Very comfy Absolutely loved the waterfront and docks. Perfect spot for tying up and floating on a tube, and what a view! Another favorite spot was the screened in porch. Spent our mornings drinking coffee there and ate our meals at the table there! The house was comfortable as was the bed in the main bedroom. No complaints from the people in the bedrooms upstairs and glad to have the half bath upstairs for that group. The kitchen could use more storage for food but had all the essentials. When we’re on Winnipesaukee we usually stay over by Meredith but this was a fabulous location. Wolfeboro is awesome and a short drive. The lake seemed quieter in Alton. Not so much boat traffic. Overall a great stay! ##### Brian M. ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Jul 22, 2023 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy #### Great view I think I can do better. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nancy N. Sep 4, 2024 #### Lovely Waterfront Beautiful views of the lake, loons, waves lapping the shoreline, fishing boats, speed boats, jet skis, etc. Bought a NH fishing license online and caught pumpkinseeds and large mouth bass! Saw a mink, and garter snake right on the rock jetty. Early mornings and late evenings were best for paddle board and kayaking. Some nice easy trails for hiking a short drive away. Hung out on the screened porch quite often. Very friendly neighborhood. ##### Nancy N. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ken G. Sep 7, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location on the lake Comfortable, roomy house in a great location on the lake with a boat dock. The check-in process was complicated by a tech malfunction with texting door codes but overall the host was responsive. I wish this place, and most rentals in NH, would do away the linens and towels rental and just include them in the rental price. ##### Ken G. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cindy L. Aug 17, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Truly wonderful with a million dollar view The view of the water is amazing. The house sits on a bit of a point so anywhere you look, you see water. We could sit on the deck with coffee and watch the sun rise every morning. Our favorite place to watch the sunset every night was on the dock but there's not a bad location. The dock is amazing. Great if you have a boat or like to fish. At first I was a little worried about the 1.5 bathrooms but the owners have it set up very efficiently and it was no problem at all for 6 adults to share the one shower. It was hard to leave at the end of the week. ##### Cindy L.
