Holiday rentals with a kayak in New Durham

Darryl’s house was extremely enjoyable. It had everything we needed, and we had a very relaxing time at the lake. It felt private, amazing views, and was very comfortable.

We had an absolutely wonderful time at Julie's lakeside home for Father’s Day weekend. The setting was serene, with beautiful views of the water, making it the perfect spot to relax and enjoy quality time together. The home was well-equipped and comfortable, offering everything we needed for a memorable stay. Julie was a fantastic host, ensuring that our experience was seamless and enjoyable. We truly appreciated the peaceful ambiance and thoughtful touches throughout the space. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a lakeside retreat!"

The Pancake House was the perfect getaway! Peaceful, relaxing, comfortable, and charming! The house is better than the photos can show, and offered plenty of space for fun and relaxation. We enjoy evenings by the fire after enjoying the sunset on the lake!

Erin's place was the best Airbnb place I've stayed in since I became a member over 10 years ago! I cannot say enough wonderful things about it honestly, from the most comfortable bed imaginable (I took a picture of the mattress and pillows and bought them!) to the kitchen amenities and the most GORGEOUS views! I went there as a retreat from hectic Boston life and it was so peaceful I was ready to book another stay soon!

Great getaway spot for a spring trip with the family! Enjoyed exploring the pond, relaxing in the hot tub and spending quality time in this beautiful home.

We enjoyed our short, but lovely stay at the lake! Home was beautiful and warmly decorated. Comfy beds and set up so nicely! View of lake was so nice and it was hard to leave the deck. We loved the peace and quiet, relaxing vibe! Loved the closed in porch too! Enjoyed pickleball so easily accessible and pretty walk to the lakefront to relax. Wish we could have stayed longer, but rain made it easier to leave. We had magical weather our full day! We hope to return to this special area and home. Loved the market so close though! Thank you!!

This home is beautiful ,well equipped, and the perfect spot to relax. Melora was very friendly and helpful. The little extra touches was what made the home feel so comfortable and the view is just perfect. We are definitely planning a second stay in the near future.

This house was absolutely fantastic, even better than we hoped! Everything was spotless and brand new, and it's in a beautiful peaceful spot on the lake. The hosts thought of everything from sound machines in the bedrooms, games for all ages, water toys, beach gear, and more! It made our stay easy and fun. We can't wait to come back!

The cottage was an excellent place to stay, a clean comfy environment with a wonderful yard.

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.

I had a nice stay at Alexa's. It's beautiful, quiet and ideal to get some rest while being surronded with nature. The best!

We went for our baby moon. The location… ambience… all of it, created a relaxing and nice way to get away from the kiddos and celebrate adding an our third! We’ll come back with the kiddos next time though because the pond, paddleboards, and kayaks are more than worth it!

A Perfect Waterfront Escape – 5 Stars My wife and I had an unforgettable stay at RK North Waterfront Cottage. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by breathtaking views, fresh coastal air, and a sense of peaceful seclusion that made this trip truly special. The cottage itself was spotless, beautifully maintained, and tastefully decorated with cozy touches that made it feel like a true home away from home. We especially loved the spacious deck overlooking the water — perfect for morning coffee or evening wine while watching the sunset. The hosts were thoughtful and responsive, ensuring we had everything we needed without ever being intrusive. Whether it was relaxing by the fire pit, walking along the shore, or just enjoying the tranquility of the surroundings, every moment felt effortless and restorative. If you’re looking for a quiet getaway with charm, comfort, and stunning waterfront views, this is the place. We’re already planning our next visit. — Eric & Juliet DiNoto

Really incredible cabin! It’s cute - homey and private! Such cute touches! Sadly it rained and we didn’t get to enjoy the water , but it still had a cute indoor space overlooking the water, great tunes and played games they had! It was a great get away! Don’t cancel because of rain.. it was delightful! Great local eatery too !! Highly recommend Stark Tavern.. Very friendly area! Will be back we enjoyed our time! Thank you for hosting!

The cottage was so wonderful! The pictures did not do it justice, we appreciated the welcome bouquet made from her farms flowers! The grounds were so beautiful and peaceful. We wanted a relaxing getaway and that’s exactly what we got. The bed was so comfortable and we enjoyed the kayaks, fire pit, and bird watching! The location was far enough way for the privacy but a close drive to Portland and other must see locations. Jessica was responsive and communicative with any concerns. We cannot wait to come back and visit every season and cannot recommend the cottage enough!

Helen was actually wonderful. She returned calls and everything. It was a great place to stay beautiful and hope to stay there again someday.

Enjoyed the cabin very much! Cabin is decently maintained and rustic. The lake and outdoor space is beautiful. We enjoyed a few nice walks through the forest and along the trails. Managed to use the fire pit one night and enjoyed overlooking the lake at night and seeing the bats dive for bugs. Grocery store and some restaurants all within a few minutes, so were able to stock up nicely before settling in for a long weekend. Internet worked great and we were able to stream a movie on the TV without buffering. Had an issue with one of the beds the first night but Gene responded quickly and had someone out to fix it in record time. Great experience and would love to book it again soon!

Natalia’s home was beautiful! We stayed for a winter ice fishing weekend with a few couples, including dogs and babies. The home was right on the ice, which was perfect for our purpose. There was plenty of space for everyone to spread out and be comfortable. The living room seating was particularly great- everyone always had a comfy spot to sit. We enjoyed our stay!

We had such an incredible stay! The first day was pretty rainy, but the house was so relaxing and comfortable that it didn’t matter - we enjoyed staying in and looking at the gorgeous view of the lake while doing jigsaw puzzles near the fire. When things did clear up, we had a great time playing in the yard snd kayaking. I was surprised at how quiet it was, especially during Memorial Day weekend. The beds were super comfy, kitchen was great, shower and tub were wonderful. Lisa left great instructions and checked in with us to make sure we had everything we needed. And she was very kind in allowing us a late checkout, which was very helpful with three young kids. I can’t wait to visit again!

Wonderfully peaceful, tranquil setting on the lake, in the woods. Perfect for a quiet getaway to reflect and renew. Everything was exactly as described, and Laurel was a gracious and responsive host. The cabin was rustic yet newly refinished, very clean, well equipped. Enjoyed the screened in gazebo, loved sitting by the water as well, plus experiencing the lake in the canoe and kayak. Also enjoyed some great hiking and views at Mt Kearsarge which is less than 20 minutes away. And finally -- the sounds of the loons after sunset. Grateful for three days of renewal!

We had a wonderful stay and will definitely return! The cabin is lovely. My daughter enjoyed kayaking around the lake. We also enjoyed the science center, Walter’s basin, and birdwatching. Thank you!

What an amazing hosts! When i check in they both came and visited and gave me a grand tour of things of the place. Showed where the lake was to kayak, recommended places to eat, and visited. Michael was quick to respond making sure i was doing great. I would totally go back and rent their place again! Thank you so much!

Came for the Fall colors; left in love with the place! Small but delightful. Cluttered in the most fantastical way. Nestled in paradise. Bonnie is so nice and friendly! Pay attention to the fact that the toilet is not attached to house. Short walk to privet and very clean!

This beautiful A-Frame was a perfect weekend getaway. My girlfriend and I spent the weekend here and it was in a great location with perfect accommodations for two people. The place was clean with great amenities (grill, fireplace, etc.) Will definitely be hoping to return in the future / am eager to recommend this property to anyone.
