This home is beautiful with extreme attention to detail and comfort. The host was exceptional! She called me personally before my stay to talk about the house and area, providing great recommendations for activities and dining options. This is also included in the check in instructions but felt so much more personal to speak directly with her. We traveled to Meredith for a ski trip at Gunstock and this home is definitely a must for your next trip!
My teenage daughter and I had a wonderful stay at this adorable Meredith cottage. The property was meticulously clean and was exactly what we were anticipating based on the description and the pictures. We came up for a quick weekend Gunstock ski adventure and had a great time sitting in the cozy living area in front of the gas fireplace and loved the cottage’s central location. Sharon was wonderful. She was very fast to respond to any questions and gave us several great recommendations for places to eat. We recommend George’s diner for breakfast and we had a wonderful dinner at Lago!We look forward to making this a yearly trip!Katharin and Abby
The cottage is absolutely perfect! Convenient location, cozy and so well done inside. Thoughtful touches everywhere. Such a treat to stay here. Welcoming and communicative host was icing on the cake!
Cottage was quaint, clean, charming —exactly as describe. Easily walkable to shops and the lake. Sharon was quick to respond and easy to communicate with— very attentive.
We did a 2 night getaway with our 3 teenagers and had a wonderful time! Sharon stayed in touch throughout the process. When we arrived everything was spotless. There were so many welcoming touches, including treats for our dog, fresh floral arrangements and yummy brownies!A beautiful well appointed kitchen that was a pleasure to cook in. So many rentals have dull knives and worn out pans etc.The location was great for walking to shops and the lake, however if you’re looking for total quiet this isn’t your place. It’s on a busy road, although set back from the street and a large driveway for parking. The backyard has plenty of privacy although we didn’t use it since it was winter time.
We had a great stay at this adorable cottage in Meredith. Sharon called ahead to introduce herself, let me know they were ready for us, and to tell me when we would get all of the details we needed. The cottage was clean and had everything we needed! It was like a home and a hotel at the same time. We loved everything about the place and will definitely be returning!
Property is as described and very well maintained. Check in and out processes is seamless and communication with host was great. Would highly recommend.
The cottage was very clean, well supplied, and comfortable. It’s conveniently located to shops and the lake. Sharon is quick to respond and clear in her communications. We also appreciated the tasty treats that were there upon our arrival. We would definitely stay again!
The home was beautiful and impeccably clean. The location was perfect with great shops and restaurants within walking distance. Communication with the owner couldn’t have been better. She definitely wanted to make sure that we were happy with the home and enjoyed our stay. She recommend some places to shop and eat. Her response to texts was immediate. Highly recommend!
The property and property management are superior. Location perfect. Interfacing with Sharon was smooth. She responded to my questions via email in detail.
We loved our stay at Meredith Cottage this past weekend. Sharon is such an excellent host, she is friendly and super responsive in communicating and she goes above and beyond to make her guests feel welcome and comfortable. The cottage itself is gorgeous, everything is new and fresh, the layout is perfect. It is rare to find a short term rental that is so beautifully decorated and has so many personal touches. We loved discovering the treats for our dog, the treats for us, the drinks fridge, fresh flowers everywhere, the fall decor outside, all the little ways Sharon has thought to provide a lovely experience for her guests from baby to older adult! The backyard is nice to sit out and convenient for a dog or kids, and we walked to everything in Meredith, the lake is right across the street. We will be back!
House was cozy and clean. No detail overlooked and felt like staying at a friends place. Short walk to anything you’re looking for and short drive to nearby adventures . Loved hearing the ferry boat horn and riding the short line. Cool Spot.
The house is adorable, exceptionally clean, stocked with plenty of necessities, and also had a lot of supplies for families with young kids/babies. Our host was exceptionally responsive, reachable, and helpful (don’t sleep on the local attraction guide!). We were able to walk to/from a wedding at the nearby Mills property with no issues at all. The only minor drawback to the property is that it faces a busy road, but we kept the windows closed and that blocked the sound of motorists just fine.
This home was perfect for our family weekend in Meredith. House is adorable and comfortable. The owners are wonderful and very thoughtful. Every detail was covered and made such a nice impression on our weekend experience. Thank you for sharing this special place with our family.
Our family enjoyed a weekend at the lake in this perfect cottage. We were pleased to see our every need was met upon our arrival, with brownies on the counter and treats waiting for our dogs. Everything in the cottage was well maintained and you can’t beat the location. Will absolutely stay here again for our next lake weekend!
We have been to a lot of vrbos and this by far has been the best. This cottage is so comfortable and meticulous. There were fresh flowers in every room, homemade brownies in the kitchen, treats for the dog, so many little touches made it so welcoming. Not to mention, it was spotless! It was a quick walk to shops, the lake, and lots of restaurants. We would love to stay here again!
The owner was fabulous, even baked us brownies. Great communication with owner, we asked if we could check in early, even when she had guest the same day, very accommodating.
Thank you
