Cottage vacation rentals in Gilford

The house was clean and well maintained. The view was gorgeous, too bad Mother Nature didn’t cooperate. It was cold and rainy. Used the fire pit nightly and it was nice. Linens were clean, towels were soft and fluffy and smelled freshly laundered. Kitchen was spotless and well stocked with pot/pans and dishes. Having a dishwasher was nice too. Two grocery stores (Hannaford and Market Basket) were close by and plenty of restaurants too. We came with the intention of doing nothing and just changing scenery for the weekend. This place was perfect.

We LOVED our girls weekend away. The 3 bedrooms and sleeper sofa offered ample space for everyone to spread out. The space had everything we could ask for! Unfortunately it was a wet weekend and we did not have a chance to make a fire / roast smores, however, we enjoyed so much more. We made our morning coffee and took the short walk to the waterfront to take in the surroundings while the sky was clear. Once back at the house, we were able to enjoy the outdoor space to the fullest - hot tub and there is a spacious pergola covering the patio set so we could sit outside to eat, play cards and stayed dry! And morning two, coffee on the front porch while rocking on the coziest of chairs. A great stay!

Cozy cottage, comfortable beds, easy access to surrounding area. We loved having our coffee on the back patio. Very responsive to all communications. Very easy to work with. Exactly what we needed. We’ll be back. Thanks so much!

We enjoyed our stay. Nice and clean. Smelled fresh. The cottage was as described and even had more homey accents than expected - coffee maker, coffee pods, coffee milk, condiments in the fridge, toaster, snacks, nice dishes and cookware, great TV, comfy sofa and even an electronic fireplace in the main bedroom. Many thoughtful details throughout. Soap, shampoo and conditioner in the shower. Extra towels. A hot tub ready to enjoy and kayaks at the house to use at the nearby lake. I really wish it wasn’t a downpour weekend so we could’ve used the hot tub and kayaks. Quiet neighborhood. Parking for 1-2 cars. Great notebook chock full of helpful information of the area. Nice touch! We would stay here again and can see this being a great location for summer with the lake and water availability. The owners were kind and very responsive to any and all feedback.

The place had everything that you needed for a comfortable stay.

Best last minute birthday decision. Hot tub was nice, extremely peaceful. Host is very responsive. Would recommend 10/10.

This place was perfect for our family weekend of skiing! It was as advertised and matched the pictures. Marco's home is completely renovated and very clean. Marco was proactive with communication, checked the hot tub for us before we arrived, and gave us very friendly and clear instructions. Based on rentals, Marco let us check-in early and even check-out a little later which was very helpful and stress-free. We would definitely love to return!

This was our 2nd stay at the Red Cabin. We and our dog enjoyed our stay and love the peace, quiet, sunsets, and loons of Chalk Pond and the Selt trails nearby. We tried some new restaurants and recommend Ellacoya and The Breeze for dinner and Ames Farm Inn for breakfast. We highly recommend staying here. Both hosts are great!

We loved our stay! It ended up being a rainy weekend so we really enjoyed all the little extras the cabin had to offer - especially the crafting cabinet! The house has all these little helpful notes about how best to enjoy the house and your stay. The backyard is beautiful, the kitchen had great little additions (we always forget olive oil!). The beds were comfortable, our kids loved the bunk bed room. The location is great, close to local shops and small treasures but also near big chains should you need a specific item. The house really makes the most of the space. We will definitely be back!

Great location and cozy home with great ambiance, decor, and all of the necessities. The spiral staircase and upstairs rooms felt much smaller in person but no major issues! If you're bringing dog(s) that may have noise sensitivity like ours sometimes do - note that the walls to nextdoor Airbnb are quite thin. The dogs also had difficulty on the stairs - one learned to go up and down by training and the other one had to be carried up and down 😂 Hosts were great!

We had a wonderful time. The house was just right for 6 adults and a baby. There was great lake access with several kayaks to use and a canoe. The kitchen had everything we needed. Wendy was easy to reach and responded to our questions quickly.

We really enjoyed our stay at Rossanna’s place. The house was clean and amenable. The fire pit outside was lovely

This stay was such a steal! My boyfriend and I wanted to get away for a night and ended up liking it so much, we decided to stay a second night in a row at the last minute. Beautiful views of the lake, kayaks were a bonus! The shared bathroom space was very clean and a short walk from the house. Thank you again!

Would absolutely recommend. We were looking for a place to stay with our baby while visiting friends nearby and this place was as described and worked great for us. It’s like luxury camping and you get to enjoy the beautiful lake views!

Alex was very communicative from the start and gave easy to follow instructions. The place itself was exactly as advertised. The inside decor was great, everything was tidy and all the beds were very comfortable. The insides offered enough space for a few people to comfortable hang out without losing the appeal of a cozy get-away. Fire pit outside was great and the the little creek behind the house was really pretty and made for a good atmosphere. Absolutely wonderful stay and would definitely recommend.

If you are looking for peace & quiet, this is the place.

Rachel was so accommodating and helpful. I mistakenly booked the wrong dates and she quickly helped me change them, no questions asked. The cabin is in a great spot. Unfortunately it rained 24/7 while we were there so we didn’t really get to enjoy the lake like we wanted to. But we did enjoy the fireplace on the chilly mornings! Thanks Rachel!

We loved staying at King’s cottage! It was a beautiful home and so easily accessible. We would absolutely stay here again on our next trip to the lake!

This is a great property in a relaxing, quiet place in nature. The views were beautiful. There were many things to do outdoors, and plenty of places to sit and enjoy the surroundings. The hosts were responsive and stayed out of the way. I highly recommend this AirBnB location.

We had a great stay at Paul's house. We were visiting for ski races at Proctor Academy - about 30 minutes away. The drive to and from was super easy. Bristol has a lot to do - great coffee shops, etc. The house was packed with amenities - the kids in our party loved the arcade games, upstairs hangout room, and air hockey table. The bedroom / bathroom configuration was perfect for our combined families (3 moms, 3 kids). The kitchen had everything we needed and more! Would love to visit again - thank you, Paul!

This cabin was perfect for our Fall weekend getaway. It was cute and cozy, and just enough space for our family of three. We were just able to fit our daughter's pack n play in the second bedroom, and with the beach/lake right outside our door, our baby monitor was easily within range while my husband and I were able to sit outside at night and relax. It was also very close to many local attractions and restaurants. I'd definitely stay here again.

Spent a peaceful fall weekend with my family at this beautiful lakefront cottage. We spent most of our time out on the dock or on the screened-in porch. Fully stocked kitchen and comfortable rooms made us feel at home. Rebecca was a fantastic host - easy to communicate with, organized and very welcoming. Thanks for a five star stay!

Bjorn and Elaine's stay was absolutely incredible! We went up to see foliage and it was the perfect stay for it! Overlooking the lake and the leaves was stunning! Close to many local restaurants and hiking spots, you couldn't ask for anything more!
