This was our second time staying at the cottage, and we had the most amazing time! The house is cozy and comfortable, very clean. The property is just stunning, and the trail to the river is so unique and enjoyable. We had some rainy/storm weather but we hardly noticed - the home is super comfy and is well suited for all seasons. The location is convenient to Lincoln/Woodstock with plenty to do and places to eat/shop. The host, Stephani is very attentive and accommodating. Thank you so much for having us, we hope to be back soon!!

Wonderful getaway spot for Memorial Day, close to everything but the property is secluded and serene. It was clean and comfortable. Looked like there was beaver activity behind the property in the brook. Wish we’d had another day! We’d absolutely come back.
Rented for 6 weeks and the cottage became a true home away from home ... but better. We loved wandering the trails, the fire pit and a feeling of being really away, while close to everything we needed. The proximity to Loon, Waterville and Franconia Notch was excellent. We miss it already.
We wanted to stay in NH for a few days after getting our son from sleepaway camp and really enjoy some family time. This home was perfect! It was clean and cozy with lots of lamps. We loved the walking trail to the river and the backyard ambiance. Everything about this home and our stay was perfect!
We had an amazing stay! The house is exactly as pictured, and very comfortable and homey. The property was a perfect peaceful retreat for us and our pup - we had a great time walking the trails and swimming in the river, and making s’mores by the fire. The house has clearly been well maintained, with love, to be a family home away from home. It’s also a surprisingly close drive (~10-15 minutes!!) to restaurants, shops, and groceries (price chopper has everything including decent produce).
The host reached out to us before our stay with some tips for keeping the house cool because it’s been an exceptionally hot summer, but we had no issues, it was nice and cool despite being super hot outside! And of course cooling off in the river definitely helped :)
We definitely would book again!
Cottage was well appointed- anything you might need was there! We’ve been to many Vrbo homes and this one was by far one of the cleanest (much appreciated)! The property is amazing with a very special walk to the river. Plenty of room for our family of 5 adults Thank you for a lovely stay.
Ps.. the only thing we might suggest is screens to be installed in the bedrooms for fresh air…thanks!
We love this house so much we’ve been staying here for over a decade. Kids, dogs, everyone agree - it’s our favorite spot to stay. House is just perfect. The property is amazing. Perfect distance to all the White Mountains have to offer.
Stayed here for my dad’s memorial weekend. He would have loved it here, very peaceful, beautiful area, yard is great, as is the river access. Thank you
Stayed two nights with my husband and our 5 and 8yo. The house was perfect with lots of games and toys for my children to explore. We loved the walk down to the pond and the river which was a great way to exercise our pup in the mornings. Thank you so much!
We’re a family of 5, and there were plenty of beds and very cozy. LOVED the access to walks/woods/river. So beautiful and peaceful. Very clean, all the usual amenities there. Thank you!
Lovely stay and close to the slopes (15 min.) . It was neat and clean and the wooded trail down to the water was great.
It’s one of the better places we stayed.
This rental has all that you need. This house is very welcoming. It seems they have thought of everything. It has multiple sitting areas outside, a fire pit, hammock and river access. 10 people could sleep here if it was a close group of friends or family. We enjoyed our stay and loved your outside lights, beautiful! We can't wait to come back.
My family and I hadn’t taken a vacation in over two years. We recently added a dog, a German short haired pointer with lots of energy! We live in the woods of northern mass, and are quite comfortable with a property like this. We couldn’t have asked for anything better. We needed space for the dog, and some type of water access - we got the best of both. The kids loved and fought over the hammock, the dog was always roaming and investigating the property and we practically lived at the river when we weren’t doing a planned activity. This house, the property and the owners of it were fantastic and we couldn’t have asked for anything more. If you’re in need of some quite, private and relaxation, look no further.
Worked well for our family of 4 as a base of ops in the White Mountains!
Stephani's cottage is truly lovely. I felt a charming sense of the history of the place -- and its relationship to the White Mountains -- while staying there. We loved the well-stocked kitchen and the interesting art on the walls. The living room is comfortable, and well-equipped with games and puzzles. There are tons of interesting books throughout the house, on dedicated bookshelves. That is something I always LOVE in a vacation rental!! The kids bunkroom looked like a fun place for little kids (my teens were too cool to appreciate it much). The cottage does not have air conditioning, though, and it was swelteringly hot and humid during our stay. Probably - as climate change gets worse, the cottage owners will have to have AC installed at some point. Otherwise, we loved this place. It is clearly much beloved by its owner family -- and that also made it feel special.
We had a great time. Property was as advertised, stocked with all the essentials and was very clean. Great yard for dogs and we loved the fire pit. Property managers were easy to work with and very accommodating.. We would definitely stay again.
This house was really nice as advertised with it being very clean and in a private setting. It was stocked with pretty much any thing u need for cooking and relaxing. The area is great with tons of hiking trails which we took full advantage of. We would definitely book again
What a lovely cabin - every detail was anticipated and we were all very comfortable! We loved hiking on the property and playing in the expansive yard. We so appreciate your welcoming our dog - it means so much to be able to travel with her. Thank you!

About the host
Hosted by Stephani Buchman
The cottage is co-owned by Stephani, her sister, Naomi, and her mother, Judy. Stephani hosts the house with her mother, Judy, the secondary host. Stephani lives in Toronto with her husband, three teenage children, two dogs and a cat. Naomi lives in New York, and Judy lives in Philadelphia. They built the cottage as a year-round place to vacation in New Hampshire and share this incredible part of the world with others.
Why they chose this property
The property on which the cottage is built has been in our family since 1929. My Grandmother's parents built as small cottage (Wadcheeaukee East) when she and her siblings were teenagers. Her family spent summers there, then eventually my grandmother spent summers there, and my mother, sister and I would visit in the summers. Eventually, my sister and I inherited the property and because we wanted to preserve the family history, we thought that we should build another cottage on the lot (the original cottage is too small) so that we could take our families there and share our love of the White Mountains, and the New Hampshire area.
What makes this property unique
We have made the cottage the perfect mountain retreat with a knotty pine interior and vintage decor. The house sits on a large open field where you can play outdoor games. The back features a firepit, picnic tables, and hammock, all canopied by trees and string lights. We have created an easy hiking trail to the river with a view of the mountains and pond along the way. The location is quiet and peaceful, yet close to swimming holes, hiking, asking and other towns for activities, dinner and shopping.
