Fantastic place

We had a fantastic stay at the lincoln cottage. The house was very comfortable, with the most incredible porch and view. Close to everthing too, from restaurants to shopping, to a great farmer's market we went to every day. We would definitely stay here again.

Spectacular lake front home with boathouse.

The Lincoln Cottage was the most equipped kitchen ever, with awesome cooking stoves and a big refrigerator. The towels, dish towels and sheets were provided. Extra pillows were available for renters. The front porch was wonderful with a hammock, rocking chairs and an eating round table. Card playing was a must at night and the view was fabulous.

Great location, lovely property

Very nice, large home. Kitchen is fantastic! Location on the lake is great for fantastic views and the boat house is ideally situated to make docking a boat fairly easy. Owner was incredibly helpful as well and checked in over the two weeks via text to be sure we had everything we needed.

The view!!!

The view and sunrise from Lincoln Cottage over the lake are unimaginable. There is easy access to swim, an extremely stocked kitchen and plenty of linens for large groups. The owner is fantastic to deal with and makes sure your stay is perfect!

Beautiful vintage lake house with spectacular views! Our extended family of 14 stayed for a week and thoroughly enjoyed the house and the lake. The kitchen, porch and dining areas were great for a big family. We rented a big pontoon boat and kept it in the big boat house, making a trip to Wolfeboro and fishing on the lake. Be prepared for a somewhat strenuous walk down to and back up from the lake ( although you can drive around and down there). We swam and fished from the shoreline and boathouse docks and had a couple of evening fires in the lakeside fire pit. Great stay!!Robert is a great host and very thorough in his check-in process and walk through!

Amazing stay with friends

We stayed here with three other families for our annual ski trip. The home provided plenty of space and access to activities that kept everyone happy. The house is beautiful and the view of the lake and the mountains is spectacular. Robert was very helpful and available to answer questions and attend to any of our needs. I highly recommend this stay!!!

Amazing stay with a big group

Very welcoming owner who met us at the property to give us a tour. We had a girls trip and there was enough space for all of us comfortably. The entire 3rd floor was equipped with a pool table, games, bar set, bed and bathroom which was perfect for those who like to stay up late. The chefs kitchen was gorgeous and was the center of activities. The deck was also to die for. A must stay!

A Great Place for a Large Family Gathering

Our extended family of 13 enjoyed a truly excellent week at The Lincoln Cottage. We have rented many VRBO places in the US and Europe and this house is incomparably better equipped than any of them. The owner, Robert, met us upon arrival and gave us a very detailed tour of the house and its many amenities. The views from the expansive front porch are spectacular. And we loved the lake. It would be difficult to have a better VRBO experience on Lake Winnipesaukee.

Family wedding

We have a large extended family who all traveled up for our daughter’s wedding. This place provided an excellent spot to see and enjoy the lake. The history of the home and the beautiful restoration had us all in awe. Even in the ran, we enjoyed sitting on the porch watching the storm. Thank you for letting us stay!
