  Wonderful! It snowed overnight and the owner was out the next morning shoving the driveway.

• Great experience

  5/5

  We visited from California. Our arrival was earlier than the check in time, the owner was kind enough to let us know as soon as the house was available and let us check in 2 hours early so that we didn't have to wait in the car tired from the traveling with our luggage. The house looks just as it does in the pictures! Very clean, beautiful and comfortable for a family of 6 with a dog.

  The bunkhouse was perfect for an adult that needed his own space. Although you can sleep 3 people easily in there with 3 beds. The outside shower gives you more flexibility when with a big group, there is also a porta potty, that was very clean to be able to use when the bathroom indoors was occupied. The bunkhouse does not have any bathrooms/toilets FYI: however, it was not an issue for us.

  The owner was super responsive with anything I needed or had questions on. ( I couldn't find a TV remote LOL and he had one overnighted to us)

  The kitchen /living room/dining room tie into the garage that is turned into a bonus/game room / a office space was perfect! Very spacious and everyone had their own space if they needed it, although we all stuck together from room to room which was my dream come true to watch my adult kids hang out and enjoy each other's company with mom and dad. There are plenty of board games, cornhole, spike ball, giant Jenga, trivia, golf and so many games to bond with your group.

  One of the highlights was the firepit, we BBQed and had S'mores one night on a perfect starry night. The yard is amazing, and the trees were blooming in October!

  This house is perfect for a group or a family. We will definitely go back again!

  As for activities in the area: Portsmouth has plenty to do and see, Maine has the lighthouses and beautiful sceneries, we took a train from Dover to Boston for the day that was an amazing experience. Apple picking was a fun family time. All and all 5 star are earned! Thank you for your hospitality!

• Guys Weekend

  5/5

  We came to Eliot for a guys weekend away. The house was great, super clean, exactly like the posting. The backyard is HUGE (the pictures don't do it justice) and private, great space for a family to play games and entertain. Extremely close to Portsmouth with easy access to major routes. Great coffee shops nearby. The hosts were very responsive and made sure everything was easy. Highly recommend staying here and would definitely return! Thanks for a great weekend!

• Home away from home

  5/5

  We had an excellent stay with two kids under the age of 5, it can sometimes be tricky going and staying anywhere. But with this house it has every amenity of home. Big back yard, and lots of space for kids to be kids.

  Not to mention it’s a quiet, laid back feel, minutes away from the beach, shopping and more.

  We will be booking another stay for next year.
