New Hampshire Exploration

The property is in a great location for our visit to this part of New Hampshire. However this house is in need of some updates. The bedding and pillows were old and uncomfortable. I didn’t recall reading anywhere that you had to haul off your own trash a couple miles down the road and pay $5 per bag to drop off.

10/10 spot for our large family

This home is perfection. The pictures don’t do it justice! The pond is stunning. It’s tucked away in a nook and perfect for a family. The home is clean, spacious and had more than enough space for our very large family. 6 adults and 5 kids. Book this while you can!

Perfect for an extended family!

Wonderful stay at Eidelweiss! We had a wonderful family vacation with our adult children and our grandchildren. Having beach access was wonderful! The beds were all comfortable and the house was as described. The owners were quick to respond to our questions and shared beach toys, boats, etc. Many memories were made!!

Private and cozy cottage

Getting into house was easy, both levels. All descriptions perfectly accurate of house representation and pictures spot on. Rooms spacious, good vent flow and fans/heat in each room, tv access in each. Wifi no issues, connection easy to get on. Outdoor activities as described and fun area around pond to explore on kayaks and paddle boat. Plenty of other activities to do swimming in shed. Close to shopping centers and restaurants but house is more secluded feeling which is what we wanted and great neighbors around area. Saw a bear and cubes and deer from driveway. Great experience and property owners very responsive when needed them. Great family vacation from youngest to oldest in attendance.

The beach area and the kayaks provided made for a great relaxing vacation.

The property was as described. The beach area was great. We used all 6 of the bedrooms-- gave the teens their own space to relax. All of the windows are "crank out" windows and at least 3 of them did not work. That was our only issue. Other than that, we had a great time, and the property suited our needs. This property is on little pea porridge pond and you CAN kayak all the way to the big pond, but you will have to get out of the kayaks and haul them over a small beaver dam. This proved to be my 14 year old nephew's favorite part of the trip! He thought it was great fun to pull the kayak over and explore another pond. We saw and heard loons on the small pond every day. Lovely.

Plenty of space.

We were very surprised about no fireworks at all. We had gone the week of the fourth and we intended to have fireworks on the pond. The other thing I was surprised about was no fire allowed after 9 in the fire pit. No mention of these anywhere when checking online. The good things I found were the lake area was very nice , there was plenty of room for everyone. There were 2 refrigerators which helped out during hot weather. The porches outside were very handy if it was rainy or you just wanted to take it easy I will say good or bad, we all enjoyed the place. Thanks again for letting us enjoy your home

A great family getaway!

I went with my sisters, my Mom, my kids and nieces. The place was pure perfection for what we were looking for: activities to do at the house (lake is gorgeous, great for exploring) and easy for the little ones because you can walk in, as opposed to a dock that you jump off of. There was a paddle boat, kayaks and a canoe plus sand toys. The kids enjoyed both inside and outside, with a Fussball table to entertain them as well. We visited Santa’s Village (a little over an hour away, but Storyland is within 30 minutes) and also had the convenience of all the major stores about 15 minutes away. We also did the lazy river tubing on the Saco (about 10 minutes away). The house was also perfect, with lots of room for us to hang out in. I think my sisters and I stayed up until midnight every night, just chatting and hanging out. I haven’t laughed that hard in a very long time and it’s exactly what our group needed. Raul and Jennifer were also great with communicating, getting back to is very quickly and were super helpful. All in all…we can’t wait to go back!

The house is well used and sits close to the road. The area is quiet and peaceful there are plenty of bedrooms and the small kitchen is manageable. The three connected lake/ponds are fabulous and beautiful. Wonderful lake experience.

Awesome place for a reunion!

We got together with 3 other couples that we were in the military with years ago. It was a great time and place to catch up and relax. Plenty of room to spread out and feel like you had your own space also. Beds were very comfortable and being right on the lake was great. Plenty of fans in the house so even though it was warm we slept well. Hosts were very responsive when we had a question. Highly recommend this house.

Awesome beach area

The house was clean and had ample bedroom space and bathrooms which was really important to us. The highlight though is truly the beach area. It’s a big sandy area with great swimming for kids. Lots of beach floats, etc included too. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that the house is dated and could use some maintenance, which the owner acknowledged and appears to be working on. The owner was also extremely accessible and was easy to communicate with, which we really appreciated. It was a great week spent with family!

Our family came from California to be together for this week in NH. Although we had a several rainy days we enjoyed our time together. We had ample space to be together and wonderful times in the lake. The house is in a perfect location. Our hosts were very helpful and responsive to our questions.

Nice view

This property needs updating. The area is beautiful. We were not able to use the fire pit because it requires a permit and the fire chief never returned our call. This was not the fault of the owners they completed the permit for the fire pit but the fire Marshall dropped the ball. We enjoyed the kayaks and water.
