Has everything you need - great location on the brook and super close to the beach, kayaks, fire pit and firewood, gas grill, lots of seating areas, nice AC. Just expect it to be a bit rustic and have a few rough edges but it's a great value and we had a wonderful week.

2nd time renting this place on Memorial Day weekend. Big family...6 lake houses owned or rented that weekend. Everything was as expected, but just wish check-in was earlier or flexible. Got to the lake early & hung around waiting for 4 pm even though no one was there.(2 out of 4 days rained, so it wasn't the best weekend at the lake.)

Wonderful Location - Great place to relax by the water

Great house - perfect location! We enjoyed being able to take a short walk to the beach - and morning coffee on the dock by the canal in the backyard. Watching the fish in the water and catching a few resident ducks with babies swim by. By mid afternoon the backyard is in the shade and we enjoyed a few drinks/dinner and music on the deck. Short walk to the Pickleball/tennis courts was great to get a few games in. We will be back next year!

We were a little confused with some of the check in instructions but the owner was very responsive once I could establish service on my phone. The place grew on both my husband and I. Loved the location near the beach and river in the back. Wish we had booked for longer.

Annual Memorial Day Family Reunion

This lovely lake house was right in the middle of our 5 other relatives' lake houses. We have been going to this lake community for many years & staying with relatives, but we wanted to rent our own place this time. The house was very clean & well-appointed, & we really enjoyed our stay there. The brook was directly outside in back! The weather was a bit cool, so we didnt kayak or go to the beautiful beach, but that made for more family time with our 30 relatives!

Paradise in Moultonborough

It’s no wonder that the house resides on Paradise Drive. An absolute slice of heaven. This was our second time staying here and we can’t wait to book again. You can’t beat the location when you are a short walk to the lively public beach while also sitting on a cool quiet tributary with a private dock. The home is clean and comfortable with multiple wall mounted AC units to escape the summer heat. Two bedrooms with plenty of space for air mattresses makes this place great for families or friends.

Loved it! Had 8 the mattresses although we made work were not that comfortable . Pull out sofa for very big son. We had a lot of laughs about it! Loved the location. We had a jet boat. Made it very easy to navigate the river just as you said. Weather was not suppose to be good. I would of have it a 10 but Sunday it poured and packing up was a little wet! Hopefully will return !

Great place to stay

We rented this house for our annual fishing trip. The house was clean and well maintained. There were many amenities including a boat dock, grill, and AC (which was nice due to the near record breaking temperatures the weekend we were there). The house is on a brook, and it took some practice to navigate around the shallow areas when heading out to the lake. Not a big deal though. For larger boats, or for those who prefer not to attempt to navigate around the sand bars, the boat ramp is very close. The other really nice thing about this place was the parking; the house a nice driveway right off the road, which was easy to back a trailer in and out of. We look forward to coming back next year Thank you

Cozy home in an unbeatable location

While the check-in process was less than ideal I have nothing but praise for this home and it’s location. Having the river access was so convenient and peaceful. While the beach is always a fun time it was nice to enjoy a private oasis on the dock on the river. Having kayaks available was a treat and the outdoor space was open and well maintained. The home had 3 air conditioning units that worked remarkably and kept us comfortable (if not chilled) when relaxing indoors and sleeping. The living space is open, cozy and clean. Hard to tell if neighbors on either side were owners or other renters but they were very friendly. Despite being there for 4th of July week we found the neighborhood was quiet and respectful without disturbances. We hope to return for 4th of July next year and make this an annual occurrence. Thank you Paradise!
