Great cottage and great host
Came up for bike week with my parents and this was the perfect spot for us. Denise was very accommodating and made sure we didn't have any issues. Would stay here again.
The cabin was very cozy, the beds and furniture were comfortable. It got cold at night so it was good to have the space heaters in the bedrooms. It would be nice to have more heaters in the living room and kitchen area so it could be warmer while watching TV.
The cottage was perfect for the weekend. The walk to the lake was less than 2 minutes and it was beautiful. The cottage itself did well with heaters, everything was clean, and the owner was very helpful and kind. She even has some appliances for you to use and cooking utensils.

Very comfortable and well appointed home for the week
We love this area, and the rental is thoughtfully set up with extras like salt and pepper, heat, and a cart to move things in and out. We really enjoyed our stay, and all communication with the owner was answered quickly and thoroughly. We hope to come back to this property for our next visit!

Weekend away
We pretty much just used the cottage for our home base and did off site adventures. Went to the beach both evenings. Very short walk. Bring water shoes. the water is rocky and hard to stand. The cottage is small but was what we expected. It was fine for a family of 3.
We liked that it had a small couch area and loved the outdoor screen porch ato.

Perfect summer cabin on Newfound Lake
Our family has been staying at Newfound Lake for years, and I was thrilled to find this location right by the beach where my kids grew up! Quintessential lake cabin, the kitchen was well-stocked to cook a dinner, and everything was very comfortable. The screened-in porch was the best!! Great communication with the host.

Time away
My friend and I had a lovely two days at Blossom #3 - the house/cabin was just a right size for two friends and the basics were provided. The only thing I would suggest is getting a dish washing plastic basin and putting on the web site to bring essentials, like napkins. I would return and definitely recommend it. Dinner at the Big Catch was great. Thank you. N and E

Cozy Newfound Lake Retreat
The four of us had a great stay at this knotty pine cottage. Clean and cozy and, close to everything. Denise was very responsive to any questions we had and the cottage was well prepared for our arrival. We would definitely stay here again.

Pictures make it look better than it actually is
The property needs updating. They also need to take care of the ants. The beach is not a beach. There is not much to do in the area. we left a day early due to the ants

Cute little property in close proximity to the Kamcamagus Highway
Cute little property in close proximity to the Kamcamagus Highway but far enough from the hustle and bustle of the more touristy towns. The owner/manager Denise was great at communicating and check in was exactly as described. We would consider staying here again if in the area.

Perfect!
My husband and I were attending a wedding at Newfound Lake Inn.
Only a half a mile away, we could not have been happier with this cute cottage.
It was clean, cozy, and the bed was very comfortable.
I usually hate what the shower water does to my hair.
But this was my favorite thing about staying here. lol
I am looking forward to coming back!
Thank you Denise!

Wedding weekend
Our weekend stay at the cottage was perfect. We were there to attend our friend’s wedding. The cottage was clean & close to the venue! The lake was just a short walk, and the views at the lake was amazing & peaceful. I would definitely stay there again!
