My husband, daughter, and I loved our stay here! The home is comfortable and had everything we could ask for. We loved being able to walk down to the lake and go swimming with ease. Thanks for a beautiful, peaceful stay!

Two days away with wife, mom, daughter and daughter's partner. Good space for all of us. Took advantage of the boat dock and kayaks, even though weather wasn't ideal. House and property very well kept. Good price.

We had a wonderful time! My brother, his wife and I visited to share memories of childhood visits to my grandparents camp on True Cove. My mom spent time there every summer while growing up. She brought us when we visited from WA state. Such a special place with wonderful memories. We took a private tour of the lake with a very knowledgeable driver and it was a blast!

We really enjoyed our stay. The property is very private, quiet and in a beautiful location. We stayed for a ski trip and the home was warm and fully stocked with fire wood. They also made sure the driveway was plowed and well sanded. The kitchen had everything we needed. The property management company has outstanding costumer service. Will be staying there again. Have booked for another trip.

Absolutely adorable cottage in a private setting but close to two small towns with lots of shopping and restaurants. Highly recommended.

The cottage was clean and comfortable. It is nestled in the woods and is peaceful. The cottage has just about everything that you need. You do have lake access to the owner's dock. Just a short walk down a well-marked path. They are gracious and allow guests to use it, but it did feel a bit odd, like you were in someone's back yard. We walked down and saw the beautiful lake but did not hang out. The house is perfect for 4 to 6 adults. I think more than that would feel crowded in the main areas of the house. We thoroughly enjoyed the screened in porch, and it is only 10 minutes from Meredith. The beds were comfortable. Two full baths. Well-equipped kitchen and the refrigerator has an ice maker. There is a k-cup and a drip coffee maker that uses a regular style filter (not cone shaped). We would stay there again in the Fall.
