Holiday rentals with lake access in Merrimack County

Beautiful, exactly as advertised, awesome amenities, pictures didn’t do justice to how great it was! Host was very responsive. Loved our stay and can’t wait to be back!

We had a great weekend getaway with close proximity to Highland Mountain Bike Park and relaxing time at the cottage enjoying the beautiful view of the lake. Dennis and his wife couldn’t have been friendlier or more accommodating. Sweet local welcome gift, too. We’ll be back!

Our stay at Hills Pond was wonderful. The weather was not on our side but we were able to make the best of it and had an incredible stay. The location couldn’t have been better and all of the amenities made it the perfect getaway spot. Highly recommend booking a stay at Shannon’s home!

The house is great, beautiful view of Loon Pond, easy to find, a bit close to the road. The inside is like living in a family home. I mean knickknacks and family heirlooms everywhere. Travel books filling bookcases, grandma's handmaid pierced lampshades; it has all the kitchen utensils anyone would ever need, great game room downstairs, lots of water craft in the garage. While our kids are in the flew the coup category, this is an ideal place for middle/high school kids during summer. Gentle shallow slope into Loon Pond, which is really a good-sized lake. Cathy is extraordinarily responsive (IMHO) our example was a brief issue on arrival, she was about to make a long drive to resolve, fortunately it wasn't necessary, fixed itself! Response time was always in minutes We brought our two border collie dogs (they are like family) and outside, needed to keep them on leash due to road proximity. Our visit was late Sept, and we wanted to mostly go hiking, so did not do any water activity.

The house is beautiful and comfortable. The kitchen is fully stocked with anything you'd need, and the laundry works very well. I thought the beds were also quite comfortable. My favorite part of the house was the porch overlooking the water, which was very peaceful, and the very easy to use fireplace that added a lot of warmth and coziness.

My family and I had a great stay at this beautiful home. Everything you would need was provided. Just pack your clothes and toothbrush and you are all set. The house was even better than described, if that’s possible. The layout was perfect for gathering and just catching up. The beds were so comfortable. And the outside was even nicer. Lots of places to sit and relax. The lake was just a step away. Tanis was also very easy to communicate with. You can tell he really cared about our stay. We definitely enjoyed ourselves and will definitely be back!

This house is absolutely gorgeous and also feels very relaxing at the same time. The views from the house of the lake literally take your breath away. Ewa is very responsive and kind. She accommodated us in ways she really didn't need to and we appreciated that so much. Wifi is great at this house, if you need to work or have meetings. However, you may have issues with reception (depending on your carrier) in the area so be sure to write down directions before going! Also the street is really just the driveway and it's not marked so be sure to follow GPS to know when you have arrived! We would stay here again in a heartbeat. It's a great house for 2 families to stay together! And the basement with the pool table and ping pong - wow- what a bonus!!

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.

We had a great stay at Jordan’s place! Everything was exactly as pictured, and it was very clean. Location is very convenient, we went up for a concert and it was only a 5 minute drive. It’s also a short drive to Weirs Beach and lots of great restaraunts.

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.

Had a lovely longer-term stay here. The house is beautiful with classic old New England character but totally modern features inside. Walking distance to several walking trails and coffee shops and short drives to countless places for swimming, hiking, rock climbing, and walking. The hosts were extremely kind and accommodating. No complaints here, we had a wonderful stay!

The place was a wonderful place for a weekend getaway with my son and fiancé. The place was spotless, had everything you could imagine when it comes to visiting. I would definitely stay here or any else of their air bnbs!

I was looking for a place to rest and that was perfect I would like to thank Bob for his hospitality and kindness, the place is very quiet, close to the lake, beach, restaurants and other towns. Thank you Bob and Jimmy

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

This condo was impeccably maintained and was very clean. Even the sheets smelt brand new! We were very pleased with our stay! We had an issue with our tv and the owners were on FaceTime with us late at night to try and rectify the issue without hesitation. 100% would stay here again.

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.

We would definitely stay here again. We were looking for quiet, peaceful, and private place to stay while visiting a nearby relative, and this cottage fit the bill nicely. We had everything we needed, and Bob & Christy are definitely focused on their guests having a great stay. Everything was very clean and in good working order. We enjoyed walking along the lake shore roadside, and even got to meet and chat with a couple of the locals walking their dogs. A big shout out to Toby and his people! A big thank you to Bob & Christy for hosting us, and for wising us safe travels to the cottage and back home again. We hope to stay again at the cottage in the near future.

My husband, 15 year old son and I stayed at Jim & Janet’s cottage #5 last week. I could not recommend it more! We had the best time. The check In/check out process was smooth. Jim & Janet are wonderful, friendly hosts who are super communicative. The location of the cottage was amazing being directly on the lake. The grounds are absolutely beautiful. The access to the paddle boards and kayaks was great and made for a lot of fun days. The cottage’s close proximity to Alton Bay is also a plus because it’s such a cute and easy to navigate area with a few restaurants and great scenery. The hosts’ local recommendations were spot on. We couldn’t have asked for more with our stay. The cottage was the cleanest rental we’ve been in so far. We got so much in that we wanted to and also relaxed with the beautiful scenery. It is such a hidden gem! Thank you Janet and Jim! We hope to return again!

We enjoyed a great weekend getaway at this place. Denise was a great host who were helpful and always quick to respond. The house is cozy and clean, perfect size for two adults. It is conveniently located while being private. We kayaked on Paugus Bay and hiked Mt Major. Would definitely come back again.

Alfa and Eric were great hosts. the cottage was adorable and lots to keep us busy even on our rainy night. We are looking forward to booking another ling weekend in warmer weather to enjoy the beautiful lake a bit more. Thank you so much for sharing your cottage with us.

Our stay at summer breeze was exactly what my husband and I needed. perfect little getaway! Denise and Kyle were super helpful and friendly. The place was amazingly clean and the kitchen was just like home! Equipped with everything you need. There is a lot to do in this area. T-Bones had great food as did Legacy cafe. Their little private beach was awesome! Can't wait to go back! Thank you Denise and Kyle for sharing your little gem! it was a perfect weekend!

We can always rely on a great long term stay at the cottage.

What can I say that hasn’t already been said. This place is a gem. We were the last to book for the year and Tim and Megan made sure that everything was perfect for when we got there. Upon arriving we immediately took the canoe on the lake and caught the last bits of sun. Although it rained for a good portion of our short trip there’s still something magical about having a cup of coffee on the back porch as the rain drops hit the water. 100 percent would come back. Thank you both for sharing this piece of paradise!

What a great stay! My friends and I needed a peaceful weekend getaway, and we definitely got it! Beautiful area around the lakes close to some great trails and towns with great restaurants. The space itself was very comfortable and cozy and had everything we needed. Would definitely recommend this stay!
