Holiday rentals with a kayak in Gilmanton

10/10. This place was very homie. Very clean. The beach, the fire pit, and kayaks made our weekend. Dennis and Brittany we wonderful hosts and won us over on our yearly family get away trip for sure. Youre always within a 20 to 30 minute drive to outlet stores, music venues, gas stations, and restaurants. Neighborhood was very friendly and peaceful. Also loved how there is no TV in the common rooms making it easy to unplug from the world and enjoy the beauty of the area. We will definitely be back. Highly suggest this place!

The house is great, beautiful view of Loon Pond, easy to find, a bit close to the road. The inside is like living in a family home. I mean knickknacks and family heirlooms everywhere. Travel books filling bookcases, grandma's handmaid pierced lampshades; it has all the kitchen utensils anyone would ever need, great game room downstairs, lots of water craft in the garage. While our kids are in the flew the coup category, this is an ideal place for middle/high school kids during summer. Gentle shallow slope into Loon Pond, which is really a good-sized lake. Cathy is extraordinarily responsive (IMHO) our example was a brief issue on arrival, she was about to make a long drive to resolve, fortunately it wasn't necessary, fixed itself! Response time was always in minutes We brought our two border collie dogs (they are like family) and outside, needed to keep them on leash due to road proximity. Our visit was late Sept, and we wanted to mostly go hiking, so did not do any water activity.

We would absolutely stay here again. This host was a great host- very responsive and available to answer questions. The accommodations is awsome & included everything we needed. The exterior entrance was a nice plus, and the little sitting area with a view of the open field a delight. As a plus Quiet but within easy walking distance to everything We wanted to see! This place is amazing- absolutely what I expected based on the photos.This little house had everything I needed and even a view of the birds from the porch! Comfortable bed and very, very helpful hosts!Simply 5 stars ........

We had a great stay at Julie’s beautiful home. Her home was even nicer than the pictures. Great kitchen with everything you could possibly need. Open layout so we can all converse no matter what we were doing. Beds were comfortable. But the outside stole the show. The upper deck was spacious and had great views. The hot tub was just what we needed. Then you walk down to the dock and there is enough space for everyone to lay out. Lots of kayaks and paddle boat. Had fun exploring and fishing the lake. Perfect home for families to come together and catch up!! Oh, and the lower level was perfect with ping pong, foosball and tv for late night fun!! Would recommend to anyone wanting to be in the lake region of NH.

Erin's place was the best Airbnb place I've stayed in since I became a member over 10 years ago! I cannot say enough wonderful things about it honestly, from the most comfortable bed imaginable (I took a picture of the mattress and pillows and bought them!) to the kitchen amenities and the most GORGEOUS views! I went there as a retreat from hectic Boston life and it was so peaceful I was ready to book another stay soon!

Beautiful old New England farmhouse, remodeled to be comfortable and modern but still retain its character. Nice kitchen - able to bake a birthday cake with one grandchild and lasagne with another. Particularly enjoyed the art throughout the house!

This home is beautiful ,well equipped, and the perfect spot to relax. Melora was very friendly and helpful. The little extra touches was what made the home feel so comfortable and the view is just perfect. We are definitely planning a second stay in the near future.

We had a peaceful, fun stay. There were so many things for the kids to play with in the shed and house. They were busy all weekend

This place was really nice! Its on a beautiful lake with a lot to do! Jessica had plenty of kayaks, canoes, and life vests. The surrounding is beautiful and peaceful. The location is great with plenty of restaurants and shopping nearby. It's also very close to many great hiking areas Mt Washington.

They were accommodating, flexible, and very gracious. They had an entire binder of information with details about where to find fans, towels, flashlights, how to work the shower, heat, grill, and about anything else you can think of. It also had emergency services, restaurants, places to have a good time, and good details about checkout expectations. Overall we were extremely happy with the property and our stay, and were honored by the personalization they did for us specifically as it was our Honeymoon and they wrote us a custom note by hand for when we arrived. Highly Recommended - Will Rent Again!

We loved our stay! It ended up being a rainy weekend so we really enjoyed all the little extras the cabin had to offer - especially the crafting cabinet! The house has all these little helpful notes about how best to enjoy the house and your stay. The backyard is beautiful, the kitchen had great little additions (we always forget olive oil!). The beds were comfortable, our kids loved the bunk bed room. The location is great, close to local shops and small treasures but also near big chains should you need a specific item. The house really makes the most of the space. We will definitely be back!

We came up to Joan's lovely cottage for a peaceful, hiking Christmas vaca and it was absolutely perfect. Joan was a wonderful host, very friendly and generous. We wish Joan was our granny too! Granny camp was comfy, cozy, on a beautiful lake, with lots to do in surroundings areas. Would love to come back in the summer! Thank you!

Loved our stay at this peaceful lake. The house is perfect- cozy and has everything you need. We loved paddleboarding and the access to cute downtown North Conway is ideal!

Helen was actually wonderful. She returned calls and everything. It was a great place to stay beautiful and hope to stay there again someday.

This lovely home has everything you could need for a peaceful, relaxing vacation. We enjoyed using the kayaks to explore the lake. Loved hearing the loons calling. The kitchen was the most well-equipped of any airbnb I’ve been to. And it was a plus having a dishwasher and being dog-friendly. The house was super clean and the beds very comfy. Hope to return soon.

This riverside retreat was the perfect weekend getaway! It was so peaceful and we felt right at home. It was a bit cozier than the pictures made it seem but it was perfect for two of us and a big dog. Everything was clean and it was easy to find things such as extra towels and plates. It was raining almost the whole weekend but there was still so much for us to do between games, the game shed, and the screened in portion of the shed where we could sit, watch the river, and listen to the rain. We hope to go back again someday!

Natalia’s home was beautiful! We stayed for a winter ice fishing weekend with a few couples, including dogs and babies. The home was right on the ice, which was perfect for our purpose. There was plenty of space for everyone to spread out and be comfortable. The living room seating was particularly great- everyone always had a comfy spot to sit. We enjoyed our stay!

We had such an incredible stay! The first day was pretty rainy, but the house was so relaxing and comfortable that it didn’t matter - we enjoyed staying in and looking at the gorgeous view of the lake while doing jigsaw puzzles near the fire. When things did clear up, we had a great time playing in the yard snd kayaking. I was surprised at how quiet it was, especially during Memorial Day weekend. The beds were super comfy, kitchen was great, shower and tub were wonderful. Lisa left great instructions and checked in with us to make sure we had everything we needed. And she was very kind in allowing us a late checkout, which was very helpful with three young kids. I can’t wait to visit again!

Wonderfully peaceful, tranquil setting on the lake, in the woods. Perfect for a quiet getaway to reflect and renew. Everything was exactly as described, and Laurel was a gracious and responsive host. The cabin was rustic yet newly refinished, very clean, well equipped. Enjoyed the screened in gazebo, loved sitting by the water as well, plus experiencing the lake in the canoe and kayak. Also enjoyed some great hiking and views at Mt Kearsarge which is less than 20 minutes away. And finally -- the sounds of the loons after sunset. Grateful for three days of renewal!

We had a great time at Molly's cabin. We were looking for a quiet stay and we had that. Lots of walking and hiking. The cabin was just as described snd Molly was a fantastic host. Thank you Molly!

We had a wonderful stay and will definitely return! The cabin is lovely. My daughter enjoyed kayaking around the lake. We also enjoyed the science center, Walter’s basin, and birdwatching. Thank you!

Another wonderful stay at Linda's home! We have been lucky to enjoy her beautiful and welcoming home many times. Lots of family memories made over the years! We are grateful for the opportunity to visit and a caring and thoughtful host!

This beautiful A-Frame was a perfect weekend getaway. My girlfriend and I spent the weekend here and it was in a great location with perfect accommodations for two people. The place was clean with great amenities (grill, fireplace, etc.) Will definitely be hoping to return in the future / am eager to recommend this property to anyone.

This was the perfect location for my husband and in laws. It was so peaceful. Thank you for a beautiful place to vacation.
