Cozy winter getaway

My partner and I stayed in the Teeny house for the weekend and had an amazing time. Everything was all set up when we got there. Snow was shoveled and cleaned up. We enjoyed the simplicity of the small set up and the bathroom set up was perfect. We enjoyed a few dips in the hot tub and some sleeping in the field across the way.

Great spot! Worth a visit, or two!

With kids

Wow! What a cool spot! The hosts, Donna and Bill, communicated well and the process was easy and smooth. Their location has many options and many looked really nice. We stayed in the Tiny House (not the teeny tiny house), the Yurt & the Tent site. The location and view were excellent. Decent fishing spots. The Tiny House and Yurt are very cozy and well made. Lot of amenities. We visited late in the fall and both spots were nice and warm. The private, outdoor hot tub would have been great but unfortunately it was broken during our stay. The Tent site was nice as well, but the wood burning stove is on the small side and I wasn't able to keep the tent warm enough without waking each hour to refill the stove. My wife and child complained about either being too hot, or too cold. The air mattresses squeak a bit as well (we brought sleeping bags not sheets). Next time we would bring more linens/blankets to help stop the squeaking. It's a great location and we plan to visit again in the warmer months. I'd also like to try a winter rental in either the horse trailer, tiny house or yurt. I'd only take the tent site in the warmer months.

New Happy Place

I think I found my happy place. We went to New Hampshire for the first time during the most beautiful fall weekend and we stayed at the Teeny House. It is indeed teeny tiny but super cozy, it had everything that we will ever need! The waterfront view is GORGEOUS. The outhouse was clean and super easy to use! And it’s an actual structure now, not just a tent! We arrived kind of late and Samantha greeted us and showed us everything we needed to know and I really appreciate every tiny detail they thought of to make the camp more fun and comfortable. I love how each campsite was made like a tiny sanctuary! It’s like you are on your own private waterfront campsite. Words and photos will never do this place justice. Thank you for having us, Donna and Bill!

A wonderful place to connect with nature, and everything was very comfortable. The staff was polite and answered all our questions. The location is great, and we will definitely return in the spring. The only inconvenience was the overwhelming amount of information and the numerous phone numbers we needed to call.

Donna and her team were extremely accommodating and helpful when I requested a last minute booking due to my campsite nearby not working out. The place is adorable and the waterfront view gorgeous. The hot tub a short distance away was also amazing. I will stay longer next time!

Safari Tent

With pets

The safari tent site is awesome! Very private well-appointed with a long stretch of beautiful riverfront views. Lots of unexpected extras like cooking utensils, tin foil, paper towels, hot shower with toiletries and a charging station on the property. Know that it is a walk-in site, so you will need to bring all your gear and food down a trail with a wheelbarrow. The pond is perfect for paddling and I even saw my first New England otters!
