chief Smith Cove Lakefront Vacation Rental on Lake Winnipesaukee

The house was as advertised and part of a compound on the lake with shared beach access. It is more of a camp/lodge feel in terms of older style home and furnishings but clean and comfortable. Bob was very accommodating and communicative. Pet friendly. The house is in a convenient location, very close to Weirs beach, Laconia, and Gunstock. Must bring own linens, towels, and kitchen/bath supplies. We enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

Bob was very kind man. The property has a wonderful view. Landscaping beautiful. Could be charming with updates! Now it’s best described as “your great-great aunt’s old home”. Old stained & musty smelling furnishings. Stained carpet. Wallpaper wearing off. Only one bed usable. Queen Bed in 2nd room so stiff and uncomfortable it was not usable. AC units had lots of grime on vents, as did bathroom mirror. Shower didn’t work, shower curtain liner orange with scum. Sofa air bed terribly stained & smelled. Bedrooms upstairs, only bathroom downstairs thru the kitchen. We found alternate lodging for my son, DIL and 2yr old grandson. We were told to bring our own sheets, towels, soap, kitchen soap, paper towels & trash bags. Previous guest left 3 pair women’s underwear in drawer. If DEEP CLEANED, new furnishings, beds, bedding, towels & kitchen supplies provided it could be VERY charming and worth the money.

The property was lovely. The setting was serene and private. And the beach was perfect. Bob was very hospitable! We would definitely stay here again! Thank you, Bob!!

Excellent location and our neighbors were respectful and quiet

Great location, clean and comfortable, and Robert went out of his way to help me with my boat and trailer storage, we had a blast!

Bob was friendly, attentive and a pleasure to have close by!

Beautiful stay

It was the most relaxing and quiet vacation that we have ever experienced. We barely left the property. We had our own private beach 🏖️, easy access to dropping our kayaks in the water and floating around in the water on our loungers for hours. We met some of the nicest people who were also staying in the other rentals next to us. If you do leave the property everything you would need is a very short drive. We loved our stay!❤️

Bob was a great host and the property was just as expected. Great stay.

Bob was great to deal with, check in was easy. My favorite part was the porch...you are right on the lake in a quiet cove. We had access to a small beach area with chairs, which was nice on a warm fall afternoon. We also enjoyed walking to the Lyon's Den. Cottage was clean and functional. The location on the cove was really nice and quiet.
