This is the perfect Lake Winnipesaukee home! The core of the home was built in 1930, from pine trees on the property, and has a rustic/antique feel. Over the years, the owners built up and out, so that this is a large home with many rooms. The beach is soft, wide, and slopes gently—perfect for young children. There’s a large dock for the tri-toon we rented, a fire pit, and several outdoor picnic tables, making dinner with young children much easier! (No need to sweep the floor since families of ducks stopped by every night to feast on what the kids dropped!) The owners thought of everything! Canoes and kayaks, lawn games and board games, linens, bath towels and beach towels. We’ve rented many lake houses, and never had a house this well stocked— spices, dish soap, trash bags, laundry detergent, flash lights, a blue tooth speaker, binoculars, tools. One of the two co-owners, Karyn, was easy to reach and a pleasure to work with. She did everything possible to help us get the most out of the week. This was a splurge vacation for us, but well worth the cost. We all want to go back! (Note to those with young children: We took photos of the house when we arrived, and removed items that we thought the kids might break, damage or lose (billiard balls and cue sticks, glass cups in the bathroom, two little balls for a tabletop soccer game, etc,). The photos made it easy to return everything to the right place.)
