Newfound Lake Vacation Rental cottage

My husband and I wanted to get away from the city, see fall colors and enjoy some peace and quiet, and this place offered that and so much more! We arrived at night (not recommended, the area can be difficult to navigate in the dark), and were tired after a long drive so just went to bed. The next morning we were so pleasantly surprised by the waterfalls right outside the window! We couldn't have asked for more from the cottage; the entire place was spotless and beautifully kept and the kitchen had everything we needed. It was pretty cold at night, and we enjoyed hanging out with a bonfire in the evening and then heading indoors and lighting up the wood stove to heat up the cottage. The fall colors were amazing, and we took a drive up to the White Mountains (less than an hour, and there are a lot of hiking trails for those who like to get out and do some walking), Shaker Village (30-45 mins), and many other towns in the area (Weirs Beach, 15 mins; Bristol, 5 mins) for shopping. While we saw a lot of nice places, staying somewhere quiet and not so crammed was a definite plus. We seemed to be lucky and have cell service, and Richard was really nice and helped us out with directions when we took a wrong turn getting to the cottage. We can't wait to come back next fall or during the summer!

My boyfriend and I stayed at the cabin 8/1 through 8/10. We were very impressed when we arrived at how neat and clean the cabin was. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you would need to cook, which we did quite often. The view from the living room overlooking the stream was beautiful. The sound of the constant running water was so relaxing and peaceful and of course sitting in the backyard with a fire at night was quite romantic. Unfortunately for us the weather did not permit us to enjoy Newfound Lake so instead we took day trips and explored other areas. Lake Winnipesaukee is fairly close by so families with young children might want to consider going there for a nice day trip. The grocery store, farmer's market, dining out and even video rentals for rainy days is only 5 miles or so away and very convenient. The owner Richard was a pleasure to deal with and very informative prior to our stay. We both loved the cabin and location and look forward to renting from Richard again next year.
