Comfortable house for family and friends' ski weekend.

This house was clean and spacious for our group which included two families with kids of all ages. The kitchen and living room were comfortable and cozy. Cooking and hanging out was easy due to the well-appointed kitchen and general layout. The basement provided a great hang-out space for the kids with plenty of room to play and sleep.The host was very helpful and communicative when we had a few questions. The location was convenient and the drive to Ragged Mountain was easy. Overall, this is a great property.

Great family vacation spot

What a wonderful home! The lake access was exactly what we wanted. The kids spent all day swimming, paddleboarding, and kayaking. Tons of kid friendly books and games in the house as well. And the kids loved their "own" living room in the lower level with their bedroom. Beds were very comfortable, and bathrooms clean stocked with supplies. A very relaxing and fun vacation!

Beautiful and relaxing

My family and I enjoyed this property so much! The grounds were wonderful; kids loved waking up and walking down to the lake to swim, kayak and go fishing. A few nights we did a fire and when it rained we went inside for some board games. Property was well maintained, just as advertised and perfect!

Incredible Lakeside Vacation

We had an amazing time at the Zen Den and would certainly love to return. The set-up was wonderful for 2 families with 3 kids. The lake was beautiful and we used the SUPs and kayaks every day. We saw a family of bald eagles up close and personal! All the details were communicated clearly and the house was clean and nice. The yard was perfect for relaxing and games. It was hard to leave. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay and for being responsive hosts!

Nice place to relax

This home is on a smaller NH lake with less boat traffic and noise. Excellent for using the kayaks and paddle boards provided. The house was clean and well stocked with kitchen & BBQ utensils, dinnerware, and cookware. Toiletries were well stocked and appreciated. The private beach and campfire ring made for enjoyable memories too! A pair of bald eagles nesting on the island across from the home and watching them training their young was a nice surprise.

Just short of perfect

Property is top notch, being able to bring my pets was amazing and they really enjoyed being here. However, if you are looking to spend a lot of time in the water; beware this lake is very shallow and mucky. The house and amenities were immaculate (5 stars), communication with the owner was great, Kayaking and sunsets were enjoyed by everyone. Vacationing with my two kids, I expected to be able to swim versus to just wade in the water. Had I known that this beach location was not swimmable, I would have picked another property.

Premium Price Lacking Premium Accommodations

The Zen Den had a beautiful view and a kitchen equipped with everything you need to prepare a meal. They also had many amenities that would make the summer months very enjoyable. While we were overall happy with our stay, we do have a few concerns we’d like to mention as we felt we paid a premium price for our stay. First, there was an additional fee to access the on site hot tub, which was chemically unbalanced and had sand remains at the bottom of the tub from previous guests. Second, we found the sauna with sand/dirt on the floor and had to clean before usage. Third, we were disappointed with the overall cleanliness of the property. The cleaning fee at booking was extremely high. Upon arrival, we found beer cans and trash in the garbage can beside the hot tub, and visible cobwebs above the fold out couch in the basement. The most frustrating thing was that fact that we had to make every single bed. We understand the idea of ensuring you’re sleeping in clean sheets but to arrive after a long day of travel to discover we had to spend an hour making every single bed was ridiculous, especially when paying such a premium amount for the cleaning fee. Lastly, the listing says it sleeps 12 - I think that’s a stretch considering that there are 3 bedrooms and room enough for only 1 couch to pull out.

Wonderful lake house

We rented this house this August, and we really enjoyed our stay there. The kids are already lobbying to go back next summer! There were 7 of us there - three adults and four kids ages 10 to 14 years - and the house was great for our group. The lake is really right in the back yard behind the house, and the yard and lake view is beautiful. The lake is very shallow at the edge, and the littler kids enjoyed just sitting in the water and trying to catch fish in a bucket. We also all enjoyed the kayaks that come with the house. The lake is one of the smaller ones in the lake region of New Hampshire, and it’s very lovely and peaceful. It’s also a nice, manageable size if you’re just an occasional kayaker. The inside is very pretty, nicely decorated, and clean and well maintained. The owners have added a lot of thoughtful touches like labels on light switches, a binder full of restaurant information and menus, and baskets full of interesting sets of books (there’s a Where’s Waldo and a Fox Trot collection, which the kids all loved). There was plenty of space for everyone to spread out for quiet time, and also several spaces great for family games, puzzles, or TV watching. Dimitry, the host, was super responsive and helpful. I realized the coffee maker was broken the first morning, and he had delivered a new coffee maker within a few hours. He was easy to reach over Vrbo messaging or text, and was very friendly. Overall, I highly recommend this house!
