Nice house on the lake

We had a wonderful time at this house on the lake. We had coffee and cocktails on the dock and watch the beautiful sunsets and sunrise.Did some fishing ! Owners have a house next door and they are very nice . Ate dinner on the back patio. House was clean and well supplied. Could have used another AC unit on first floor ....and a TV on the first floor ...and cleaning supplies. Other than that ....very nice !

Cottage good but charged xtra deceptive fees

Bathroom was dirty also the grill wasn’t really clean. The charge a fee for cleaning. My husband had to clean the grill. Before we left, my husband cleaned the grill again, cleaner than what we got. They charged my credit card $35 extra because they said it was dirty. They probably do that to every renter. Take pictures before and after.

Roomy cottage with a beautiful view

The cottage was very nicely laid out. Kitchen was a good size and the dining area with a view of the lake was perfect for the 6 of us. If we are up there again, I would definitely stay here again!

Cute - but disappointing

Cute house, nice location – but with issues (be sure and read #4). 1. Before arriving we confirmed that the house came with a kayak and life vests. Despite assurances, no such kayak existed. Despite repeated inquiries we have never been informed whether it was stolen, misplaced or just a blatant misrepresentation. 2. If we opened one upstairs window the top pane of glass fell down and would not go back up. 3. The house lacked adequate towels, and minor things such as a table or shower caddy in the downstairs bathroom for shampoo, etc. 4. The first afternoon, we took a shower in the upstairs bathroom and it flooded the downstairs bathroom – water coming through the ceiling and light fixture. There was an inch of water on the floor. Fortunately they sent a plumber 4 hours later to fix the problem, but we were without both bathrooms for half a day while trying to get ready for a pre-wedding dinner. And Stay NH was surprised that we also wanted them to send a cleaning company to mop and clean the downstairs bathroom and replace the sopping wet rugs, because we didn’t want to do it on our vacation. (This is going to need a more permanent solution or the house will have mold, etc.) After numerous inquiries they refunded us a whopping $100 for our difficulties, and took 3 weeks to pay it. Unfortunately, we can’t recommend this house.

House was great! Located on a very quiet large pond was nice. Fishing was great!

Brought 2 kayaks with us which added to fun on the water. Wolfeboro is very close and many activities to do in the area
