Fabulous Family Funhouse

Beautiful state, beautiful house. Exactly as pictured. Enjoyed all the amenity’s . So much to do from only 15min to an hour away. Hosts responded quickly with any questions we had. I would absolutely recommend for any occasions. The only issue was it says the property sleeps 10 and with adults some of the beds were twins so it is tight fit.

Fantastic July 4 week

This was the perfect property for our family. Plenty of space, big yard, access to water. The deck space with the awning was a great hangout with lake views. The house is well maintained and the hosts were quick to respond.

Relaxing 40th Birthday weekend.

Beautiful home and location! Water front access with on site kayaks and pedal boats were a lot of fun. Often times you never know if you're going to love the sleeping arranget and I have to say, all the beds were wonderful. We celebrated my wife's 40th birthday and it was everything we dreamed of. We loved our stay at Serenity by the lake.

Great reunion get-together!

We were a group of 6 lifelong friends who are spread near and far, and hadn't all been away together in 15 years. There were 3 "must haves" on our list: on a lake, hot tub, fire pit. This property fit the bill. Easy check in process. Very clean. Beautiful views from the deck where we spent most of our time (weather was not the most cooperative, but can't control that). Hosts were very responsive for any questions we had during our stay. We had the most amazing time laughing, eating -- a lot of eating -- and reminiscing. We will definitely stay here again.

Amazing place

We stayed for a little girls weekend and the house slept all 8 of us very comfortably with room for more. The location is great! Nice and quiet with plenty to do. We honestly just hung out at the house and had a blast! Kayaked, grilled, sunbathed, had a bonfire and used the hot tub. We will definitely stay here again!

Beautiful, relaxing setting

We completely enjoyed our 1 week stay at this lake side home. It was as advertised, spotlessly clean on arrival and had all the basics to help us enjoy our stay. We enjoyed kayaking on the lake, lounging next to the lake and time at night around the good sized fire pit. Perhaps our favorite view was from the deck which gave an expansive view and was comfortable with a table, deck furniture and an awning to shield from direct sun. Would definitely recommend!!

Great House with Helpful Owners

Our family stayed at this property over the holidays and had a wonderful experience. We arrived on Christmas Day and the owners were very helpful and helped us pre-purchase groceries since the stores would be closed. We were very appreciative of this and it helped make our holiday perfect. Everything in the house was as described and clean. The lake was iced over and was a beautiful view. The only thing that was missing was a working fireplace. We would definitely rent this property again!

Best vacation ever had, hassle free process from booking to check-out, Excellent experience!

It was one of the best vacation we had in the past few years, Great location with excellent ambience, adding to that the view from deck was awesome, thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! I can't put it in words the feeling we had having coffee and break fast on the deck, so calm and refreshing! Looking forward to visit this vacation home again soon! I highly recommend this place if you are looking to spend your time doing vacation in NH area, kids loved water front, swimming and kayaking

Wonderful Lakeside Stay

We stayed here in October to take in the beautiful Fall. The home was absolutely wonderful, as advertised, very clean and beautifully situated right on a little lake. My family enjoyed having a little fire, watching the sun set, and taking in nature. Would highly recommend.

Start your day with breakfast on the bedroom patio, with peaceful lake views. The decks have remotely operated awnings for sunny days. The large backyard allows your kids to play outdoors safely, with multiple areas in the house to watch them. The beach area has two lounge chairs with an umbrella for relaxation while your little ones explore the water.

You’re welcome to use the water toys we've stored for you or bring your own. We offer three adult kayaks, two kid kayaks, one paddle boat, and basic life jackets. Enjoy the lake but at your own risk.

The backyard is equipped with a picnic table, chairs, charcoal grill, and outdoor fire pit for campfires and s’mores!

After a busy day, snuggle up with hot chocolate or use the hot tub and admire the views.
