Quiet Get Away

Had a fine stay in this quaint lake home! Location was easy to find and get to/from.Winter stay - enjoyable to see folks out on the ice.A lovely spot for a weekend rest. It seems to be primarily a summer home and older, but nothing wrong with that.All published amenities were present!Propane stove for cookingPropane heat for most of the living space, with electric for the bedrooms.

Beautiful stay on the lake

Beautiful little lake house. It was a perfect stay for me and my fiancé. We really enjoyed our time out on the canoe and it was so peaceful throughout our stay. With the neighbors close by it still felt like we had so much privacy. A perfect romantic getaway

Cute cozy getaway

I did my research and I read up on this place. I took my family to New Hampshire and around Massachusetts for 5 days. We loved this little cozy cute location. It was right on the lake small and cozy for the 4 of us. We enjoyed looking out upon the lake every morning and watching the wildlife. We did exactly as they wanted and for our stay we made it like it was our home. It was a great central location to take a bus to Boston and close to many stores in New Hampshire. It’s a quiet neighborhood. I read about the floors being uneven, but you know in my own home it’s the same way. I’m grateful and pleased with our stay and if you like a small open living space to spend some time relaxing it’s a perfect little place on the water. I would recommend it and I would stay again. Thank you Evolve and homeowner for allowing us to stay in your home. A 🤗😀

Would stay again

Our stay was great! Appreciated a place for the family to spread out a little more than a hotle room. Perfect for families. Matt was very responsive to some things that came up. We would definitely stay here again if we are in the area again!

Late Fall Stay

We stayed for our daughter's wedding and the location was 10 minutes from the venue. The stay was nice but I didn't realize there was no dishwasher - which meant "KP" duty for us. The '4' rating is because there was no working sink stopper - which meant dishes had to be washed in a big bowl - plus the sink faucet is plumbed backward - making us think there was no hot water!

Nice place

We enjoyed our stay. Quiet little cabin on a lake. The opposite of fancy but good location and nice view of the water. Convenient access for canoeing and kayaking. The place does not comfortably sleep 6 people as advertised, but we made it work. There's only one actual bed in the entire place. The living room has a pullout sofa, then there's a couch to sleep on in another room and a trundle as well. For a family of 5 (2 adults and 3 kids) everyone had their own space but not everyone got to sleep in a bed.We were happy to be there and it served our needs. No major complaints.

Comfortable little house on the lake

Overall, we were happy with our stay. We were there in the winter, so we didn't get to enjoy the lake. The house was great as a launch point between Boston and the mountains.The house is literally on the lake. Water touches the lake side of the house. When we were there, the lake was frozen and beautiful.The house was well stocked and perfectly ready for us. There's plenty of parking. It's an older house, so the ceilings can be low and the floors are sometimes uneven. But the main room is vaulted, spacious and wonderful.Our only complaint is that it's listed as "sleeps 6". We came with 5 and that was a stretch. There's a main bedroom, a smaller secondary bedroom, and a pullout in the main room. If the secondary bedroom had a double bed in it, then "sleeps 6" would be accurate, if tight.

Cute lake house

Largely, it was quite nice. The description inferred that it would have no steps and I thought it would be ADA friendly. While there are no steps, there is NO chair with arms that would allow a person with limited mobility to stand and sit safely. that was disappointing. More disappointing was the phone call to the property manager where I informed him that the toilet seat was loose and sliding sideways and did ask if a chair with arms was available. His answer was that neither could be managed during our stay.
