Waterfront Cottage

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.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
This smoke-free vacation home offers games.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Lakefront vacation with no water in lake
The main reason we selected this property was the lake. Thats the cover picture for this place and a lot of photos touch on it. Its even called the lakefornt cottage, i believe. That is the only reason we selected this place. Much to our dismay, when we arrived inthe lake. We are from Texas so if this happens every winter, we have no idea. We wish the host would have told us this as we had planned activities around the lake. The water also smelled like metal when I showered or washed my hands. I read that th this happens in NH with the water and means the ststem needs a cleaning or something. I also read this was not a health hazard so thst made me feel better. Someone had posted previously of the cottage smelling musty or moldy. I have a great sense of smell and i could smell it but didnt say anything to my damily. My husband later commented saying he smelled it so for him to smell it too with his bad allergies means something. Other than this the cottage is well updated and i believe with a little maintaince it has a lot of potentional. Oh, and the cleaning staff may want to slow down on how quickly they wash the dishes. We found a few forks with food stuck to them. We would stay again if theres water in the lake. tlake.

Perfect size house for our family trip
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

Great location
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.

Perfect for a family vacation
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!

Wonderful house on VERY quiet lake
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!

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.

Mini vacation
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!

Nice getaway
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.

Very scenic.
We did not expect the water to be black, and did not swim in it. But this seems to be the condition of pond water in the area. Even have the Black Water Grill which was very nice. But 4 waitresses that I asked about black water could not answer the question. Camp was roomy and we slept very good on the mattress. Plenty of hot water and camp cool during the hot weather. First class entry and locks. Plenty of kayaks but did not use as we are too old. Lots of fireworks on the pond. We had to use GPS most of the time because of the difficult location.

Disappointed —Left a day early
While the house was cosmetically nice there was an issue with the odor in the house. It was definitely coming from the ductwork and probably not cleaned in a long time. There was a mixture of oil and mildew odor. Not conducive to enjoying indoors or sleeping. There was minimal furniture one being no coffee table and only one end table. The couch and recliner were very uncomfortable. The handheld shower was great if you were 6’ tall. I couldn’t reach it. Not an overall pleasant stay. However it was clean and Greg is nice. He just needs to address these issues.

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.

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.

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!
