We had a fantastic stay here. Great location, quiet and private. Amy was quick to respond to any questions and we felt like welcomed guests.

Beautiful Lake House with Private Beach
My friends and I stayed here before a wedding in the area. It’s so beautiful! We loved the lake. We spent canoeing, kayaking & we set up a fire at night. Amy is so responsive and helpful. It’s really a wonderful place & we had a wonderful time.

Enchanting Romantic Riverfront (SNHU/Saint Anselm)
Had enjoyed our time at Lilly's - comfortable, quiet, convenient location to town. Missing that view of the water already.

OnAnglePond
Although we were extremely busy during our stay, it was very nice to come back and relax!! We loved the view of the lake and the main bedroom was very comfortable. It was great having a full size washer and dryer as well!! And with the cold mornings, the house was nice and warm. The instant hot water was much appreciated for the shower too!! Our host checked in with us to make sure we didn't need anything while we were there. Very nice and cozy.... The location was perfect for our running around....Will look forward to staying again!!

Waterfront Single Family Home
nice big place with nice park across the street

Cozy Pawtuckaway Lakefront Getaway
We had a great stay on Pawtuckaway Lake. We particularly enjoyed the use of the 3 kayaks, canoe and 2 paddleboards. The lake was relatively quite without a lot of motorboat activity due to the lake bordering on the state park and many no-wake zones. We enjoyed seeing multiple loons and herons. The water temperature was good in August and our kids enjoyed a lot of time in the water. The bottom was somewhat rocky but was not mucky. The house has been updated recently and everything was clean and well setup. It was very nice having 1.5 bathrooms. The dining/kitchen area and both bedrooms were pretty spacious (compared to the other lake houses we've stayed in). There are great views of the water from the dining room and the screened porch. We would enjoy coming back.

Pawtuckaway Lake Cottage
A great cozy place to stay for my grandson's graduation. This house was perfect, with a nice big deck outside. The hosts were amazing to work with and were very helpful. Location was great, looks exactly like the pictures. Highly recommend staying here. A short walk down to a cool little beach at the end of the street.

Piscataquog Reservoir House - 26 Channel Ln
My family had a great time. The location was perfect for us. Private, but close to everything we needed. We spent a day in Boston, about a 90 minute drive. About the same to Portland Maine for a day. Manchester/Boston airport was only 20 minutes away. Highly recommend Tuscan Village in Salem, NH about 30 minutes away. Great shopping, dining, and entertainment venue.

Relax and Enjoy
very comfortable, clean, cozy cabin on the lake. it has everything you could need. the cabin is close to other houses but the neighbors were very quiet and friendly. when the heater didn’t work, George very promptly made sure it got fixed. he couldn’t have been nicer or more efficient. when we left having lost an earbud, George, by some miracle, found it and sent it to us. wonderful hosts!!

Bellamy Waterfront-Convenient, Scenic & Welcoming
We had a great time staying at Deena’s Airbnb. I would totally recommend this place for anyone wanting to explore the seacoast area. Location is amazing and host is very friendly.

Great place to stay in Waymouth— we really enjoyed our time here and of all the people at the event we were attending in the area we seemed to have the BEST Airbnb!

Ponderonian Paradise; 1 Bdrm Suite
Excellent stay in your accommodations. Thank you for being so accommodating to my needs and recommending local eateries. If I am back in the area, I will be sure to stay with you again.

Quiet Entire House 2Br/2Ba Walk to Train/Colleges
Great location! Visited my daughter at Wellesley and loved the convenience of getting to/from the college and the walking proximity to town! Easy to get to the home, and Patty was very responsive and helpful through my stay

Lake House, Hot Tub/Lake/Firepit/BBQ
Wonderful house. Hot tub. Firepit. Not easy access to lake. Over a mile away & no swimming. I probably misunderstood lake access. But great accommodations

Bright and open modern farmhouse
This place is a gem!! It sits in a super quiet neighborhood and close to Alewife metro station for trips into Boston. The house was perfect for our family of 6 (4 teenagers). The house was quaint, clean, and spacious enough for all us to feel like home for a few days. Aimee was super helpful in providing local recommendations for groceries and restaurants. She was also very proactive in checking in with us to see if we needed anything. Super host!! If you are traveling to Boston, this is a fantastic place to stay. Definitely would stay here again if we return at any point.

modern Tudor in beautiful Salem nh
We had a nice stay. Andre was easy to reach and was very responsive. Pool and amenities were great!

Secluded Maine Waterfront Cottage: 1 Week Minimum
What a great getaway! The home and its surroundings are more beautiful than the pictures capture. The space is impeccably clean and filled with art and life inside and out. Ellen left us a note with some tips to help us make the most of our stay. We brought bikes so that we could enjoy Portsmouth and the other Kittery Point beaches without having to get in the car. I loved every moment of my stay and I highly recommend Ellen's cottage!

Quiet Entire house, Boston close, MBTA, com rail
Great little private house, with a private backyard. Had everything we needed, and then some. Very clean. Will stay again! Thanks, Adam!

Summer Village Resort Retreat
I traveled with two toddlers 3 and under. The amount of space was perfect for our young family. My pro tip to future guests is to move anything delicate, block the loft ladder with the spare chair, get your eyes literally on the ground to check for anything that may peak the interest of a toddler. I enjoyed the convenience of the golf cart, toddler amenities, & stocked detergents for lots of laundry. Host was Immediately responsive when we ran into a hiccup during check in. We got to enjoy the village with just ourselves during the weekdays. Rooms had plenty of storafe for our weeks worth of clothes. I am so thrilled we stayed here and highly recommend.
