Cottage vacation rentals in Alton

Everything was great. We're so glad we stayed here. Everything was so easy here and it was so close to everywhere we needed to go.

We LOVED our girls weekend away. The 3 bedrooms and sleeper sofa offered ample space for everyone to spread out. The space had everything we could ask for! Unfortunately it was a wet weekend and we did not have a chance to make a fire / roast smores, however, we enjoyed so much more. We made our morning coffee and took the short walk to the waterfront to take in the surroundings while the sky was clear. Once back at the house, we were able to enjoy the outdoor space to the fullest - hot tub and there is a spacious pergola covering the patio set so we could sit outside to eat, play cards and stayed dry! And morning two, coffee on the front porch while rocking on the coziest of chairs. A great stay!

Cozy cottage, comfortable beds, easy access to surrounding area. We loved having our coffee on the back patio. Very responsive to all communications. Very easy to work with. Exactly what we needed. We’ll be back. Thanks so much!

A great spot tucked away!! House was cute and as shown in the pictures, is right on the water and has some great views! It rained the majority of the time we were there so didn’t get to take advantage of all the outdoor amenities, but would have if better weather! Host was very friendly, communicative and responsive!

We enjoyed our stay. Nice and clean. Smelled fresh. The cottage was as described and even had more homey accents than expected - coffee maker, coffee pods, coffee milk, condiments in the fridge, toaster, snacks, nice dishes and cookware, great TV, comfy sofa and even an electronic fireplace in the main bedroom. Many thoughtful details throughout. Soap, shampoo and conditioner in the shower. Extra towels. A hot tub ready to enjoy and kayaks at the house to use at the nearby lake. I really wish it wasn’t a downpour weekend so we could’ve used the hot tub and kayaks. Quiet neighborhood. Parking for 1-2 cars. Great notebook chock full of helpful information of the area. Nice touch! We would stay here again and can see this being a great location for summer with the lake and water availability. The owners were kind and very responsive to any and all feedback.

Beautiful house in the heart of North Conway! Privacy but close to all fun attractions. Spacious but cozy vibes. The hot tub was a hit, especially after a day of skiing! Only thing I would say Is make sure you have a car that can get up hill in snow. Such a great time! Would love to come back!

The house was clean and well maintained. The view was gorgeous, too bad Mother Nature didn’t cooperate. It was cold and rainy. Used the fire pit nightly and it was nice. Linens were clean, towels were soft and fluffy and smelled freshly laundered. Kitchen was spotless and well stocked with pot/pans and dishes. Having a dishwasher was nice too. Two grocery stores (Hannaford and Market Basket) were close by and plenty of restaurants too. We came with the intention of doing nothing and just changing scenery for the weekend. This place was perfect.

The place had everything that you needed for a comfortable stay.

This was our 2nd stay at the Red Cabin. We and our dog enjoyed our stay and love the peace, quiet, sunsets, and loons of Chalk Pond and the Selt trails nearby. We tried some new restaurants and recommend Ellacoya and The Breeze for dinner and Ames Farm Inn for breakfast. We highly recommend staying here. Both hosts are great!

We felt right at home and Rick allowed us to bring our dog and two cats, a bonus not easily found. The rental was cozy but big enough for the two of us and 3 fur babies. The shower was nice and hot, the Wi-Fi was excellent and we had a great Roku TV that we easily streamed our services without issue. The furniture was very big and comfortable with throws available for added warmth. The bedroom was perfect with plenty of space for our clothes, a nice bed and new fresh bedding. The absolutely only challenge was the narrow, curvy driveway! Luckily, we had a good back up camera and the street wasn’t very busy. This minor issue is not enough to deter us from returning for another stay!

Great location and cozy home with great ambiance, decor, and all of the necessities. The spiral staircase and upstairs rooms felt much smaller in person but no major issues! If you're bringing dog(s) that may have noise sensitivity like ours sometimes do - note that the walls to nextdoor Airbnb are quite thin. The dogs also had difficulty on the stairs - one learned to go up and down by training and the other one had to be carried up and down 😂 Hosts were great!

A Perfect Waterfront Escape – 5 Stars My wife and I had an unforgettable stay at RK North Waterfront Cottage. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by breathtaking views, fresh coastal air, and a sense of peaceful seclusion that made this trip truly special. The cottage itself was spotless, beautifully maintained, and tastefully decorated with cozy touches that made it feel like a true home away from home. We especially loved the spacious deck overlooking the water — perfect for morning coffee or evening wine while watching the sunset. The hosts were thoughtful and responsive, ensuring we had everything we needed without ever being intrusive. Whether it was relaxing by the fire pit, walking along the shore, or just enjoying the tranquility of the surroundings, every moment felt effortless and restorative. If you’re looking for a quiet getaway with charm, comfort, and stunning waterfront views, this is the place. We’re already planning our next visit. — Eric & Juliet DiNoto

When we arrived at this small, lovely marina where the property is located, my first thought was: magical!!!!! Inside, a little oasis, modern and well appointed. A huge, comfy sofa, large TV, great bed and thoughtful amenities. We did not need the AC, but I tried it and it got cool, quickly. Outdoors: paddleboards, kayaks and a grill overlooking the lake and the homes along the lake. Stunning. It’s a less than a minute walk to the restrooms, which are also modern and pristine, and part of the experience. I genuinely loved our stay here! It’s a very special, private place in the best of ways. Highly recommend,

Alex was very communicative from the start and gave easy to follow instructions. The place itself was exactly as advertised. The inside decor was great, everything was tidy and all the beds were very comfortable. The insides offered enough space for a few people to comfortable hang out without losing the appeal of a cozy get-away. Fire pit outside was great and the the little creek behind the house was really pretty and made for a good atmosphere. Absolutely wonderful stay and would definitely recommend.

Cheryl's home is cosy and quiet, and the photos don't quite do the place justice. It's an amazing spot since you can walk into town and access the trails to Pondicherry Park, and it's back off the road enough to feel private and quiet. We really enjoyed our stay, and especially the cupcakes that were there upon our arrival.

If you’re looking for a tranquil and relaxed getaway on the water, look no further. We extended our trip because it was so beyond perfect. There were kayaks available to enjoy a soothing ride on the lake and enjoy the views. Our four legged friend enjoyed jumping onto the small beach area and running around the yard getting his exercise.

We had the best weekend at this place! It’s a beautiful home (in our opinion the cutest on the entire lake) in an even more beautiful area. It was a bit overcast and rained one day but the lake was surprisingly warm and we still went swimming even on the cooler day. We also used the kayaks and SUP the host provided to spend more time on the water. There were lots of board games provided that we played often. The kitchen was well-stocked with spices, pans, and even small appliances, and the toiletries provided were nice. The best part of this place, however, is the French doors that open onto the balcony. We kept them open, with the screen closed to keep bugs out, almost the entire time we were in the house. Despite being a guest house on the same property as Janath and Beth’s home, the carriage house felt very private. This has been one of our most favorite places we’ve stayed. A beautiful home that is quiet and with lake views you can’t beat. I’d recommend to anyone! You’ll love it.

5 Stars – Amazing Stay! Had a fantastic stay at this Airbnb! The place was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The host was responsive and made check-in super easy. Great location with plenty to do nearby. Would definitely stay here again!

Dan and Jane have a beautiful home. They were extremely kind and I can’t thank them enough for allowing me and the kids to meet their horses. It is a wonderful property on a serene landscape. The pictures don’t do it justice. We will certainly be back.

We loved staying at King’s cottage! It was a beautiful home and so easily accessible. We would absolutely stay here again on our next trip to the lake!

Spent a peaceful fall weekend with my family at this beautiful lakefront cottage. We spent most of our time out on the dock or on the screened-in porch. Fully stocked kitchen and comfortable rooms made us feel at home. Rebecca was a fantastic host - easy to communicate with, organized and very welcoming. Thanks for a five star stay!

We love to stay here. Etoile is always very helpful and the place is clean. It is centrally located to where we want to be.

Probably one of the best places I've stayed at. Patrick makes you feel right at home from the moment you book the place. The cottage is right next to the lake and just a step away from Wiers beach, a great place to lay down and relax. Patrick even accomodated for local experiences, knowing I had travelled alone. Patrick and Gladys took me hiking and I even went out for drinks with Patrick. Honestly, if I could give the place 6 stars I would. Could not recommend it enough.

Would absolutely recommend. We were looking for a place to stay with our baby while visiting friends nearby and this place was as described and worked great for us. It’s like luxury camping and you get to enjoy the beautiful lake views!
