Another great week at Winnisquam

We enjoyed our week at the lake, swimming, kayaking (we rented kayaks from Outdoor New England in Franklin, which will deliver for the week) and simply relaxing. We saw the resident bald eagles several times, as well as loons and kingfishers. A lovely time away from it all.

A great vacation spot

The camp is simple and clean and cozy. Nothing fancy but well maintained and comfortable. It’s on a quiet street. There is beautiful swimming off the dock, free of weeds and muck. We saw loons, a bald eagle and humming birds. The view of the lake is so pretty. It’s great to enjoy a cup of coffee and a good book out on the sunny deck. We had deliscious dinners around the spacious dining room table. It’s a great place to relax and enjoy lake lake.

Beautiful Views!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had an amazing week on Lake Winnisquam. The lake is beautiful and clear. There was so much to do in the area, yet we were able to relax since the property is located in a quiet, private community. The decks and windows facing the lake made the property our first choice for our vacation. Inside, there was everything we needed and the mattresses were very comfortable. This is a well loved family home with a few new furniture and appliance additions, but mostly kept simple, giving one a vintage, "camp" feel. We would definitely return again!

Wonderful lake house

We had a fabulous week at this lovely house on Lake Winnisquam. We love the old timey feel of the house, and the views can't be beat. We spent most of our time playing cards and games on the deck and swimming from the dock to the large rock that is near the white marker. Also, rented kayaks for the week and did quite a bit of kayaking...saw bald eagles, kingfishers, herons and loons. A wonderful relaxing time!

A lovely lakeside summer camp

This camp was just what we all needed. We loved the swimming, the water was clean and clear with a nice dock to sit on or dock a kayak or boat. The camp was plenty spacious and cozy for all six of us. We had many delicious dinners around the big dining table, cooked in the well equipped kitchen. After dinner we enjoyed the view on the deck as the sun set. Its located on a quiet dead end street close to stores and restaurants. The lake was busy with boat traffic in the middle of the day but we enjoyed watching all the action. We heard and saw loons, humming birds wrens and osprey. The nights were quiet and good for sleeping. This is not a fancy camp but one that makes you feel like you are slowing down and enjoying the simple, peaceful life.

Great swimming, busy lake

We had a wonderful time at this camp, enjoying beautiful weather for swimming and kayaking. The water is very clear and clean, and the bottom is pretty sandy/rocky. The lake is quite shallow near shore (maybe about 3 ft deep...shallow enough that we were not tempted to dive off of the dock) and for quite a ways out, which made it a good place for my nine-year-old to swim without any concern that he was over his head. After a while, it drops off to about 20 feet deep. There is a rock you can swim out to and stand on (it is just a little bit below the surface) near the buoy. This made a great destination for us – we swam out with inflatable tubes every day. It is important to know that this lake hosts a lot of motorboat and skidoo traffic, so it is not as tranquil as some lakes. It tends to be quieter in the morning, or after dinner, so that's when we did most of our kayaking. If you kayak to the right, down the lake towards the marina in Belmont, you eventually come to a little river. This was the most undeveloped area on the lake we found, and kayaking up the river we saw a pair of kingfishers, as well as a solitary sandpiper and some phoebes. Out on the lake, we saw osprey, loons and a couple of times bald eagles soaring overhead. The view was really lovely, the beds were comfortable, and the kitchen was well-equipped. The freezer did have a habit of leaking water onto the floor -- not exactly sure why, as it seemed to work fine otherwise. There were neighbors close by on each side, but they were friendly. Overall, a great vacation!

Response from VrboOwner on 30 Aug, 2021
Thanks for your review. Very glad to hear you had a great vacation. A couple of points, however. First, relative to the dock and water depth. For decades kids, dogs and adults have been running and jumping off of the end of the dock for some great fun. Sounds like this is more a personal concern of yours. The impression you have left relative to boat traffic is too pejorative. Traffic on weekends can be heavy, but during the week the traffic is much lighter. Boat traffic is not heavy all week long. And, to reinforce what you pointed out, boat traffic is heaviest in the middle of the day on weekends. Generally the lake is very accessible; it has been enjoyed by all for decades. So, the issue here again may be with your expectations. As to the leak in the freezer, that happens when the freezer door is not firmly pushed in all the way. If that is not the case, then warm air gets in and moisture is formed. Then leaks start. So, I am not sure what you all did or if you read the note on the fridge noting that the freezer door needs to be pushed in all the way. If you had reached out to me, I would have given you this guidance. Again, very glad to hear you enjoyed our family camp.

Great family camp

The property was a great family camp. The location was perfect. It was quiet and relaxing. Directly in the water. Good for swimming off the dock, the water was only about 4ft deep. Very easy check-in and checkout. I did have to do a little work and the wifi worked great.

Just what our family needed

We had such a wonderful stay! This property had everything that is needed for a true lake cottage/home. It’s not modern as others have stated but it’s what I’d expect a lake cottage to feel like, simple and relaxing. I actually appreciated the nostalgic feel when it seems so many older homes have been replaced by larger bee homes. The view out the windows and from the deck is gorgeous. We made some wonderful family memories boating (easy renting from nearby marina), playing games, swimming, etc. Will definitely like to return again!

Relaxing, Comfortable Vacation

William, the property owner greeted us upon our arrival. He was very gracious, accommodating and informative. He even checked in with us after a few days to see how we were! The home, directly on the water, was perfect for my husband's boat and he got in a lot of bass fishing! It was so relaxing and peaceful. Our friend brought his motorcycle for touring and he enjoyed riding during the day. It was well stocked with paper goods, condiments, dishes, utensils, etc., even though we brought most of our own, it was nice to know we had backup. Washer/dryer was a plus, too! Beds were extremely comfortable. It's not a 5 star hotel, but a big ole really comfortable lake house! Just a suggestion, a larger TV and air conditioning would make it perfect! Who am I kidding? It was just wonderful! We're hoping to return next year! Thank you for allowing us to stay in your home Bill! 😎 Barbara & Roy Costa

This is exactly what the previous reviews said it would be. Rustic and hot, but with a beautiful location. We had a great time here, but it's not luxurious. I highly recommend if you want a decently priced place right on the lake.

Appreciate your comments and glad you all had a good time at the Camp. We have deliberately kept the knotty pine decor and the original windows to create the look and feel of a traditional summer camp. All of the systems, however, have been updated. Very recent improvements are comfort height toilets and a new smooth top stove. The high temperatures the first four days of your stay were in excess of ninety degrees; on two days ninety five was the high temp. So, while the Camp does have good drafts and the lake is available to cool off, it was the hot and close to record setting temperatures that made the Camp feel hot. To help ameliorate this, will invest in two more box fans. Would welcome you all back next year if you so desire. Thank you.

Relaxing getaway with gorgeous views

The rental process was easy. We paid for key delivery services so we could get right inside. The property manager gave us a welcome bag with info about things to do in the area. They also shared the list of general rules for rental and those specific to the property. The actual cottage space was great for our purposes. Having a 2nd bathroom was a nice perk while traveling with teenagers as well as WiFi for their devices. The views from the cottage were beautiful! Plenty of sleeping spaces for the 6 of us. Luckily we had nice weather because we didn’t even need to turn on the small tv. Renters may want to bring a larger screen with them if you plan to watch movies as a family or big group. The land around the property was limited for active kids- not really space for them to run around without getting into neighbors business. We spent most of our time on the dock or in the lake because we had great weather during our stay. The water is clean and shallow (you have to swim/walk out very far to get up to your shoulders deep). This would be a plus for younger families, but older kids can’t really dive or jump off the dock. My only other wish for the property would be a fire pit of some sort, but I understand the hazards the an owner may not want to risk. The multi level decks allowed us to enjoy the views peacefully. Caution for families with younger kids that one deck level does not have railings so you’ll have to watch out for adventurous little ones. We didn’t mind because we didn’t want rails in the way of the views. Overall this place was a great space to spend the week.

Dear Susan S. Thank you very much for sharing your comments. I do appreciate your feedback. I also apologize if your stay at our family camp did not meet your expectations. I take responsibility for not communicating and emphasizing that this is a waterfront oriented property with great swimming and boating opportunities. Your comments relative to the dock and swimming are understood, but I cannot change the topography of the lake bottom. Kids, dogs and adults have indeed jumped off the end of our dock for years. Many families over the years have enjoyed the easy access to the lake and all the swimming and games that come with that. Many have also commented that this relatively private family camp has just the right balance of views, lake activity, family game time and technology for a wonderful stay. I would welcome you back if you so choose.

Incredible views on Lake Winnisquam - yes, but

The views from the home are amazing. The decks (2), the dock and the beach are hard to beat! The location on the lake is perfect and the location to area conveniences is great. The home is very comfortable. For those reasons I could be persuaded to rent again but it would take a lot of persuasion and some changes. These are observations to be concerned with if renting this property. It is campy and that's OK but if looking for luxury it is not here. When taking a shower make sure nobody else uses water anywhere. There are no electrical outlets in either bathroom. The toilets are 1950's small, even for a normal sized adult. There are fans but no AC if you think you might need it. I've rented (not this property) for 10 plus years and have always done this with VRBO. For some reason when renting this property through VRBO it gets handled by Bayside Rentals in Meredith NH. The keys need to be picked up and dropped off at Bayside Rental. In my case I needed to drive 30 minutes PAST the property and 30 minutes back to the property on my arrival and 30 minutes further from home to drop the keys off. Obviously where you live is "key" in this situation. Every property I've rented in the lakes region has had a lock box with keys at the property. This property needs this. A minor but annoying inconvenience.

Dear Bill H. Thank you very much for sharing your comments. I do appreciate your feedback. I also apologize if your stay at our family camp did not meet your expectations. I take responsibility for not clarifying in the property description that the camp is not a modern hotel type facility, but instead is a very comfortable vintage type summer cottage with updated appliances, furniture and mattresses. I also take responsibility for not noting that there are indeed outlets on the lamp fixtures in the bathrooms to plug in hair dryers or other products. The toilets have been replaced with American Standard comfort height elongated seat toilets. The water pressure issue has been remedied. Folks have stayed cool over the years by using the lake, particularly for a night swim before retiring. Your issue with obtaining keys to the property has been resolved; lock boxes are now at the property. I would welcome you back if you so choose
