Holiday rentals with a kayak in Connecticut River

We loved our night and found it extremely relaxing. Our hosts did everything they could to make our stay the best it could possibly be. Would definitely recommend!

Despite some snow and a power outage, our family had a nice, relaxing Thanksgiving holiday at this property. The gas fireplace was a blessing and helped us stay warm during the outage. The house was well-equipped and had all amenities as advertised. Merrill was a great host!

Immaculate space. Location and views are incredible. Check in was easy, hosts were very communicative and you can tell they put a great deal of energy into their home. They also included fresh eggs from their farm. We were obsessed with it and will definitely rebook.

Super clean, quiet and comfortable with lots of great touches. We didn’t get the best weather for lake life but the house made up for it nicely. Look forward to staying again someday!

The photos and description provide an accurate representation of the the place. It is clean, non-cluttered, and everything worked as expected. The hot tub was clean and well maintained. I found it to be a good value for the price and would stay there again. Communications with the host were pleasant and they were prompt in responding when I messaged them.

Staying at this home was a wonderful experience. The house was in pristine condition, with everything clean and organized. The view was breathtaking and the photos on AirBnb represented the home well. Brittany was responsive and helpful, on-top of being kind and understanding. The coffee station was a real plus! We greatly enjoyed our stay and would return if possible.

Great house with beautiful lake view and comfortable set up. Everything was clean and in good shape. Steve was responsive with communication and provided all the info we needed. I would recommend staying here.

We LOVED our stay here! The lake is so peaceful and the house has the perfect view. Andrew was very helpful and accommodating and we would highly recommend staying here!

Our stay was fantastic! The cabin was clean, comfortable and cozy. There was obvious attention paid to the little details that make a trip extra relaxing. I don't think that there was anything that we wanted that wasn't thought of and ready for us. We booked our stay with the intention of disconnecting and unwinding& we were able to do exactly that. The property is absolutely magical! There was an endless amount of beautiful flowers and wildlife with a winding river. Our favorite part was relaxing on the deck watching the deer and birds. The customer service couldn't have been better. They went out of their way to be helpful and friendly. we definitely recommend & plan to return for a longer stay!

My girlfriend and I loved our time at Andrew's cottage. The interior has coziness and charm, with taxidermy, one-of-a-kind woodsy furnishings, and old board games. The hot tub is easy to use and feels luxurious. The pond is glorious. Kayaking was a treat. The indoor fireplace switches on and off but is designed to look like a real wood burning stove. The outdoor fire pit provides the pleasure of burning actual wood, and it was easy to start with kindling provided. The only advisory I would give is that there is a spiral staircase down to the first floor if you're sleeping upstairs in the bed and need to use the bathroom during the night. This didn't bother either of us, but might not be a perfect fit for everyone. Thank you, Andrew, for sharing your serene spot.

This home at a lake was exactly as described, adorable, and the perfect relaxing getaway. You can't be more "on the water" without getting wet! Looking out over the lake in the morning with a cup of coffee, listening to the loons...awesome! Great location too as there are some great spots to eat nearby, simple drive to Portsmouth in one direction and Concord in the other. Our host was super informative and responsive, and the home was immaculate when we arrived. 10/10 would stay here again and would recommend!

Mary Elle's cottage was the perfect mid week getaway. We found it clean and very cozy. Spent hours on the spacious deck enjoying the views on Cedar Lake. Paved driveway provided off road parking and easy access for unpacking and reloading our luggage. Already thinking about a return visit.

We did a last minute weekend with our 5 and 2 year olds and Catherine’s place was perfect. The bedrooms being upstairs away from the living area meant it was nice and quiet for the kids, they had life jackets in all sizes, and we visited a fun children’s museum 15 mins away. We had a few questions during our stay and Catherine was always quick to respond and super helpful.

We loved our stay at Luke’s cottage! Everything was exactly as described and the location was incredible! You could not be any closer to the water! We loved sitting out on the dock taking in the beautiful water views and sunsets, and relaxing in the yard with our puppy. She loved being able to run and play in the fenced in yard. Prior to our stay, we received a list from Luke of several local recommendations from places to eat to things to do, of which we visited several and loved them all! Luke also reached out immediately when he found an item we left behind and was so kind to let us know and arrange for returning to us. We would definitely recommend this home to anyone!

5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We absolutely loved our stay at the Cottage on the Lake in Thompson, Connecticut! The home is charming, beautiful, and immaculately kept—the perfect peaceful getaway. Jan, the host, went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable from start to finish. She checked in with us multiple times during our stay to ensure we had everything we needed, and her kindness and attentiveness made us feel genuinely cared for. We felt so at home here. The neighborhood was just as welcoming—we even got to know the friendly neighbors and their adorable dog, Gigi, next door! This cottage has quickly become a favorite of ours, and we’re already looking forward to making it one of our regular Airbnb stays for years to come. Thank you, Jan, for such a wonderful experience!

This lovely home has everything you could need for a peaceful, relaxing vacation. We enjoyed using the kayaks to explore the lake. Loved hearing the loons calling. The kitchen was the most well-equipped of any airbnb I’ve been to. And it was a plus having a dishwasher and being dog-friendly. The house was super clean and the beds very comfy. Hope to return soon.

We had a lovely stay in the cabin and had the whole camp to ourselves. It was really easy for us to head out each day with our dog and enjoy the lake & woods. At night we grilled and enjoyed the wondering gas fire.

This place the atmosphere the surroundings it was all so lovely and needed, the price paid off. I loved the views the water and the shower outside. The bed was so comfortable very clean the place overall was very comfy I felt so comfortable. I recommend this place for a stay if you love to be away from people and need calmness. Everything was on spot from the house, the area outside to everything included. Thankyou so much for this, 10/10

Brooke’s cabin is a gem. My family felt right at home, and our small children loved the book and games and said it was “so comfy.” The cabin is adorable, spacious, and has everything you need. It was the perfect landing spot after a day of adventuring and spending time with our family nearby. We would definitely stay again on our next trip to the area!

Stayed here for the second time with our family of five, including two toddlers and a baby. The house/property is the perfect setup for us! Everything is safe for kids and on one floor. There are things like pack-and-plays, kid dinnerware, kid toys/books, and sand toys provided. The sandy beach is close enough that our monitor reached from the baby’s room during nap time. Our oldest calls it “the little house” and has been talking about it since the last time we stayed here a year ago. It is the perfect little getaway! 🙂

We absolutely loved staying at Tim’s cabin! Tim was such an accommodating and thoughtful host. When we told him that we would be traveling with our baby, he made some changes around the cabin to make things easier for us. We loved all of the small details that Tim has put into the cabin and its peaceful surroundings. We enjoyed all of the yummy treats that he has provided for us! It was a much needed getaway for me and my wife. We would love to come back again!

I stayed here with my wife for our anniversary, and it was easily our favorite place we’ve spent time together away from home! The place just felt so filled with histories and stories of its own, the vast library notwithstanding. But, my wife was so awestruck by the books and the decor, I think she spent the first 30 minutes upon arrival just browsing all the shelves and picking out things to read. Couldn’t have been “rained in” in a more ideal accommodation!

We really enjoyed the stay and even extended another day. It was peaceful and a great place for family to relax and rejuvenate. Everything was perfect and we didn't have any issues during the stay. Andrea's recommendations helped us find everything we needed. I'd certainly recommend the place to everyone.

Had an amazing time here! Probably the cleanest Airbnb we’ve ever stayed in. The place was spotless and had amazing amenities. Our favorite was definitely the hot tub! We were very pleased to just walk right in and relax in such a peaceful and private place. Would definitely like to stay here again!
