Lovely little place, perfectly situated 10 min from Gunstock mountain (the main draw for us) and also close to other lakeside restaurants/attractions. The home is very clean, kitchen dishware/tools well stocked, and bed was extremely comfortable! This is the ideal spot to use as a home base if you are looking to explore the local area by day and return for a restful nights sleep! We were thrilled that Patti could accommodate us and our dog on this adventure.

Our family’s New Year’s stay at this cabin was great. Patricia was very responsive and accommodating of our last minute booking and I would definitely recommend her as a host. The cabin seemed brand new inside with a great layout for a family of four. New appliances, very clean throughout, and well stocked with supplies like towels and kitchen needs. The screened porch and proximity to the lake and docks nearby seem like they’d be great in summer months as well.

Great spot. It is right on Lake Winnipesaukee with direct access to the lake and a quick drive to the restaurants/attractions in the area. We stayed here for a ski weekend at Gunstock Mountain and it was a great time. Place is super clean, well stocked and felt basically brand new. You can tell someone put a lot of attention to detail in here with the nice little touches and recommendations for the area. We will be back in the summer for a lake trip. Thanks for having us!

This place was absolutely beautiful and super clean, but unfortunately I rented for the hot tub and lake view. The hot tub was not working, she did her best to get it fixed, but unfortunately it didn’t happen. The pictures posted made it seem it was on the lake also and it was not. It is near a lake but not visible to one. The host was wonderful and left a snack basket and decorated for the holiday. She was always responsive and did take a very small portion off for the hot tub not working. All together we had a good holiday, but with plans to not go anywhere we were very disappointed about the hot tub.
