The upstairs was clean and comfortable, but the downstairs needed work before having people sleep in the bedroom downstairs.

The place had everything we needed all we had to do was bring food. I would go back again.

There were no kayaks or canoe to use. The fire pit was a ring with no chairs and no hose to put the fire out if needed. The public beach is a hill of pine needles with large rock bottom. No room for sunbathing or sitting. Basement was running a humidifier to get rid of the damp smell and there were open ceiling tiles so the kids wouldn’t sleep down there. Cameras outside and one inside going down the stairs which was never stated in the ad. Not something I want with kids walking around. The house itself is private but it was a hot weekend and there is no AC. The house has ceiling fans that helped but it was hot. Maybe in the winter is better heated?

We stayed here for a family ski trip to Sunday River. Nothing fancy, but this place meet our needs, was in budget, and was 15-20min from the mountain. Would stay again.

My mother and I have a week getaway every year. This place was definitely one of the best places we’ve rented! Clean, quiet, private, nice yard, everything needed in house, very spacious! The area is beautiful, the private dock, once we found it, was spacious and peaceful as well! More specificity on location of dock is my only recommendation. But when I contacted owner, he responded promptly.

THE LIVING SPACE WAS EXTREMELY COMFORTABLE & CLEAN. THE OWNER WAS VERY PLEASANT AND QUICK TO RESPOND TO QUESTIONS. THE POND ACCESS WAS A LITTLE FURTHER THAN WE EXPECTED, BUT IT WAS A VERY NICE SPOT AND THE WATER WAS CLEAN/CLEAR.. IT WAS A MUCH NEEDED & VERY RELAXING STAY :)

Stayed here for a 10-day getaway. If you want to be away from the city and be surrounded by nature, peace and quiet, then this is the place. All the privacy you want and although the private lake access is 3/4 of a mile away, and a bit difficult to find, it is absolutely worth it. During my stay, we had the entire lake to ourselves, was able to boat, swim, fish, with no interruptions at all. The deck area is large and very comfortable to be able to spread out. Communication with the owner was excellent, any question I had was answered within minutes. The property was clean, comfortable, spacious. Would love to return one day.

Great stay for ski trip
Clean and comfy, has all we need for our trip. 20 mins to Sunday river. Internet speed is good, wife worked from home most of the time. T-Mobile surprisingly has good signal. Only thing to complain is the noise from the furnace in basement, can be heard from the master bedroom.

Peaceful, beautiful, recharging
Wonderfully secluded property with great deck. Very clean. Comfortable furniture and extremely well equipped with washer dryer appliances. Gorgeous area Bethel, Newry, and the pond is uncrowded. Owner is a real pleasure to work communicate with and always gets back promptly. My wife and I thought this was our best Vrbo ever.

Nice house, good size open space.
Inspite of the weather we made the best of it. Nice privacy nice layout of the house. Large deck to sit on. Only issue is the " private lake access " misleading. Made it sound like you have your own private dock and that's not the case. And if they do need better directions to it.

Great time! Will be back
Really great house for a quick get away! The lake access was perfect, the grill was easy to use, and the property itself was great for my dog! We had 0 problems and the owners were incredibly communicative and helpful whenever a question arose!

Great Visit
The house was very clean and you could see a million stars at night! A little farther to the lake than we had thought but overall a perfect fit for our family of 4! Great area to hike and lots of cool things to see like Frenchman’s Hole and the waterfalls at Screw Auger Falls

A memorable weekend
We couldn't have wished for more! The home was clean, comfortable, and loaded with anything you may need. The privacy was perfect, the lake was incredible and not over crowded one bit. The private dock, lake access, topped it off and made it worth every dollar spent.
I'd definitely return, probably for a week next time. I would highly recommend to anyone who needs a bit of peace and tranquility in their life.
Thank you Don for the easy check-in and prompt responses via text.

Nice spot near the lake. Not ON the lake as a dock photo might lead to believe. Nice place still.
The owners were communicative, kitchen was well appointed, the washer dryer worked, WiFi was fast, and it was clean. On a work trip that’s about all I need. Howard pond is very nice, short drive to public access to the lake, maybe 10 minute walk max. Up the hill from lake.

Great winter rental. We really enjoyed it for our family of five.
Beautiful property just off the lake. We brought our cross country skis to enjoy around the lake when not skiing at Sunday River. The home has all the essentials for a comfortable stay.

we loved this corner of the world! cozy & sweet lake house with the most NARNIA like surroundings! The drive in is pristine with beautiful views of Howard Pond throughout.

Nice home in a quiet spot
Overall we had a great time here. The house was very clean and they had everything we needed already at the house. The neighbors are very friendly as you walk around the lake, and Sam the lakes dog is fun to play with.

Lovely home but not cleaned, convenient location to skiing
We booked this listing for our Feb ski vacation. The location is beautiful. The home itself is comfortable, spacious, tastefully decorated and the kitchen is fully )stocked with everything you need for cooking a few simple meals.
However, we were charged a cleaning fee at the time of booking. Upon arrival, it did not look like the place had been vacuumed. There was dust and pet hair on the carpet. The bathroom vanity and mirror had not been wiped down. We found the vacuum cleaner but the dust cup was completely full and did not have any suction. We emptied it out and vacuumed both upstairs and down. It was not the first thing we wanted to do after a 5 hour drive.
We contacted the owner, Don. He said that it should have been cleaned and he would look into it. We asked for a refund of the cleaning fee. On the day of checkout, we contacted him again and he said he would refund us twenty percent of our original cleaning fee for the inconvenience. As of 3/17/17, we have not received this refund.
Overall, the property is beautiful and we enjoyed our stay but it could have been cleaned before we arrived as that is what we paid for.

Wonderful New Years vacation
Thank you for making you home our home for New Years week. We had wonderful time and wonderful experience. You place was beautiful and very comfortable. The house was clean and nicely kept. It looked exactly like the pictures.We had everything we could need. It was very cozy and we all felt at home. The living room is the perfect place to hang out and is close to the kitchen so that the cooks can be part of what is going on. The family room downstairs was a perfect spot for kids to hang out and play. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your home. I would recommend this place to all.

Great weekend
This was a great place to stay for a long weekend in New England. Our only major goal for the trip was to find a pet-friendly rental near water. This house was exactly as pictured -- spacious, clean, and provided everything we needed in terms of kitchen supplies, linens, etc. The owners were easy to reach and got right back to me when I called on the 4th of July. The public access beach area is a short and easy walk from the house (maybe 1/2 mile?) along the paved road. Everyone in the area is incredibly friendly. There's a grocery store a short drive away. We had planned to venture out and explore the White Mountains area in New Hampshire, but to be honest, we were so comfortable in the Howard Pond area and at this rental house, we just stayed near the water and relaxed all weekend!
