Welcome to your family-friendly waterfront vacation rental, with everything you need for the ultimate lakeside retreat! Nestled onto 100 feet of pristine Pine River Pond shoreline in a secluded cove, this newly renovated house is perfect for kayaking, canoeing, fishing, hiking, water skiing, swimming, grilling, or just chilling out by the water. With a comfortably furnished patio and deck, private dock, and beautiful sunrise and sunset views right from home, you may not get far - but when you want to explore, Wolfeboro is around 16 miles away and offers lots of restaurants, shopping, and sightseeing. The lakes region also abounds in hiking trails, farmer’s markets, festivals, and activities happening on any given summer weekend.
At home, start the day with coffee on your deck, listening to the loons on the water - you may even be lucky enough to see them in the cove. Inside, you’ll find a cozy cabin vibe, with hardwood floors, pine-paneled walls, and an open layout. The full, well-equipped kitchen makes meal prep easy, and you can grab a bite together at the dining room table. Even better - step outside and dine alfresco on the deck. After a day of exploring, relax at home in the central AC. Entertainment options include books, board games, free high-speed WiFi, an iPod docking station, a DVD player, and large movie library. End the evening back outside by the lake, roasting marshmallows around the fire pit, with wood thoughtfully provided. Lake life awaits - all that’s left to do is book!

Clean, house updated. Would give it 5 stars, except 1. The stairs to the bedrooms is steep with irregular stairs. Not good for elders and small children 2. Access to the beach is the same with few rails or guards. 3. Pans for fried food are scratched and handle very loose. 4. A mouse problem! Came out every evening to greet us. Mouse droppings on counters and sink.

Beautiful view, small town feel, great scenery while walking around and pretty private. You're not alone, but people either kept to themselves or were friendly. The place itself is a nice mix of rustic and modern. You get the cabin feel, but with wifi and cable. I most definitely would go again.
Worried on Sunday that the boat traffic was going to be heavy but come Monday it was calm and totally peaceful. Lots of loons calling. Beautiful sunrise.

Fantastic lakeside vacation.
This is a great lake house with modern facilities. The house is clean and well stocked. The beds are comfortable and I loved not having to lug linens back and forth. The lake and views are stunning. It’s quiet and relaxing there. The lake itself is clean and clear. We brought our kayaks and paddle boards and left them at the dock for our stay while not in use. I loved listening to the loons also. If you have small children, I recommend bringing flotation type devices as there isn’t a gradual walk into the water. We hardly left the property except to dine out occasionally because we didn’t want to leave this beautiful spot.

Just okay
House is placed perfectly with beautiful views. Unfortunately if the weather isn’t cooperative there is nothing to do locally. We drove 35 minutes to Lake Winnepesaukee one day which was cool. The next day we drove an hour to North Conway for the day. We quickly realized we should have just stayed at either lake Winne or north Conway. We could still stay on a lake and if weather was bad we would have plenty of other things to do all around us. The house wasn’t super clean. The sofas are old, pleather is wearing off, and they’re incredibly uncomfortable as there was not much cushion left. Heavy dust and cobwebs throughout. Dirt and stain on broken blinds. Cabin give a dark and dank vibe verses bright an airy (so much wood on every surface). Upstairs carpets are extremely dirty. Beds covered in stained linens that don’t fit and seem like someone’s hand me downs. Heavy heavy dust on fan cages over the beds. Towels were extremely small and felt like sandpaper. Listing stated a blow dryer would be available, there was no blow dryer. Fishbowl effect at night as there was not blinds on all the windows. Outdoor furniture is old and not cleaned. Only a little stairway into the water if you don’t want to jump off the dock. Family’s with little ones don’t have a beach area or shallow water to let your babe play in. The house could be amazing, however I feel the hosts rely solely on views and waterfront location for ratings. It was an underwhelming experience.
Very happy with this place. We had such a great time. Clean and comfortable.

Location was great--peaceful, calm, serene. House was very comfortable. Had issues with Vacasa and a definite lack of communication and/or miscommunication.

Property was in great shape with a nice balance between rustic and modern finishes.
We had a great time and the owners were very thoughtful with the small things like onsite laundry, providing linens, wifi, etc.
Absolutely beautiful view of the lake. Secluded and peaceful. A perfect getaway.

great lakeside retreat
The cabin is stocked and very clean, lovely view across the lake. Beautifully furnished, the lake itself was perfect for swimming. Not too many restaurants or grocery stores in the area so best if you are looking to unplug and hang out at the cabin.
We had a lot of fun being right on the lake. The shallow and sandy waterfront right in front of the house is perfect for kids. The house was also the perfect size/space for the four of us.
Wonderful getaway. My wife and I enjoyed our stay. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets over the pond. Very quiet and relaxing. It was everything as advertised.Mistakenly, when we left this morning we accidentally took the Mr. Coffee maker thinking it was ours. We're more than happy to replace or package up and return to you, whichever is easier. It was a Model SK13. Please let us know what you would like us to do.We more than likely will rent again at some future time.Thank you,Bill Stantial

Couldn't have asked for a better place!
I loved every minute of our stay. The cabin was pretty, comfortable and clean. The setting was amazing. The pond is crystal clear and so much wildlife. I highly recommend this vacation home.
My wife and I stayed here with our two dogs for the week for an anniversary get away. It had an amazing view of the lake and had everything we needed. Only about 20 minutes away from stores and restaurants and we were pleasantly surprised by how clean it was upon check in. Would definitely come here again.
We had a great week, house was clean well stock with supplies needed. Lake is great for fishing, swimming and boating. Plan to go back next year.

Fantastic location
My wife and I and our dog had an amazing week on the lake at this property. The house is a great combination of cozy and modern with newer kitchen appliances and a new bathroom. Comfortable king-size bed with plenty of pillows.

Family friendly vacation
We all liked the cottage: plenty of room for four adults and one child, well equipped kitchen, two living rooms with a television in each, aiery bedrooms with comfortable beds and a deck with expansive views of the pond. Quiet surroundings with easy access from the main road. Well supplied local markets and scenery everywhere.
Great property, nicely shaded. We'll equipped house, with full kitchen and wifi and several TV's (that we didn't need with the great views of the lake). It would be nice if kayaks were provided, but we were able to rent some nearby.
