The house was exactly as described and had all the essentials we needed. We enjoyed the fire pit to make s’mores each night. The kids enjoyed fishing from the two docks and kayak which was available for our use. The weather was absolutely stunning which was a bonus!

Aug 14, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great waterfront cottage We stayed at this cottage for a week in August 2024 and it was perfect for our needs. Simple, clean, cozy, well-stocked, great location, beautiful views. We had 2-4 adults during our trip, all of whom were quite comfortable with 3 private bedroom and 1-1/2 baths. The portable AC units were a welcome benefit when the weather turned humid. We spent most of our time on the large deck that looked out to a quiet channel and onto the mountains beyond. The location was convenient as well; we launched our 18' boat at the Pier 19 public ramp and it was an easy and direct 10 minute ride to the cottage. The fixed dock was simple to navigate to; just be mindful of one large submerged rock roughly 20' straight out from the fixed dock itself. The area was very quiet with minimal boat traffic during the week. The weekend was slightly busier but still much more subdued than the rest of the lake. The host (Tamara) was very communicative, responsive, and easy to contact. We'd recommend this cottage for a small group looking for a quiet island retreat with great boat access. We'd certainly stay again in the future! ##### David G. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rachel A. Aug 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We had what can only be described as a magical week on Whortleberry island - one of our favorite family vacations of all time. Tamara was an exceptional host and went above and beyond to ensure that we were well taken care of, providing prompt assistance and so much information about the area. The cottage is well appointed and extremely well represented online. We would love to return to this incredibly special place! Thank you so much again to our hosts. ![Sunrise from the dock. It is a stunning location! ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/fbcb319f-1997-4fdb-a1aa-53dadba5cfbe-1756059773918.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Rachel A.

The boat traffic is quiet in 5he area and a qick ride tothe docks for forgotten item and all important ice cream. Sleeping areas are spacius and the ac is nice on the humid nights. The swim area is really nice any time of day. Everything we needed was there to enjoy the whole week. The deck is great we ate there every night. We love this spot andhope to benack again next year. ##### nick b. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emily W.

Our kids loved the property and ability to fish from the dock. We would go back! ##### Emily W. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### lori b. Aug 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Spent a week at this classic lake cabin. Check in and communication with hosts was excellent. House is in a quiet cove, clean, well stocked and enough room for 4 adults and one good sized dog. Dinner on the deck overlooking the lake most nights….boat trips into town early in the day for lunch and shopping. Has a great small sandy beach, a nice fire pit and a sweet little lagoon where we placed our chairs to sit and cool off during a week of very hot weather! It was the perfect spot for the dog to swim from the beach and to jump off the dock retrieving a frisbee for hours! Would be a nice spot if you have small children. Last but not least….the outdoor shower! Never took one inside it was so good. A great week all around. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/38b54365-15f0-4bfa-a04e-f3d226346812-1755355805121.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### lori b.

Being on this island in one of the best lakes in all of New England is just amazing. The house is a cute, classic lake cabin with a spectacular view of the mountains. We sat on the deck and watched some of the most beautiful sunsets. We swam, fished, and even took a few boat rides to get dinner in Wolfboro and Meredith. What a treat! This is truly a peaceful sanctuary or as my kids called it, “Paradise Island” ##### Jason N.
