Feels Like Home

Our third winter family gathering in this charming eighteenth century farmhouse didn’t disappoint. Outside we went sledding down the backyard hill, skated on the pond, hiked Gove Mountain across the street, and walked along skimobile trails to trek across Crescent Lake. A ski trip to Mount Sunapee was just a half hour away. The owners are very accommodating and easy to communicate with. Lisa, the local caretaker, is friendly and ready to help out any way she can. We hope to return,

Acworth

The house was great. It was clean and we enjoyed the stay. I have two issues. The ramp was not on the front as I was told and was pictured. My son had to carry my 18 year old grandson in and out of the house. The ramp was the main reason we chose the home. I would have reached out to the property manager but I sent her two text messages before we arrived and didn't receive a response. So I thought reaching out would be pointless. That's why I gave the lower rating.

Wonderful as usual

Our group has been staying here, spring and fall, for several years, and it really feels like home each time we return. It's always extremely clean and is always being updated with thoughtful touches. We'll be back!

About the host

Hosted by The Sirkin Family

We are 4 siblings who grew up spending summers, holidays, ski breaks and many wonderful gatherings of friends and family at this classic New England house. Our mom bought the property when I was a baby. Three of us now live on the West coast and my sister Susannah lives in Boston.

Why they chose this property

Our parents both have New England roots, on our mother's side going back to the Pilgrims, and our father was born in Vermont. Our dad was a US diplomat and we lived in Washington, DC when our mom went looking for a place to have as a New England base for the family. The property was just what she was looking for; a charming old colonial era house down the end of a dirt road on 100 acres, outside a quaint historic town, with a gorgeous lake and skiing nearby.
