    This was our 3rd stay in the past 3 years. I can’t say enough about the courtesy of the host. Above and beyond any other host I’ve dealt with. Same as the property, I can’t say enough about how pleasant it is to stay there. The house has always been above expectations. Me and my son look forward to the next year as soon as we leave the lake. Can’t have a better, relaxing, enjoyable vacation anywhere else. The only problem is that the week goes by to fast. We never want to leave. These vacations on Bear Island are memories that can never be forgotten or taking away from my family. We are already looking so forward to next year. Greg, thank you so very much for the stay and the memories that you give us.

    Had an amazing week-long getaway here with my husband and our dog. The island property is perfectly located with easy access to the dock, which made for a nice week of boating and fishing. It was such a peaceful, relaxing escape, and the home had everything we needed. A highlight was spotting a group of deer right in the backyard during our stay. Greg was incredibly welcoming and accommodating in our communication and went above and beyond to make sure everything was ready for our stay. He was even so thoughtful about other dogs in the area while our pup was with us recovering from leg surgery. We would definitely love to return!

    Beautiful vintage lakeside cottage but with all the modern amenities. Very well stocked kitchen, soft bed linens, loads of towels.We swam every day, used the kayaks, best of all was lounging on the porch. We had a perfect relaxed vacation!!

    Our family had an amazing 4 nights at 26 Little Bear Island. Even before we stepped foot on the property, Greg was so great at answering any questions very quickly and accommodating to any changes that we needed to make such as adding on an extra night and a last minute need to add our pups! The house was clean and had anything you would need for cooking. The kids enjoyed the kayaks, canoe and paddle board, we couldn’t get them out of the water some days! We were greeted by Mr. Barsanti’s sister at check in and she made us feel welcome right away. We cannot wait to book next year.

    Once again, couldn’t ask for a better stay, so peaceful and such a kind, helpful host. Coming to the house has such a comfortable, relaxing feeling. Everything is perfect and just waiting for our arrival. I would give 10 stars if I was able. The whole family couldn’t be happier. Thanks again to the host and we will see you again next year.

    Our family had a wonderful stay at Little Bear Island the first week in September. It was a truly great stay. We enjoyed the house and being able to spend time on the water. The communication before and during our stay was excellent and the guidance on how to navigate to the island dock was so appreciated. We rented a boat from Trexler's Marina and they also provided excellent and responsive service. Our family, including kids were so grateful for the chance to spend a week on this island and to be on Lake Winnipesaukee.
