Weekend Visit for UNH Family Weekend

This was the perfect spot for a quick weekend trip up for UNH Family Weekend. Reasonable distance to UNH and so much nicer than staying in a hotel. 2BR perfect for my wife and I to share with another couple. Great kitchen and views with the lake. Wish the weather was a little nicer to enjoy the lake and the firepit more but with Freshman we'll definitely look to return during future visits to UNH over the next few years.

Lakeside serenity

Our family had a wonderful stay at Swainns lake. The home is very clean and comfortable. There are beautiful views from the kitchen and living spaces and the gas fireplaces in the living rooms make for a cozy evening. The outdoor space has ample seating, beach, and fireplace for just enjoying time by the water. The lake isn't the best for swimming as it has an abundance of weeds (bladderwort) but the kayaking/paddling is very fun with islands to explore and some decent fishing as well.

Unforgettable vacation

Kris and Dave's house is perfectly located near a lake. Every morning we woke up to a beautiful lake view for breakfast. They left detailed instruction to the house and what's nearby for fun. We felt like home right away. Our family enjoyed fishing, kayaking around the lake, and hiking around the nearby trails. It is a calm and quiet vacation and exactly what we need.

Beautiful home

Home is beautiful and well appointed, we had just never stayed somewhere with other people on the property. And owners were very respectful. But very strange and awkward, did not feel private.

About the host

Hosted by Kristine Zuniga

We are empty nesters after having brought up 4 children on the west coast. We bought our home in 2014 and have been slowly making it our own. David is retired and the full time caretaker of our property whereas Kris is still working full time as a Lactation RN and helping out on her days off. We both love to travel but we don't necesarrily like being tourists. We love to learn, live and respect the culture of wherever we go. We plan to continue to travel more, locally, in the US and abroad whenever we can.

Why they chose this property

Kris grew up on a lake in Southern NH and had been use to lake life before moving to Southern CA. When this property became available, we fell in love with the setting, deciding to totally change our lifestyle! No matter what the season, our views are beautiful! It is so peaceful and tranquil at our little spot! A perfect place to relax, unwind and have fun!

What makes this property unique

We fell in love immediately with the setting, surrounded by woods and water. The home, is light and airy with exposed, wooden cathedral ceilings in the living areas and master bedroom, so many windows and skylights bringing the sites and sounds of nature right into the home. If up early enough, you can view the beautiful sunrise through the trees over the lake or from a chair on the dock! Nights can be spent with friends and family under the stars around the firepit on the beach.
