Helen was so communicative, was there with help and answers and her home fit our family perfectly. The experience was amazing from booking to staying.

My family consisted of my wife and I, and our two puppies (3+ years old). My wife and I loved the location and our pups loved the pond. They loved everything about the place, which brought great happiness to my wife and I. I would recommend for all types of families.

We loved it, would recommend

Great location, very clean, and great space for enjoying the lake! Helen was easy to work with.

The location and pond are wonderful! The house is a bit rundown but fine. It’s not really conducive to more than 2 adults. The lack of screens on all the sliders but one (which is almost broken) was a disappointment. The side yard and under deck were cluttered with previous tenants floats, etc. so it was a bit trashy. The dock and canoe get very hot in the sun so beware. The floating dock wasn’t in the water and the steps down to the dock are very precarious. We brought my 83 year old Mom who is pretty spry but she had to be assisted in navigating the tilted slabs that lead down to the water. The dump is an option for garbage and there should just be details about how far and where it is. It’s easy enough to just drop it off before you go home. There is no ac in the bedroom so if it’s hot sleep with the door open to the living room. It was relaxing but certainly more of a glamping experience.

Extremely clean, all accommodations included, plenty of room for big family, gorgeous views of pond. Easy to find

I did not find out until after confirming booking that I had to handle my own garbage. The days that the town dump was open did not overlap with my stay, so I had to take my garbage with me. This was on my mind the whole time and did spoil the stay somewhat. Everything else about the property was as tranquil as described, and the setting was most private.

My husband, 17 year old daughter, two dogs, and I had a wonderful week at Helen's special cottage this week! Danforth Ponds ranks as our #1 lake for swimming in our many years of lake rentals. We loved paddling our kayaks and Helen's canoe and the sunsets were spectacular. Only held back on the 5th star because my hubby and I found the master bed saggy and uncomfortable, so ended up sleeping on the couches and a noisy neighbor arrived our last two days. But, other than that, a fantastic stay with loads of great swimming in the warm sandy-bottom gorgeous lake, fun watching movies on the big screen, games and meals around the table, reading and yoga on the fabulous porch, munching s'mores around the fire and refreshing showers in the nice bathroom. Would recommend Foss Mountain hike for glorious views of the White Mountains. Thank you for a great time!!

We had an amazing time and absolutely loved the property!

Great spot. Awesome pond. Lots of fishing off the dock and got to explore some cool spots along the connecting waterways. I didn’t realize that the sleeping area for the kids would be on a different lower level that also acted as the main entrance to the house. The owners were very quick to respond to questions. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Enjoyed the sunsets on the back deck!

I thought it was beautiful. There was some confusion with who was cleaning the place but it was quickly sorted out! Will visit again.

Overall we enjoyed most aspects of the house for our stay. The pros- house is in a great location, open floor plan and comfortable bed. The owner is very accommodating and responds quickly to messages. The cons- 2nd bedroom had a foul smell (the beds also smelled unbearable) that was being masked by a car air freshener so we were unable to use the room. Luckily we had an air mattress and put our daughter in the hallway, also the whole house had a strong odor and the couches weren’t clean and there was dog hair in the hallway. My suggestion would be to hire a different house cleaner. Otherwise it is a nice property.

My wife and I had a fantastic stay. The house was nestled nicely on a beautiful chain of ponds. Great for paddling, exploring, fishing, and a day out on the water.

We enjoyed our one week stay at the house on Danforth Bay. The deck was very comfortable, providing both sun and shade throughout the day and gave us nice sunset skies in the evening. The dock for swimming and the use of the canoe made exploring the bay quite easy. A flat area near the water let us store our kayaks. The main living space in the house was quite comfortable with a nicely equipped kitchen, a large table for dining and comfortable seating in the living area. Forced hot air heat gave us a quick warm boost on the chilly mornings. We liked the privacy between the camps and the neighborhood roads for morning walks. The owner was easily accessible through phone or email.

I took My girlfriend and our daughter here for our first vacation and it was one that won't soon be forgotten! When we pulled into the quiet little neighborhood surrounded by water and beautiful trees we knew we were in for a good time. Helen was very attentive and had an extremely fast response time to answer all of our questions and to accommodate us in every way possible. This place is perfect to spend your vacation just on the residence or any of the 30+ lakes that you're smack in the middle of! With a dock to fish off of every morning and night or to paddle out in the kayak and just enjoy the fresh air this is perfect. The house has everything you need to live like it's your own including all cooking equipment and a large bluetooth speaker to enjoy music all around the property that won't be hear by neighbors due to them being so far away. Lake Winni is about a 15min drive, I highly recommend seeing echo lake and the lake inside mount washington state park. (Fisherman) The largest Crappies I ever have seen bite right at the dock around 8:15pm! We will definitely be returning here!

We rented this house because it was my husbands birthday. My son his wife and infant joined us. It was very clean and had everything you need. The only thing it did not have is a TV so we brought our own and watched DVD's. The house over looks the lake and has a nice deck. I'm sure it must be really nice in the summer. The place was very warm and inviting. I would recommend this place. We had a really nice time and enjoyed the lake views.

I had a great experience at Helen's lake house. The place is very modern and well decorated. The house per se was very easy to find and yet, also removed from main roads and other vacationing spots. It was literally a get-away! There is AC in the house which is not very common and it was great to have during the really hot days I spent there. The lake is beautiful and just a few steps away from the house. The dogs had a blast running around the yard and back and forth from the lake. Helen was very attentive and would answer my questions right away. I would definitely go back again.
