Lake house stay
Beautiful location and lake house. the house was large enough to accommodate 3 teenagers, 4 adults and a baby. plenty of beds and room with the game room and front room with the best views of the lake. great kitchen which was well stocked with kitchen staples and dishes/ good working pots/pans and oven. 2.5 bathrooms and laundry room. we loved that we could walk to the beach from the dock, inside the lake was shallow enough and sandy to walk there. we loved that every day we saw a ton of people walking the street, not many cars, safe to walk. beautiful location and views, we were all very impressed!!! perfect location to travel to all the different towns by boat. had a wonderful week, sad it was over too soon!

A great stay on the lake
Overall we were quite happy with this rental. Our party included 2 families, with 8 total people. The first comment that I will make is that the house was actually a bit nicer than it initially appears from the photos. The bathrooms are in very good shape, the kitchen appliances are new, and it was clear that the owner has put a bit of money into the house over the last few years. If you are concerned about the road being between the house and the lake, don't be. There is little to no traffic on the street. We were totally comfortable crossing the road to the stairs down to the water. As for the dock, it suited it's purpose. Not great itself for hanging out on, but does it's job as a place to dock a boat. The lake bottom near the dock is generally sandy and a good place to swim. The nearby beach is also a great spot for swimming with kids. That stretch of the lake can get a bit windy, but we only had one night of higher (15 mph) winds. On a hot day, some of the upstairs bedrooms can get a bit hot and stuffy. There are some window AC units, but not in all rooms. Bring a fan or two if you plan to use all of the bedrooms. Check in and check out worked fine. One thing that surprised me was the owner forwarding an additional contract he wanted me to sign. It wasn't really a big deal as most of the aspects of that contract were in line with the listing and the VRBO policies, but it was unexpected. Overall, a good house, in a good location for the price.

Can be old but does not need to be filthy
The property was filthy. From the dead bugs in the window sills to the blood on the door frame, blood spots in the mattress pad, to the ants all of the kitchen, spider bites while sleeping, the shower had spiders in the cracked dropped ceiling with bug marks on the shower, and fix the refrigerator or buy a new one. Condensation all over the kitchen floor!!!! That created a slipping hazard!!! Whatever that sitting area down by the water is is another hazard!!!! What was totally disgusting was how filthy the kitchen cabinets were. Again it can be old but clean the place up!!!! Mattress were pitfall and the sheets are so thin. Tip for you. If you want to rent can commend decent money fix the place up. Provide decent mattresses and pillows and buy white sheets so they can be bleached!!!! This experience has taught me that VRBO has no cleanliness standards or inspections and will rent anything. Oh and the hot water in the bathroom toilet in the second floor???? Seriously, this home was beyond filthy. The construction going on next door was a noise nuisance too. That should have been disclosed.

Look at another property
House was gross upon arrival. Kitchen counters greasy, old food on counters. Smelled like a grease pit in the house. Bed sheets rolled up in balls on beds. Trash overflowing, I had to go out and pick up trash because flies were everywhere. Refrigerator leaked all week, we had to put towels around base. All of the above was reported to owner with no response. Dock is unsafe, I had to take a rock to pound in nails that were sticking out everywhere. Landing beside the lake in front of the house had old chairs thrown on the hill. It didn’t look like anyone had picked up the area all summer. Satellite tv only works in one room with limited channels. Owner said we could use elicoya state beach beside property, this was not true and we ended up paying to use beach. I had asked the owner on 3 occasions about this.......House is very run down with spiders everywhere, traffic is fairly consistent on weekends and lighter on weekdays. The one benefit of this house is the amazing view. We have rented over 30 houses over the years and this one was the most disappointing of all of them. With some effort this place could be a very nice place to stay but it’s not even close at the moment. There is more things I could list but I won’t take the time.

Lake vacation
We thoroughly enjoyed our week at this house. There was plenty of space for everyone to spread out. The kids enjoyed playing darts and foosball in the game room. The views were absolutely spectacular. We spent every day in the lake or fishing off the dock. It was so convenient to just be able to walk right down to the water. It was a perfect week. Tim was very easy to work with.

Place is Nice; Owner is Deceptive
The house was fine. If you want me to say it was "as described", then yes it was as described. It was not clear until arriving just how close it is to the neighbor, nor was it clear that a road (albeit with little car traffic) separates the lake from the house. The shared dock sounds fine until the neighbors (with a group of 12) were having an early-morning drinking party on the dock. My teenage kids were not comfortable going down to the lake to swim. Somebody failed to tell them that the space was "shared". Our owner had nice TVs and other electronics in the home, but absolutely no instructions on how to use them. Not everyone is familiar with accessing shows on DISH, or which of 3 remote controls was to be used. Same goes for the Wii. One of the windowless bathrooms did not have a functioning light. If tenants need to bring things like soap and shampoo, this should be clearly stated. Upon arriving, all sheets (about ten sets) were in the dryer, not on the beds. Compounding that, they were all wet still because somebody totally overloaded the dryer. With 3 different size beds, it would be nice to have the right sheets on the right bed when arriving. The owner emailed a contract a couple weeks before our arrival outlining things. One item clearly stated that stays less than 1 week were to not strip beds and wash them, but to just leave them on the beds. Please note that this owner kept 35% of our hefty security deposit because he claims we failed to clean the home appropriately, stating sheets were not washed (which we did not do because of his contract) and other places were not cleaned. We were scammed out of a significant amount of money. The house was in the same condition when we left as when we arrived - trash out, fridge empty, kitchen cleaned. If an owner expects certain things to be completed then it better be stated somewhere what these items are. I do not recommend this home simply because the owner is being unreasonable. Thank you. Then lake is lovely and there are many places you can stay to more fully appreciate that.

Beautiful house very convenient location on lake
Me and my brothers family stayed here for a week in August. There was plenty of room for the 10 of us and the kids really enjoyed the huge game room with WII, fusball, and air hockey. The view from every room is unbelievable and is ever changing depending on the time of day. We really enjoyed the fire pit for smores and the swimming from the dock or nearby Ellacoya State Beach was excellent. The house is convenient to many restaurants and stores but we did cook in a couple of nights and found the kitchen very well equipped with everything we needed. Would definitely rent the "Views" again

A perfect lakeside view
You wake up in the morning to views of the lake through the panoramic windows. No one else is in sight. You take the kayak out for morning paddle, or maybe wade over to the nearby beach. You pick up a book and read by the windows or relax with a drink by the water. You stay up way too late playing air hokey. Then you do it again. It was wonderful.

Great location, fabulous house, wonderful host
We spent a week at The Views as a gift to my elderly mom who grew up in NH. The house has stunning views facing the lake where she could watch all the boats (including the MS Mt. Washington) go by. I appreciated that the house has a main floor bedroom and bathroom which was easier for her, and the bedrooms upstairs all have beautiful views facing the lake. It was very hot and humid the week we rented, but the ceiling fans kept it cool and the downstairs even has air conditioning. We saw a loon out front several times and ducks and hummingbirds every day. The house is on a quiet road but only 15 minutes from Weirs Beach. The house has an amazing game room with Wii and air hockey and board games, a comfortable living room, a fire pit, a kayak and paddleboard, and a swing to sit on and watch the water. So there’s plenty to do right there at the house. The house next door is also a rental and there is a shared driveway and dock between them. Many weeks that’s probably not an issue but we had a big group of college students with a sound system. So your experience will be tied a bit to whoever rents next door. That really was the only challenge we had, though. Sunrise is really early in New Hampshire in the summertime, but every morning it was spectacular over the mountains. The photos don’t really do it justice. Tim is a wonderful host. He communicated with us quickly and has clear instructions and expectations. The house was spotless and the kitchen had everything we needed and yet also had room for us to put our own things away. It was a week we’ll always remember. Highly recommended.

We enjoyed our stay! Loved the water and view. home well stocked. a couple tiny things the owner stated he was aware of. Not really "clean", my sister and I cleaned the place as soon as we arrived. Garbage disposal broken. we notified owner. He said he had a "new cleaning service" and that was why it wasn't very clean? Overall we loved the home and had a wonderful stay.

Awesome Place to Vacation!
The house and location are amazing. I don't think there is a more beautiful location on the lake!. We had 9 people staying at the house and we never felt cramped. There is plenty of space to spread out. We loved the game room and really enjoyed that there was a record player with old albums to listen to. Very cool....... The outdoor space is wonderful and the views are amazing. We'll absolutely be back next year. Tim, the owner, was great to work with. Stay here - you will be glad you did!
