Large dog-friendly home on Manning Lake with deck, lake views, dock, 4 kayaks

The property was quiet and welcoming. We settled right in and it became like home for our family gathering. Plenty of space for making memories, exploring nature, cooking with family, and also lots of nooks for privacy. The place was clean and well maintained, clearly labeled, and easy to find.

you can see the lake, animal accommodation, clean

House was great. Large, clean, and a beautiful setting on the lake. Very peaceful retreat.

I'm in love with this property. It had everything we needed. Big and spacious for my large family of 8 plus 2 dogs. The lake view, kayaking over to the other side was great and fishing!

This property was amazing for a getaway with my lifetime friends and families. The house was extremely clean and spacious & the lake was beautiful! We hope to turn this into a yearly experience & would highly recommend this house!

The view on the lake was great. We appreciated the use of the kyaks. The home itself is spacious, private, and peaceful. We would rent that property again.

Loon Retreat is a well-kept home with 4+ bedroom areas and lots of space. The kitchen has plenty of pots & pans, utencils, modern appliances and a large table able to seat our group of 10; lots of books, artwork, games, binoculars, etc. We were very happy with the large back deck, 4 kayaks & canoe and easily accessed dock and swimming area. The lake is very clean. We were disappointed that we could not bring a portable firepit for s'mores --a first in our many years of lakeside renting, and that the indoor fireplace was not usable. Up to 2 dogs are permitted with the first dog being free and the second dog $242 for our 4 night stay. We were able to hear the loons calling, walked forest trails, attended a fun Farmer's Market.

Each year we are joined by our three adult children, their spouses and children for a family week. This week we chose a lake house for our vacation. The house has a lovely location on a quiet NH lake. The water is clear and the bottom is sandy near the shore. Everyone enjoyed the kayaks, the swimming and the swinging rope/jump across the lake. The location is close enough to Gunstock and Lake Winnipesaukee for some additional entertainment and restaurants.

Pros: We loved the location of the house, the lake was lovely, and the decks were great. The boats and swimming were great fun. The bedrooms were spread apart so were quiet even with a big group. The kitchen was stocked very well with pots and pans. The family enjoyed the house. Cons: Vacasa was terrible to deal with. They would respond with a note saying they would get right back to us, then not get back to us. The third toilet was out of service. The internet was spotty. There were a lot of light switches to no where, and not a lot of lights, so the house seemed pretty dark.

Great home. Amazing views. Everything you could possibly need with amenities. Attentive and communicative hosts. Off the beaten path, but there’s a general store within 10 minutes that has all the basics. Would highly recommend staying at this property and would stay again.
