Beautiful Getaway

We really enjoyed our stay at the property. It is a home, not just a rental space, and the love and care that the owners put into it is very apparent. It’s extremely well stocked with any possible cooking appliance, dish or gadget, as well as spices and many other essential. And the stove! My god, I’m in love! It was such a treat to use it, especially since I’ve been cursed with an electric stovefor the last 5 yrs. We would definitely recommend a stay at this beautiful, comfortable and well provided home.

Another great stay in Jaffrey!

It had been two years since we stayed at this property, and we enjoyed this visit as much or more than the last! The hosts continue to make upgrades to the property, and you still can't beat the view! We enjoyed local restaurants, hiking and of course, the changing colors! Can't wait until we visit again!

Relaxing

This property is amazing to relax and unwind. We stayed for a week & worked at the home. We were pleasantly surprised with the WiFi speed. We also loved the convenience of being close to Keene for good food & a little town. The house was cute & rustic but in a perfect way with wood floors & wood burning stove. The views are incredible from every window!

This is our second time here and this country home continues to be an exceptional choice for our annual retreat in NH. Clean, well-organized, private, spacious. Nice to see some upgrades from last year too, which shows that our hosts continue with regular upkeep and improvement of the chalet. We’ll be back!

Great fall vacation!

My husband and I snd our 3 adult children stayed here for a fall family weekend. The home and view are beautiful. The house is laid out such that a good deal of the rooms face a view of Mount Monadnock. The kitchen is a cook’s dream with high end stove and a wall of spices! We had a wonderful stay!

The perfect retreat

Beautiful, well appointed house with everything you need for a relaxing stay. It checked all the boxes for our group of 6 adults - spacious, clean, very well stocked and organized, private & secluded but also close to food, shops & amenities. The host was very responsive & hospitable, and any possible need has already been well thought out. The large kitchen (with separate fridge & freezer and 2 sinks) opens to the dining area and fits all 6 of us at once, what a great hub. We also loved the great room with its double height windows with views of Mt Monadnock, the piano, the puzzles, the patio reading nook, the breezeway to garage, the amazing garage...there is much to discover in this house. This family retreat is well-loved and cared for and we are thankful that the host is able to share it with us. We will be back again next year.

Rambling comfortable house in the woods

We were up for a wedding. The house has tons of space and beds, incredible views of Mt. Monadnock, and every thing you will need. Unique vibe that we thoroughly enjoyed. This is the antithesis of the houses that have been bought and listed by companies .... "greige mimimalist" is how I'd describe those houses, and they can be great too. But this one has heart, is quirky and interesting, and charming in its own way. Owners are great to work with.

Beautiful, well loved home.

We have a small dog, and like to have small get togethers with friends and family, and this home was perfect. Very comfortable, and for people who value Wifi and connectivity we couldn't ask for more. I loved all the large screen TVs and the strategically placed power cables for both Apple and Android devices. Paul and Emily were wonderful hosts, allowing us privacy, while being very responsive to questions and offering help when needed. The view of Mt. Monadnock was gorgeous. Be sure to take advantage of the walking path around the flowering field at the back of the house, filled with butterflys.

Loved it!!

Hello Emily, Thank you so much. I am an “over packer” so when I got here and started looking around all I could say is “ok I love these people!! There is nothing that you haven’t supplied here… and wow! Such a cool house!! Love the doors that lead you to the next cool room. Our son brought over a few friends to get them away from their dorms to change the energy so that they all could complete their final papers and last-minute studies before their finals and graduation. It was a great break for them, and they all felt like they were able to step back in time as well. They walked through the house seeing all the old character as well as so many amenities. We can just feel the history and love that is here. They ate pizza studied at the dining room table met their deadlines enjoyed a corn hole game outside got some puppy therapy and allowed themselves to destress before heading back to campus (Franklin Pierce university). This was such a treat for us to be a part of their last crunch time together as seniors. That was a gift to us even though it was a few hours having them I made it so worth our decision to rent here a few days before the graduation. So, thank you for sharing this house with all that rent here. So amazing!! We would love to take you up on your offer to stay a little later than 11am on Sunday. With all the rushing around for graduation it would be nice to just take a little pressure off on Sunday (Mother’s Day) to enjoy a cup of tea and just soak in the beautiful view. Thank you! Kim & Dom

Great Snowboard Trip Location

We had a group of 6 stay at this location for an annual snowboarding trip with friends and this spot was amazing! The hosts are incredibly kind and flexible. Location + house was perfect for our needs - within 2 hours to over 4 resorts; plenty of space for a large group; large kitchen and living space; good internet for us to all work from home during the day and more. Can't recommend this spot enough! If we ever go back to NH for a large group stay, we won't hesitate to book here again.

About the host

Hosted by Emily Isaacs

Host profile image
I have grown up vacationing at this property my whole life. Built in 1935 by my great-aunt, in 1975 my mother and father inherited it and greatly expanded it. It has been passed to me and my husband and three sons, and is a place we have spent many weekends and vacations. We live and work a few hours away, and have busy teenage children so it's a good time to rent it out part-time.
I am a professor and my husband is a software engineer. My father who is responsible for most of the amazing details that make this house useful and beautiful was an engineer by training.

Why they chose this property

Jaffrey, NH is a jewel of a community: quiet and uncrowded, but with great sightseeing, hiking, swimming and water activities all around. The clean air, hilly trails with unexpected vistas, wild berries (and animals too) all have made this property a restorative place for me.
When I need more civilization, the restaurants in town are good, and both Keene and Peterborough, among other communities, are charming villages for shopping, antiquing, and excellent dining. There are many opportunities to explore other interests -- golf, horseback riding, farm tours, fruit picking, glass blowing, hiking (for an easier hike than Monadnock, try Gap Mountain), ice cream (Kimballs is great), theater (check out Peterborough Players), and on and on.

What makes this property unique

The 17-acre property is nestled within several properties, 60 acres of which are owned as second properties by my brother and cousin; surrounding these are even more woods, allowing for extraordinary privacy. Wildlife abound -- in the little brook as well as the woods, with opportunities to see deer, wild turkey and pheasants, woodpeckers, red foxes, rabbits, soaring hawks, and other large birds.
