Come enjoy a quiet and peaceful lake in Southern NH, close to exciting local attractions such as Canobie Lake Park and the new Tuscan Village. Beautiful spot on the lake in all four seasons! Sit on the deck overlooking the water and the passing kayakers, or take a dip in the lake from one of two private docks. In the Winter, the lake is a great place for ice skating, ice fishing or just talking a brisk Winter walk when the lake freezes over.

Coming from Texas, i rented this cabin on the water. And was expecting that. I should of been notified that the Dam was being repaired and the lake was empty.The shower was clogged and slowly drained and
The place was beautiful and clean and so gorgeous and peaceful. If im ever in the area again will definitely be staying again. Only an hour away from Boston and Salem MA. Was able to make the most of our stay. Absolutely worth it.
The location was wonderful for our long weekend for our daughter's wedding nearby. We enjoyed the kayaks, sitting outside and watching all the birds. The kitchen had everything we needed. We could have used more bedding as there wasn't anyadditional blankets under the sofa bed. We would stay here again.
We stayed while visiting New Hampshire and Vermont. This property is great, we had no issues and waking up to the deck viewing the lake was wonderful for morning coffee.
We celebrated a 90th birthday party/family reunion
Great location for our needs. Wonderful lakeside cottage. Clean, cute, well-equipped. We had a ball with the kayaks and paddle boards. Greg is a great communicator. When we need to, we would definitely stay here again!
We had a fantastic stay. The cottage was perfect for our family of four. We had plenty of room. The kids had there own bunk bed room which was great. The whole place was beautiful and clean!...it was wonderful waking up and having coffee on the deck looking at the view and my husband fishing whenever!
The rental was clean and had the perfect location. I love the lake in the back with the kayaks and the fire pit. This rental is about 40 minutes from Boston and 40 minutes to an hour from Salem depending on traffic. Around 2 and a half hours from the white mountains.
Cons:
I wish there was a washing machine and dryer on property, would have made it easier for me since I have a baby that is spitting up all over his clothes.
I wish they had a play-yard available for those traveling with a baby, I had to put him on the bed with me
This was a great weekend spot for my family of four, 2 adults, 2 kids. The cottage seems recently flipped and well done. Bunk beds were a hit with the kiddos and the waterfront was much more peaceful and quieter than expected. Close to plenty of food and activities.
The house is very clean, and in a great location.
The back patio overlooks the lake- it was nice to sit outside and relax.
Being technically challenged (lol) I had issue with thermostat and door lock but the landlord was always available and very helpful.
We enjoyed this lakeside cottage so much last summer that we couldn’t wait to visit again this summer. Hard to believe it’s only about an hour or so from Boston. It was perfect for our family of 5. The property was well kept and right on the lake with plenty of water activities for us and the kids to enjoy (paddle boarding, kayaking, swimming in the lake). The host Greg was great and responsive. We’d love to visit again next summer.
Wonderful location and property. it is in a quiet neighborhood located on a waterfront. We had a great time on the water in the kayaks and spending time with family in the area. This was our second time at this cottage and plan to book it again.
The immediate location has many restaurants, shopping and entertainment. It is also very close to the I-93 and I-495 highways which make it easy to travel to Boston or Maine from this location.
Our family of 5 came to the cottage this summer to enjoy a relaxing week by the water and enjoy the local attractions. My kids loved the paddle boards, kayaks, and just swimming in the lake. The house was perfect size, queen size bed in one room, bunk beds in one room and a comfortable pull-out couch in a separate room. There were lots of games, books, and a large Smart TV. The kitchen was well-equipped and had a Keurig coffee machine. There was a great grocery store and rail trails for running/biking. The owner was super responsive, helpful, and accommodating. We would definitely stay again in future summers!
We were up for a wedding and a mini vacation. This camp was perfect. Location, on a lake, house had all we needed. The AC was on when we got there on a very hot day. It was clean and very comfortable. We enjoyed the lake to the fullest. We brought our own kayak and paddle board. There are some there to use also. We fished and had a great time! Thank you Greg!
This house had literally everything we needed for a great vacation. We had a wonderful time and can’t wait to go back. Things we didn’t know we needed were already there for our use!
If I had to nitpick- the ONLY thing that would have been helpful was some kind of table lamp or night light because it was so dark! That will be on our next vacation packing list though!!
We didn’t want to leave when it was time to check out!
Wonderful cottage in a quiet neighborhood on a nice little lake. It is a great setting and was perfect for us to decompress after spending holiday festivities with family. Greg was great to work with and provided all the communication needed to be prepared for the cottage. We are looking to book again due to the proximity to the coast, shopping and restaurants!
The cottage was an absolute gem! From the quiet road, to the gorgeous lake, perfect little cottage and views all within minutes to so many great attractions. We will definitely book again.
Thank you!
