At the House, you can take Leisurely Walks or Bike down our private road, Nap in the Sunshine on your Private Dock, Front Yard or Hammock, Sip a Cool Drink from your Deck as you Watch the Spectacular Sunsets transform through their range in colors. You might also enjoy Playing Billiards or Foosball in the Game Room, Spending an afternoon Playing Yard or Board Games or Piecing Together Puzzles on the Porch. There are many places to gather as a group, and there are also many options for retreat. The house is well-designed for Guests of all Ages. A well stocked Hannaford Grocery Store/Pharmacy is minutes away as are Restaurants, Banks, Gas Stations, Churches and Playgrounds.
The area offers SO MUCH TO DO, such as: Enjoying a day at a Local Playground, Riding Molly the Trolley, Visiting Hands-On Klickety-Klack Model Railroad Museum, a World War II Museum as well as beautiful Castle in the Clouds, Biking, Taking a Train Ride, Storyland, Clark's Trading Post, Water Country, or Gunstock, Attending a Live Meadowbrook Concert with Nationally-Acclaimed Artists, Attending a Nascar Race in Loudon or Soulfest in Gilford, visiting Summer Outdoor Theater at Prescott Park in Historic Portsmouth or an Outdoor Concert at a Bandstand in Alton Bay or Wolfeboro, Visiting the Planetarium in Concord or Licking your favorite Ice Cream Cone in Wolfeboro or Alton Bay at the Town Docks while Watching all the Boat Activity. You can Catch a Movie, Find Bargains at the Outlet Malls in North Conway or Tilton, Attend Craft Fairs with local artisans in Alton Bay, Wolfeboro or at Gunstock, Go Bowling or Driving the Go-Carts at FunSpot and Play Mini-Golf right here in Alton Bay.

Why the Owner Chose Alton
We were blessed as a family to be able to grow up on Winnipesaukee, and
have always appreciated its beauty and all the adventure and activity that
it has to offer. When you're at the Lake, you experience a sense of peacefulness
and retreat that's so wonderful!
The Unique Benefits at this House
So many of the things that we enjoy doing while at the Lake house involve the water, the escape from our daily routines and just being together making memories. Whether it's swimming in the refreshing and clear waters on a hot summer afternoon, taking in a sunset off the deck with our feet up on the rail or playing board games for hours in the lakeside screen porch while the evening breezes blow gently through the house, each day holds it's own surprises. The Lakes Region is a destination resort area which offers something for every interest.
Public Boat docks, ice cream stands, MV Mt Washington cruises, Molly the Trolley, Klickety Klack Railroad, Summer Gazebo concert series, shopping, great restaurants.

We just enjoyed a great rental experience at this Lake Winnipesaukee home. The house was perfect for our 9 person family vacation. The beds are comfortable, the scenery spectacular. We have been renting at various locations around the lake for the past 30 years. This location was definitely one of our best experiences. John and Diane are great to work with.
Owner response:Thanks so much for your feedback! We're so glad that you found the beds to be comfortable. September really is a wonderful time to come to the lake! We're thrilled that you had a great week together at our Lake House and are honored that you chose to trust us with your stay. We'll hope to see you again sometime!

We thoroughly enjoyed the week and all the activities available to us. We did have a large group, but your home worked for us seamlessly and without any major problems. My family and I have traveled all over the U.S. every summer and the Winnipesaukee vacation has taken one of, if not the top spot on the fun list. This year’s vacation was close to home which made it very affordable. Not having an agenda was the key to a great and relaxing week away from work and school. Thank you again and we look forward to visiting Alton in the near future.

Review Submitted: 07/15/11
My family of 9 just loved this vacation home. We have great memories from playing Twister on the back porch, fishing off the dock, eating dinner on the great deck with wonderful views of the lake. I would highly recomend this home. It is everything they say, very clean and well maintained and John was very available for all our needs. My grandchildren loved the large basement with the pool table and we all enjoyed kayaking. Everynight was a great sunset. I hope to be back someday.
Owner response:Thanks for your kind review and for allowing us to be a part of your family vacation! We're so happy that you took advantage of the fishing opportunity on the dock and that you were able to enjoy some of the games that we provided. Twister can definately bring families even closer! : ) We thoroughly enjoyed having you and would love to have you stay with us again!

My family and very good friends of ours had the pleasure of staying in this house for Memorial Day weekend. I think this house is located in one of the most beautiful spots on the Lake! Both of our families have small children and this house was perfect! The kids fished off the dock, went out in a boat and generally just ran around until they passed out. The game room was a great hang-out spot for them. The house was very well taken care of - very clean and everything was exactly where it was supposed to be. We all had a great time grilling on the deck and having smores by the fire pit - all with a perfect view! We hope to make this a yearly visit!
Owner response:We're so happy to hear that your family had an enjoyable stay at our Lake House! It is an amazing location on the Lake! The house was made for families to enjoy together and it sounds as though you did just that. We also have fond memories of hours spent fishing on the dock with our own children. Ahhhh....the simple pleasures... We'll look forward to seeing you again!

A great time was had by all 13 family members. We vacationed with 8 adults and 5 children. This lake house offered every family its own private room and like the desription stated the downstairs bedroom was perfect for the grandparents. The children enjoyed their very own game room, which was perfect when the little ones went to bed. The house did come very well equiped with appliances and gas grill. They also supplied a pack and play and child booster with tray, which was so nice instead of having to pack them. They had ample amounts of lounges and chairs. We roasted marshmellows in the fire pit. The owners supplied us with a book of local activities,rental stores for boats, wave runners etc. They also left us a bottle of wine welcoming us into their home and told us to use their home as we would our own. The views from the house were awesome. The sunsets were incredible. This house was perfectly located. Not to close to town and not to far. Boat traffic was minimal in the cove which was nice for swimming and snorkeling. The swimming area was clear and protected.. The dock allowed us to fish and keep a rented boat for the week we vacationed. We would recommend this house to any family wanting to enjoy a family vacation or weekend getaway.
Owner response:It sounds as though the kids really enjoyed the extra space that the game room has to offer and we're happy that you were able to use the pack 'n play and highchair for the little ones. The private waterfront is well protected and is also one of our favorite places to spend time while at the house! And...it sounds as though you discovered a great way to end each day....gathered together around the outdoor firepit roasting marshmellows and s'mores! We're very happy that you were able to join us!
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, sightseeing, age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers.
