Why Dave Barr chose Lakes Region
It's hard to describe .... that feeling when you know something is just right. Sounds crazy that we bought lake property in February but it felt so good and has been even better than we dreamed.
What makes this cottage unique
The Lodge was built in 1889 and the Cottages were added in the early 1950's so there is yesterday's rustic charm and today's conveniences. The sunsets, clear water, stars above the fire pit and the loons make us all warm & fuzzy.

Wonderful!

Vacation - Part 2 - Had to come back for more (yes, second time this summer!)
I am cozy in my cabin; and have everything I need to feel right at home. The lake and property always provide an overwhelming view of nature at its finest. I love kayaking with the loon families; and human families enjoying the water and each other! Day trips are always fun for kids and adults alike - music, theatre, mountains, climbing Mt. Washington on the Cog Railway, cruising Lake Winnipesaukee on the Mt. Washington "ship", frequenting the diners and seafood restaurants, and checking out local festivals. I am counting down to next year!!
Family Getaway in Lakeside Cabin - Complete with Great Friends and Many Adventures!
This vacation spot draws me back year after year. The cabin is comfortable; and has every convenience. My lake family (great friends) are truly wonderful; and I always look forward to them as part of my outstanding vacation. Adventures consist of swimming, kayaking, day trips to NH and Maine fairs, band concerts, outlet shopping, terrific restaurants, and great family fun. Yes, I am booked for next year!
Spectacular cottage for lakeside vacation
I am counting down to my second vacation this summer in this cabin on scenic, peaceful Great East Lake. I have spent a portion of the past 17 summers in this cottage; and eagerly anticipate every vacation as if it was the first. We had three generations the past two years between the two bedrooms and loft. Every day brought new adventures and family fun - kayaking, enjoying loons, swimming, paddleboarding, day trips into Maine and local small towns, 4th of July parade, band concerts, fireworks, hiking, s'mores, roasted marshmallows, and board games at night - lots of laughter and lots of love. The cottage is beautifully decorated; and filled with all the conveniences of home. Dave and MB have always been the friendliest, most helpful hosts; and fast friends. I cannot give the vacation experience offered here enough stars - five is not enough!

It was a truly fun vacation!
A sign in the bathroom reads “What happens at the lake stays at the lake”. The cabin we stayed was about 50 feet from the water on a gentle slope, cheerfully decorated with signs like this and other nautical relics. From the bedroom windows, we could see the lake through the trees. The owners have an artistic taste when it comes to interior design and we appreciated the rustic lake house ambiance and the colors of the accent walls.
We spent the Memorial Day weekend here, which turned out to be among the best vacations we have had. The hosts, Dave and MB, happened to be there as well, which was very helpful. Dave showed us around the property when we first got there: a collection of kayaks and stand up boards, a paddle boat, a playroom with a pool table and ping pong among other games.
The morning on the lake was tranquil and soothing. As it faces west, the lights were not so bright, and it was very comfortable for reading. Sitting on one of the colorful Adirondack chairs, having feet up on a bean bag cube, you knew you’re really on vacation. A day would go by quickly as there were many things to do: kayaking, stand up boarding (which was our first time), and swimming (the water was a little cold but sobering – like having a chilled beer on a hot day). To dry up, we played pool and ping pong in the playroom, which is above the boat house, with a balcony facing the lake. Several colorful wooden chairs are on the balcony, where one could sit comfortably to watch the sunset at the lake.
The water was super clear so we could easily see the rocks on the bottom. Sitting on a swing over the water was another small treat not to miss, which was good any time during the day. Dave and MB would come by, and we would exchange some pleasantries about the day, the weather, and the life on the lake. Mini and Sushi, the two lively animals you can see from owners’ picture, would often come along and play with us. Mini is the younger one, intelligent, very friendly and playful.
The nearest “town” is about four miles away and the only supermarket there has an excellent meat department (for the grill), as well as everything else one may need for the weekend. The place is far away from the suburban life we want to escape but also has all the necessary conveniences to feel connected.
To our hosts, Dave and MB, thank you! And we will certainly come back to see you in the future.
Ultimate Lakeside Family Vacation
This vacation is the first of two I will spend this summer at this truly charming lakeside cottage. We had an amazing two weeks of relaxation and adventure. The cottage is beautifully decorated; and equipped with everything you need to feel at home. Our family enjoyed kayaking, visiting with our Lake Family - Hosts Dave and MB; and other visiting families, listening to loons, swimming, paddleboarding, relaxing to spectacular sunsets, singing by the bonfire at night, day trips, 4th of July on the lake, and great weather. We look forward to our return in August; and have already booked next year! Dave and MB have created a beautiful property with the cabins and lodge; are delightful hosts; and have become true friends. This is my ultimate vacation choice; and I savor every summer on the lake.
