Wolfeboro Lakehouse Retreat

We had a wonderful family vacation at this property. The kids (11-14) LOVED the bunkhouse and we all thoroughly enjoyed taking the boats onto the pond to fish or relax. Wolfeboro is an adorable town and the house is located minutes from downtown, but honestlywith the pond, large deck, and fire pit we spent most of our time on the property. Can’t wait to come back!

Cottage was dirty. Open food in refrigerator. Someones laundry in hamper in bathroom. Garbage and recyclble were left. Outside furniture dirty and cushions were soaking wet. Could not use during our stay. Inflatables left scattered around the shoreline. Cottage was very small the two twin beds were actually a twin and a trundle. When contacting property manager we were told that people had just left. If it's a successful rental that should happen most weeks. Then he told us he had a new cleaning crew. I got the feeling we were being blown off. The bunk house was dirty. Top bunks hard to use because of roof slope. Loved the quiet. Water was nice and had good fishing.

We enjoy taking our dogs on a trip each year as a family and this was a great spot for just that. They are water bugs and this was a perfect spot. We will return!

Awesome rustic property great for a family

It was a little bit too small for 6 peoples

Overall, the time spent at the cabin was lovely and we had a great time. You could tell care has gone into setting up the deck and outdoor areas. Having access to the boating equipment and grill was a definite plus at this rental! If you are someone who enjoys kayaking, canoeing, or just sitting on the dock, this is a good spot for you. We did find previous reviews noting the cleanliness of the house to be correct - it is in need of a deep clean. Unfortunately, the trundle bed and outdoor couch could not be used due to an abundance of debris that has piled up over time. The cleaning crew had arrived before we departed and we relayed this information to them in hopes they would tend to it prior to the arrival of the next renter. We are accustomed to more rustic accommodations so were not bothered by it but it should be something you are aware of.

We really enjoyed our stay. Pros: The view is absolutely amazing. The deck is 10 feet from the water of a small pond. Having access to the kayaks and paddle boats is a plus. Overall the property was fairly clean and very close to the town of Wolfeboro. We had a very good time. Cons: The kayak seat was broken again and the owner was there fixing it again when we arrived. Maybe think of upgrading the kayaks as the ones that are there are on the cheap side and seem to break frequently. Even though the house is listed as being able to sleep 10, I agree with the other reviewers that having more than 4 would be a really tight fit. The house is definitely small. The sofa could use some upgrading as the sofa bed is extremely thin and you can feel coils coming through your back. By day 5/6 this was difficult to endure. Overall it was definitely a good experience and I would go back. Richard the owner is easily accessible with questions and concerns.

Had 5 people in the group - 3 adults, 1 teen and 1 child. The house is small but the space is arranged wisely. The outdoor deck is really nice overlooking the water. The bunk house does add some needed space for sleeping if needed. The best part of the property is the water access. We spent 95% of the time on the boats/kayaks and fishing. If you fish then you will like this place. We pulled out 20 bass over two days. The pond is small and quiet so there is no worry about losing sight of anyone from the dock. The swimming area is small bc most of the pond is full of Lilly pads but we were able to cool off in the small cleared area. The beach area definitely does not match the pictures though. The sand is really nonexistent in the “beach area”. The hot tub was also not set up and we were told after arriving that it wouldn’t be available. We also had to wait an extra hr to move in because cleaning was delayed. Overall-We all enjoyed our time here over the 3 days. If you like quiet and fishing then you’ll like this house.

House was cute. Great fishing in the pond. But... Disappointed with cleanliness of property. Broken glass at waters edge, bottles in water, kayak was broken, row boat only had 1 working oar, peddle boat broken. The site was listed has having a hot tub and it did not. Could not find pass to take trash to the dump. Toilet seat was broken. Grill was so rusted and dirty it was unusable. We were with our family and made the best of the situation. Would suggest the listing be updated as this house does not have a hot tub. Was definitely overpriced based on the accomodations provided

Only one key was supplied. The paddleboat was back storage compartment was full of beer cans / cider cans and broken ( the left hand side spins freely ) . House was full of hair and filthy and wasn’t clean between rentals . The bedroom quilt on the double bed was visibly soiled. A container was full of spoiled food was left in the microwave thus never wiped out .Both bedroom mattresses are too soft and uncomfortable - The pullout couches mattress is horribly thin and is extremely uncomfortable. The vrbo property description is not accurate- ie the nonexistent hot tube , usable bunkhouse and the beach is full of weeds and overgrowth. The living room carpet had dog treats under the ottomans with sand and pine needles therefore never vacuumed .In regards to the general cleaning of the unit was subpar and maybe overlooked completely - The vacuum cleaner disposable filter bag is full needs to be changed . I swept the entire unit because it was sandy and full of dust bunnies not rustic .
