Just love it here!
This cottage is cozy and cute! Super easy access to the highway and the food at The Cover Bridge is super close and delicious! Perfect spot for a small family or couple of pairs!
Nothing is cuter than a red A-frame cabin nestled into the mountains during peak fall foliage! We only stayed one night but had a great time and loved how cute and cozy it was. They provided everything you could need!

Can't LOVE this place enough!
I absolutely LOVE this little gnome house. We recently stayed at this cottage, along with 2 other rentals, for our annual Sisters Weekend. This cottage was clean, cozy, and exactly as described in the description. The loft bedroom was well appointed and still felt private, even though it's an open loft. The first floor bedroom was super spacious. My only suggestion would be to add a hood vent for the stove. Cooking in an A-frame was a challenge with the lack of one. James was very quick to respond to all of my questions. We absolutely plan to come back! Thanks for having us, James!! It was a great weekend!

Quiet stay
The cabin is super cute, and simple! Close to a really yummy restaurant (Covered Bridge), and quiet, beautiful scenery. Very easy to get into town if you need something. James is super responsive, if I had any questions, I would email and get a response within 10 minutes or less.

Good overnight stay
I wish we could’ve spent more time here during our one-night stay, but we had some schedule changes and arrived after dark. The house was a bit difficult to find in the dark. Once we got there, everything was as described and a solid place to recharge before the next part of our trip.

Fabulous cabin in perfect location
We spent one night while travel from an overnight running race in Vermont to our vacation destination in Maine.
This was the perfect layover. Comfortable, clean, friendly neighbors, everything we needed.
Only thing that would have made it better: it would help to get brief check-in instructions before arrival (code, how the lock works, etc). We had to contact owner for code and then had trouble with how to use the lock ( that was probably on us though - we were very tired from being up for 2 days at the race). Owner was vey responsive though.
Totally recommend!

Wonderful Gnome Home
We had a wonderful stay. It was such a cute and comfy A-Frame cabin. We really hope we will be able to stay again at some point. Very close to White Mountain activities on the Lincoln side of the Kancamagus Highway. There is a wonderful woodys area behind the property with a river as well. Just all around a great place to stay!

Gnome House
The location was perfect for us. The house itself could use a paint job outside and a few upgrades inside. The couch was old with cracks. I had no dishcloths. There was only one washcloth for 2 people. Just little details need attention.

Weekend Trip
The cottage was cozy and conveniently located next to a trail system for walking! However, it could’ve been cleaner and some things would benefit from being replaced and repaired (ex: stained/dirty looking cooking utensils, stained comforter, hallway wall).

Overall a great stay
The gnome home was clean, well equipped, in a great location, comfortable and had a nice deck to sit and relax on. We had our children and dog with us. The only concern was the grill- just a bit unsafe/old.
