Family getaway
We were in the area for a family wedding. The cabin, location, lake activities, restaurant and hiking suggestions were wonderful as well as the communication with the host. I wish we had been able to stay longer and hope we can return soon!

Our stay at this beautiful lake house was like a picture right out of a story book. Thank you Alfred and family for sharing your cabin for us to enjoy. The property manager responded quickly to any of our questions. It was a really great week. Hopefully someday we will be able to return. Thank you, from Mike and family.

Amazing log cabin on a lake!
We stayed at this amazing log cabin on a lake for 2 weeks. We're a mom, dad, and 6-year-old daughter. We all loved it! The house is large, open, and spacious, full of big windows with views of the forest and the lake. It's very clean and comfy. the beds were EXTRA comfy. We used the fireplace at night. We sat on the dock all the time and watched the water. We used the kayaks and paddleboards. We explored the islands on the lake and swam at those--they are like little sandbars in the middle of the lake. Around the dock at the house, the kids would swim, but it does have plant life and squishy stuff on the bottom. I enjoyed swimming at the islands, which have regular sandy bottom. We did some fishing and some grilling. We saw a big turtle (and fed him bread, which he loved), a frog, deer, and tons of birds. The house has a library of fabulous books. The screened-in porch was my favorite place. I loved it all and can't wait to go back some time!

Winter Weekend Away
Small group of friends stayed here for a winter weekend away/at a cabin. It was perfect! Beautiful cabin with plenty of space and charm to it. Host was responsive and reasonable. Close enough to amenities you would want/need. Had everything you would want to create great memories on a vacation rental. Safe, clean, reasonable host, and the real deal exceeds the pics/description. Highly recommend!

Beautiful Lakefront Property
This rental was immaculately clean and the views are gorgeous! It has a rustic log cabin charm and all the kitchen equipment you need for a comfortable stay. If you forget something, the supermarkets are just a short drive away. Other than the furniture being a bit sparse, it was the perfect place for our family holiday overflow!

Highlight of ouryear
My family looks forward all year to staying at this home for our brief vacation. The amenities are tremendous and the atmosphere is so relaxing! You don't need to bring much when you stay here. You can relax in a kayak or seek out lovely local spots or nearby Keene for fun activities. You will miss out if you don't book this spot.

Great cabin on a pretty lake
The house itself is quite spacious, well maintained, clean, and full of many great books. It is located on a peaceful part of a pretty and clean lake. We enjoyed going out in the kayaks and paddle boards, as well as swimming off the dock. We also enjoyed both hikes on nearby mountains and just relaxing in the house doing puzzles and reading. I am very particular about cleanliness/home maintenance and I highly recommend this property.

Incredible treasure
The photos as amazing as they are do not do this place justice. It feels luxurious and just like home all at once. Though the later might be the the incredible effort Alfred and Hilary make prior to and during your stay to make sure you are well informed, well prepared and well stocked. They are incredibly generous to offer such a vacation to us all. We cannot wait to book our next stay (but with Grandpa this time too!)

Post-Covid-19 Vaccination Sibling Retreat!
Such a beautiful spot on a lovely lake. Quiet location with lots of deck space, a screened porch and a dock! 50-year old cabin has lots of charm and a nice open floor plan and tons of windows, so there is plenty of light--especially lakeside! The week we were there was very gray, cold and rainy, but we did pull off lunch on the dock and kayaking one day when there was sun--and it was glorious. (Having spent lots of time at our own family cabin in Utah, we felt very at home.)

My best friend and I had a lovely weekend escape in the spring with our families. The property was perfect for our needs (accommodating 7 comfortably) and the location was easy to find. Kitchen was well stocked and everything was very clean. At the end of the day, we loved being able to cozy up to the fire for ultimate relaxation. We can't wait to come back up again when we can enjoy the water!

We had a fantastic weekend at your well kept cabin by the lake. We were in town for a wedding in Jaffrey and needed to stay some place nearby. We only wish we would have stayed longer. The house has everything you might need during your stay. The cabin was much bigger than pictured. Alfred was a wonderful host and very attentive. If we are in the area again we would definitely stay again.

This was a return trip because we love this house. It is so well appointed. Having the kayaks handy is wonderful. Building a little campfire is easy with a great fire ring and plenty of wood on site.. Beds are super comfortable. The owner is very responsive to occasional questions both before an during the stay. There are great walking trails nearby. We had great weather but liked having the large screen porch option. Hopefully we will return.

Amazing home
My family and I rented this home to stay in for a family wedding that was at the woodbound inn which was about a mile away. It ended up being cheaper than what the woodbound inn was going to charge us and.... let me tell you, more spacious and gorgeous! Our extended family that had been staying at the Woodbound Inn couldn't believe when they walked into this house and saw how amazing it was. Alfred was amazing to communicate with. He did everything he could to make sure we were settled in and happy and I couldn't say enough great things about this home! I highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a place to stay especially if you've got a bigger family and don't want to stay at the Woodbound Inn!

Lovely house right on the lake
We really enjoyed our stay here. We were in the area for a wedding and were lucky to find this gem. The common space is so inviting. Lots of windows let in lots of light. There is a huge wrap-around porch facing the lake, a fire pit, steps that go down to the lake, and boats to use. Alfred was really good at communicating beforehand and during our stay even though everything was going great. The beds and comfortable and the showers work well. The house is easy to figure out. We would stay here again.

Beautiful Log Cabin Home on the Lake!
My husband, two sons 24 and 21 and I, stayed here for three days at the end of August. It was the perfect place to rest up after a very busy summer. I loved the open floor plan with cathedral beamed ceilings in the living room and the entire back wall of this home is made of windows, allowing you to peak through the trees onto gorgeous Lake Contoocook! There are two bedrooms and bath upstairs with a landing that overlooks the main room. One has a queen size bed, the other has two sets of bunk beds, perfect for a large family! The sliding door you see in their picture, is the deck to the bedroom with the twins.The master bedroom with private shower/bath is located downstairs off the main room. All the mattresses were extremely comfortable with plenty of pillows and extra blankets. The kitchen had everything you could want to make your stay comfortable. We brought our own food and coffee however they do have coffee and condiments available for you to use which is a nice touch! The temperature dropped a little bit at night, so we took advantage of the wood stove located in gorgeous stone fireplace in the main room. The perfect setting to play our "Indie" board games that we brought along. There are a few classic board games in the house as well. Although there was no TV at the time of this review, there is wifi. We brought our own Bluetooth to play music! The enclosed sun porch is a wonderful extension to the home, perfect to have lunch during afternoon. Outside there is a multi-level deck that leads down the stairs to the lake. Although there is no beach on this property in which to swim, you are able to use the associations small beach which is a short swim or row, diagonal from their pier. The upper deck has rocking chairs, and an outdoor grill, and the lower deck has a small table and chairs with a great view of the lake. There are quite a few stairs leading down to the landing and pier, a nice little leg work out! We had such a wonderful time exploring this very large lake with so many nice places to row, from estuaries, and even a tiny island, a great place to swim!There is a kayak on the property which the owner allows you to use. We brought two of our own! On our last morning out, we had the good fortune of rowing alongside a Loon and got very close to a grey heron! The owner Alfred, was so pleasant to work with and always responded to my questions very quickly! We loved your home Alfred and will definitely be back!
