Adorable Winnipesaukee Lakehouse and Guest House for 12

We had a wonderful time. The outside of the house is deceiving as it needs some TLC but the inside is very clean & comfortable. We had great weather so spent every day on the dock, moving to the fire pit to get the last of the sun. We lived in the screened porch although the living room had equally comfortable furniture & gorgeous views. We kayaked as the owners provided, which was a bonus. My son loved the hammock to read & relax. The only thing I'd suggest is to replace the double bed in the guest house as it sinks in the middle so was uncomfortable.

Excellent vacation home. We truly enjoyed our stay. My 86 year old mom was able to access the beach and water easily. A couple of the floor planks need to be secured to prevent a trip hazard. Overall this property is the perfect place for a family vacation.

Best summer vacation weather we've ever had ... although it was very hot the first part of the week, the humidity was low and the lake was sufficently warm to stay in the water for hours. It's a great cottage for small children because of the nice little beach, and the offshore rocks keep powerboats away from everyone. With the firepit area, the dock enlargement for multiple chairs, the lawn for games, and proximity of the house, all is close at hand for keeping an eye on things and staying engaged. We've put our name in for next year.

This was our second year to spend a week at this lakehouse. Such a perfect location! We use the table in the sunroom for a puzzle, eat outside on the deck as much as possible, s'mores around the campfire -
just heaven for our 2 grandsons (4&6). They love the
sandy beach and catching fish off the dock. A ride on the Mount Washington was a big hit as was their
first round of miniature golf. The week always ends way too soon!

Beautiful, quaint home with AMAZING views! My family of 9 felt comfortable the minute we walked in. The newly renovated kitchen/dining room was perfect to make dinners together in and enjoy dinner on the porch looking out the windows at the magnificent views. Mountains, sunrises/sunsets, loons, boats what more can you ask for. Our family enjoyed campfires and movies on the deck with our grandchildren. Beautiful walks in the neighborhood and coffee on the dock sitting in Adirondack chairs, nothing better!

A couple items needed to be fixed and called the realty company. They were so accommodating and sent someone over immediately. Excellent service.

Great family memories made at Chipmunk Lane!❤️ Hopinh yo make it an annual vacation.

Although this vacation rental appears (and actually is) relatively small, it nicely accommodated our extended family of 11 - 6 adults and 5 children. The owners had made practical and tasteful interior renovations, including new kitchen appliances and heat pump A/C - and outside, evidently dock improvements with a comfortable sitting area. The large umbrella over the deck and table made for enjoyable and protected meals. We really liked the sandy beach which was wonderful for us all, especially the younger ones. After multiple canoe outings exploring the lakeshore, we concluded that this property has one of the prettiest waterfronts in the area - it's also somewhat sheltered, being a little set back on a narrower part of this large lake. An outdoor shower would have alleviated some of the competition for the single bathroom in the main house. All in all, we had a delightful week in a lovely cottage and have listed for next year.

Had a fabulous week at Lake Winnipesaukee. The house is perfect - clean and comfortable. The lake view with the mountains is an every-day delight!
Our two grandsons (3 and 5) loved the bunk room, the sandy beach, the dock, s’mores at the fire pit. We enjoyed excursions to Wolfboro, a cruise on the Mt. Washington, and a day at the Squam Lakes Natural Science Center.

Once we stepped inside the cottage we were really impressed with how updated and clean it was. When we stepped outside onto the deck and saw the breathtaking views of the lake with the mountains behind it we were overwhelmed. We had issues only with the shower and kitchen sink but they sent someone out to fix them. Other than that It was so pleasant!

We had a lively, relaxing vacation for our family of 7. Great Lake location, comfortable house with all necessary amenities. We particularly enjoyed the room with walls of screened windows allowing for pleasant breeze without bugs to enjoy our morning coffee with view of lake and nature.

Highly recommend this pet friendly family friendly lake house. Lake is just steps away from the deck , nice sandy beach, dock, great swimming. We did not rent a boat due to the large underwater rocks, but there is a dock there for the experienced boater prob not a problem. There is a fair amount of lake traffic, not terrible but busy on weekends. All and all our large family had a great vacation here! Highly recommend!
