Paradise in NH

We were initially apprehensive about renting not directly on the water and with other folks renting cabins as well. However, we are ecstatic that we did! Dave and MB's cabins are clean and they are such hospitable hosts. Our family got along swimmingly with the other folks in the cabins, even becoming pen pals! We have stayed at other properties on GEL and hands down, this one served our needs and we will be back! They have thought of everything you may need for an extremely well stocked kitchen, grills and firepits, wifi, to land toys and water toys as well! Our son loved trying to catch fish with the nets! It truly was a great place to relax and unwind. Great East Lake and Dave and MB are truly gems. The Metz Family

Great place

Our stay was fantastic. We were warmly welcomed when we arrived and the cabin was exactly as shown on the website. The Barr's were awesome. Mini and Biker were the stars of the week providing hours of laughter and entertainment. I would recommend this location to anyone looking for ultimate relaxation and a stellar lake experience. Thanks to Dave and MB

Wonderful cottage on the lake

The cottage itself was lovely - clean and well-appointed with a slightly rustic feel. The hosts have created a relaxed atmosphere with easy to access kayaks, paddle boards and other swim and boat gear and toys. There are shared spaces on the lake And just enough other residents to feel a little social but never crowded or noisy. And the friendly and enthusiastic dogs add to the warm atmosphere. I’ll be back!

Must love dogs!

We had an amazing time staying here. The lake is beautiful and the setting as well. The cottage was comfortable and well outfitted. The kids had such an amazing time playing with all the provided water toys, floats and boats. The owner and his wife are helpful and friendly. They have two dogs that are also VERY friendly, so watch out with little ones at the lake, the younger dog is quite exuberant. Not only was our stay a great time, but when I had issues with VRBO taking forever to release my deposit, the owner Dave got on the phone and sorted it out for me. So very grateful for the wonderful Father's Day weekend we spent here!

About the host

MB & I live in Newburyport, MA with our Golden Retrievers, Mini and Biker. We enjoy entertaining, traveling and spending time with friends and family.

Why they chose this property

It's hard to describe .... that feeling when you know something is just right. Sounds crazy that we bought lake property in February but it felt so good and has been even better than we dreamed.

What makes this property unique

The Lodge was built in 1889 and the Cottages were added in the early 1950's so there is yesterday's rustic charm and today's conveniences. The sunsets, clear water, stars above the fire pit and the loons make us all warm & fuzzy.
