CRE82W - Vintage on Lake Winnipesaukee

Idyllic Meredith Neck Lakehouse
Everyone has a vision of what a lake house should look like, and this charming, vintage, shingle style summer "cottage" exceeded our expectations. From the wraparound porch to the s'mores sampled fireside, to kyacking out to Stonedam Island, and sleeping under cozy L.L.Bean blankets, endless swinging on the rope over the water, and hiking the Squam range, our week on the Lake was filled with happy memories. The cottage was well appointed with ample dishware, every manner of kitchen gadget, glasses, and serving dishes. The fire pit and the full moon made for the perfect setting for lakeside ghost stories. We made our daily visit to Mouton Farm for the best corn and tomatoes,and cider doughnuts, ever. All in all a perfect week. Many thanks for sharing your wonderful abode! The Squam Lakes Science Center is not to be missed.

Perfect Lake House
The lake house was great! Well maintained, clean, beautiful views and a perfect dock area. The family had an amazing vacation, so much room! Great location.

Perfect!
We just got back from a perfect week on the lake! The house was a quintessential waterfront lake house with the rustic charm of the old days combined with some modern updates. The house had ample space with the guest house a great extra sleeping space. There are no pictures but it is clean and comfy. The outdoor shower is private so really it's like there is a full bath out there. In the main house, the first floor bathroom can also be closed to be an en suite with the first floor bedroom. The sink is actually in the bedroom! This was convenient for our set up with multiple families. The kitchen has everything you need including two fridges! With all of that, the very best parts of this house are the huge screened in water front porch and the entire property water frontage. We all pretty much lived on the porch if we weren't outside. Plenty of room and seating for all. Outside there is a pretty new huge wooden deck that was great for sitting, jumping, and docking. There are multiple ways into the water including steps from the perched beach area. We spent most of our days just floating on the lake. We will be back next year!

Fantastic Vintage for a Crowd
This is the fifth different home we have rented on Lake Winnipesaukee and by far our favorite! There are so many different areas to hang out in that there is something for everyone & every weather condition. The outdoor beach and easy access to water with nice sandy bottom for your toes was my absolute favorite thing about this property. Additionally it has a nice U-shaped dock which was great for the kids (big and small)for fishing and accommodated our 23 foot pontoon boat nicely. This is the quintessential lake home and the screened in porch was the best. We spent lots of evenings out there visiting and playing games. Being able to bring our furry family member was also fun and the 1st time we were able. I would highly recommend this property. The rental company was quick & efficient for both check-in and check-out. I thank the owners for sharing their little piece of paradise with us. The entire family had a great time!

Great August Getaway
Perfect summer vacation getaway with family. Cottage is spacious and views from the porch are fantastic. New dock was great fishing for the little kids in the evenings and they spent countless hours in beach area sand and water. Kitchen is stocked with every necessity. Enjoyed the bunkhouse as well. Nice separate sleeping quarters for grandparents while young families slept in the big house.

Cattle Landing review
loved the rustic nature of the house, screened in porch and proximity to the water!! trash bin was full when we got there, but was picked up soon after I called the office. We plan on coming back next summer...perhaps a new rope swing??? Many Thanks!!

This place is literally my favorite in the world. It is clean, comfortable, has all the needed amenities for cooking , and boasts the most beautiful porch on earth. The home is lovingly maintained and feels like family. The lakefront is expansive with ample room for boats, swimming, sunbathing and rope-swinging. The surrounding area is quiet and wooded for serene long walks. When I go to this place , I am close to all the restaurants in Meredith, and yet, I rarely leave. Worth every penny.

Relaxing and fun time with family
We had a wonderful two weeks on the property. Plenty of room for family, dog friendly and amazing views of the lake.

Wonderful Family Get-a-Way
Our family had a wonderful vacation at the Lake. Everything for everyone…lots of swimming, boating, fishing, kayaking, reading, family board games, fires in the pit on the beach, and best of all we spent many late nights reminiscing on the screened porch overlooking the lake. The kitchen was stellar, it was like being at home, all appliances and utensils were there and in good condition. All in all, this lovely home exceeded our expectations and everyone that visited us wants to return. Only tough part was the spiders, as fast as we would clear the webs they would return, I suppose that’s to be expected with the woodsy location. The Callahans

Family Fun
This is our 4th year in a row. We have 4 generations spend the week & there is something for everyone. The outdoor space is wonderful with easy access to the water for my Mom who has mild mobility issues. They added bumpers to the outside of the “U” dock this year which kept our boat safe from the waves. We enjoyed the screened porch nightly & played games. Kitchen & bar are well appointed with everything you would need. My family starts talking about going to this lake house in January. We look forward to it that much! This is the perfect property for our family & we are grateful you share this spectacular place with us!

In Love with This Place!
It is our second year renting here...and as soon as we leave, we can't wait until next year. Lake Winnipesaukee is one of our favorite places ever. The house is perfect for a large family to all gather together in the evening...whether it's playing games or enjoying the bug free evening on the screened porch. Daytime is all about enjoying boating and swimming. The water is beautiful and the sandy bottom is nice on your toes. Nice beach to sit on or kayak out to nearly Horse Island. It is great for adults and children of any age. After dinner, there is room for adults and kids alike to fish off the U-shaped dock. If you find the opportunity to stay here....don't pass it up!
