Places to stay near Governors Island

Jennifer's Home is wonderful. This is the second time we stayed there. The place was immaculate, the kitchen is excellent with everything you would need. Loved some of the suttle touches made to the place since last time. Jennifer has a special place and we will be back!

Marks place was a fantastic stay! In a really cool neighborhood that has a cute covered bridge when you enter. It was beautiful and exactly what we needed. Zero complaints and I would absolutely stay there again. Beds were comfortable and everything was very clean. Will come back sometime in the spring/summer to check out the area more because it was snowing heavily while I was there, but the type of snow was beautiful to see and play in. The neighborhood plowed the roads, an NH really knows how to manage the roads with the snow…more than anywhere else I’ve seen. We rented a jeep grand Cherokee and it was easy getting around. This location was great, too. Not far from Conway or other places so we went skiing, hiking and tubing. Super fun!

We really enjoyed our stay! We felt comfortable and at home. Ice fishing on the lake was fun and sledding down the back hill. Short ride to Gunstock for skiing.

The cozy cottage was a great base for our trip to the White Mountains. Only 30 minutes from the Woodstock and Lincoln area via a beautiful drive. Mornings sipping coffee on the deck while taking in nature—perfection! Even with the weather being colder and foggy. A bald eagle flew right by the deck our first morning and it was stunning. It is a more rustic place, designed to unplug from technology, so just be prepared; it was exactly what we needed though. We loved our visit and would stay again!

Another wonderfully relaxing stay! We really enjoyed the new screened in porch for morning coffee, late afternoon snacks, and evening games. The rainy days were just as lovely as the beautiful ones. We enjoyed the cozy gas stove on the cooler days, and we just couldn't have been more delighted by the welcome note and gift upon our arrival.

My wife and I just returned from this property. This was our fourth consecutive annual visit and we have already reserved for 2025. When it comes down to it, there are only 2 things that are important and draw us back time after time. 1. The home and its views: We have had the opportunity to stay at a number of New England Airbnb/VRBO properties, this is the only one we want to return to, over and over again. Its popularity makes it difficult to reserve- please ask yourself why? The home is delightful, comfortable, affordable, well equipped, clean, private and with a view of Sargent's pond that never stops mesmerizing us. If you are an outdoor action or more of laid-back type - no one will be disappointed. 2. Andy and Emily are the quintessential hosts. From the welcoming package, including doggie snacks - they think of everything. They are kind, honest and thoughtful people who want to ensure your needs are met but are never intrusive. We sincerely trust and thank them.

We loved our long weekend on the lake! The house was cozy and quiet, the canoe at our dock was well-kept, and while we didn't use the fire pit it was nice to have the option. We're already talking about coming back!

We had a great time! Tim's place was great. It was cute, with everything we needed, and had an amazing view. We were also pretty close from a few hikes. Tim was very good at communicating and we had no issues whatsoever. Would recommend!

Hidden Gem! Owner was super helpful great location….close to lake and ski. Ran into an issue with the hot water and owner immediately fixed it. I’d stay at the house again in a heartbeat and work with this owner.

Place was clean and very cute. exactly what we expected. He responded very quickly.

This log cabin is everything we had hoped for and then some! The views are breathtaking, the decor is phenomenal and the ambiance is simply perfect! Clare was a wonderful host with easy communication & accommodated us to the fullest. She really shows she cares that her guests are comfortable & informed. The location of the cabin is in the perfect spot as your close to everything but far enough to be away from the busy part of town. I can't express enough how much we all enjoyed our time here! We will all miss this log cabin but look forward to our return one day as we hope to be back soon! Thank you Clare for your wonderful hospitality!

Loved this house. Beautiful views and neighborhood. Lovely to walk the surrounding area. Rare and important, all the beds were very comfortable. Kitchen fully stocked and set up for cooking. Be aware that the kitchen is set up with seating at the center island for 4 in a row, but there is no dining table. So if you are more than 4, someone stands or sits separately in the living area for meals. Beyond that, we found everything as described and look forward to returning!

Was a nice place the mattresses were the best but all in all very nice place. Nice location close to a lot of things. Very close to my job quiet Street nice nice area. Had a wonderful time there when we weren’t working. Sit on the deck during a nice days must be a great place in the summer

We really enjoyed our stay here! Host was incredible — when we couldn’t find some of the cooking appliances we needed, they got them delivered so we could use them :) Also generally very responsive and helpful! The house itself is really nice and cozy and the area has lots of things to do as well (especially if you like nature). Highly recommend!

Mary’s place is a very unique historical home with all the modern conveniences. The beds are extremely comfortable, the home itself has a welcoming aura and the surroundings are peaceful and beautiful. Mary and her husband are easily available and helpful and very friendly. We enjoyed 3 nights in their lovely home

We enjoyed our stay. House was as shown in the listing. Close to Pat’s Peak ski area.

I found this beautiful home right on the lake and it was nice from the pictures but better when you got there. All amenities are there for you so minimum items are needed. Megan was super responsive and helpful with all questions. She even provided a booklet at the house with a great selection of restaurants. Our week was amazing and my son and I had a great father /son bonding time. Can’t wait to go back! Thanks Megan.

From the moment we drove up and upon entering this beautiful place we felt like we were in our own "Happy Place". This is a place we would love to build for ourselves someday. Morning coffee & tea on the dock was very peaceful overlooking Paugus Bay and the fall foliage was very Beautiful. Christine and Corey are wonderful hosts and this was the second time we have rented one of their homes; we will definitely be back again to both locations and have been highly recommending them to our friends. Thank you Christine & Corey.

We were two couples and enjoyed our stay at the lodge. It is well organized and located in a beautiful setup on the lake. A relatively short 30 minutes drive allowed us easy access to the white Mountains attractions. Vanessa was proactive on closing the open space above the bedroom doors just before we came - so this issue as reported in some other reviews has gone away… in short - highly recommended!

We had a fantastic time staying at Justin’s home!

We had a big group of moms visit for a long weekend and it was SO specious and a gorgeous location. Great hosts as well, super responsive and helpful - zero issues. We’ll be booking again!

Karen’s home is perfect and so comfortable for a family getaway. We had the most peaceful time in the most beautiful home and setting. Karen is a wonderful host. Thank you for sharing your amazing home.

Great spot in Gifford for a winter family ski vacation. The hosts were incredibly responsive and made our stay for the holidays very comfortable including Christmas stocking treats for our dog.

Great place to stay. Winter months are definitely quiet, not a bad thing! I would stay here again.
