We had an amazing family vacation, filled with so many new memories! Barbara was so sweet and very easy to get in touch with. The location was perfect for our family, and we will be returning again next year. Thank you Barbara!!!
The location was perfect. Lake Winnipesauke is a massive lake. Having the home in a cove made the water calmer and easier to use boats and water ski. The property has a big sandy beach and a large pier. We were able to dock our boat and jet ski on the pier. They provided three kayaks and a paddleboard to use that were wonderful.
The home was older but functional. The kitchen was stocked with everything you need to cook (minus crock pot). Plenty of dishes, utensils, serving plates, seasonings, and lots of Tupperware. The dishwasher, washer and dryer were great to have. The central air worked well and kept the upstairs cool. The basement, which holds 4 twin beds and 1 double bed, was freezing though. Upstairs held 1 double bed and two twin beds. They do not provide linens, but plenty of blankets, comforters, pillows, and towels.
Thank you for an enjoyable week!
The property sits on the most beautiful spot on the Lake. We have stayed for four yearsâŠ.with NO SIGNS of stopping. The memories we make are epic here and the Sunset is unmatched. Highly recommend this spot.
Great location, but unfortunately unclean and unsafe electrical
The location is absolutely beautiful. The yard and waterfront are really the draw to this location. We appreciated the kayaks and paddle boards and enjoyed having camp fires on the beach. Barbara was a responsive host.
Unfortunately, we didnât find this rental to be clean. The open space under the stairs, where most of the sleeping areas are is full of thick dust, dirt, black mold, and trash. My children who have dust allergies were not able to sleep in the basement bedrooms because of this. The grill had not been cleaned in some time (not even grates) and literally caught fire when we lit it. The listing does not clearly state that bed linens are NOT provided. The dishwasher was full and there were wet clothes in the dryer. The AC unit was broken, likely because the electrical wiring in the house is absolutely not up to code and cannot support it.
My biggest complaint is that the electrical work in the house is absolutely unsafe and I hope that this is seriously overhauled before it is rented to anyone else. One outlet in an upstairs bedroom was taped over with clear packing tape, but was singed and black underneath where it had clearly overheated. Another had metal prongs sticking out of it. 2 others sparked when we tried to use them. We were told not to use others for safety. I worried about my kids plugging anything in.
I loved the location and we had fun on the lake, but would never visit again until electrical is up to code and a serious deep clean is done.
Great spot to enjoy everything the region has to offer...
Quiet cove with great yard, huge deck, fire pit and so peaceful - a nice breeze all of the time. Soccer, corn hole, barbeque, swimming, fishing, kayaking and paddle boarding all day. Fires at night and quiet comfortable sleeping! Close everything to Wolfeboro and Alton have to offer - dining, bars, boating, hiking, golfing and great people watching! we all enjoyed the location and the accommodations.
The first floor of this house was so dirty, creepy and musty. After on night my family members who stayed down there checked into a hotel. Old Food and alcohol packed the downstairs frig. Cabinets in bathrooms and kitchen were full of old used items. Beds were very uncomfortable. We had to clean gas grill and deck and goose poop on yard. But the location was wonderful! great beach with fire pit and wonderful sunsets.
This is a special weekend for my group. My family used to have a home in Center Harbor where my dad and his friends would come this weekend. As I got older I did the same. About 10 years ago we sold the house but have kept tradition alive. With the same group of friends and one newbie who now has about 10 years under his belt.(My 29 year old son) we have enjoyed this annual weekend for over 30 years.
Enough about me, your property was amazing! Hanging by the beach with the fire pit in the huge back yard made the weekend perfect! Plenty of space for everyone and your communication with us was first class!
Thanks for giving us a memorable year!!

Beautiful location, clean house, good price. Quirky layout with a near ladder like steps to access two basement bedrooms . Friendly and accommodating host. No cell service or Wi-Fi. Would stay again.
House needs some cosmetic TLC in basement level, but otherwise plenty of room and beds and a great location and property. Huge , well maintained lawn and private beach, great views of lake from yard and deck, especially at sunset. Would recommend for either a family or group of friends, really enjoyed our stay, you will too!
The view of lake is wonderful. The house is horrible. The smell of mold, mildew is overwhelming. The house is run down and dirty. The appliances, stove and microwave were at least 40+ years old. But the most dangerous spot was the deck. Some soft floorboards, moves when you walk on it. It's an accident waiting to happen.
We stayed in the winter for Ice Fishing. We had access to the lake for snowmobiles and great spot for fishing. Place is a little dated but everything was functional. We had a blast and would stay again.
Property is down a quite private drive and is located on an inlet, well off the main part of the lake which is nice. Water is pretty shallow and very clear - center of the inlet is maybe 4 ft deep or so. House and furniture is shabby but was adequate for us and kitchen is reasonably well equipped. Lots of towels available but renters need to bring their own bedding. Also it does have Wifi and a cable modem which wasn't entirely clear from the listing. Communication with the owner was minimal but adequate - instructions on getting the key etc. Dock is in rough shape and fingers are very high off water. One birth was leased to a neighbor for their boat but we were able to put our little sailboat boat in the other slip and it worked adequately for our needs. We had a great time!
House was great and everything I expected from a house on the lake. The central air was an addes bonus
The yard and beach were the best I've ever stayed at. Cant wait to go back again.
The lot is beautiful and the views are beautiful. The location is perfect, being in a peaceful cove. Unfortunately, that is all I can say that would be positive about this property. The house is in dire need of attention. Between the rotting siding and rotting front window frame, letting in so much moisture, and the soft deck floor, this place will not survive another winter unless it's given some much needed care and repair. The indoor stairs going down into the lower level (basement) are steep, and narrow, with no hand rail. Very dangerous. The lower level (basement) is unfinished and damp and dark. Our party of 7 chose to completely avoid the lower level altogether and cram ourselves into the upper level, bcuz we were that creeped out by the conditions down there. Cupboards had pots and pans that had dried food stuck to them and ancient appliances that were also dirty, loaded with grease and food. Gross. ( Toaster oven and griddle) Ice trays in the freezer filled with yellow substance that made us gag. Septic system smells quite bad as well, most noticable outside. There is no care put into this place. It's very sad bcuz it sits on a beautiful lot.
