Lovely cabin just off the lake

The property has a perfect location within walking distance to the nearby lake. A perfect place for some birding! There is minimal road noise. A grocery store is just down the road. The cabin has good amenities and plenty of hot water.

Walked in and walked out 2 his later. Portable ac was unable to perform in 95 degree weather.

Pictures were nice but actual place wasn't a nice as the pictures. Garbage was strewn in the front yard when we arrived. Fireplace smelled of previous fire. We did not stay and have asked for a refund.

Perfect winter family getaway

A group of nine of us went up for a winter family weekend away. The cottage was perfectly cozy and had everything we needed. The wood stove was excellent and definitely appreciated by us all during our snowy weekend. The kitchen and dining area was great for a large group to enjoy meals family-style. Overall, we all really enjoyed our stay. I’m sure it’s even better in the summertime!

Cozy

Great little house. The property was clean except for the cookware and there were nice little touches provided within the home that really added a fun twist to our stay like the Christmas Tree, firewood, travel size shower supplies, and lots of board games. I'd love to stay again!

Convenient location for our out of state visitors, only 2 1/2 miles from our home.

This worked out well for us. The game room towards the back was a great place for the kids to spend time. The kids loved the hammocks and the foos ball table. Use of the yard would have been nice but at the time of our stay…still snow covered. Will keep this place in mind for future out of state visitors.

No Ossipee Beach Access

10 minute walk to beach that is private. I called property management to find out where we were allowed to access beach. I was told my inquiry would be escalated to upper management. Hours later someone from Oregon called back, he was looking into it. I finally called owner who said no beach access and no public beach in walking distance; the owner was pleasant. Closest public beach was at Silver Lake. No dishwasher so you would think there would be a basin to fill in the sink but no. Plates in cabinet had specs of dried food. Use paper products. A/C was in tough shape. Window screens missing or ripped, bugs get in. Yard was a mess, old dirty furniture. Beds comfortable and clean sheets but blankets and and bed covers not fresh. 2nd floor bedrooms hot, need to leave doors open to share one small Window A/C., and bathroom smelled of vomit. Things in basement piled up in front of washer, dryer- not accessible. Good place for family or bachelor party.

Wonderful Winter Getaway

We had wonderful stay over Christmas. We wanted a quiet winter get away and this place was perfect. Cozy and Comfy with lots of room for a group. The game room was a nice touch but we enjoyed our time in front of a wonderful fire in the family room. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to cook a small Christmas dinner. The beds were comfy and the home was spotless. I would definitely recommend this listing if your looking a winter get away.
