Northwood Vacation Rental cottage

With Winter approaching all too soon, I've been reflecting on what a great time I had when I stayed here in June '09. For a little over a week my husband & I rented a cottage & my parents rented one as well. We are still remarking about what a wonderful, relaxing time we had & plan to reserve for the same time next year. Nancy & Lee are the new owners of this property & have done so many improvements & provide a great experience. (Cottages had been grossly neglected for many years prior to their recent purchase) Upon arrival, whatever may not have been completely up to par, we pointed out with immediate remedy to follow. (ie, newly installed waterheater had not been switched on, needed a broom). All the basics were provided ie, clean linens, A/C, sm. flat screen TV/DVD combo, DVD's, toiletries, dish soap, sponge, sm.microwave, stovetop, sm. refrigerator, toaster, coffemaker, mugs, plates, cutlery. This family made us feel so welcome & bent over backward to accomodate us, so rare these days. However, as another poster pointed out, if you are looking for luxurious accomodations, please, look elsewhere. But, if you are seeking simplicity & pure relaxation, in a somewhat rustic, cute little cottage, in a small encampment at lakeside, this is it. You'd be hard-pressed to find better accomodations in the area for the very affordable rates. And, if you enjoy fishing, early one morning my step dad caught a 5+ lb lg mouth bass right on shore!
Ahhh, visions of waking early to the gentle sounds of Loons with a cup of hot java in hand, watching Swallows swooping down over the lake while planning my day along with the choices of canoeing (graciously provided), fishing, swimming, lounging lakeside, a bonfire at night, S'mores (not provided) & my own little screened porch directly over the water where I can read, craft, play a game, casually entertain another couple or do absolutely nothing at all ... I can't wait to return next June!!!
Many thanks to Nancy, Lee & Adam & we look forward to staying with you again in 2010!

What a fun place!! This was my 1st time in the NH area and I had a really good time. The cabin was great, it was a homey place and had everything we needed. but keep in mind that is exactly what it is... a cabin. If your looking for luxury this is not the place for you. We had a wonderful time, it was so nice to sit out on the little front porch and look out a the ducks every morning. The cabins are so colorful, we stayed in the orange one. Being from Gainesville, FL, that suited me just fine, GO GATORS!! :)
The owners we such nice people. They strive to make your stay as pleastant as possible. I will definatley go back!!

We were looking for a nice place to get away and enjoy some downtime.We were pleasantly surprised to have been so welcomed and treated like family. Lee and Nancy were great hosts and the other people at the site were like old friends.We will remember this vacation and would most certainly go back again! Thanks Lee, Nancy and the family for making our vacation a wonderful memory!
