Great Place! Vacasa terrible rental company
we loved this place very much, and we can tell by the logbooks that I've been there for years that many people have enjoyed this house, aside from what I am about to say next about the rental company this place is awesome and beautiful water great fishing, and we absolutely just loved the classic New Hampshire cottage, that we we always have strive to rent for. 100% would recommend staying here.
But.......it appears as though it is being rented through a new company called Vacasa. this company is not local to the Lakes region. we got there and had no idea if we are allowed to park at the top of the driveway or in the driveway and quickly realized that it was a bad idea to try to even park in the driveway. DO NOT ATTEMPT DRIVEWAY! There was no house rules if you will. unfortunately, there was a lot of garbage left from the people before us in the trash cans at the top of the driveway so we had to put in an inquiry to the company which took over a day to finally send somebody local out get rid of some of the trash and by then we had already generated trash ourselves and unfortunately, for the next person they were probably left with a whole bunch of trash as well.
so all in all I totally recommend the property and you'll love it once you're there but it's really too bad that this company called Vacasa who is managing the rentals.
