This property is in a nice lakeside neighborhood although it is close to a railroad track and busy road. It is clean, cozy and convenient with everything you can possibly need in kitchen etc.
Only two issues: it was very difficult to open the door. It was as if the lock had trouble working with the key? I’m sure it’s fixable. Also, the hot tub jets only work on one side. Which they may not be aware of. All n all, we enjoyed staying there and it is very comfortable. We had to leave day early but it wasn’t because we were unhappy.
My husband and I came out for a little weekend getaway. The place was just what we needed. Quiet, clean, and with lovely views of the lake. The lake is very shallow, so if bringing a boat, be sure to do your research on the lake beforehand.
This is the perfect place for a weekend trip. Enjoying meals from the screened in porch over looking the lake was wonderful. Relaxing in the hot tub looking up at the stars. Sitting by the fire at night or watching movies on the very comfortable sectional. Even caught some catfish right from the backyard. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay here and the host was very helpful and answered any questions we had very quickly.
Overall the stay was great. The sleeping arrangements are a little weird as the double futon is in the bedroom and the trundle beds are in the living room, but we made it work.
What a lovely place to come to and relax after dropping our son off at Coe College.
The owner went above and beyond to ensure we had the perfect stay: cozy, clean home, kitchen packed with all the things one needs for cooking, comfortable bed, incredible views of the lake-THE SUNSET!
We would definitely come back!
Nice cozy place to stay with a beautiful view of the river. We love to gather by the fire pit area in the evening. We stay here when we come home to visit our family. Check in was perfect and our stay was fabulous.
We booked this place for a short weekend trip between busy summer activities. It’s in a quiet location right on Cedar Lake. The kitchen and carpet could use a little updating, but it was clean and has everything needed for a short stay. We spent most of the time sitting on the dock and screened in porch. We really enjoyed our stay!
We loved this place so much and Sharon was great. Very responsive and helpful. We’ve had experiences with rentals of the listing saying they had something and then it doesn’t work or isn’t what was advertised. This place was exactly what it said it would be and everything worked great and as advertised. The hot tub was lovely! The boat was fantastic! We even loved the bikes.
This property was amazing! We were steps away from the lake. The house was stocked with everything we needed & more. The kitchen had everything we needed & was equipped with spices, condiments & pantry staples. The saving grace for us was the battery charger in the garage as my alternator went out on our trip. Absolutely will stay here again if in the area.
Disappointed about flat bike tires and no way to get kayak out of lake from dock. Pontoon wasn’t available but we were promised boat time on a return visit.
Lovely home, well stocked and clean. Nicely furnished. Fire pit was lovely overlooking the lake. Screened in porch was greatly appreciated. We’d like to return to this location and be able to enjoy time on the water too.
Sharon was very accommodating for a very last minute trip. Cute, cozy house with a great view of the lake from the hot tub. Nice outdoor screened in porch- I could have drank coffee out there all day!
Cosy and clean place to stay while visiting Nashua. The weather didn’t cooperate, but the house has a good view of the lake and is close to a paved trail for walking, exploring or biking with little kids.
We enjoyed being on the lake where the scenery was beautiful. We were particularly fond of the evening soaks in the hot tub. Perfect for a weekend getaway.

About the host
Hosted by Sharon Kipp
My parents bought the tiny house and transformed it to the place of their dreams. We boated, fished and loved every minute of each others company. I want all my guests to have times like that with the ones they love.
Why they chose this property
My Dad trusted me to keep his project alive and make sure our family continues the legacy of hard work and great fun.
What makes this property unique
The hot tub is small enough that it is easily filled with clean water after each visit. This limits excess chemical usage in trying to 'keep' the same water.
