We loved our stay at 60 French! The house was awesome. Clean, well maintained, and all of the stuff you would need for a family weekend at a mountain lake. We enjoyed kayaking, canoeing, swimming, and fishing. The morning cup of coffee on the deck was so enjoyable. My son loved the nap in the hammock. The location was super. We will be back soon I hope!
This property is amazing! This was our second stay at the waterfront cottage. It was just as beautiful and relaxing as our first stay. Although it rained most of our stay, we were able to enjoy canoeing on the pond a few times. We were also able to see the Strawberry Moon shine above the pond- truly spectacular!
We had an absolutely amazing time at this truly special place. First off it was perfectly clean .. pristine. Secondly, it was so private. The pond was perfect for swimming and boating. We did both with our grandkids, Charlotte and Lucas. Ruggles Mine was literally a hidden gem. We all loved it!
We had a great stay. The property is just as advertised - plenty of room, very clean, and has everything you need to enjoy your stay. Itâs a very quiet, serene spot.
We've stayed in many rental places over the years and this was absolutely the most spotless and comfortable. Add in the beautiful lake setting and it can't be beat! Thank you Mary and Kirk!
Mary is a perfect host: responsive and very considerate.
The house is immaculate and the lake site is perfect for us (small and quiet.) We will definitely come back again!
We had a perfect weekend at this charming home. It is indeed immaculate and very comfortable.
Mary is a thoughtful communicative host.
Spectacle Pond is delightful- very quiet! We enjoyed kayaking, swimming, paddle boarding, sitting on the deck and spending time together. Hope to return in the future.
We feel so lucky to have stumbled upon this hidden gem. A beautiful lakeside cabin with every convenience of home in a serene and peaceful location. The owners could not have been better or nicer to deal with and went out of their way to make our stay special. We canât wait to return!
The property was beautiful, well placed, fully equipped, and the whole experience was ideal. The location is tucked away but still accessible to the town within 15 minutes. We had a great relaxing time.
I don't usually write reviews but this place was a gem. As soon as I walked in I breathed a sigh of relief it is as clean as all the other reviews mention. The kitchen is so well stocked there was nothing we needed.
We had the most relaxing week swimming, paddle boarding and kayaking. The water was shallow near the dock so my littlest did snorkeling around there and the older one enjoyed the dock. The pond itself is so quiet and peaceful.
Would definitely recommend this host and property!
This lovely house was sparkling clean, tastefully decorated and impeccably maintained. The host was excellent in every way and the location was as good as it gets if you want to get away from everything, swim and kayak to your heart's content, and enjoy the peace of nature while at the same time feeling luxuriously comfortable. This place is a rare gem in the world of rental properties.
I echo all the previous reviews re how special the setting of this property is - a beautiful and peaceful location. This is all the more special as the owners have made available all the equipment to make the best of the waterfront setting - kayaks, canoe, fishing rods, fire pit etc. They were also super responsive to queries. We very much enjoyed our stay - thank you.
This was our second stay and Mary was wonderful! Every little detail was thought of...crisp, clean sheets and towels, super comfy beds, and pretty much anything a family of 5 could think of needing. Took a sunset kayak ride and enjoyed the super clean lake. Photos don't do it justice, truly beautiful! Great kitchen for cooks :)
The cottage was perfect for our getaway! The description is just like Mary provided and the cottage was well supplied and very clean. We enjoyed using the canoe and kayak and swimming in the lake. The unexpected surprise was occasionally hearing the beautiful sounds of the loons across the lake- it was truly a unique experience for us all.
Overall wonderful stay.
The Pond is very peaceful and so relaxing with water side chairs to sit on or the deck to enjoy the morning calm and sunrise.
Water was clean and without boat traffic very manageable for kids. Loons, ducks and even a mink were our daily animal highlights
The house was spotless and very comfortable. Many options for activities with games and floats provided. I didnât reach the goal of no screen time at all but all the options made it easier for everyone to find something to do when they werenât fishing or paddling.
Plenty of activities away from the house too with hiking and visits to town.
Communication with the host was immediate. And the welcoming nature of this property with welcome gifts and messages from the host was appreciated.
Omg, This booking far exceeded our expectations. It was exactly what we hoped for, to allow our family to have quality time together while enjoying privacy at the lakeside. The cottage itself was immaculate and so tastefully decorated. We loved how connected to nature it was, with so much thought given into providing every detail in order for us to relax and have fun. The setting is gorgeous, so much so I kept burning my pancakes. I didn't want to miss looking at the view! My daughter particularly enjoyed the nature books/artwork as an aspiring biology researcher. We will have these memories forever now. Thank you. Also, we would love to come back some day if you would have us.
Nestled deep in the woods, we found a very cozy cottage. We arrived late in the evening and didn't realize how amazing the cottage and land were until we woke up! The cottage is on the most beautiful pond! It is truly breath taking! The pictures on VRBO do not do it justice! The house had everything we needed or wanted on the inside and out! We had a relative in the hospital, so we were not able to enjoy the cottage as much as we would have liked (and it rained the few afternoons we were there). We were able to take the canoe out one evening and it was amazing! There was a strange animal in the water with us. The neighbor heard us asking about it and yelled it was a beaver. A beaver! We are from New Mexico and have never come across a beaver (he wasn't happy we were in the water with him. It was quite comical)! I think we made the neighbors night with our out bursts! You could also hear a chorus of frogs singing every night!
The cottage itself was very clean and felt like someone from HGTV had come and decorated it! If you were going to be cooking meals, the kitchen is supplied with everything you would need. There was also enough necessities, we never ran out. We had to contact the owners once and had a reply within minutes. I was with my 2 sisters and elderly mother. It was easily accessible for all of us. Given the chance, we would have stayed a few more days (weeks, months, years)! We hope we can come again!
We didnât realize what a beautiful location this was. The house is charming and was so comfortable. We had a great weekend getaway. Our hosts couldnât have made it easier for us.
The house on Spectacle Pond was great in every wayâclean, well-equipped, conveniently located, good access to outdoor activities; we used the kayaks and canoe several times.
We booked this cabin last minute as our original VRBO further up north had a plumbing issue and became unavailable less than 24 hours before we were scheduled to arrive. We found this cabin, which was further south than we were planning to stay, but it looked so perfect that we booked it anyway. We were SO GLAD we did!!
We felt bad booking last minute, but Mary actually had the place ready early for us, which was amazing because we had time to get right out onto the lake in the kayaks and enjoy a beautiful afternoon!
The minute we arrived, we both decided that the change of plans was a blessing in disguise. First of all, this place was not just clean - it was immaculate!! The layout of the cabin is great and it's very nicely decorated. The view of the lake from all three levels of the house was beautiful. We loved watching the family of loons who cruised back and forth past the house all weekend. We took the kayaks out 3 or 4 times during our stay. The lake is small enough to be quiet, but big enough that a paddle around it is close to 3 miles round trip.
We ate every meal on the deck overlooking the lake. At night we took advantage of having a glass of wine out by the fire pit, watching the stars and listening for the owls.
There were lots of good hiking trails nearby, as well as the Northern Rail Trail, which was great for us since we had our mountain bikes with us.
I could go on and on about how great this place is, but I'll sum it up by saying that my husband and I totally fell in love with this lakeside cabin and we would love to book it again in the future.
Mary - you are a wonderful host and we thank you for sharing your amazing home with us!!
Our first impression was how immaculate the cabin was kept. We had the feeling no one had been there before us. Then the setting took our breath away. Everything we needed was available in the cabin. There was a lovely card and welcoming gifts waiting for us on the counter. We highly recommend this cabin to anyone who enjoys getting away on a quiet, beautiful, pond, in a gorgeous cabin with all the amenities for a fun filled vacation. Debbie & Bob
Wonderful house, immaculate inside and out!! Comfortable beds, every amenity, so many little details taken care of. Our 3 kids ages 12 and 9 had a blast in the kayaks and paddle board and on the dock, the pond is very clean and small enough to be able to give them space to explore without worry. Super quiet and peaceful, just the loons and the squirrels :) Mary was a fantastic host, super responsive and had everything we could possibly want or need, including water shoes, fans, tons of kids games and activities, fishing poles, bikes, beautiful furnishings and tons of towels, linens, pillows, etc. We are already looking at dates for next year!
We had a lovely stay on Spectacle Pond. The house is as advertised...clean and comfortable. The owners went above and beyond to supply all that you need for a vacation. We enjoyed the kayaks, deck, swim float, grill etc. They also had very nice bikes but we had brought our own. The area was so quiet and peaceful and we loved watching and listening to the Loon family on the lake. We will definitely be coming back again.
My husband and I have lived in New Hampshire for over 25 years. We raised our family in the Upper Valley and have had many wonderful adventures in New Hampshire as a family. We are "empty nesters" and decided we wanted to welcome others to come and enjoy all that our area has to offer.
We have loved the many seasons that we have spent with our family on the lake. As a couple, we still love our time at the lake! But, we decided to share our home so others can enjoy the wonderful seasons in New Hampshire. There is nothing like a lake front property to make the seasons come alive.
We have all the toys to make your time at the lake enjoyable. We have a dock that you can swim out to. We have a one of a kind picnic table float - I have included a picture. It is a great place to have dinner on the water!
