Peaceful and a perfect location

We stayed at The Lake Cottage for a long weekend and it was more relaxing than we could have imagined. The location is quiet, yet close to hiking and antiquing. The space was perfect for our teenager and her friend and they loved swimming and kayaking. We will definitely book here again!

The property was beautiful and clean and we had such a relaxing stay! The owners were helpful and courteous but gave you your space to enjoy. My kids really enjoyed themselves! My youngest especially loved their corgis! They welcomed us with homemade banana bread (delicious!) and provided everything we needed. Smooth check in, and just an overall great stay! We will be back for sure!

Wonderful Place on the Lake

Just returned from our stay on the lake and it was perfect. Everything was very clean and you cannot beat the location. A/C and fans worked very well. Gary and Nick were great hosts and responded to any questions we had in a very timely manner. The corgis were adorable - we had so much fun with them! We would definitely plan another stay at their house.

Perfect Stay

The property was immaculate. Gary was very welcoming and had everything covered for our stay. It was a perfect spot for me and my small kids (5 and 3) to just relax and swim every day and enjoy the yard and row around on the water. We will definitely book again.

HORSESHOW

My granddaughters and I spent a couple of nights at the Lakehouse while attending a show at Deerfield Fairgrounds. The house was well set up with everything we needed. It was only about a 20 minute drive and there were plenty of restaurants, grocery stores and a DD on the way. Gary and Nick were great hosts and after showing us the ropes were very unintrusive.

The place was super cute and soooo relaxing! Gary and Nick were great and let us be as we enjoyed our time but helpful when we needed them. This was the perfect short escape where we enjoyed fishing on the lake and just time away from home. Highly recommend this to anyone.

Northwood - Harvey Lake

Overall very pleasant stay! Owners on-site but very respectful of privacy. Loft bed very comfortable for sleeping, but no standing room, so had to be careful. Lots of private seating areas outside - very relaxing to sit and read! Easy access from Rt. 4, and central to all of NH and northshore MA. Would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful!

The lake is right outside the door, and the view from the living room is just beautiful! We were in the area for work and didn't have much time to enjoy it, but there is a gorgeous gazebo on the side and a fire pit on the patio out back - both looking directly our onto the lake. One small downside, the bedroom is quite small - but we did enjoy the view of the sunrise on the lake right from the bed..

Mini Moon

This was the perfect quiet getaway for us after our wedding weekend as a mini honeymoon. The peaceful tranquility of the lake, the homemade jam & banana bread waiting for us, and the zen like plants and statues were perfect. We enjoyed sun bathing in the yard, sitting under the lot up gazebo at night, and the gas lit fireplace. The queen bed upstairs was very comfortable! We took many naps.

Peacefully PERFECT

Gary and Nick are wonderful - they are there if you need them and are as pleasant as can be. (And their corgis are the sweetest babies!) Their home is beautiful and very comfortable, with just what you need and easily within all the important routes to take you to the "sites". Of course it's on the lake, so just doing nothing is like a luxury. Whether soaking in the quiet lake, or using the home for "home base" this was perfect.

Wonderful hosts and property

Stayed here for my 40th wedding anniversary. Gary and Nick were wonderful hosts and very gracious. The house was immaculate and very comfortable to to stay in. The views are killer enjoyed our first night sitting by the fire pit and looking at the lake. Unfortunately we had the very windy Saturday because of the hurricane that was coming through. Would definitely stay there again. 100% recommend this listing. Thanks again Gary and Nick for a wonderful weekend.

Lake Front weekend

Was in town for a friends wedding and needed a place nearby to stay. Decided on this lake front and my girlfriend and I couldn’t have been happier with our decision. The property is even more beautiful in person and Gary is a very attentive host. We were pleasantly surprised by the fresh delicious eggs and banana bread in the fridge. I would give my overall experience a 10/10, highly recommend.

Beautiful Getaway

A very beautiful setting, with the lake right at your back door. It's a very quiet and tranquil setting which we certainly enjoyed. There are a number of places to venture out and see all within 30-60 minutes depending on how far you want to go. My wife and I had a wonderful stay and I think as long as you know that the bed is up in the loft, you should be fine. There are plates, utensils, pots/pans if you would like to cook and a large TV with various streaming options for entertainment. Gary and Nick were wonderful hosts and it was a pleasure to stay and meet them both.

Lovely

The view is lovely & yard well manicured. The gazebo & patio are very nice. The owners are super respectful, which is appreciated. Most everything was quite clean. The banana bread, waters, coffee & creamer were very nice touches. The decore was wonderfully eclectic. I did have a nice time hiking and going through the antique shops. Loved having a little face time with your corgies. The price point cannot be beat. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home.

Nice relaxing trip

Enjoyed the stay at Gary and nicks. House was clean and as described. Rustic in a good way. Has the essentials you need. Reminds me of a traditional New Hampshire/Maine lake house or larger cottage. Back yard right on the lake was extremely well kept and peaceful. Only suggestion I’d really have is although the large windows outlooking the water is an amazing view. It would’ve been nice to have some curtains or drapes on the windows. Will absolutely consider renting from them again next year for our yearly trip.

Lake getaway

The house has a separate apartment and it is right on the lake. Guests have use of a rowboat and two kayaks. We used the kayaks and enjoyed paddling around the lake. The bedrooms are in a loft area with a slanted ceiling so you had to be careful not to bang your head. Gary was very nice and answered promptly when I asked for the WiFi password. They provided dishes, pots and pans, some bottled water, half & half and sugar, and some spices. My husband and I would definitely stay here again.
