We loved camping at the site. The amenities were excellent, and the hot tub was super clean. Overall, the experience was 5 stars.
This is in no way to denigrate or take away from the positive review. This is only a suggestion moving forward. When we arrived, we were informed that we were unable to use the fire pit because there was a statewide ban due to a drought in New Hampshire. This is no way the problem of the owner of the site. It is out of their control. However, it would have been nice to know upon booking as doing a campfire is an integral part of the camping experience. The site still receives 5 stars :)

We love this camp site! It literally has everything you would need! Morning coffee on the deck in the Adirondack chairs is the most peaceful and best way to start the day. We love taking the boats out on the lake and taking a dip in the hot tub. This was our third time going to this site and we are looking forward to coming back in the future!

This is a great camping spot. The nearby waterfall provides a constant blanket of sound that insulates you from the outside world so it feels very isolated without being "in the middle of nowhere". It is well equipped with everything you could need (except food & clothes) and the host provides lots of info about local things to do.

Cozy peaceful slot. Well run by ownership. Close amenities if any food or drink items are needed. Great fishing views and everything you need for a nice little escape.

Certainly better accommodations than expected. The tent site was private and had all the essentials you could need. Just bring your fishing rod, a meal, and your favorite drink. Our children loved “living” on the tent site for the weekend. They are already asking the next time we can go. Thank you for a perfect weekend to bid farewell to summer.

4 nights at Tiny House, Horse Trailer, S Tent
This spot was so cute! The teeny house where I stayed with my dogs was great and had updates from what is seen in the listing. I was surprised that there were like no bugs, didn’t have to spray the site at all. They aren’t kidding about it being “teeny” though- you can’t open the door all the way to get in haha but it was great otherwise!

This was a unique and fun experience! I think the Horse Trailer is the Best Option! Just enough space for 2 people and 2 dogs. Waking up you have a front view of the picture perfect water view. Bond fire available and grill. Two swinging tree chairs were very comfy and a great place to sit down with a morning coffee and see the natural beauty around you. From kayaks, to hot tub, to hiking, so much to do! The owner and manager was super helpful and friendly. Defiantly would come back!

We loved the teeny tiny house, it was so cute. It was great to wake up and have coffee right on the water especially being able to paddle around on our personal rowboat. It had everything we needed. The bed is a little firm so bring extra blankets if that's not your thing, but we were comfortable. The amenities were affordably priced and everyone there was so friendly.

My family and I loved the quiet and peaceful place, sleeping with the sound of the water, getting up, lighting the bonfire, and above all, our two dogs accompanied us and enjoyed themselves. It was two unforgettable days.
Samantha was very kind and showed us everything we had access to. I hope it's a place to return to soon.

The safari tent site is perfect. Very private. The screen house was awesome for when it got a bit too buggy or for games when it was drizzling. We had a great time.

Weekend Trip to Tiny House, Horse Trailer, S Tent
We were very pleased with The Rustic Chic Retreat. The site we rented had the mini renovated horse trailer. It is unique, clean, comfortable and very well stocked. The whole site is amazing! You’ve got your own bathroom shed, fire pit with available wood, multiple chairs for lounging, a covered and screened eating area, ability to shower and wash dishes, your own jug of water which is refillable, not to mention the beautiful view of Powder Mill Pond! Everything in and on the trailer was easy to operate. We were able to follow the train tracks and walk to the quaint downtown area for breakfast and visit the general store. We borrowed a boat to enjoy the pond which is available at the small campground beach. There’s even a bench swing, gazebo and hot tub available on the grounds! This was our first time glamping (we always tent camp) and now realize what a treat it is to have everything there already, things you may not have thought about. For us, this was better than renting a hotel room to get away for three days! Honestly, I just wanted to stay there longer. Thank you so so much, Donna, we love your place!

We had a perfect stay at the Safari Tent - what a beautiful spot with a perfect setup and caring hospitality. The camp site felt secluded and private, yet not far from our car if we needed to get something. The tent with air mattresses worked well (they even had spares just in case), while the screened-in dining area, clean latrine, fire pit with chairs and ample firewood supply, as well as sturdy picnic table with work bench for our cooking setup made our site feel complete and comfortable with minimal effort. The best part was the sound of the waterfall had me sleeping like a baby all night :)
We made use of the kayaks for fishing and racing across the scenic pond, and the hot tub in the evening to relax after a day of adventuring. Lots to see in the region - I highly recommend the White Birch General Store in town for fine coffee and sandwiches, and Pack Monadnock mountain for a good hike that leads to spectacular views!
Our host was very welcoming, gave us space to be on our own but provided prompt support when we reached out with questions. I'd be very happy to visit again, and recommend this place to those seeking an easy and beautiful place to stay.

We had a great time in the Teeny House! It was so peaceful and relaxing. We spent most of our time sitting on the deck and just enjoying the quiet. We did use the little beach they have available and our dog LOVED it, she played fetch for hours and happily frolicked in the sand. We will absolutely be back at some point and for a longer stay for sure!

Me and my two friends had a wonderful stay at the safari tent! Donna was super informative and welcoming. The tent itself had everything we needed including storage and lanterns. They also recently added another outdoor patio area that was tented in that was perfect for food and games away from bugs (which there were a lot of, not that there is much they can do about that). Would come again!

The trailer was amazing comfortable and cozy and well stocked. It was very unique. The site was large and view was great! We had our dogs with us and they had plenty of room to roam around on long leases.
