We had a great time staying at this cottage. Location was perfect and Marie & Jerry were very welcoming. Communication was outstanding. Anything we needed, they were quick to reply and give us helpful suggestions. We would definitely recommend staying here. Even with 6 adults we had plenty of room. Our family had a wonderful vacation and hope to come back soon.

Great Stay

We have a very nice week and our hosts Marie and Gerry were very nice and didn’t intrude at all. The cottage was clean and we had lots of nice breezes. My favorite thing to do was sit by the water and look out NJ on the lake. Very relaxing.

Wonderful place to get away!

We had a wonderful week at "The Cottage" as we affectionately called it! We immediately felt relaxed and at home when we arrived. If you are looking for a place just to get away from it all for a bit, this place is it! We used the kayaks, and paddleboards every morning and enjoyed the sunsets on the beach every night. Our 9 year old son even caught his first fish right off the dock. A truly memorable experience and a truly memorable place!

Wonderful people

Marie and Jerry were beyond the best hosts ever. I was a bit hesitant staying on property with the owners, but they made me feel at home and comfortable right away. They were very friendly, but not overwhelming. The property was perfect for four teenagers and two adults. The washer and dryer was a huge convenience when you don’t want to pack a lot of clothes. It was a wonderful relaxing time I highly recommend it!

AMAZING Family Vacation

Our stay at Marie and Jerry's place was nothing less than perfect. From the second we arrived, to the time we left, they were exceptionally hospitable, and issues/questions we had were taken care of IMMEDIATELY. It was my wife, stepson, daughter in law, and two granddaughters, and myself, and we all had such an incredible time enjoying the lake, small private beach, swimming, kayaking( I brought my own , but the second they saw us, they immediately offered the use of they kayaks). They even offered the use of their own grandchildren's toys to our 2 granddaughters. Our granddaughters became friendly with their grandchildren right away, and their parents were very welcoming and helpful with ours. IMy wife and I can't say enough about this property and especially Marie and Jerry and their family's hospitality. Thank you to them for making such memories with our granddaughters , and the rest of our family.

Beautiful lake side cottage

Beautiful 3 bedroom cottage right on Lake Winnipesaukee. There is a 2 person kayak, a single paddle board/kayak (although 2 kids can use it if one kneels) and a 2 person canoe (a third person can use it if you are careful). The cottage is fully equipped with a kitchen, cookware, plates, utensils, cups, a microwave, toaster, blender and coffee maker. There are 3 bedroom: one with a queen bed and the other 2 each have 2 twin beds. There is an electric fireplace and TV with cable in the living room. If you prefer streaming TV or Netflix just bring your Fire Stick it will plug into the TV. Bathroom is fully stocked with TP as well. Owners are very nice and very responsive. Definitely recommend this place! If you go for sure check take a ride in the sea plane as well! If you are hungry stop at the market JoJo's right down the street and get their homemade sausage. You won't be disappointed!!!

Beautiful Lakeside Cottage with Easy Water Access

Our family of 5 had a great time at Jerry and Marie's place! They are warm and welcoming hosts, and Jerry even took us out on their boat to see Lake Winnipesaukee. Despite a few days of rain, we never ran out of things to do. Jerry recommended Castle in the Clouds and a specific hike that our kids (ages 3, 6, and 9) were able to complete. We saw beautiful waterfalls and toured the "castle" after having lunch there. The nearby town of Meredith also had a lot of fun things to do: a train ride, boardwalk with arcade and shops, and a quaint downtown with shops and great restaurants. The cottage was clean and comfortable. My husband and I enjoyed sitting on the screened in porch every evening after the kids went to bed, and we all ate dinner out there every night. The kitchen was stocked with all the basic supplies, so I had no trouble cooking meals. The best part was the amazing view of Lake Winni and easy access to the water. We just walked behind the cottage and had a nice deck with chairs to sit on, a dock with chairs, and a large beach area for the kids to play. The water near the beach is shallow enough that our kids happily played there all day. We are definitely planning to return next summer!

Get busy or relax at Lake Winni.

Our hosts went out of their way to make us welcome. We chose this property because of the dock where we could keep our 21' Sailboat. Also, the location is sheltered from large waves that can be a problem at other locations on the big lake. Jerry took us in his boat to check out the nearby boat launch. This saved us a lot of time. The cottage is charming and welcoming. Our first few days were cold and rainy. The electric fireplace took off the chill. We had a good view of the water from the couch and small table where we ate. After the weather cleared, we enjoyed many things. For relaxing, I sat on the swing, which is really a converted ski lift chair. The we spent time sitting with family on the small patio, overlooking the private beach, with an expansive view of the lake. For activities, the swimming was great. We tried the Versa board and sailed our boat. Overall, what made this property good for us was the location. It is near the Long Island boat launch, and sheltered from rough water. The cottage is small but perfect for us as a party of 3.

Filthy

This place was very dirty upon our arrival and it was obvious that no cleaning had occurred after previous renters. Cob webs and dead bugs were abundant in every room. The shower was dirty, the tables were caked with dirt and dust, I had to clean dirt and leaves off the mattress, the floors were obviously not cleaned or mopped, used tissues were left about from previous renters . You do not have privacy inside where you will be in the line of view every time you go to or leave the bathroom. There were kids pressing their faces against the windows staring at us and asking who we were multiple times. We left after staying less than 48 hours and were refunded for about 1 day after paying for a full week. The owners indicated they hired a cleaning company for the next people at least and that we “do not deserve a refund”. I’m not sure why we were not given the courtesy of being able to rent a place that was at least somewhat clean as my child was covered in cobwebs after touching the coffee table in the living room. No cleaning supplies were present at the rental either so we would have had to go out and purchase everything then spend more time cleaning the entire place . Out of concern for the health of our baby we needed to leave. I hope others have a better experience.

Absolutely fantastic vacation!

I can't say enough good things about our time at the Lake! My boyfriend and I stayed at the cottage with his two children, ages 8 and 11. From the moment we pulled into the driveway we were overwhelmed! The lake is literally right in the backyard, which is a few short steps from the cottage. You walk first onto a fairly big deck, used exclusively by renters, and from there down onto a good sized sandy beach, occasionally shared by the homeowners, who are fantastic people. They were so welcoming and kind from the first day, and even offered to take the kids out on a boatride around the lake, which they LOVED! During the week, the property is pretty quiet, as the owners live/work elsewhere, which made for some very relaxing days catching some rays on the dock! They allowed us use of some of their boating equipment, including a canoe, versaboard, and sailboat- so much fun! The four of us were able to explore the lake together, which was great. The area of Moultonborough where the property is located is about 20-25 minutes away from Meredith, where there is a lot more shopping and action. BUT, I prefer the quiet almost country feel of Moultonborough to anything else- plus there is a small store called Jojo's right down the street for anything you may need to pick up without wanting to drive very far. Any activities one would want to do with kids are pretty close by- you never have to drive more than 20-45 minutes to have a fun filled afternoon, which we loved about the vacation. And at the end of the day we're right back at the most beautiful, serene spot one could ask for! We were able to set up a badminton net in the yard; we grilled almost every night and ate dinner in the huge open porch attached to the cottage. The master bedroom is amazing- waking up to waterviews is pretty tough to beat. The owners allowed us use of their firepit for our smores night- such a great time! All in all, I hope to come back to this cottage every summer- it really exceeded our expectations, to say the least! It doesn't hurt that the owners go out of their way to make your vacation enjoyable!

Awesome Location!

Great property, lovely hosts & family. We brought our boat & the public ramp was very close to the property. New boat but it was not running properly after we got it in the water. Family & their connections helped figure out the issue & we were able to use the boat to explore the lake & visit Meredith & other towns. Unfortunately had to leave early after my wife broke her wrist hiking at Castle in the Clouds. Definitely would stay again, wonderful outdoor area. Only comment about the cottage is perhaps to remove some of the furniture in the living room for more openness.

My sister and brother in law from Florida came up and stayed with me, our other sister and Their daughter for the week.

Our Lake Vacation

We thoroughly enjoyed our New Hampshire vacation thanks to this cottage right on Lake Winnipesaukee. The beautiful, large deck on the lake with amazing views and sunsets. A small sandy beach with lots of beach toys is perfect for little ones, well, big ones, too, who like to build sand castles or swim. Several kayaks are easily accessible, so fun to explore the lake by kayak. It is a perfect spot with all you need to relax or play or go out on the lake. The cottage has all the amenities for preparing meals and hanging out, with great lake views from the living room and master bedroom. Marie is an ideal host, very gracious and responsive to every question (and I asked a lot of them, I’m afraid!). We spent a wonderful week here and would love to return.
