Long ago (great) memories of cabin "D"

I stumbled across this web site and almost fell down. My family rented Cabin D for something like 40 years. I myself spent time in D from 6 mos to 12 years. My mothers family started going to Newfound Lake in 1922! I thought that was when they began renting D but perhaps that was even before Bungalow Village was in business, but I can tell you that they started going to Bungalow Villege almost from day one. My mother went to the lake for over 70 years! My sister still goes to the lake and she has gone for over 70 years. After we stopped going to "D" we went elsewhere on the lake, as I said my sister and her family still do. I have not been in many, many years. What I do remember about Bungalow Village and Cabil D is that the Nelson family owned it and I think they were teachers in Massachusetts the rest of the year. The cottage itself had 2 murphy bed which folded out of the walls. The table folded out of the front wall and you could store canned goods where the table had been when against the wall. We had an ice chest on the porch and got ice from an ice house just down the street...ice which had been cut from the lake during the winter. There was no hot water and the bathroom was just a commode. There was a pot belly stove for warmth when things got chilly. The "Key" building was a community hal where movies would be shown weekly. There was a little green cottage right on the beach. It was owned by the Roby family and, as I said, was right on the beach. I remember when there was a camp on the island. As a matter of fact I remember there were a number of camps which I understand are long gone...Tomahawk, Red Fox etc, etc. Rand's General Store was just up the beach. There was a movie theater down town and a restaurant which, if memory serves, was the Grace Louise. Maybelle's bakery was a must go to for goodies. From talking to family members I understand that the beach in front of the cottages is now public but was private when my family went there. So amny happy memories so long ago. Good luck to anyone who rents "D" it really has quite a history.

I used to come to Newfound Lake to these cottages when they were refered to as Bunglow Village when I was a couple months old till the time I was 17. I have some of my best memories from up on that hill looking down at the lake . I am now 29 and I am excited to start planning a trip back there to Cabin D. Now this time I can make new memories as an adult !!!

my family and friends stayed at Bungalo Village for 10 straight summers! We have the best memories from the rec hall, the campfires and Paul, the rec hall dances, Doug & Madeline, catching rides on Doug's golf cart, the beach, cookouts, and MANY MANY MORE!!! I cannot say enough good things about these lake front cottages. Simply the best times of our lives!!

awesome place for kids to play and the parents to relax and enjoy the wonderful views of the lake especially when we go up in the fall.We go twice a year to the same cabin.Everything you need is in the cabin.

I stayed in one of these cottages in 1974....it was the most peaceful, serene place I have ever been. Someday, I hope to go back.
