  • Nice house with great potential

    4/5

    The house was spacious and well stocked. Not enough toiletries for our large group but I didn’t expect that. Kitchen well stocked. We had a heatwave while there and overworked the a/c but owner was able to help us get it going again so he was good at communicating with when it mattered the most. The outdoors is a good area but could have used some cleaning up in advance. Spider webs and the like. Just felt not the most unkept but some could argue it’s an outdoor area at a lake. Don’t think it’s quite for us that we’d return but the sunset and water toys (kayaks, canoes, etc) were a big hit with the teens.

    Great getaway! The property was clean and ready for guests. Very spacious property, plenty of beds, plenty of seats both inside and out. The kids had a great time playing in the beach. We did not use, but there were paddle boards and kayaks ready and available for use. We did use the grill, plenty of propane already there. Plenty of seasoned firewood for the fire pit. At check in, we were not able to get the front door code to work, but the garage code worked perfectly, so not a big deal. Would absolutely stay again!

  • Christmas in Barnstead

    4/5

    Arrived after 4 as instructed (would have liked to arrive earlier, but our host never answered our request).Found the place heated and with 2 Xmas trees, which was wonderful. All in all it was a great stay, but would have liked to communicate with the owner.
