This Lakeside Retreat was a perfect weekend escape for two couples. In late September, we seemed to have the pond to ourselves and enjoyed sharing time around the firepit overlooking the lake. The Bathroom was spacious and one level up from the bedrooms downstairs. The kitchen had everything needed to prepare an excellent meal. I would highly recommend this cabin to a a small group of friends or family looking for a great location near Portland and Lake area attractions.Our host Bobbi was very responsive.

LUX Designer Private Waterfront

AndrewRating, 5 stars1 week ago

This place was a small slice of peaceful serenity, exactly as described and pictured. It was immaculately kept, feeling brand new. The kitchen had a pleasant "pay it forward" vibe with items left by previous guests, which made it easy to contribute for future visitors. Although the house got cold on a snowy day (as others noted), one of the provided space heaters quickly warmed it to a comfortable temperature. I would definitely return for another peaceful weekend, and I imagine it would be even more amazing in the fall or summer.

We absolutely loved our stay! From the moment we walked in we felt at home. The house was super clean, comfy, and aesthetically pleasing. There is a beautiful view of the Piscataqua River from most rooms. The house is centrally located between Portsmouth and Kittery. We visited Hampton Beach, NH on one day, and York/Wells, ME the next! Skye was a great host! We loved our stay! We will be back!

Hillary's place was a wonderful place to stay for a cozy weekend getaway. It felt very homey with personal touches. We were here during a little snowstorm so we didn't spend any time outside but the yard and private deck were really nice. We had some troubles with the hot water but Hillary was very responsive and helpful! We would definitely stay here again.

Locke Lake Waterfront Escape

AmandaRating, 5 stars4 months ago

Me and my family had an awesome stay. The house was great with lots of space and places to sleep. We were 8 ppl and there was more than enough room. Garage/game room was awesome I just wish it was insulated with some heat we had to wear our coats to be comfortable, of course the weather was 26F so it was expected. The rest of the house was warm and cozy. I would love to rent this same house in the summer it must be amazing with the view of the lake. One more thing is although there are 2 bathrooms its more like 1 because the second bathroom upstairs has a little door that leads to the room with the 4 beds so the other people not staying in that room didn’t use that bathroom to not get walked in on unexpectedly. Overall I still gave this place 5 stars and it’s one of the best places I’ve stayed and the host is very responsive and accommodating.

CrewRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Martha’s place was AMAZING. It exceeded expectations and Martha was very helpful even from before we made reservations. This was a mother daughter weekend and the space and layout of the house was ideal. There was space for the children to have fun while the adults were catching up. Even though the snow kept us inside, there were so many games and puzzles to keep us all laughing and having fun. The location is conveniently walkable to the town. Everyone in our group of 8 (4 pre-teens and 4 adults) loved the trip and want to do it again! Thanks, Martha!

Beautiful views overlooking river and waterways, with all essential amenities on main level. Home has full set of utensils and pots/pans for cooking in modern and newly renovated kitchen. Beds and mattresses were comfortable. Responsive host. Highly recommend for a family vacation, especially if in the summer when weather is warmer.

We really enjoyed our stay there. Will definitely stay again at a different time of year to enjoy the lake as well!

Waterfront House with Pier

4.89 out of 5 average rating, 18 reviews6 months ago

Awesome place! If you've always wanted to stay in a 5-star AirBnB, this is it. Spotlessly clean, great surroundings, private and very welcoming. Everything was perfect, in great condition and exactly like the listing. We don't give out 5-star ratings very often so you can bet this one is genuine. Very highly recommended.

4.75 out of 5 average rating, 8 reviews7 months ago

This was a great get away. Right on the lake with the convenience of using their kayaks, row boat, and peddleboat. Also had an array of life jackets for everyone to be safe. Scenery is beautiful, location is peaceful! We read, kayaked, played pinpong in their basement, sat around the firepit and listened to nature! The house is exactly how you see it in the pics, plus better! The home is spotless and has everything you need! Host Heidi is very responsive! They even have many board games and puzzles to play. I would highly recommend this property and plan to rent again. Thank you Heidi for sharing your home and for a lovely weekend. Jamie Hale

Remodeled Waterfront Home - Private Dock/AC/Kayaks

5 out of 5 average rating, 12 reviews1 week ago

The house is beautiful and comfortable. The kitchen is fully stocked with anything you'd need, and the laundry works very well. I thought the beds were also quite comfortable. My favorite part of the house was the porch overlooking the water, which was very peaceful, and the very easy to use fireplace that added a lot of warmth and coziness.

4.88 out of 5 average rating, 85 reviews5 days ago

My boyfriend and I needed a peaceful getaway from city life. Matthew and Christina’s listing was a perfect place for us to bring our dog and relax. Our dog had never seen a body of water before, so it was very special to see him look out into the horizon at the beautiful lake and mountains. Our visit was short and sweet, but we made lots of memories and had fun exploring the area. Definitely would come back again for another cozy vacation.

Stunning Views and More on Lake Winnipesaukee

4.98 out of 5 average rating, 66 reviews6 months ago

My friends and I loved our stay here! The house is absolutely beautiful and the views are unbelievable. We actually ended up changing our Saturday plans just to be able to spend more time hanging out at the house, enjoying the beautiful deck and views. We loved making s'mores by the outdoor fireplace. The house is cozy, the kitchen is modern, beautiful, and well-stocked, everything was clean, and the beds were plentiful and comfy. Suzette was responsive and check-in/check-out is easy. Parking IS tight, and the road is a little narrow, so maybe leave the Escalade at home and bring your smaller car. ;) The house is close to restaurants (we highly recommend music bingo at Patrick's Pub on Friday nights) and there are a lot of stores in the area in case you forget anything at home. :) Meredith is only a short drive away and has cute little shops, a winery, and a sculpture walk. We're already talking about wanting to go back!

Tom and Carol were wonderful hosts! The place couldn’t have been more perfect and they were so helpful and friendly! I rarely return to an Air BnB but will most definitely be returning to this place! I gave everything 5 stars but would have given more if we could! Can’t wait for a return trip! Thank you Tom and Carol!

Private Waterfront home

4.95 out of 5 average rating, 19 reviews6 months ago

Parents - do not hesitate to book! This cabin was the perfect place for my family of 4 to stay. The front room with the bookshelf full of toys is where we spent the majority of our time. I enjoyed drinking coffee and taking in the view from the GIANT WINDOW SEAT (seriously perfection). I have a 10-month old and an almost 3-year old and this was seriously the perfect rental. The host offered a pack & play and a high-chair seat that worked perfectly for the baby. The toddler was entertained by all the new things to play with. The front deck is the perfect spot to get some beautiful family photos. We will be booking again if we are in the area.

This was a great spot to relax and recharge for a couple days. Prior to my visit, I stocked up on groceries and did not leave until checkout. It was peaceful to just sit on the deck in the warm weather and watch the ice begin to melt on the river. I would definitely return, even in the winter/early spring as it is a great place to enjoy some quiet and a good view.

Winnipesaukee Lakefront Luxury unit #5 w Hot tub

5 out of 5 average rating, 29 reviews2 months ago

We had a very nice stay at Manny's unit number 5. It was convenient to ski areas and even though we were snowed in for one day, we had a cozy day inside and were able to cook with the groceries we picked up the night before. We enjoyed using the hot tub -- it was beautiful to enjoy while snowflakes fell around us and the view across the lake is lovely. This unit requires you to go outside to access the downstairs area, but this worked well for our family with 2 teens. It looks like it would be a lovely place to also stay in the summer to enjoy the lake.

KerryRating, 5 stars6 months ago

Comfortable stay in a beautiful location. Heidi's was exactly what we expected and good value. The views in pretty much every direction from her home are just stunning this fall and we loved stepping outside each morning by quiet Opechee Lake. Our Labrador had a great time too with lots of space to run around.

Designer beach-front apartment

AngelaRating, 5 stars5 months ago

We loved the location in Hampton Beach! We came off-season for a few days of much needed relaxation. The balcony facing the ocean provided beautiful, serene and peaceful views. Although on the 2nd floor, the stairs are easy to manuever and lead right to the beach. It is literally steps away and we were able to walk down a few times a day. The condo was the perfect size for my husband, me and our small dog. Furnishings were comfortable and decor was trendy and modern.The host was always generous and responsive with any questions. The area was quiet, private and safe. I would recommend this location to others. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Private Lake House with Docks & Views for Days

Fantastic spot. We stayed in the fall. It was quiet on the lake. We enjoyed SUPing and Kayaking. Was happy to find “one earth” natural grocer up the road a bit. We enjoyed a fire in the wood stove every night. The Loons were a special treat too. It is steep and lots of stairs to the water but worth the climb. :) Lea was so accommodating and responded immediately to every inquiry. Hoping to book again next fall!

Really enjoyed our stay here. The condo was clean and the electronic fireplace made us felt at home and comfortable. I especially loved the small touches with the books and games tucked away above the tv waiting to be found. Also we got a nice surprise on NYE with some fireworks on the beach. The hardest thing to figure out was where the trash room was but José sent a picture which helped a lot.
