Pauli Point - Freedom, NH

This is truly a great spot. Right on top of the lake with great views. Unfortunately, for the price, we were expecting a better experience. First, we asked for an early check in, but were told the cleaning crew needed until 4 pm. If checkout is 10 am, they had 6 hours to clean. When we arrived, the kitchen and porch were very sandy. I get it is a sandy lot, but it did not seem vacuumed. Also, the last renters left the grill utensils outside and dirty from whatever they cooked. While they were supposed to clean them, I would expect the cleaning crew would take care of that for the next renter, especially where I had to pay $150 for a cleaning fee. Additionally, being on the water in the fresh air, you want to have the windows open. Each sill had months' worth of cob webs and dead insects. It would take the cleaning crew just a couple minutes and a few swipes of paper towels to fix that. Again for $150 cleaning fee and $300+ a night, these are reasonable expectations. Finally, the biggest issue we had was with the screened porch. It is a beautiful view and could be the best part of the property. Unfortunately, there were gaping holes in the screens. I wish I could attach pictures. One of the panels of the screen door, had 3 of 4 sides of the screen detached from the door. A cat or small dog could have used it as a pet door. Perhaps that's what happened to it in the first place. But again, this could have and should have been fixed, at relatively minimal expense, when I'm paying $300+ a night. You should have full use of the amenities of the property without having to swat away flies and mosquitoes. Again, this could be a great spot, but disappointing given the price. At a minimum, I should get my cleaning fee back.

We are from Australia 🇦🇺 and had been travelling around NH and Maine coast for 2 weeks when we arrived, it was the perfect place to get away, it was so peaceful after the summer crowds had left. The house had everything you could want and was clean, comfortable beds but close to a shop, laundry and activities. We were happy to relax on the deck or beach and watch the sun go down over the mountains. We recommend this house, while a little bit rustic , it has everything you need to relax and enjoy the lake.

We loved the location and house! It was very clean, beautiful spot on the lake. The sandy area was great for the kids and the fire pit was perfect. It was a great spot for our oldest children to play and swim. We had a blast!

Cottage is spacious inside. 3 full bedrooms plus loft for the little ones! The rocks on the way down to the water were hard on the smallest child - no real beach area. Central AC was great and the screened in porch was perfect!

Nice camp with plenty of room! Very clean! Had everything you would think a camp should have.

Our stay at 30 Pauli-Point Road was fantastic! The cottage was perfect size for six adults. Everything was as promised with several additional amenities. The only item left wanting was the refrigerator. It was much too small and struggled to keep food cold. The lake was clean, clear and warm. A perfect week of weather saw us spending lots of time on the water kayaking, fishing and floating. Access to the water was a little tricky with the rocks, but there was a swim ladder at the end of the dock. Can not wait to visit again!
