Secluded vintage island cottage - boat access only.

If you love lake life and are excited by the opportunity for living on a lush wooded island, this the rental for you! PERFECLY located straight across the from quaint Wolfeboror made fun trips into town very easy. The property is tucked nicely into a very calm cove that made it great for afternoon lounging and swimming. The house was exactly as advertised with close-up views of the lake. Our favorite part was the lakeside deck!!! The lake is beautiful with breath taking views and amazingly homes around every corner and on every island no matter how tiny. Important heads-up and tip: The lake does have MANY unexpected rock shoals that are not as well maked as many people may be accustomed. I strongly recomend using a navigation app at all times. I found Navionix to be very accurate. I ran with it on the dash at all times. There are many local hikes available. We did the waterfall hike at Castle in the Clouds which I highly recommend. Our host Mike couldn't have been more accommodating and helpful! We would definitely stay again!

Loved the long deck along the water and the great view of the lake from most rooms. Vintage home which added to the charm of it. The canoe allowed us to see some pretty cool small islands nearby that would be too shallow to visit by boat. Large property gave us plenty of privacy. Would go again!

House is outdated, need some fixing up. Location of Property on Lake - excellent.

this property is ideally located, with evening views of the lights of wolfborough but some protected areas for watersports. It is a camp house, with dated appliances that actually are a part of the charm. Everything worked well, the dock is long enough for a larger boat. Michael is the ideal host. Thank you!

The property owner was responsive and helpful. The location of the house is perfect, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We had such a wonderful stay at Michael's cottage. We brought our 21 ft. boat up from Rhode Island and it was easy to launch at the Wolfboro public boat ramp. Public trailer parking was just across the street. The ride over to the Cottage was a short 6 minute trip. Docking at the cottage was easy and we never worried about the boat on the dock. Michael's Cottage is very peaceful and comfortable. It has a rustic charm that takes you back to another time- no cars on the Island. Gorgeous views and a great spot for swimming. The large deck over the water is where we spent most of our time. It is perfect for relaxing. Swim, Eat, Sleep, repeat. The kitchen has everything you need for family meals and there is a convenient grocery store in Wolfboro, walking distance from the boat ramp (Also, we recommend a Hot Dog from the guy at the stand and checking out the Meat Market for the best meatballs!). The Wolfboro lights are magical at night and can be seen from the large picturesque window in the living room. Lots of rooms to spread out for large families. This Barndoor Island cottage is a treat and we can't wait to book our next stay.
