Summary: This property was a great find! We traveled to the area to visit our son with no real knowledge of this region. Crystal Lake is a quiet community with all of your lake needs away from the larger and busier lakes. The cottage was VERY clean, quiet and with access to kayaks and a fire pit (just as described). The all weather porch was perfect for the one day of rain we had, with tons of board games for us to enjoy. The water access is a short walk from the cabin. It does feel like you are walking on someone’s property, but I assure you are not. The water was so clean and clear and perfect for kayaking, swimming and fishing. Weirs Beach and Alton Bay were only a short drive with so much to do there. If you love to Thrift shop - Laconia has the best Salvation Army I’ve ever been to across the South, Southwest, and Northern States. If you need a salty beach - ME is only a 1.5h drive - the water is clear and frigid, but worth it on a hot day. The hosts are super easy to contact and very responsive. Don’t hesitate to book this property if you are going to be in the area. Hurry before you miss out.
