We loved the house and the location on the lake. So many great beautiful spots to sit with your coffee and relax or just pop in the water for a kayak or swim. The house had everything you need. They had thought of everything. Beds were comfortable, plenty of blankets and AC in the one room upstairs and the downstairs stayed very cool even on hot days. We had a few small issues while we were there and the owner was very fast to respond and communicative.

Overall layout of the house was great and it was very clean. There were amazing views of the lake and lots of comfy places to sit indoors or outside to enjoy the view or curl up with a good book. Kids enjoyed kayaking and paddle boarding and having s’mores and drinks by the fire was a great way to end each day. Owners were quick to respond when we had a question and they provide a lot of nice little touches that make it feel very homey. Would definitely recommend!

We had a wonderful time at Casa Luna! We swam the majority of the week. The grandchildren loved jumping off the end of the dock! My youngest grandchild played in the shallow area. We also used the kayaks, fished and enjoyed the fire pit. Checkers was a hit on rainy days and in the quiet mornings. The property has everything needed for a great vacation. We never left except for food shopping and an ice cream trip!

Wonderful house with everything to relax and enjoy a lakeside family vacation. Great layout for gathering together and relaxing separately with so many comfy seating areas. Especially loved sunset kayaking, fireside s’mores and the new lakeside deck.

Our stay was really great here. I stayed here with my wife’s two boys as she had passed away last July. It was sad without her but I know she would have really enjoyed this place. It had everything we needed and it was a hot week and yet the downstairs stayed cool and the upstairs bedroom had a really nice air conditioner. The lake was great for swimming and there was a paddle board as well as kayaks to use. You could jump right off the end of the dock as well. We also caught some good fish and even cooked up some white perch we caught. Overall great place to stay and I would recommend this spacious house!

We had an excellent vacation with an 3-generation family group which included a 1 year old. The home had pretty much everything you could need and the hosts we’re always very responsive and friendly. We particularly enjoyed the deck, fire pit, dock and kayaks…there were so many options for places to hang out together! We stayed 4th of July week and enjoyed the fireworks display put on by neighbors a couple of houses down. A couple of things to be aware of relative to accessibility for very young children and/or older guests would be the sloped lot and water accessibility only via dock (no beach). Also be aware that there is only a/c in the upstairs bedroom.

Perfect spot for our friendship getaway. Just as advertised with no surprises.

There was plenty of room for everyone to work remotely, the paddle board and kayak were appreciated, the morning coffee views were incredible. We even got to enjoy the northern lights over the lake. Communication with Ron was fast and any challenges were quickly resolved. Cannot wait to enjoy the property again. Thank you!

This was an excellent choice for my first trip ever organized by myself. Ron was super responsive to any questions or concerns that I had. Even when I thought it was too early or too late and there was no chance he would respond until the next day, he still responded quickly and was always helpful. The house had an amazing view of the lake, and we had a great time using the kayaks. While we spent most of our time out and about, I'd love to come back and just hang out in the house or at the lake. I also appreciated the little goodie basket they gave us with smores supplies and wine. Overall a great experience, would recommend.

Communication with Ron was fast and any challenges were quickly resolved. Cannot wait to enjoy the property again. Thank you!

We had an excellent vacation with an 3-generation family group which included a 1 year old. The home had pretty much everything you could need and the hosts we’re always very responsive and friendly. We particularly enjoyed the deck, fire pit, dock and kayaks…there were so many options for places to hang out together! We stayed 4th of July week and enjoyed the fireworks display put on by neighbors a couple of houses down. A couple of things to be aware of relative to accessibility for very young children and/or older guests would be the sloped lot and water accessibility only via dock (no beach). Also be aware that there is only a/c in the upstairs bedroom.

We loved the house and the location on the lake. So many great beautiful spots to sit with your coffee and relax or just pop in the water for a kayak or swim. The house had everything you need. They had thought of everything. Beds were comfortable, plenty of blankets and AC in the one room upstairs and the downstairs stayed very cool even on hot days. We had a few small issues while we were there and the owner was very fast to respond and communicative.

This is our second time staying here. We love it so much! The view is spectacular. The home is set up so there was plenty of room for my group of six to spread out. Can’t wait for next year!

Wonderful house with everything to relax and enjoy a lakeside family vacation. Great layout for gathering together and relaxing separately with so many comfy seating areas. Especially loved sunset kayaking, fireside s’mores and the new lakeside deck.

Our stay was really great here. I stayed here with my wife’s two boys as she had passed away last July. It was sad without her but I know she would have really enjoyed this place. It had everything we needed and it was a hot week and yet the downstairs stayed cool and the upstairs bedroom had a really nice air conditioner. The lake was great for swimming and there was a paddle board as well as kayaks to use. You could jump right off the end of the dock as well. We also caught some good fish and even cooked up some white perch we caught. Overall great place to stay and I would recommend this spacious house!

We had traveled in for a family wedding and had a great long weekend stay! The place was clean, it had great amenities, comfortable beds and so many great gathering spots for our family to hang out and enjoy time together. It was so peaceful. The lake was great! We really enjoyed the kayaks & paddle board. A very easy check in process too. We would definitely stay again!

This was an excellent choice for my first trip ever organized by myself. Ron was super responsive to any questions or concerns that I had. Even when I thought it was too early or too late and there was no chance he would respond until the next day, he still responded quickly and was always helpful. The house had an amazing view of the lake, and we had a great time using the kayaks. While we spent most of our time out and about, I'd love to come back and just hang out in the house or at the lake. I also appreciated the little goodie basket they gave us with smores supplies and wine. Overall a great experience, would recommend.

We had a wonderful time at Casa Luna! We swam the majority of the week. The grandchildren loved jumping off the end of the dock! My youngest grandchild played in the shallow area. We also used the kayaks, fished and enjoyed the fire pit. Checkers was a hit on rainy days and in the quiet mornings. The property has everything needed for a great vacation. We never left except for food shopping and an ice cream trip!

We had a great stay! The property was clean, well-maintained, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing trip. The check-in and check-out process was simple and straightforward.We hiked Blue Job Mountain and checked out a few local spots to eat nearby. While the weather didn’t fully cooperate, we made the most of it with board games, cards, and catching the NBA playoffs — all while spending quality time with friends.Thanks again for a great experience. Would definitely recommend!

Perfect spot for our friendship getaway. Just as advertised with no surprises. Comfortable beds, stocked supplies and outdoor amenities. 3 private spaces with a large common area perfect for our party of 5. Our first trip to NH - and we can’t wait to get back. Would stay in this same house all over again.

The view is incredible and the house has so many great places to sit and hang. We came for a girls weekend and it was perfect! Slight hiccup at the beginning with the electricity, but Ron was right on it, communicated well, and fixed the issue quickly.

We discovered this house at the last minute, after another property we booked on Lake Winnipesaukee was unavailable when we arrived due to a fuel oil leak. After the host agency was unable to relocate us to a comparable property, we were in a hotel, frantically searching for another house. After finally expanding our search to include smaller lakes, we found this house on Half Moon Lake. Ron responded almost immediately when I submitted the booking about 10pm, and even got us in early the next day so we could salvage as much as possible of our weekend, which was a family trip for my husband's 60th birthday. He even checked in with us a couple times to make sure we had everything we needed.The house was perfect. It was immaculate, beautifully decorated, very cozy, and had absolutely everything we could have needed. Beds were comfortable with quality linens, there were plenty of plush towels, lots of flexible, comfortable living space, and the kitchen was well stocked. There was even a basket with a s'mores kit on the counter, which we didn't make much use of due to the weather, but it was a thoughtful touch. It was a rainy weekend but we didn't care. We relaxed, enjoyed the beautiful view and played family games. My husband and my son fished off the dock and finally caught a large fish on our last day. We loved our stay, and would go back in a heartbeat, instead of the larger lake. Thank you Ron, for everything, and for saving our weekend trip. We hope to be back!
