What a terrific place , house was beautiful, clean and in a perfect spot on the lake. Re living my childhood days on the lake. I can't say enough about the hosts , so accommodating and always getting back to us quickly with any questions we had .
I was searching for a quiet, low key vacation to enjoy with my children and definitely found the perfect place. Being our first time renting a house that was only accessible by boat we weren’t sure what to expect. The house is laid out very well for the modest footprint and never felt crowded even when we had some additional guests. The children spent hours swimming and fishing around the dock with plenty of sunfish and small bass to keep them entertained. The dock height was a little too high for my small runabout boat so I would definitely recommend bringing a couple extra fenders. Passing boats tend to send a bit of rolling wake by the time it reaches the island. Weirs Beach, Alton, and Wolfeboro are all a pleasant cruise away and offer nice restaurants and a change of scenery. Lastly, on the recommendation of the host Kevin I launched from the town marina in Gilford. It’s a well run ramp with an attendant during the day and plenty of parking right next to the Marine Patrol Station. Overall an amazing place to spend a week!

About the host
Your host
I have lived in NH all my life, my wife and I wanted a family get away - thru years of hard work we built our slice of heaven or Diamond In the Rough, my boys and I would tent overnight on the island when it we first bought the land, we saved and built our home here. I want to extend our slice of heaven to others so they may enjoy.
Why they chose this property
It is quiet and peaceful, you wake up to the sounds of the water hitting the shore, lot is 1/2 acre but feels much larger with the undeveloped land behind it with walking paths for you and your family
What makes this property unique
You are in the center of the lake, and can go anywhere without too much trouble, you are 20min boat ride from Wolfeboro, Alton, Weirs Beach and others.
