We had such a great stay at Leatha and Ed’s ! It was an awesome place for my family to gather for a few days. The listing is very accurate and the location is great right on the water!
This cottage had everything you could ever wantLocation the view was amazing. The whole family had an amazing time. We can’t wait to come back next year.Todd & Brenda
This was our second stay at this location and we were not disappointed. There is literally everything you could need for your vacation with plenty of games, floats and kayaks to keep you entertained. Would recommend this place to anyone!
Our group has stayed at this property several times and keep coming back because it is such a special spot. There is so much to do between the lake itself, the fire pit, hot tub, pool table, and karaoke. We love to cook and the kitchen space is wonderful. We always enjoy our time here. Can’t wait to stay again!
We were visiting NH to see my brother. We spent quite a bit of time relaxing at the house and it was wonderful. The views were beautiful and the lake was peaceful although I suspect it would be much busier during the summer season. The hosts were exactly as communicative as desired. We highly recommend this property to others and would stay again in the future.
Comfortable setting with plenty of space to sprawl. All the amenities you could need are provided, the lake is pure pleasure and the garden s are beautiful. Our family loved every moment. Thanks to our hosts for a lovely experience.
Beautiful lake house! Perfect for a holiday getaway with family. Cozy rooms. Wonderful kitchen for food prep and entertaining. I would book again in the future.
My family and I had a great weekend getaway at this property. It was very clean and they have thought of every little detail to add. House had everything we needed from beach towels to a crockpot. Was stocked with plenty of supplies such a toilet paper, shampoo, soaps and more. Great little getaway, definitely would return.
My family and I have stayed here a few times now and we are never disappointed. Ed and Leatha have an amazing attention to detail and are always available. The house is always clean and an it’s a great place to just focus on family and live some life on the lake.
We stayed at the lake house for my daughters wedding held nearby in Durham. Perfect place to accommodate us and try to keep us calm with views of the lake and little ducklings. Unfortunately we were too busy to enjoy all the home had to offer but we will be back!
The house is beautiful and spotless. So many different sitting areas inside and out. The house has so many amenities that we didn’t feel like we were missing anything.
The host was very responsive and accommodated our requests. Looking forward to our next girl’s weekend trip, that I have already rebooked.
We stayed for a second time and everything was as great as the first. Plenty of space for our group to spread out and enough activities for all ages (we had 11-92). Ed ≤atha are super kind and responsive at any point. Looking forward to year #3. This has definitely turned into our family favorite spot.
My sister and I took our daughter's on a little getaway and this house had everything we needed. We all had our own space and traveling with 3 teens space is important. There's plenty of stuff to do at the house we didnt feel we had to go find something. The hosts were great to communicate with. Would stay here again and recommend to others.
We had a great stay at this beautiful lake house. The owners were so great to deal with. If you have a question they get back to you fast. There is literally everything you could need for your vacation. The house was spacious, clean . I would recommend this place to anyone! Thank you Ed and Leatha
Whatever you need in the kitchen is not only there but also of the best quality. That holds true with the towels (in abundance!) as well. Our teens loved playing pool. Our getaway was in November, so we couldn't take advantage of the lake activities. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving and highly recommend it for family gatherings of many ages.
The house had a generous layout with room to spread out and be comfortable. Sited right on the waterfront, it was a beautiful location.
It’s all there - a hot tub, kayaks, pool table. We parked 4 cars too. Owner was responsive to anything that came up - our wayward Amazon package - even reaching out to mail carrier for help. Very accommodating! Would certainly return when we get a chance.
The place was really warm, bright, clean and fun. The hot tube was great, the back deck area / waters edge was easy to access without 500 steps, Kareoke machine was going the whole time. Kitchen was great, we cooked every meal for the 3 days. Gas pressure is a little low on the cooktop but it all worked just fine. The 2 story sun room is really nice to read in. Beds were comfy and bathrooms were clean. The tub/shower valve is a little counter intuitive but we figured it out. Having a Market basket 12 minutes down the road is great.
We had an amazing summer family and friends (framily) vacation in this beautiful oasis! We all had such a great time on the lake this week with our best friends and our babies and our two pups! Spent our days swimming, fishing, floating, and kayaking. Spent our nights hanging in the hot tub, playing pool, watching the Olympics, playing games and just spending time together in this little slice of paradise. Can’t wait to come back next August! Ed and Leatha are such thoughtful and considerate hosts. We had everything we could have needed, wanted, and more!
My family including 6 adults and 2 children stayed at this house February 14-17, 2025. House is as described in listing. House was clean and fully furnished. We enjoyed the sun room as we watched the snow fall. Karaoke machine was a big hit with the grandchildren. We would definitely go back and remarked that it would be fun to be there in the summer. The only suggestion was for some hooks to hang winter coats and jackets.
We had a perfect weekend at this lakeside cottage!
We were in town for our son's graduation from UNH, and needed a home that was large enough for grandparents and ourselves. This was a perfect place for us to relax, unwind, and enjoy some family time! The listing is accurate, and there was nothing extra that we could have wanted. We have stayed at many rental homes in the past, but this is the first time that I can honestly say that all we needed to bring were our clothes and food. There were plenty of towels (both bath towels and beach towels), and an entire closet of extra bedding. The kitchen was well stocked with anything you could have needed to cook, and we were surprised with a little snack basket and k-cups for the Keurig. Toilet paper, paper towels, hand soap, dish soap, shampoo, conditioner, and bodywash were all provided as well. We were able to use the kayaks and paddleboat (plenty of life vests and water shoes were also available to us), and the hot tub, pool table, and karaoke machine kept us plenty busy while it was raining. The host was easy to communicate with both before an during our stay. Would highly recommend!
