Cottage holiday rentals in Alton

Everything was great. We're so glad we stayed here. Everything was so easy here and it was so close to everywhere we needed to go.

We LOVED our girls weekend away. The 3 bedrooms and sleeper sofa offered ample space for everyone to spread out. The space had everything we could ask for! Unfortunately it was a wet weekend and we did not have a chance to make a fire / roast smores, however, we enjoyed so much more. We made our morning coffee and took the short walk to the waterfront to take in the surroundings while the sky was clear. Once back at the house, we were able to enjoy the outdoor space to the fullest - hot tub and there is a spacious pergola covering the patio set so we could sit outside to eat, play cards and stayed dry! And morning two, coffee on the front porch while rocking on the coziest of chairs. A great stay!

Cozy cottage, comfortable beds, easy access to surrounding area. We loved having our coffee on the back patio. Very responsive to all communications. Very easy to work with. Exactly what we needed. We’ll be back. Thanks so much!

A great spot tucked away!! House was cute and as shown in the pictures, is right on the water and has some great views! It rained the majority of the time we were there so didn’t get to take advantage of all the outdoor amenities, but would have if better weather! Host was very friendly, communicative and responsive!

We enjoyed our stay. Nice and clean. Smelled fresh. The cottage was as described and even had more homey accents than expected - coffee maker, coffee pods, coffee milk, condiments in the fridge, toaster, snacks, nice dishes and cookware, great TV, comfy sofa and even an electronic fireplace in the main bedroom. Many thoughtful details throughout. Soap, shampoo and conditioner in the shower. Extra towels. A hot tub ready to enjoy and kayaks at the house to use at the nearby lake. I really wish it wasn’t a downpour weekend so we could’ve used the hot tub and kayaks. Quiet neighborhood. Parking for 1-2 cars. Great notebook chock full of helpful information of the area. Nice touch! We would stay here again and can see this being a great location for summer with the lake and water availability. The owners were kind and very responsive to any and all feedback.

5 stars is not enough for how wonderful our stay was! The area was so quiet and peaceful right on the water and everything inside was clean and tidy. You could tell everything was clean, especially the linens which smelled like fresh laundry. We got rained out one of the days but still enjoyed our time thoroughly. Would definitely stay here again!!

Beautiful house in the heart of North Conway! Privacy but close to all fun attractions. Spacious but cozy vibes. The hot tub was a hit, especially after a day of skiing! Only thing I would say Is make sure you have a car that can get up hill in snow. Such a great time! Would love to come back!

The house was clean and well maintained. The view was gorgeous, too bad Mother Nature didn’t cooperate. It was cold and rainy. Used the fire pit nightly and it was nice. Linens were clean, towels were soft and fluffy and smelled freshly laundered. Kitchen was spotless and well stocked with pot/pans and dishes. Having a dishwasher was nice too. Two grocery stores (Hannaford and Market Basket) were close by and plenty of restaurants too. We came with the intention of doing nothing and just changing scenery for the weekend. This place was perfect.

We had such a wonderful stay at this beautiful, quiet, waterfront cottage that had everything we needed (and more!) for our week-long stay. Jacky's place was exactly as described and she was very responsive and helpful throughout. Hope to come again!

We can always rely on a great long term stay at the cottage.

Great location and cozy home with great ambiance, decor, and all of the necessities. The spiral staircase and upstairs rooms felt much smaller in person but no major issues! If you're bringing dog(s) that may have noise sensitivity like ours sometimes do - note that the walls to nextdoor Airbnb are quite thin. The dogs also had difficulty on the stairs - one learned to go up and down by training and the other one had to be carried up and down 😂 Hosts were great!

The cottage was just as listed and the beds were very comfortable. Would definitely stay here again!

Super cute cottage! I really enjoyed a few peaceful days there on my own, it was exactly what I was looking for. It's very charming and has everything you need. Like others have mentioned, you can definitely hear the road noise so it doesn't feel totally secluded but that didn't detract from my stay. Emily was a great host, provided lots of helpful information, and very quick to respond.

When we arrived at this small, lovely marina where the property is located, my first thought was: magical!!!!! Inside, a little oasis, modern and well appointed. A huge, comfy sofa, large TV, great bed and thoughtful amenities. We did not need the AC, but I tried it and it got cool, quickly. Outdoors: paddleboards, kayaks and a grill overlooking the lake and the homes along the lake. Stunning. It’s a less than a minute walk to the restrooms, which are also modern and pristine, and part of the experience. I genuinely loved our stay here! It’s a very special, private place in the best of ways. Highly recommend,

Hidden creek cottage was a perfect little getaway spot for our family!

I’ve stayed here a few times. I continue to enjoy all aspects of the property. Give it a try.

We had the best weekend at this place! It’s a beautiful home (in our opinion the cutest on the entire lake) in an even more beautiful area. It was a bit overcast and rained one day but the lake was surprisingly warm and we still went swimming even on the cooler day. We also used the kayaks and SUP the host provided to spend more time on the water. There were lots of board games provided that we played often. The kitchen was well-stocked with spices, pans, and even small appliances, and the toiletries provided were nice. The best part of this place, however, is the French doors that open onto the balcony. We kept them open, with the screen closed to keep bugs out, almost the entire time we were in the house. Despite being a guest house on the same property as Janath and Beth’s home, the carriage house felt very private. This has been one of our most favorite places we’ve stayed. A beautiful home that is quiet and with lake views you can’t beat. I’d recommend to anyone! You’ll love it.

Great time. As described. Plenty of space to hang out. Enjoyed walking around, grilling, and using the fire pit. Very comfortable place for a little retreat.

We absolutely loved our stay at Jane & Dan’s house. It was perfect. We felt so peaceful and relaxed during our time there. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting outside on the porch swing while the sun was setting watching the mountains, horses and sunset. Can’t wait to come back!

We loved staying at King’s cottage! It was a beautiful home and so easily accessible. We would absolutely stay here again on our next trip to the lake!

My husband, 15 year old son and I stayed at Jim & Janet’s cottage #5 last week. I could not recommend it more! We had the best time. The check In/check out process was smooth. Jim & Janet are wonderful, friendly hosts who are super communicative. The location of the cottage was amazing being directly on the lake. The grounds are absolutely beautiful. The access to the paddle boards and kayaks was great and made for a lot of fun days. The cottage’s close proximity to Alton Bay is also a plus because it’s such a cute and easy to navigate area with a few restaurants and great scenery. The hosts’ local recommendations were spot on. We couldn’t have asked for more with our stay. The cottage was the cleanest rental we’ve been in so far. We got so much in that we wanted to and also relaxed with the beautiful scenery. It is such a hidden gem! Thank you Janet and Jim! We hope to return again!

We love to stay here. Etoile is always very helpful and the place is clean. It is centrally located to where we want to be.

Would absolutely recommend. We were looking for a place to stay with our baby while visiting friends nearby and this place was as described and worked great for us. It’s like luxury camping and you get to enjoy the beautiful lake views!

Amazing views!!!!!! Great communication. Welcoming to dogs and extremely peaceful. Happy we want
