancamangus Highway also north on route 93 to Lincoln - beautiful drive.
The fall season is spectacular. What a beautiful time of the year as is the beauty of the winter season. Have you ever seen a postcard with beautiful winter view? It is here at our house that we see postcard like views all year long. We have the opportunity to go to Gun Stock Mountain, just 20 minutes away, for some awesome tubbing or skiing at this beautiful ski resort. There are endless opportunities to explore and experience the beauty of New Hampshire, Vermont or Maine whether it is with friends and/or family.
To start the day with a beautiful sunrise, cook a hardy breakfast and go explore day after day or simply enjoy the tranquility and serenity of our home and relax. We welcome our home to guest after guest. We enjoy sharing our piece of heaven here in New Hampshire with our guests as we move towards our retirement. Every time that a guest visits our home we are pleased to take pride in presenting our home. We welcome and treat all our guests as family and some have become very close friends We welcome you to New Hamphire and to indulge in all it's beauty and all the State has to offer while staying in our beautiful, rustic yet tranquil home.
