Cottage vacation rentals in Portsmouth

Dear Tim and Kimberly - I wanted to express how much we enjoyed our stay at your delightful two-bedroom cottage. The accommodations were not only beautifully furnished but also incredibly comfortable. The added amenities, including the pool, hot tub, and gym, made our stay even more enjoyable, offering plenty of options for relaxation and fitness. We also loved how close the cottage was to the local restaurants and the beach—it was the perfect location for a relaxing getaway. Your attention to detail made all the difference, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. I will definitely recommend your place to others and look forward to returning in the future!

Lovely one night stay at this sweet little cottage! Grounds are well-kept, enjoyed morning coffee on the front porch. AC kept it nice and cool. Convenient location close to a great donut shop- Congdon’s and our favorite ice scream spot- Scoop Deck. Chloe is a gracious host and even granted us a late check-out!

This trip was more than we could've ever wanted! The property was lovely and the hosts were more than accommodating and made sure everything was as comfortable as it could've been! I'd recommend anyone to book with these hosts and I will definitely be booking again!

What a wonderful weekend stay! We arrived to the house with it fully prepped for us - heat already on (it was a cold weekend), bathroom set up, towels present, etc. We felt immediately comfortable. It was about a ~15-20 minute drive to any restaurant/main area. The outdoor hot tub was definitely the highlight (also set up for us prior). Watching the snow fall while comfortably sitting in the hot water/jets was fantastic. Kitchen was stocked with pots, pans, oil, spices, etc. - everything helpful for home cooking. Alexa was friendly, responsive, and flexible with us. It’s clear she’s experienced with hosting and making our stay a seamless experience. I could not recommend her home more (and would definitely go back in the fall for some quality beach time!).

We had a great stay at Audrey & Seb's place. It was spacious, beautifully decorated, and extremely clean. The beds were super comfortable, the location was private and close to town, and there was so much thought put into all the little details. What an absolutely wonderful place. Thank you so much!

Everything was so perfect !! thank you for hosting us !!

Terrific stay! The cottage was modern, clean, convenient and lovely. The pools are great for kids, and the cottage is near to restaurants, beaches etc. Great place for a holiday.

Above and beyond in every way! Everything was extremely clean, easy to access, and very dog friendly. The host was incredibly responsive, flexible, and kind! We plan to go back!

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.

The cottage is cozy and comfortable, including the beds. It's in a quiet neighborhood yet very accessible to hiking trails, beaches, restaurants, and shops. Fiona was extremely friendly and helpful. She is definitely a Super Host! We would happy have stayed longer if we could have! For those who like to ride your bike: Rt. 127, the main road that goes around Cape Ann, is very narrow and has no shoulder, so I don't recommend planning to bike there.

This was the perfect spot for our trip up to NH, and little did I know it would turn into our engagement trip! Susan was incredibly helpful, providing clear instructions and responding to questions promptly. We’ll definitely be back! The yard was secure and ideal for our 7-month-old puppy to play in. We also enjoyed taking walks around the area! Susan went above and beyond by leaving a bottle of wine in the fridge, turning on the lights for us, and ensuring the cabin was spotless. It was truly the perfect place for our stay!

A large, comfortable home with the ocean in sight! The beach was stunning and the area was so quiet and peaceful in the off-season. Some great restaurants and shops were still open too. We’d love to return one day.

Absolutely loved our stay at this lake cabin! It's nestled right on the water, making it a perfect spot for peaceful mornings and unbeatable fishing. The sunsets over the lake are absolutely stunning — a real highlight of the trip. The cabin itself has a rustic charm, filled with unique vintage touches that make it feel cozy and full of character. It's quiet, far enough from the city to truly relax, but still conveniently close to town if you need anything. A wonderful place to unwind and make lasting memories with family. Can't wait to come back!

Perfect little Maine cabin getaway! We enjoyed our stay so much. The cabin was clean, easy to find, and had everything we needed for four people and two dogs. Cannot recommend enough!

Loved the place. Would definitely try to visit again!

My wife and I stayed one night at Brenda’s cottage with our pup Kona. The location can’t be beat (steps from the water) and the cottage is very comfortable, clean, and had everything we needed for a great stay. We would definitely come back!

Words can’t describe the view from the patio. It was a wonderful, peaceful escape from everything!

We loved our stay at the Gull Cottage!! Karen and Steve were great hosts, incredibly friendly, helpful, and responsive. The cottage was well stocked with everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The guide book and guest book were great touches as well, and we would happily stay again next time we come up to Maine! We could not recommend the Gull Cottage more if you’re looking for a great and cozy place to stay near Portland!

Janet, was an amazing host, super helpful with answering any questions we had. Also was helpful in assisting when we arrived later in the evening. The cottage is beautiful and right on the lake with an amazing view. Close by to all the towns around the lake it’s the perfect location. It was super clean and cozy and a great spot to stay for a trip to NH.

we had an absolutely lovely stay! the place was beautiful and it was a perfect little getaway, highly recommend!

Beautiful location, perfect stay with amazing hosts! This was the perfect getaway for our family and we cannot wait to go back! The location can't be beat and Kate and Barry went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend!

Good place to stay lots of beds in a small footprint. Burners on the stove never got hot enough for me to cook my dinner or boil more than a cup of water but other than that everything worked great and check in and out was painless.

The location was amazing. Just a few steps to Crescent Beach. I actually took my coffee down there and watched the sunrise in the morning. So beautiful. The cottage was clean and comfortable. Kristin was very responsive and helpful. Don't miss out on the clam chowder at the Lobster Pound less than 100 meters away. We'd definitely come again.

We rented one of the cabins at Lakehurst Cottages for a week in August. We were nervous because we were bringing up our boat and had a bad experience at another lake last year. Jim and Janet were so reassuring as to where we could keep the trailer and the location of a convenient boat launch. It all worked out great! Our cottage was a delightful 1 bedroom with sliders all around. There was everything we needed to cook meals. They have a fire pit with wood if you want to make a fire, or chairs to sit in by the water. Downtown Alton Bay was 4 miles away and we enjoyed walking around during an annual festival and craft fair. The town docks are plentiful and convenient if you have a boat. There is so much to do at Lake Winnipesauke and this cabin was in such a great location with great hosts - and guests!
