Whittemore Shores Cottage On Newfound Lake, Beach & Lake Access, Sleeps 8

Family emergencies made our time a challenge before we even arrived, but Lyda was the best host we could have ever hoped for! She was responsive and worked with us every step of the way - thank you, Lyda! We felt right at home immediately in the spacious, comfortable house that had everything we needed. We saw deer in the orchard every day and had coffee every morning on the back deck overlooking the lake. Being able to moor our boat there and use the dock was the icing on the cake! We hated to leave and can’t wait to return!

Spacious clean lake house. Beautiful location in a very friendly neighborhood. Central to the lake and shops. Lyda was responsive and a great host.

We have spent several summer vacations here on Newfound Lake but none as comfortable as staying at Lyda’s place! It is cozy and well stocked with everything you could possibly need! Very clean and well appointed with comfortable beds. With temperatures in the 90’s the air conditioning was a huge bonus! The convenience of the golf cart and amenities for use at Whittimore Point beach were great! We definitely want to return and stay here again! Thank you Lyda!

Our overall trip was amazing. The house had more items than listed so of course I brought too much. The owner was very responsive from the point I made the reservation. I had a daughter in law who was 8 months pregnant during our stay so I had lots of questions. Couple of things - there is a gas grill, a regular coffee maker and a K-Cup, paper towels and toilet paper are supplied. The kitchen was also stocked with garbage bags, foil and everything you would need need. There is a 2nd full size fridge in the basement which would be handy for 2 families staying together. There were a couple of country stores and a Hanafords about 10 minutes away. Couple of things that could have gone easier. It was difficult to find the house as it isn't on the main road as listed. So the actual address may be the main road but that isn't where the house is located, you had to take a left onto a side road - this was frustrating. The property had access to a beach and boat moorings which was great. Some of the condo owners were a bit rude to our adult children which wasn't necessary. Yes, were renters' but we are and were always respectful. Overall I would definitely recommend and we actually were looking to rent for some time this winter for skiing.

Lyda’s home was a great vacation location for our family! The open kitchen/dining/living area suited our family’s needs, and the downstairs was very spacious including a new large full bath. Scenic views of the apple orchard in the front as well as lake and Mountain view in the back. Whittemore point is a very convenient location with great restaurants and grocery close by. We plan to return next year!

We've been going to Newfound Lake for over 30 years now. Lyda's place fits our needs now that we have grandchildren. It worked out well during this COVID time. My husband had to participate in his Zoom meetings. Lyda has the easy access wifi and with my laptop, it worked out well. While he was in his meeting, I was able to keep the kids occupied downstairs and then bubbles on the deck. Thank you, Lyda. we'll be back next year!

Great access to one of the nicest beaches on the lake. Comfortable home for a family.

We've been vacationing at Newfound Lake for over 30 years now, this was one of the nicest houses we've stayed at! Very clean, LOTS of room (the kids loved the yard!), and the central AC was really nice during the hot days. The shared community beach was really nice as well, only a 7 minute walk from the house (we timed it :-) ), or you can use the golf cart provided by the owner. Had a great sandy beach, and the covered pavilion was very helpful if we wanted to each lunch while down there. Also, I have to say the owner of this property was absolutely fantastic. Homeaway/VRBO somehow messed up our reservation and cancelled it 6 days beforehand, the owner was extremely helpful and communicative in ensuring us that we still had our rental and trying to figure out what went wrong (she helped get it settled in the end!). Very frustrating for both sides, but she gets 5+ stars for making sure the rental process went smoothly for us!

This property has everything you need for a wonderful vacation. The pictures online are appealing, but the actual home is even nicer! This is our third vacation spot in six years at Newfound Lake, and it is now our favorite. Everything about it was terrific.

It's perfect for us and our family. We have been going to Newfound Lake for 30 years now. In the past, we rented condos. Now that we have grandchildren and our family is growing, we needed more room. Because Lyda's place is a stand alone home, you don't have to worry about bothering the neighbors, if the a baby wakes up in the middle of the night. Also, it has a huge yard for baseball games, etc. Although, it looks small in the pictures, it is deceiving. There is a lot of room! Even though it's located in New Hampshire, it can get very hot. The central air conditioning was greatly appreciated!! Lyda also has all of the stations on her tv, which made my husband happy. He didn't have to worry about missing the Red Sox, etc! Thank you, Lyda. We will be back next year!
