Truly Relaxing!

What a great place for a few days of relaxation! So peaceful, very comfortable. The living room looked nice but honestly never used it or the TV. All waking hours at the house were spent on the deck, coffee in the morning and wine in the evening. Perfect! Plenty of things to do around the area.

Hidden Creek Cottage

Loved this house, wish it was my own! Very clean, up to date, cozy, has everything you need for a stay. Location was very close to Gunstock Mountain. We enjoyed staying in at night with the fireplace on and watching a movie or reading. Would love to return in the summer.

4th of July getawat

Property is is very nice and very well maintained. Kitchen was stocked with plenty of dishes and silverware, cooking untensils and pots and pans. Even some basics like cooking spray and a few seasonings. Linens and towels were very high quality and plentiful. We had 6 adults staying and even though the house isn't very big, it lives big. Location is great, only a short drive to the beach, a short drive to Bank NH pavillion where we took in a show, neighborhood is quiet and the deck with the very large patio table was a perfect place to hang out. We really enjoyed our stay and would rent it again without hesitation.

Great Stay!

This VRBO cabin/house is in a great location, close to the main road. You can tell that it has been well taken care of and is very clean. There are plenty of towels, dishes, kitchen and laundry items stocked. We appreciated how the owners thought through their guests stay. I highly recommend this hidden cottage.
