We are so thankful to Glenn and his family for sharing their home. This is an amazing home in an amazing location. It's a quiet, dead end, which is great for kids and walking dogs on the road. Neighbors are a good distance away so you have plenty of your own space. Direct access to the lake with plenty of kayaks (and life vests) for everyone to enjoy. Lots of good shade so the house stayed cool the entire time. So much indoor space! We were vacationing with myself and my boyfriend, our two dogs, my brother, SIL and their two boys. We took the downstairs bedroom and bathroom and they took over the upstairs rooms and bathroom. We were able to enjoy meals inside and outside together, and watch movies in the living room comfortably. There are tons of games to play as well as the pool table. I bothered Glenn a couple of times, each with a quick response, and very helpful. We do hope to be able to get back there in the future and enjoy everything it has to offer once again!
This VRBO rental is in a terrific location, right on Sunset Lake near the southern tip of Lake Winnipesaukee, well-equipped and with a fire pit, hammock, various water craft and a big house with two queen bedrooms and the cathedral main room facing the lake. There are also decks on these, a screened room facing the lake, and another back bedroom upstairs. In the basement is an entertainment area with tv, dvds, books, games, pool table and two additional twin beds. The rental has a lot to offer. The drawbacks for us were things we overlooked when booking. There is no cleaning fee and we learned that renters are expected to clean before departing. The other is that linens are available but must be laundered and returned to linen closets before leaving. For us these were onerous since we live in VA and it’s a long drive. We did meet Carrie and Glenn, owners who are delightful and very welcoming. And we complied with the cleaning, and the linen requirements by bringing our own, but the house needs a good deep cleaning.
What a MAGICAL spot on the earth to vacation. The lake was pristine for swimming and fishing. The house & cabin was perfect with the side of the house facing the lake all made of windows so you felt both peaceful and excited about the natural beauty all around you. Everything was simple and wonderful. I cannot wait to return. I feel like my soul discovered a secret magical place that I will yearn to return to! I loved reading the family history in the books. Thank you so kindly for sharing your home. One of the best vacations we have ever been on. Im so glad I found area 51 ! Fabulous
Thank you for renting your beautiful homeYou have such a beautiful home perfect location I thought everything that we were looking for great access to the lake spacious home full of games and toys for children perfect sleeping arrangements everything was neat and tidy and easy to find hopefully we are considered to stay there next year again thanks again
Great waterfront property. Amazing fishing and kids loved the dock side swimming. 5 kayaks, canoes and Jon boat were a plus.
Loved the house, location and kayaks. Have a pair of loons hanging out with us all weekend. Plenty of space, comfy beds and lovely dock.
Once again, we had a great time on Sunset Lake. Lots of fun in the sun, cute moments with kids and cousins. Weather was great, and the house was very cool at night, even without a/c. The back roads around the lake are perfect for running. Dogs loved running around in the woods. Lots of opportunities for daytrips and excursions to nearby attractions. Weirs Beach, Wolfboro, Storyland, etc. Found some great little spots for dining and shopping. I highly recommend The Rusty Moose diner in Alton Bay, by the way (located over near the Hannaford's grocery store).
Thank you for sharing your beautiful vacation cottage. We wre very satisfied with our stay and we have nothing but positive comments about this property. The owners were excellent to work with and very accommodating. There was ample space to satisfy a large family and a very quiet, secluded atmosphere to relax and enjoy the beautiful lake. It was also nice to have a washer and dryer on the property. I will definitely being recommending this home to my friends and family and will return again in the future. Thanks again, Janet…
Hi We have a wedding at the end of June in Wolfboro so we decided to take a few days extra and combine it with a family reunion since my brother is heading to Iraq in Sept for a year. If the cottage is as wonderful as our contact has been with the owner, we are in for a great time. I have never had such a great experience booking an place as I have with this cottage. The owner is amazing . He is so accommodating and truly cares that my family has the vacation of a life time. I will write a cottage review when our vacation is over. I can wait to go!!!
Lots of great memories this past summer. Our 6 month old son loved the water, listening to the loons, watching sailboats, and going for walks around the lake. It was an awesome sensory experience for him. We loved every minute. We didn't really feel the need to go anywhere else for the week, and just spent our days lounging, soaking up sun, and enjoying each other's company. It was clean when we arrived, and clean when we left. We haven't been on a real vacation in about 3 years, so this was a perfect way to spend our first summer vacation as a new family.
