Jul 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Beautiful vintage lake house with spectacular views! Our extended family of 14 stayed for a week and thoroughly enjoyed the house and the lake. The kitchen, porch and dining areas were great for a big family. We rented a big pontoon boat and kept it in the big boat house, making a trip to Wolfeboro and fishing on the lake. Be prepared for a somewhat strenuous walk down to and back up from the lake ( although you can drive around and down there). We swam and fished from the shoreline and boathouse docks and had a couple of evening fires in the lakeside fire pit. Great stay!!Robert is a great host and very thorough in his check-in process and walk through! ##### Robert M. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### kathleen f.

We have rented many VRBO places in the US and Europe and this house is incomparably better equipped than any of them. The owner, Robert, met us upon arrival and gave us a very detailed tour of the house and its many amenities. The views from the expansive front porch are spectacular. And we loved the lake. It would be difficult to have a better VRBO experience on Lake Winnipesaukee. ##### Celeste B. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Theresa T.

Robert could not be a more gracious host. The house is equipped with more than you could ever need. Robert was available to help with any issues that came up, although not many did. Our time went very smoothly. The top floor room is a fantastic spot for gathering and playing. The kitchen is amazing. We had a family reunion with up to 20 people coming and going and we all had the best time. And that was in the dead of winter! I can't even imagine how much fun this property would be in the summer! In short, Robert and the Lincoln Cottage deserve all the 5 star reviews you see here. Personally, I would give them more if I could! ##### Janet P.

We just returned home from a long weekend at this home and all I can say is this is my favorite VRBO that I have stayed at (we stay at 3-4 properties a year). Robert, the owner, met us at the house at check in and gave us a full tour of the home so we knew where to find cookware, dishes, towels, the laundry etc. It was really helpful especially given how big the house is. During our stay I reached out to Robert a couple of times and he was very prompt to answer any questions we had. The home itself is like a trip back in time, the woodwork, the decor, the little touches all over the home were fantastic. The boat house has room for three boats, we used all three, the biggest being 30' and it was plenty of room. Finally, the views the sunrises, the sun sets, being able to see Mount Washington off in the distance while rocking on the porch with a drink looking out on the lake. Really priceless. I hope we have the opportunity to rent from Robert again. ##### Adam H. Stayed 3 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joel L. Jul 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Had seven adults and two toddlers for a week. Although a lot of work has gone into the house be aware it is an older house. So accept creaky floors and window AC. There is a walk in shower on the third floor and a tub shower on both second floor bathrooms. The kitchen was fantastic for making our family dinner. Owner was very accommodating and responsive. Some windows were hard to open and shut. Some beds are against the wall so a partner may have to climb over another to exit the bed. Porch view and chairs were phenomenal. You will never tire of the view. ##### Joel L. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jason H.

The entire 3rd floor was equipped with a pool table, games, bar set, bed and bathroom which was perfect for those who like to stay up late. The chefs kitchen was gorgeous and was the center of activities. The deck was also to die for. A must stay! ##### Christine M. C. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shane C.

Our family was so comfortable here. 4 adults, 4 kids, plenty of privacy and separate spaces to be. Gorgeous boat house for our boating needs and a fire pit for s'mores with the kiddos. Fully equipped kitchen right down to a classic coffee grinder for fresh brew. We are a musical family and so enjoyed the 3rd floor jam room and clavinova! HIGHLY recommended. Our gracious host was very informative, communicative and caring in the best way possible. Wish I could give more than 5 stars. ##### Shane C.

In short this was an exceptional property with the consummate host! My family (5 of us) had a tremendous time at The Lincoln Cottage. I was blown away by how well outfitted the kitchen, and the whole property, were. I packed a bag of kitchen tools and devices and frankly needed none. The rooms were all clean and charming and the main floor was cozy and comfortable We were there over Christmas and Rob even had a tree up for us. From an amenities and comfort standpoint the property was all that it promised and more. The harder to describe was the "Vibe". This is clearly a house that has known a loving family and that permeates the entire place. There is just a sense of warmth and comfort that is hard to put your finger on. The large fireplace with the couches all around inspired reading, napping and in the evenings, laughing and family games. The wrap around porch afforded great views of the lake and the Boat House offered the perfect location for our "Polar Plunge"! As a host Rob was fantastic. He greeted us warmly with a tour when we arrived and txtd a couple times to check on us. He was available but by no means over present. I wish all hosts could strike his balance. Over all this was an outstanding experience by every measure. I give Rob the high marks possible and will look forward to returning again this summer!! ##### Antony C.

When we arrived, he showed up to provide a tour and insights into the workings of the home and its fully stocked kitchen. Although we were not blessed with the best of weather during our stay, the home provided an ideal spot to hang out together around the fire or overlooking the lake. It was well maintained and clean and the top floor was a perfect spot for the kids to play, hang out, or just chill. A wonderful spot to spend a winter or summer week. Thank you Robert for your hospitality! ##### James M.

The house is comfortable with an amazing kitchen. Views are incredible from the main deck and the 3rd floor. Definitely would rent again! ##### John H.

This home was perfect for a family gathering! We gathered as a family to honor my Dad who brought us all to the lakes region way back when. The house was perfect for meals, games and water activities together and close to camp grounds for extra sleeping. Robert was an excellent host and the the house had everything your could think of! We brought a boat as well and the boat house worked out perfectly. Highly recommend! ##### Alison B.
