A little piece of paradise
We had a fantastic stay at the cottage with our 3 grown children and our 2 dogs, Nellie and Rory. Everything described in the write up was spot on. This cottage had everything you could ever think of needing, including River Rat Tubes which we spent hours on every day followed by cornhole tournaments at night. Our stay was during the heatwave so we could not have picked a better week to spend at the river. They even had grilling forks which we used to cook hot dogs and smores. The cottage furnishings and decor were fabulous and we had no problem cooling down inside. I would highly recommend this cottage to families of all ages and would definately return!!!!

Dreamy Getaway
This was our second time staying at the cottage, and we had the most amazing time! The house is cozy and comfortable, very clean. The property is just stunning, and the trail to the river is so unique and enjoyable. We had some rainy/storm weather but we hardly noticed - the home is super comfy and is well suited for all seasons. The location is convenient to Lincoln/Woodstock with plenty to do and places to eat/shop. The host, Stephani is very attentive and accommodating. Thank you so much for having us, we hope to be back soon!!
Wonderful getaway spot for Memorial Day, close to everything but the property is secluded and serene. It was clean and comfortable. Looked like there was beaver activity behind the property in the brook. Wish we’d had another day! We’d absolutely come back.

Simple and Perfect
Rented for 6 weeks and the cottage became a true home away from home ... but better. We loved wandering the trails, the fire pit and a feeling of being really away, while close to everything we needed. The proximity to Loon, Waterville and Franconia Notch was excellent. We miss it already.

We wanted to stay in NH for a few days after getting our son from sleepaway camp and really enjoy some family time. This home was perfect! It was clean and cozy with lots of lamps. We loved the walking trail to the river and the backyard ambiance. Everything about this home and our stay was perfect!

A dream getaway!
We had an amazing stay! The house is exactly as pictured, and very comfortable and homey. The property was a perfect peaceful retreat for us and our pup - we had a great time walking the trails and swimming in the river, and making s’mores by the fire. The house has clearly been well maintained, with love, to be a family home away from home. It’s also a surprisingly close drive (~10-15 minutes!!) to restaurants, shops, and groceries (price chopper has everything including decent produce).
The host reached out to us before our stay with some tips for keeping the house cool because it’s been an exceptionally hot summer, but we had no issues, it was nice and cool despite being super hot outside! And of course cooling off in the river definitely helped :)
We definitely would book again!

Beautiful property- lovely cottage
Cottage was well appointed- anything you might need was there! We’ve been to many Vrbo homes and this one was by far one of the cleanest (much appreciated)! The property is amazing with a very special walk to the river. Plenty of room for our family of 5 adults Thank you for a lovely stay.
Ps.. the only thing we might suggest is screens to be installed in the bedrooms for fresh air…thanks!

This rental has all that you need. This house is very welcoming. It seems they have thought of everything. It has multiple sitting areas outside, a fire pit, hammock and river access. 10 people could sleep here if it was a close group of friends or family. We enjoyed our stay and loved your outside lights, beautiful! We can't wait to come back.

Rejuvenating Retreat
My family and I hadn’t taken a vacation in over two years. We recently added a dog, a German short haired pointer with lots of energy! We live in the woods of northern mass, and are quite comfortable with a property like this. We couldn’t have asked for anything better. We needed space for the dog, and some type of water access - we got the best of both. The kids loved and fought over the hammock, the dog was always roaming and investigating the property and we practically lived at the river when we weren’t doing a planned activity. This house, the property and the owners of it were fantastic and we couldn’t have asked for anything more. If you’re in need of some quite, private and relaxation, look no further.

Worked well for our family of 4 as a base of ops in the White Mountains!
Stephani's cottage is truly lovely. I felt a charming sense of the history of the place -- and its relationship to the White Mountains -- while staying there. We loved the well-stocked kitchen and the interesting art on the walls. The living room is comfortable, and well-equipped with games and puzzles. There are tons of interesting books throughout the house, on dedicated bookshelves. That is something I always LOVE in a vacation rental!! The kids bunkroom looked like a fun place for little kids (my teens were too cool to appreciate it much). The cottage does not have air conditioning, though, and it was swelteringly hot and humid during our stay. Probably - as climate change gets worse, the cottage owners will have to have AC installed at some point. Otherwise, we loved this place. It is clearly much beloved by its owner family -- and that also made it feel special.
