Waterfront on Opechee
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.

Waterfront Condo w/ Great Views
We had a great stay. Place was clean and very cozy. Quiet neighborhood with a beautiful lake view. The host was very responsive and professional. We will definitely be back, the kids LOVED the place and watching the beautiful ducks.

Ultimate Stay for a Family on Lake Winnipesaukee
We very much enjoyed our stay at Renee and Dan's villa. It was the perfect amount of space for our family of four. The villa was spacious, comfortable, and very clean. We truly enjoyed their gorgeous view of Lake Winnipesaukee, and the fireplace was a special addition to our fall weekend getaway. Renee was sure to check in to make sure we had arrived safely and everything was to our liking. We appreciated the sweet touches like the bottled water in the fridge and the s'mores kit upon arrival. We are very familiar with the area and usually stay in the inn near this villa but wanted to try something different this year. We had a lovely time. Thank you for sharing your beautiful property with us!

Luxury Studio Apartment
If we could give more stars to this Airbnb, we absolutely would! Illdiko has put so much thought and care into designing the space, and it truly shows. The check-in process was seamless, and the apartment was spotless. The bed was super soft and we had such a great sleep! The bathroom products were high quality, and although we only made microwaveable dinners, the kitchenette met all our needs. The backyard was beautiful, especially in the fall, with a peaceful creek and festive Halloween decorations. The chickens wandering around gave it a charming countryside feel. Do take caution when driving down the driveway, especially with a full-size SUV (she has mentioned this in the listing), but it wasn’t too difficult to manage. We’d love to return next time we’re in New Hampshire!

Harmony lane retreat
Very nice, peaceful place. Was a good weekend get away will definitely go back when I get the chance!!

Riverside Place
The place was spotless and Valorie was very communicative. The view of the river is beautiful and I appreciated the parking spot right in front of the apartment. The apartment is split level with the bedrooms downstairs (and a toilet and sink) and the main bath, kitchen and living area upstairs. It worked out great for me and 2 teenage kids.

Waterfront Winnisquam Studio
A perfect little space in a perfect location. We had all of the amenities that we needed and a beautiful view. We can’t wait to go back!

Paradise on the pond
This is the second year we stayed at Paradise on the Pond, a great spot to access both Pat's Peak and Crotched Mountain Ski resorts. Cynthia was very accommodating of some changes in our schedule due to my upcoming surgery and she provided an extra very comfy blow up bed for a 3rd guest. Thank you Cynthia! Hope to see you again next year!

Beautiful Lake Front Cabin on Little Squam Lake
This was the perfect stay for a group of friends for a few nights in the early summer. Weather permitting, the lake and dock were great to hangout on, and on colder days the fire pits provided a cozy atmosphere. There are tons of amenities which made cooking large meals easy and provided activities for all to enjoy. The hot tub was a wonderful surprise as well. Squam lake itself is very clear and great for swimming, paddle boarding, and kayaking. On the few occasions we left the lake, the country store down the road had everything we needed too. Don was very communicative with us and was a great host. I’d definitely recommend staying here for a family or small group of friends. I’d love to come back!

Lakefront HotTub, Fireplace, Shop, Ski, Hike, Swim
The place is clearly well taken care of with attention to detail. This would be a great place any time of year. Miriam and the home were very accommodating. I would return to this location with great peace of mind.

Skiing, snowmobiling, and skating! Weirs Beach
Rebecca was a super host who was proactive with instructions and quick to respond to my questions. The pictures and descriptions completely matched what was stated online. No bait and switch here. Looking forward to going up over the summer with my family.

Lakeside Lodge - a waterfront home on Lake Winona
We were two couples and enjoyed our stay at the lodge. It is well organized and located in a beautiful setup on the lake. A relatively short 30 minutes drive allowed us easy access to the white Mountains attractions. Vanessa was proactive on closing the open space above the bedroom doors just before we came - so this issue as reported in some other reviews has gone away… in short - highly recommended!

Dog, Boat Friendly Waterfront home- no Airbnb fees
This is an incredibly comfortable and remarkably well equipped lakefront house. Plenty of kitchen supplies and tools to keep the cooks happy, and all of the water gear anyone could ask for. We especially appreciated the large porch overlooking the lake. Close to the busy road (as was described in the listing), but blocked off and made visually private by fencing. Owners incredible, responding almost instantly, warmly, and generously.

Modern 4 bedroom, 3 bath Lakefront home near town
Rose and Mike’s Lake house was the perfect place for our large family gathering…The setting is absolutely gorgeous. Linens are provided for an additional fee, the bedrooms were spacious and comfortable and the kitchen was modern and well equipped. We loved downtown Meredith, only a 5 minute drive away , or a beautiful scenic walk. We had a wonderful time!

Peaceful 4 bedroom lakehouse retreat
We had a fantastic time staying at Justin’s home!

Lake Winnipesaukee House with Slip, Kayaks, Views!
Karen’s home is perfect and so comfortable for a family getaway. We had the most peaceful time in the most beautiful home and setting. Karen is a wonderful host. Thank you for sharing your amazing home.

Sunset Bay Condominium
After a long day of driving from New York, and hikes at Franconia Notch State park, Julianne’s condo was a perfect getaway to stay in Laconia with backyard lake views to die for. The condo was clean and cozy. The highlight of the stay was watching the sunset from the balcony and admiring the stars at the private sandy beach. The host was very responsive. Thank you for the clear and precise instructions beforehand, everything was simple and straightforward. I would 100% recommend this place! :)

1 Bedroom +loft, Lake Winnipesaukee Condo
We had a fantastic vacation at Lake Winnipesaukee! The lake was stunning, and the surrounding area offered so many activities to enjoy. The accommodations were comfortable, and we loved the peaceful atmosphere. Despite a few rainy days, we made the most of our time and can’t wait to return. Highly recommend for a relaxing getaway!

Sleepers Suite on the water - walk to Weirs!
My wife and I really enjoyed the property.

On the Lake! King Studio Private Porch Lakeview
We were just up for the night and needed a place to sleep. Started looking at 7:30 pm. Host was able to respond and book a 1 night stay quickly and followed up with great info and instructions. Place was clean, spacious and had everything we needed. Bed was comfortable with all fresh linens and towels. Check in and out was painless. Thanks for having us.

Lakeview 2 QN Hot tub Pool Concerts Gunstock ski
Exactly the place we needed to enjoy some sunshine and relax after a concert at the bankofNH pavilion

Lakeview Condo in Laconia
Nice roomy comfortable space for two moms and three adult children. The condo was clean and beautifully decorated. Good location for getting to Bank of NH for a concert. Within driving distance to restaurants, grocery stores and Weirs beach. We didn't know how to adjust a digital thermometer. I had to message Ryan late at night. He got back to me right away and was super helpful. We had a memorable and pleasant time enjoying the lakes region of NH. Thank you, Ryan!

Lake Winnipesaukee Year Round Getaway
perfect spot for the show we were seeing at the NH bank pavilion. super clean and comfortable, looking forward to staying again!

2 Brm/2 bath, Lake Views, Pool w/grills, concerts
The condo units were perfect. The kitchen was fully stocked, the unit was clean, the location was ideal for a concert at Bank of NH pavilion.
