Jun 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Great place but no privacy We enjoyed the home and location. We were disappointed there were numerous cameras on all sides of the home that were not disclosed. It caused unease throughout the entire week. Overall, it’s a 4.5 rating: it would be 5 without the cameras. ##### Jean K. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kristi L. May 19, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Barnstead Lake House I cannot say enough about how amazing this house is. Lakefront. Fully stocked pantry & kitchen. Beautiful views of the lake from a couple of bedrooms. The photos don't do this property justice - it's beyond beautiful and comfortable from the moment you walk in. Lauren reached out upon our arrival and was in communication with updates throughout our stay. My 2 year old granddaughter loved playing in the lake and canoeing with her mom and dad. The property is far enough away BUT close enough to everything. You can do as many activities locally throughout the day or sit on the porch enjoying the view. That was my favorite part of the stay! ##### Kristi L. Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laura M. Jun 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### AMAZING!! WOW! What a gem this property was for our family including 8 adults and four kiddos (ages 3, 5 and 8) we’ve been booking a lake house every summer for the past 7 years and this one was by FAR the best. We are already planning to book again for next summer :) plenty of space, great beach, great amenities and activities for kids! We spent a LOT of time in the water. Caught many sunfish and 3 large bass! Enjoyed seeing the loons, ducks and even a beaver! Plenty of parking. AC was great for the very hot days we had. There was an early morning car accident nearby which caused a power outage but the generator kicked on and worked flawlessly until power restored. Kitchen was fully equipped! So many towels in each bedroom. I had the pleasure of sleeping in the Fox room downstairs - amazing!!! Lauren was fantastic and super responsive. We can’t wait to go back!!!
