Waterfront on Opechee
Comfortable stay in a beautiful location. Heidi's was exactly what we expected and good value. The views in pretty much every direction from her home are just stunning this fall and we loved stepping outside each morning by quiet Opechee Lake. Our Labrador had a great time too with lots of space to run around.

Waterfront Condo w/ Great Views
Rahna’s place on the lake was so comfortable and perfect for our stay. The location was so convenient for our needs and the property was quaint and well taken care of. We couldn’t have asked for a more picturesque, relaxing experience. We would definitely stay here again. 5 stars!!

Ultimate Stay for a Family on Lake Winnipesaukee
We very much enjoyed our stay at Renee and Dan's villa. It was the perfect amount of space for our family of four. The villa was spacious, comfortable, and very clean. We truly enjoyed their gorgeous view of Lake Winnipesaukee, and the fireplace was a special addition to our fall weekend getaway. Renee was sure to check in to make sure we had arrived safely and everything was to our liking. We appreciated the sweet touches like the bottled water in the fridge and the s'mores kit upon arrival. We are very familiar with the area and usually stay in the inn near this villa but wanted to try something different this year. We had a lovely time. Thank you for sharing your beautiful property with us!

Luxury Studio Apartment
If we could give more stars to this Airbnb, we absolutely would! Illdiko has put so much thought and care into designing the space, and it truly shows. The check-in process was seamless, and the apartment was spotless. The bed was super soft and we had such a great sleep! The bathroom products were high quality, and although we only made microwaveable dinners, the kitchenette met all our needs. The backyard was beautiful, especially in the fall, with a peaceful creek and festive Halloween decorations. The chickens wandering around gave it a charming countryside feel. Do take caution when driving down the driveway, especially with a full-size SUV (she has mentioned this in the listing), but it wasn’t too difficult to manage. We’d love to return next time we’re in New Hampshire!

Harmony lane retreat
Very nice, peaceful place. Was a good weekend get away will definitely go back when I get the chance!!

Riverside Place
This is such a serene place! Unfortunately, it rained the weekend of our stay, so we weren’t able to fully enjoy the river or the beautiful deck overlooking it. Regardless, it was a wonderful stay. Valerie’s place was spotless, comfortable, and stocked with almost everything you could need in the kitchen—and then some. There is a regular coffee pot (not a Keurig), so if you prefer specific coffee pods, you may want to bring your own. Valerie did have coffee and sugar available for guests. While the ice maker wasn’t working during our stay, Valerie kindly provided a full container of ice in the freezer, along with bottled water in the fridge, which was much appreciated. The TV is not a smart TV, so we weren’t able to stream Netflix or similar apps, and the available channels were limited. Normally, we don’t watch much TV on vacation, but the rainy weekend made us take notice. All in all, it truly is a very cute, clean and cozy place to stay. We would very much recommend it. Thank you.

Waterfront Winnisquam Studio
We loved it here. Quiet and amazing sunrise view. We ended up extending our stay a week longer. Lindsay was quick to respond and we enjoyed our stay.

Charming Country Chalet convenient to Lakes/mtns
We visited to ski over the weekend and Scott and Jennifer’s place was perfect! About 25min to Loon, a nice little restaurant about 30sec up the street, all in all a great weekend. We arrived late at night so it would’ve been difficult to find which unit was theirs had they not had sent concise instructions. They even waited up for us to arrive and welcome us in! Would definitely stay again if we’re in the area.

Beautiful Lake Front Cabin on Little Squam Lake
This was the perfect stay for a group of friends for a few nights in the early summer. Weather permitting, the lake and dock were great to hangout on, and on colder days the fire pits provided a cozy atmosphere. There are tons of amenities which made cooking large meals easy and provided activities for all to enjoy. The hot tub was a wonderful surprise as well. Squam lake itself is very clear and great for swimming, paddle boarding, and kayaking. On the few occasions we left the lake, the country store down the road had everything we needed too. Don was very communicative with us and was a great host. I’d definitely recommend staying here for a family or small group of friends. I’d love to come back!

Lakefront HotTub, Fireplace, Shop, Ski, Hike, Swim
The place is clearly well taken care of with attention to detail. This would be a great place any time of year. Miriam and the home were very accommodating. I would return to this location with great peace of mind.

Lakeside Lodge - a waterfront home on Lake Winona
We were two couples and enjoyed our stay at the lodge. It is well organized and located in a beautiful setup on the lake. A relatively short 30 minutes drive allowed us easy access to the white Mountains attractions. Vanessa was proactive on closing the open space above the bedroom doors just before we came - so this issue as reported in some other reviews has gone away… in short - highly recommended!

Waterfront Getaway Home in Epsom, NH
Cozy and peaceful little house by the lake, clean and tidy, favorite part of the house was the swing by the window!

Dog, Boat Friendly Waterfront home- no Airbnb fees
This is an incredibly comfortable and remarkably well equipped lakefront house. Plenty of kitchen supplies and tools to keep the cooks happy, and all of the water gear anyone could ask for. We especially appreciated the large porch overlooking the lake. Close to the busy road (as was described in the listing), but blocked off and made visually private by fencing. Owners incredible, responding almost instantly, warmly, and generously.

Peaceful 4 bedroom lakehouse retreat
We had a fantastic time staying at Justin’s home!

Lake Winnipesaukee House with Slip, Kayaks, Views!
Karen’s home is perfect and so comfortable for a family getaway. We had the most peaceful time in the most beautiful home and setting. Karen is a wonderful host. Thank you for sharing your amazing home.

Charming Cottage, waterfront with boat slip
Great spot in Gifford for a winter family ski vacation. The hosts were incredibly responsive and made our stay for the holidays very comfortable including Christmas stocking treats for our dog.

Sunset Bay Condominium
After a long day of driving from New York, and hikes at Franconia Notch State park, Julianne’s condo was a perfect getaway to stay in Laconia with backyard lake views to die for. The condo was clean and cozy. The highlight of the stay was watching the sunset from the balcony and admiring the stars at the private sandy beach. The host was very responsive. Thank you for the clear and precise instructions beforehand, everything was simple and straightforward. I would 100% recommend this place! :)

Sleepers Suite on the water - walk to Weirs!
My wife and I really enjoyed the property.

Breathtaking Lake View! Hot tub! Concerts! Lake!
The room had beautiful views of the lake as mentioned in the listing. The space was clean and nicely decorated and provided everything we needed for our short stay. The property also had other amenities for us to use such as a pool, hot tub, game room and community balcony. The location was also very good as is close to the beautiful lake and picturesque towns. Would recommend their place overall as was an enjoyable weekend stay.

On the Lake! King Studio Private Porch Lakeview
Lovely lake views, clean and tidy room, great service. We had a minor issue with our reservation and Christine handled it kindly and generously.

Lakeview 2 QN beds Hot Tub Pool Concerts BIKE WEEK
Cute little place. It was just perfect for a sisters weekend.

Lakeview Condo in Laconia
Nice roomy comfortable space for two moms and three adult children. The condo was clean and beautifully decorated. Good location for getting to Bank of NH for a concert. Within driving distance to restaurants, grocery stores and Weirs beach. We didn't know how to adjust a digital thermometer. I had to message Ryan late at night. He got back to me right away and was super helpful. We had a memorable and pleasant time enjoying the lakes region of NH. Thank you, Ryan!

Lake Winnipesaukee Year Round Getaway
perfect spot for the show we were seeing at the NH bank pavilion. super clean and comfortable, looking forward to staying again!

2 Brm/2 bath, Lake Views, Pool w/grills, concerts
The condo units were perfect. The kitchen was fully stocked, the unit was clean, the location was ideal for a concert at Bank of NH pavilion.
