Fantastic location and property! Owner quickly responded when needed. Everything needed for a fun and relaxing vacation on a clear pond with lake Winnipesaukee nearby. Just a short drive to Wolfeboro center for shopping and good eats. Plenty of fun attractions nearby as well.

Rust Pond summer vacation

Rust Pond is a perfect location. The town of Wolfeboro has everything, the pond itself is clean and quiet with no public access. It's only about an hour from the ocean, and there is so much to do in and around Lake Winnipesaukee.

This is a beautiful private location yet close to all the attractions Wolfeboro has to offer.. The family loved the "barn" and Rust Pond. We hope to return soon.

Wonderful stay at a beautiful place

The Barn is absolutely lovely. I visited Rust Pond as a kid, and this was a wonderful return to a beautiful place. The Barn lives up to its description - well appointed kitchen, spacious, cheerful and peaceful. We very much enjoyed listening to the loons on the lake, fishing, and watching the sunrise. Christopher was super helpful, answering questions before and during our stay. A great host ad check in was smooth and easy. Will definitely stay again next time we find ourselves in New Hampshire!

Wonderful stay in Wolfeboro on Rust Pond

We a wonderful time on Rust Pond in Wolfeboro. This house was incredibly unique, and extremely comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed looking around at all the interesting house features and spent hours in the water on the floats and kayaks. Owner was very responsive to any questions we had.

During this pandemic Christmas, couldn't have asked for a better place to spend the holiday. The space is beautifully renovated, a truly unique property. Would very much look forward to returning with friends and family in the future (and in the summertime).

The Barn was a perfect place to stay. The place was even more than the description. Plenty of room, an amazing Coca Cola machine, lots of games, and water was great! Many days we were the only ones out in the water. Highly recommend the place.

Fantastic Location

Had an amazing time at this barn. The location was great, where you can just walk 20 yards out the front door and have access to a beautiful body of water. My family and I were skeptical of the name of "Rust Pond", but the water is clear, clean, and beautiful. One of the best vacations, I have been on.

We stayed here for a week with our two children. Rust Pond is gorgeous and right outside the house. Wolfeboro is a short drive down the road. Plenty to do for kids and adults. House had everything and is just as advertised. Don't hesitate to book.

Perfect Lake House for a visit to Wolfeboro!

My family and I could not have had a better visit to The Barn. The home is the perfect setting for a Lake Vacation and certainly has everything you need for a relaxing and enjoyable time. We were so impressed with the home and its location we were planning next year's visit almost immediately. Most definitely looking forward to our next visit to The Barn and Rust Pond.

Wonderful location

We loved our week at The Barn. The location can't be beat. It was wonderful to be right on Rust Pond (which despite the name is really a lake) and to seemingly have it to ourselves on many days and convenient to be so close to town. The house's design is interesting and the kitchen is terrific, but sound does carry through the open architecture so make sure your group all keeps the same hours.

Wonderful Property

The Barn is a truly special property. My friends and I had a great weekend enjoying the surrounding area, as well as the Barn itself with all that it had to offer. Between going out on the pond, playing croquet in the yard, or the many late night games of shuffleboard on the second floor, there was always something to do and enjoy during our stay.

Wonderful location

The barn did not disappoint us. Superb accommodation, excellent facilities, & the most amazing setting. To wake up to that view every morning must be fantastic. A couple of minutes drive to Wolfboro & just under an hour to North Conway & the Kank. I'd have no hesitation in recommending the Barn.

Relaxing and wonderful family vacation

Our week at The Barn was outstanding! We lucked out with beatiful weather which let us really get the most out of Rust Pond and all that The Barn had to offer. We kayaked, fished, swam, and floated. The house exceeded our expectaions and accommodated our family perfectly as we cooked some delicious meals inside and out on the grill, played games, read and simply enjoyed some quality family time with a peaceful and gorgeous view.

This property is very well depicted in the VRBO - pictures and writeup. Centrally located to the town of Wolfboro and highway this property is great for being away but not too far away from civilization. The view of Rust Pond was beautiful! My family had a great time - hope to come again! The owners were great to work with for any questions, etc.

Another Great Year at The Barn

Being our second year staying at The Barn we knew what to expect from the home and surroundings and it certainly lived up to our expectations and more! The home is such a cozy well appointed home with a rustic feel. You can’t beat the location right on Rust Pond close to Wolfeboro and all that great town has to offer. Not only would I recommend but hoping to come back for a 3rd year.

Home was beautiful and the lake peaceful. Enjoyed our long fall weekend getaway. Beds were comfortable but very noisy when moving around or getting out. I missed the info on bringing your own bedding, not a fan of that feature. Overall a great vacay.

About the host

Host profile image
I grew up in New England, spent many of my childhood summers in New Hampshire and later attended college at nearby St. Anselm College in Manchester, NH. I'm happy to be able to spend my free time in the Lakes Region whenever possible and also share it with my family & friends!

Why they chose this property

After living in a few different different places in the US and more than 12½ years in Asia, I love spending time in the New Hampshire Lakes Region whenever I can, making and sharing memories with my family & friends!

What makes this property unique

A uniquely designed house with all the comforts and conveniences of home on Rust Pond, a 210 acre, spring-fed lake with a maximum depth of 42 feet at the center that's great for swimming, small boats and fishing!
