House is comfortable, furnished well. Very nice firepit outside. We came up to ride motorcycles in this beautiful area, but there are a lot of other activities to do around here. We will definitely come back.

Exactly as advertised. Great location! Quintessential New Hampshire lodge. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We would definitely rent again

We wanted to be close to Gunstock Mountain. We only slept at the house because we were off sight seeing and visiting family. It was clean and the beds were comfortable.
5.0
This home worked out well for us, as we were trying out a new area for skiing and it was very close to Gunstock mountain. The hosts provided good information on where to go for amenities, restaurants and what to do in the area. The house was cozy, perfect for our family and dog to stay together!
5.0
We enjoyed our stay. Lovely home and property. The only discrepancy I noticed from the listing is the central AC doesn't extend to the upstair bedrooms. Luckily we brought extra layers and slept extremely well.
Overall the visit was delightful.

My husband and I loved our stay here. Attended the Bronco-Off Roadeo which was only 5mins from this cabin!! Perfect private get away.

Good points: very clean, great private back yard to woods, set up well with extras for guests.
Difficult points: mostly front of house, rotten front door porch boards, need railing for steps, MOSTLY need marker for where driveway ends as we almost drove off hill embankment.

My husband and I stayed at this location in August with our 18m old. No issue with the home generally as we anticipated it being a bit rustic. However parts of our stay left us underwhelmed and bit frustrated. There were no bathroom linens and after contacting the management company I was directed to the homeowner who noted the cleaners forgot to return them, no solution was offered besides using a few beach towels we could locate. No hand or face towels were there, no bath mat and no toiletries were made available, notibly soap/body wash. The bathroom sink drain was stuck in the closed position and unable to drain. These were the most frustrating of the issues but there were additional things I otherwise would have overlooked but for the totality. The entrance to the home from the driveway was a very steep hill, difficult to navigate with luggage, sandals, a child etc. There was one coffee filter in the pantry, no paper towels or napkins to speak of, the hammock was dirty to an unusable state. Finally, the Roku TV didn't work leading us to assume batteries needed replacing in the remote which we didn't come prepared with. In all, staying here required a trip to Walmart for some necessities that were unexpected especially for the cost of the rental.
a rustic cabin would be fine despite the description not mentioning it being rustic and also promising linens, toiletries and some other basics we did not enjoy.
Overall needed much more upkeep from owners for the cost!!

The cabin was extremely clean, but the parking was rough. That’s the only thing negative about it. If you have more than one car the parking will be tough and it’s on a curve.
Visiting family and enjoyed our stay. Fireplace was nice.

We stayed over Thanksgiving so we were cooking quite a bit and the kitchens was well appointed. Great to have washer/dryer access and nice tv setup let us keep up with the World Cup! Happy to find a place that’s dog-friendly. Not the easiest place to walk a dog but if you have one that can be off leash or likes to be on a lead outside there’s a great yard for that. Wood burning stove kept things nice and warm.

Great place! Very clean! Tons of sleeping space! Great location!

The place great for my friends weekend. Well kept and in great shape with all the amenities of the lake a short drive away. Sean was also a great communicator and made the whole process and stay very easy. Definitely would recommend.

Wonderful!
Our stay here was perfect! The house was clean, the beds were comfortable, they had everything that we needed during our stay. The kitchen was well stocked and they provided sheets and towels which was a huge plus. I had a few questions and the owners responded immediately. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our short stay here and would definitely recommend it!

Little get away
We had a nice time at this property although the bathroom is very small the house was clean and plenty of space for our family. We skied 3 days and ate at the Ellacoya Barn which was yummy!!

Open floor plan was nice. One bath and parking for one car.
Close to Gunstock. Quiet location and nice “cabin in NH” feel. Kids enjoyed cable and Wi-Fi and the large shared bedroom, open floor plan nice sofa.

Beautiful Mountain Escape
We had such a relaxing and amazing weekend. Location was perfect house is beautifully decorated and no detail was overlooked. Sean was a very responsive owner, our only issue was parking and when contacted he was very proactive and helpful. One of our kids came to stay for the day we had to widen the driveway to fit another vehicle.
5.0
very nice house, great location
We stayed there for MLK weekend with our 3 children and our dog, and the house has everything we could ask for. It is beautiful, very cosy, perfectly clean and neat. The kitchen/ living room is warm and perfect for movie nights / game nights. The bedrooms have comfy beds with tons of blankets.
The location is just perfect, nestled in the wood, 5mins from Gunstock mountain.
we definitely recommend this place

Cute but not accessible - ZERO parking for more than 1 car
The description references "driveway parking for 3 cars"....this is far from the truth. There is a very small parking pad sitting directly on the road, barely big enough for a single car. You then have to climb down three very steep steps (without hand rails) to get to the front yard. After crossing a very bumpy front yard (with heavy suitcases in tow), you then must climb five steps onto the front porch. This was a HUGE issue for my 90 year old father who was forced to decline our dinner invitations because he could not access the home. Additionally this is a very dangerous situation when arriving in the dark, with little to no light to to see the three steep steps.
Although Sean (the owner) was very accessible, friendly, and timely with our requests, Evolve was not easy to deal with. They took several days to respond to inquiries and there is no one available to answer your calls.
The home is cute, very clean, and well equipped but the accessibility was a HUGE issue for my family. If the description had been correct online, I would not have rented this home.

Excellent place to enjoy New Hampshire in the Fall!
We had a great time at Sean's place. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to get away. House is beautifully appointed. Kitchen is well stocked. Note that there is no central heat, so you will be using the wood-burning fireplace, which add charm and fun to the stay.

Cute and Cozy
We had a great stay at Lily's Lodge. Candidly, the property on the outside is a bit run down looking and definitely needs a little love and updating. The inside however, is well kept, clean, and comfortable. The location is great and we really enjoyed the private beach access that comes with renting. All in all, we had a great weekend and were comfortable! Communicating with the local contact was incredibly fast and friendly.

Nice accommodations 4 minutes from gunstock!
Our family enjoyed the perfect accommodations for the size of our party. It was a quick 4 minute drive to gunstock mountain and 15 minutes to Laconia.

Perfect Snowy family Getaway
We had a wonderful time here! The property was perfect for our little getaway. A short drive to gunstock - and a little hill in the backyard. We were lucky with snow and spent time sledding in the back and warmed up by the fire when we weren’t at the mountain. Thanks for a great time!

Perfect quiet getaway
We loved staying in “Lily’s Cottage”! The property is tucked into the woods and is so peaceful. We loved sitting out back on the deck just relaxing and taking in the natural surroundings. The cottage itself is really cute. The beds are very comfortable and the home in general is clean and nicely decorated. The kitchen looked brand new and had everything we needed to make meals at home. The private beach was just a short drive away and Weirs Beach, Ellacoya State Park and some restaurants were only 5-10 min away. It was truly a fun and relaxing vacation- just what we wanted.

Gilford
Nice house overall but wish it had more than one bathroom and outside deck could use some fixing up as well. Outside garbage cans also needed to be emptied. Almost full before we got there.

Great getaway
We stayed for a weekend in October. It was absolutely beautiful there! The house was so clean relaxing. We loved sitting by the fire at night and going down to the beach during the day. We can’t wait to enjoy another weekend there.
