Waterfront Single Family Home
The house was nicely located facing a lovely park and lake. The location was excellent and fit our needs perfectly. We hope to return!

Lakefront Salem Retreat - Fish, Swim, Kayak & More
My mother & I really enjoyed how quiet it was & we loved the view everyday of the lake. I would definitely book again in the future.

Newly remodeled Lakefront home on Sunset Lake NH
If I could give it 10 stars I would. Literally the best air bnb experience we have had. Liz and Mari went way above and beyond as hosts. They thought of everything and the personal touch with the welcome gifts were very thoughtful and appreciated. Liz and Mari were very responsive to anything we asked. They thought of everything you could ever think of when staying at an air bnb. Most of all the place was so clean, the views were breathtaking and for me personally I loved the comfy beds and there were PLENTY of amazing comfortable pillows. I could go on and on but I think sums it up pretty well. We will definitely be back to stay at this location!

Bright and open modern farmhouse
This place is a gem!! It sits in a super quiet neighborhood and close to Alewife metro station for trips into Boston. The house was perfect for our family of 6 (4 teenagers). The house was quaint, clean, and spacious enough for all us to feel like home for a few days. Aimee was super helpful in providing local recommendations for groceries and restaurants. She was also very proactive in checking in with us to see if we needed anything. Super host!! If you are traveling to Boston, this is a fantastic place to stay. Definitely would stay here again if we return at any point.

modern Tudor in beautiful Salem nh
Andre’s home was absolutely gorgeous all around 100%, and then some. Andre has great communication with the guests, and was truly amazing. Andre also accommodated a later checkout for us, and we are beyond grateful for that also. Every room In this home and the large fenced in back yard with a pool was awesome. Definitely recommend a stay here at this incredible Airbnb! If I could rate Andre over 5 ⭐️ I certainly would have. Thank you for sharing your home with us! We had a wonderful time.

Waterfront 4 bed/2 bath-Stunning Annisquam Sunsets
My family enjoyed staying here. It had a beautiful view from the back. Gorgeous in the morning! I loved it here and we felt at home. There was plenty of room for our family and it felt so cozy.

Boston burbs 3 bedroom 2 bath with home gym
A good AirBnB for my first time. Rooms were very neat and spotless, good lighting, and clean floors.

Cozy Lakefront cottage with firepit.
Perfect place and perfect hosts!! The house is ideal for a family getaway or work travel - fully stocked with any amenity you can think of, super comfy beds, great location (the beach is right out the back door!). Hosts were extremely helpful and made sure our stay was smooth and stress free. Everything is easy to access (WiFi, dog crate, etc). I brought my pup and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely stay again!!

Waterfront 2 Bedroom on private cove in Salem NH.
This place is beautiful! Hope to come back again in the future!

Walk to train, lake and downtown - pets welcome
Yanti is that host who thinks of everything. This is a wonderful location, we spent the long weekend while attending the 2025 World Figure Skating Championships in Boston and all 3 of us loved our stay. First, it's an easy walk to the commuter rail, which will have you at North Station in half an hour or less. Downtown Wakefield is adorable with some excellent restaurants and there's a nice 3+ mile route around the lake that's perfect for a run/walk. She has the sweetest doggies and I fell in love with Lily's smile. The unit is in the downstairs of a quaint home that is steps from the downtown common and has every amenity or resource I could think of. Forgot my razor, they were stocked in the cabinet. Needed to print tickets - office area had a printer. Umbrellas to walk to the train in the rain. First aid kit to dress a small cut on my finger. Washer and dryer with cleaning supplies. Literally everything. I'm so glad we chose the spot and we'll definitely be back!

#1 Completely Remodeled 3Br Arlington Heights Unit
Super location in a great neighborhood and lovely like-new apartment. The outdoor patio space was awesome. The host did not skimp on anything including how it was stocked. We would definitely stay again.

Cozy home away from home
Staying at Sean's Airbnb in Amesbury was an experience that exceeded expectations. The house was spacious, serene, and perfectly set up to provide a relaxing stay. Sean's place had all the comforts of home with an extra dose of tranquility that is hard to find. The location was an added bonus. It was just a short walk to the vibrant Amesbury market square, offering convenient access to a variety of local shops and eateries. This made the stay even more enjoyable, knowing that these amenities were so easily accessible. As for Sean himself, he is an exceptional host. He ensured everything was in place for a comfortable stay, while maintaining a high level of privacy. His gracious hospitality and the relaxing environment he's created make his Airbnb a must-visit in Amesbury.

Home away from home!
Great place as described! Andy is very responsive, thank you!

My Favorite Boston place
Lake access cottage rentals

The Little House - a historic New England cottage.
our favorite “home” away from home thoughtful details abound, but nothing can compete with the beauty of the setting can highly recommend the spa pedicure at Winchester Nails

Charming Waterfront Cottage Near Cambridge/Boston
Sabrina's place was beautiful inside and out. The practically 180 degree view of Spy Pond is stunning and we enjoyed watching all of the natural beauty in this perfect little cottage. The space was spotless and thoughtfully decorated with just enough decor to give tons of character but still feeling uncluttered.

Lakefront cottage for a fun, relaxing getaway.
Extremely clean lake house with stunning views and all the comforts of home. Many sweet touches throughout the three bedroom house and fully appointed kitchen. Wishing we had more time to stay, relax, and enjoy the water, but would highly recommend this Air B&B! PS. I appreciated the railings along the steps down to the house, having had a recent knee replacement.

Little Red Lake House
Laura was an amazing host! She was quick to respond to some things that popped up that we needed help with. The house is exactly as pictured and described. The area is very peaceful, and we used the kayaks daily. While there weren't "extra" items like salt and pepper or any seasonings for cooking or larger bottles of shampoo and soap, the kayaks made up for it! I was very concerned about one bathroom for 4 people and the rooms being so close together, but none of my concerns became an issue. This home is a great value for the area, and we highly recommend it!

NEW -Lakefront 2 Bed / 3 bath + Extra Bed
Hosts were very kind and responsive. The house was amazing and the views were incredible.

3 Bedroom Lakefront Cottage on Family Campground.
This is the 2nd time I stayed here. It was great both times.
