Not private
The property was very nice. Accommodations were very clean. The listing states it’s a 2 bedroom rental, but we only had access to one. The listing also mentions a kitchen, but this was an outdoor kitchen. Not what we expected. There were not enough towels for 2 people for a whole weeks stay. We really enjoyed the hot tub and massage chair. The area with things to do were great!

An Absolute Dream
This property is exactly as described! It was so relaxing. We used all of the amenities- cold plunge, sauna, hot tub, steam shower, massage chair! Everything was setup beautifully, with such wonderful attention to detail. We cooked dinner in the outdoor kitchen, which was stocked with everything we needed to make our meal. I couldn’t be more thankful for the 3 days we spent together.

Private spa getaway
We had a great time staying here with all of the spa amenities. Massage chair is very nice, hot tub, cold plunge and sauna were a great. King bed was comfy and shower was very nice. Heated bathroom floor is awesome. Host was wonderful and accommodating. Typically we look for more private stays but this was definitely worth the change up.

Beautiful location
This property is lovely and in a very nice area of New Hampshire. The place opens up to a small spa like waiting room with a sofa and massage chair which leads to a door to the actual bedroom and bathroom, which is well appointed and comfortable. With this said, I would recommend this place to a couple not a family because of the setup. The room is attached to the owner's home and you will hear talking and footsteps and pass by their living area windows when going to and from your car. The hot tub is a great feature and was very nice to relax in. My husband and I have been using VRBO since 2010 and stay in at least 2 to 3 places a year. We tend to like more privacy and not share our space with others. But if you don't mind this type of set-up it is overall a nice place and the owner is responsive and friendly.

Quaint Semi-Private Retreat
The property is nestled back into the woods which provides a secluded feel. The only important thing I would tell future visitors is that the suite is directly attached to the owner's home and may not provide the privacy expected. The amenities (sauna, hot tub, plunge pool, fire, and outdoor cook area) are all on a patio that is shared/adjacent to the owner's home. That being said, my partner and I still had a wonderful stay. The owner Brigitte welcomed us and showed us all the amenities and was available to answer any questions we had. The suite itself was very well set up for the "spa" feel. There is a minifridge and microwave, but if you want to cook anything you'd have to use the firepit or outdoor kitchen. It was rainy the weekend we went so we ended up eating out more instead. We found a few local shops, restaurants, and a cat cafe that we really liked. There is also a trail nearby within walking distance. I do highly recommend this location if you are looking for a nice place away from home to spend time with your partner.

Paradise!
We absolutely loved staying at this property! It was restful and serene. Brigitte has thought of everything to make this space like a spa getaway. We had our 2 sons with us (8 & 5), and they loved waking up and going in the hot tub and plunge pool! The outdoor kitchen and firepit were also so nice to have! Thanks so much to Brigitte for being an amazing hostess!

Offers What it Says, Location a Bit Surprising
When I go away with my husband for a relaxing weekend, I’ve always used hotels; this was the first time we used a VRBO just for the two of us. The listing seemed perfect- hot tub, sauna, king sized bed, steam shower, massage chair, small kitchenette. The pictures show that it’s in a wooded area, almost rural, private.
All of the amenities were there and in great condition, the only surprise- the accommodations are part of the owners house, sort of a spa redesign of an in-law apartment. I felt pretty blind-sided by this, the way the pictures looked it seemed like a little vacation bungalow on its own private lot. We almost left the night we arrived because this is not our style. However, we stayed and did enjoy everything, but I would not say that this is a place for people who want total privacy; we could hear the family moving in the house, had to walk by their house to get to the entrance, would’ve been visible from their deck/windows if we had used the hot tub.
A great place for people who want a nice spa weekend on a budget who don’t want a high level of privacy.

Perfect place to relax and recharge!
My husband and I were looking for a short get-a-way to just relax & unwind. From the get-go, Bridget was super friendly and accommodating, making us feel right at home.
The place itself was charming and cozy, with thoughtful touches everywhere. The real highlights were the jacuzzi and sauna. After a day of hiking and shopping, they were pure bliss.
We will definitely be go back! Highly recommend.

My wife and I stayed for a quick getaway to decompress and reconnect with each other. We could not be happier with everything the host and the property have to offer. The host was incredibly accommodating and very responsive. The bedding, shower, sauna, hot tub, massage chair, couch, towels - You name it - were perfect.

Stayed at this beautiful property for 2 nights with my best friend. It was far enough away from town to feel the peace and quiet yet close enough for amazing shopping and food. We plan on making this our new pre Christmas tradition for years to come! Bridgette has absolutely thought of everything to make this property absolute relaxation! Can’t wait to go back!
