Beautiful property, nice owners, BUT....
This is a lovely property and great location. All the reviews are spot on. The apartment is very clean, well maintained, nicely appointed with upgraded finishes, wonderful beds and mattresses. The whole property is beautifully landscaped and impeccably maintained.
However, our expectations in what we look for in a private property rental must be very different than the other guests. My husband has a very demanding job and we wanted a very private, quiet place to unwind & we did find it.
However, we NEVER expected to share the property with the owners. They are, as all have stated, extremely nice. They even allowed us to bring our dog after a computer glitch. But, lets face it, they are strangers. To get to the water, dock or beach you must access it right through the main house patio/yard, past the owners, who were outside & on property 3 of our 7 day stay.
If you don't mind sharing the deck or 15' perch beach with strangers then you will enjoy your stay immensely. We found it very awkward. We felt like we were intruding on them, we didn't want to make small talk, & therefore stayed up on the apartment deck which sits back from the lake. We didn't get to enjoy the water the first Sat or Sunday or the following Friday afternoon when they returned.
Guess we are just private people!

Lakeside Paradise
We stayed at this property last week and we had a wonderful time. The property and unit was exceptionally maintained. The view from the balcony is unbelievable. We boat and have stayed in other properties around lake Winnipesaukee and by far this was the nicest we've stayed in. The hosts Guy and Mary make you feel right at home from the minute you arrive.

Stairway to Heaven :)
Our family has been vacationing in the lakes region of New Hampshire for 20 years so we already love the area and what it has to offer. We stayed the last available weekend in October to see if it would accommodate our family in the summer. I literally couldn't stop smiling when we pulled up. It is a truly beautiful property. The pictures really can't do it justice. The condo is on the second floor. I'm not sure that I would be comfortable with this if I still had small children. . but I don't so it is great! We also checked out the state park that is two miles away (biking distance for me!) The owner was great and very helpful and a neighbor from across the street even introduced himself as we were leaving!.Among many positives: lake view from kitchen living/dining area,one bedroom and decks, stargazing from deck, closet space, washer/dryer, great kitchen. . .could stay on site for a week and be quite content.

Absolutely beautiful view from the porch
This place was really nice. We were about 20 feet from the water and the private beach. if you have a boat you can use his boat dock. There was a kayak available for us to use. The place was very clean. Everything in the cottage I've been recently updated.

A place to revisit over and over
Guy and Mary were incredibly accommodating. The house was perfect. Very clean and comfortable. Incredible views, totally relaxing and tons of things to do at the house and in the area. Our family walked away from this one knowing we'll be back....

Pictures don't do it justice!
I was so excited to find this listing available for a long weekend in the middle of the summer. not only is it very clean but the location is ideal. The cottage itself feels much larger than photos appear and the views of the lake are great from the porch and outside the cottage. The beach is just a short walk across the street and even in the middle of the summer didn't seem too crowded, not to mention ...surprise! fireworks on Friday nights which you have an excellnt veiw of from the cottage driveway! Judy is so welcoming and really made our stay exceed our expectations! I would recommend this listing to my friends and family and already have!

AMAZING Location and accomodations!
This rental property was PERFECT in every way. We arrived to an impeccably clean three bedroom apartment overlooking the beautiful grounds of the private residents owned by the nicest couple we have ever rented from. The unit had new appliances and comfortable new furniture in the bedrooms, living room and fully stocked kitchen. Having laundry in the unit was so helpful. We rented a boat for the day from the Meredith Marina and was able to pull right up side the amazing boat house on the property (nice to look at even though not available for our use). We brought our kayak and was able to borrow a second from Guy and the kids were able to safely kayak close to the property. If you bring your own boat, there is plenty of parking available on the property for cars and a boat trailer - so convenient! Can't beat this location - central to Gunstock Mountain where the kids did the Zipline, close to Weirs Beach boardwalk and outlet shopping was just a short drive as well - plenty of things to do on a rainy day and some great restaurants too. We particularly liked T-Bones - great atmosphere and selections. Also a few minutes away is Walmart, Hannafords and Lowes - great for picking up a few forgotten items. The view of the mountains off the deck was so peaceful and the perfect spot for breakfast while watching the boats coming in and out of the marina nearby. My husband and I plan to definitely rent from Guy again and have told all of our friends about this great rental - just hope we don't have to wait too long for a week or weekend to open up, because I know for sure that this rental is not going to be free much longer. 5 stars!! Thanks again Guy - see you soon. Tim and Monica Aldridge

Amazing location/views and accomodations
Wow! Sitting on the elevated deck of this beautiful carriage house overlooking Lake Winnipesaukee was one of the most relaxing times I can remember. I almost felt bad that our view was better than the property owners. There is even a bbq grille right there for cooking out. There is a second deck below that as well. The accommodations were flawless. Clean, like new residence with all the amenities that one could want. With three bedrooms and even a convertible couch meant plenty of room for everyone. Satellite tv, memory foam bed in one room, sleep number bed in another. There is also a washer/dryer right in the unit. It's approx. 1.5 hrs north of Boston which makes it an easy drive for such a relaxing time away from the daily grind. I am already planning a second stay at this place. The owners were very helpful and friendly with what little interaction we had with them. Privacy was not an issue. Plenty of parking and a beautifully landscaped home that was very welcoming. Stay here once and it won't be your last.

Beautiful, quiet stay
This location can't be beat with a gorgeous view of the lake and mountains beyond. The apartment is spacious, with 3 bedrooms each with a queen size bed and 1 bureau to store your clothes. 1 bedroom has a great water view with additional closets. There is a modern kitchen open to living area, and deck off this living area with water views. Access to swimming from the back of the main house. The swimming area is quiet as boats are further out in the lake. The area where the house is located is also quiet. Owners are great people, easy to rent from and work with. East to get to off Rte 93 and near the Tilton outlets for the those rainy days.
