Nana-tucket Inn
The Nana-Tucket Inn is an absolutely gorgeous and pristine property with everything a family could need! It was perfect for our family while we were visiting New England. It was a great space for family time and our teenagers had plenty to do. Nancy and Joe are the perfect hosts! They are kind and extremely helpful while they maintain the beautiful property. They are not intrusive at all but are there if you need anything. During our stay, a huge storm blew through Massachusetts with extremely strong winds and tons of rain. Nancy and Joe had the mess made by the storm was cleaned up immediately by a professional crew the next morning so that we did not miss a single moment of the property amenities! Nancy also made us a blueberry crumble cake that was delicious and so kind. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we cannot wait to return during our next New England trip.

Locke Lake Waterfront Escape
Great and relaxing location, close to local amenities. Perfect for small groups, Hillary was awesome to rent from.

Courtyard Garden | Pool | BBQ+Fire Tbl | Fireplace
From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at home thanks to the incredibly warm and welcoming hosts, Tania and Glenn. They went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable, offering great local tips and always greeting us with a smile. Their hospitality truly made a difference. The home itself is absolutely stunning—beautifully designed, impeccably clean, and filled with thoughtful touches that made it feel extra special. Whether we were enjoying a quiet morning coffee or relaxing in the cozy living area after a day of exploring, everything was perfect. This was one of the best Airbnb experiences we've ever had. If you're lucky enough to find availability here—book it! You won't regret it. Thank you, Tania and Glenn, for a truly unforgettable stay! 💛

Charming Vintage Home - Elegance & Modern Comforts
This was our second stay at Donna & Greg’s lovely charming old house with all modern amenities. Peaceful, private and quiet. Couldn’t recommend it more, we have been staying in different Airbnb’s nearby Concord and theirs is hands-down the best one listed!

Bedford Retreat: pool, fenced yard.
Daniel and Monica were great hosts that responded to any questions or needs. They live right next to this guest house so we’re quick to respond. This house is a bit small but has enough space for up to three or maybe one more on the sun porch if using an available air mattress. It is comfortable and homey. The bedroom in the basement is fine but the rest of the basement is mostly unfinished. The pool would be a nice feature but it was too early in the season for a dip in the cold water. Plenty of stores and restaurants are within 5-10 minutes of here including a Market Basket, Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, and big REI store among many others.

The Brick House on Washington Street
Great stay and was exactly what we needed for our entire family for a weekend wedding!

“Big Red” @ New London/Sunapee | Lake-Ski-Wellness
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Big Red house in New London! The host, Chris, was so helpful in working with our dates. We traveled to New London for my mother-in-law's celebration of life, and I could not think of a better place to stay with my family and close family friends. The children (and adults!) enjoyed the game room and other amenities such as the screened porch and hot tub. We would have used the sauna/cold plunge if we had more time. The house was spacious, comfortable, and very private but easy access and close to downtown New London which was perfect for us. Again, I must highlight how gracious and helpful the host was - it was one of the best experiences I had so far with Airbnb. Please consider staying here - you will love it!

Beautiful Lakefront Vacation
Donna is fantastic and if your looking for a charming New England spot this is it! We Are very satisfied with this home.

Charming Home with Hot Tub. Minutes to Downtown!
We were in town for my niece's high school graduation and wanted a place for a few family members to stay together. The house was in a nice neighborhood, quiet, and comfortable. The host was very responsive and we had no issues. The only thing I would note is that there are no bedrooms on the main level- either upstairs or downstairs- so if you have mobility impaired guests this could be an issue. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

earthship forest exile
We stayed here as a weekend sibling trip and had the best time. The kitchen was fully stocked and made cooking 5 full meals easily, the yard with the fire pit and sand box were a huge hit, and the house was super cozy and clean. Highly recommend staying here.

Ski Sunapee or Pat’s Peak Look To The Mountain
Absolutely incredible experience! From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this place was something special. The property was immaculate—clean, beautifully decorated, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we could possibly need for a comfortable stay. Every detail, from the cozy bedding to the pristine kitchen, was perfection and made our trip unforgettable. Judith went above and beyond in every way, and clearly thought of everything a guest would need to feel right at home. She is also very responsive and easy to communicate with Without question, this property sets the gold standard for all Airbnb rentals. If every Airbnb were like this one, hotel chains would be out of business. We can’t recommend it highly enough and will absolutely be back. Mahalo you for an exceptional stay and A Hui Hou!

Home On The Hill
Beautiful home! Thank you for sharing it with my family. We were in town for my daughter’s college graduation. This location was perfect for my family. Cozy. Family oriented. Clean. Well equipped. Highly recommend!

Romantic Mirror cabin in the woods
This was the best experience we’ve ever had with Airbnb. From start to finish, Christian’s communication was excellent. I honestly wish everyone were as communicative and proactive as he is. This place truly left a mark on us. Our experience was so amazing that we genuinely want to recommend it to everyone. It was impeccable full of thoughtful details. We reconnected deeply. Everything was just perfect. I didn’t want to leave. The details won me over, and the intentionality behind this place is something truly special. I’m genuinely in love with this place. 💛

Divol Pond Cabin
Staying at this place was like visiting your best friend’s cabin, only that this friend is a highly organized, super clean and really serious about hosting people. Wonderful experience, I was really sad to leave

Balsam Retreat
Our group has such a wonderful time staying here. Grace’s place is very clean - the kitchen is equipped with coffee, tea, and granola bars. There is a washer/dryer with laundry detergent that also came in handy. I would definitely recommend booking a stay here - we felt right at home!

Quiet House, pet friendly, private parking
We booked this location last minute for a week’s stay after a rough night at a local hotel. We could not have been more thrilled! Kevin confirmed quickly and the house was perfectly prepared upon our arrival. Great place, plenty of space for our family, and comfy beds! We have a few weeks planned to return to NH and are definitely hoping to stay again!

Lakefront -Kayaks,Ski Pats Peak,Fish,Dock
We had a wonderful (restful!) stay in Weare. Highly recommend this peaceful property right on the lake.

Moonstone Lake House – romantic, serene, fun!
Mighty is fantastic! Her place is brimming with art and comfort, soft colorful rugs, creativity and spirit in every nook and cranny. So many thoughtful details from the toilet seat warmer to the lavender sachets. Just everything. But that lake that meets the back deck. It is magical. What a place and what a kind and caring host.

Our Pondside Cabin
We had a great stay. It really is minutes away from hiking trails, as well as some restaurants. It was exactly what our large group needed. We were able to prepare meals in the kitchen and ate and played board games at the large dining table. The living room area was comfy and large enough for our group to all hang out in. The place was clean and as pictured in the listing. Kathleen was also very responsive to a few questions I had while there. I'd be happy to return.

Escape to the Lake!
Beautiful lakefront home. Perfect for a weekend getaway to celebrate our son’s birthday. The home was clean and cozy with views of the sunset every evening. Our kids really enjoyed fishing from the dock and from the kayaks that were provided for guest use. Thank you for sharing your home!

The Crowcroft House
Family of four stayed for a week while visiting family. As I think one other review may have said, the description is accurate however the space is much more roomy than the photos would have you believe. Two full bathrooms, a washer and dryer, incredible kitchen, comfortable beds and a serene location all made this location an incredible space but the small, thoughtful touches like hair towels, cotton rounds/swabs/balls in the main bath made our stay exceptional.

Stylish Craftsman in Manchester
5 stars! We had an amazing stay at this Airbnb for a local soccer tournament! The place was exactly as described—clean, cozy, and in a great location. Check-in was super easy, and the host was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout my stay. I especially appreciated the little touches. We would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Big Island Pond Lake House Hampstead
Excellent and very quiet place to stay! Well kept!

Luxury Lakefront Paradise w/ Private Beach
My family and I had a serene experience staying here. Although the weather was mostly rainy or cloudy, we loved the lake location and maximized the indoor, outdoor, and nearby activity options. The hosts were so responsive, regardless of the question, and made this a truly delightful visit. This was my parents’ first Airbnb experience and it set the bar higher than I could have imagined! My family and I are already talking about coming back!!
