Ossipee, New Hampshire
Situated on one of the most picturesque spots in the Lakes Region, our home rests on the corner of Lovell River and Ossipee Lake, with Mount Washington & Chocorua in full view. A well appointed, gourmet kitchen offers a 5 burner commercial cooktop, 36” pizza oven, microwave, dishwasher and all the small appliances needed to cook up your dream meal. Or, if you are a grill master, try out the 55,000 btu grill. Morning started with a cup of coffee in hand, where do I enjoy this The picnic table on the beach, sitting by the river’s edge, sitting in the lounge chairs on the sandy beach, or just at the end of the dock! After the coffee, do I jump into the outside shower with spray jets from a tree or the jump into the lake Water sports, kayaking, fishing or a day of golf are just minutes away. You can also enjoy meals made in your own kitchen, sitting at your own 12 foot picnic table for 14 people, or prepared meals at the local restaurants, or just do take out. End the evenings sitting by the campfire with the wood supplied, toasting marshmallows, and having a beverage. View the amazing sunsets and sharing moments of the day with friends and loved ones. As bed time approaches, bathe in the sunken 6 foot whirlpool tub or shower in the surround shower on the first floor. A second floor half bath is also there for your convenience. Ceiling fans and air conditioning allow total comfort.
Nestled on a lake and river front in the Ossipee woods, experience two vacations in one. You have the fun and enjoyment of a lake vacation with the water, boating and mountain scenery in the front of the property, and the tranquility of a natural setting on the river side. Wildlife abounds in the rear of the property, with sightings of deer, moose, otters, beavers, loons, ducks, geese, woodpeckers, chipmunks, fireflies, frogs, turtles, eagles and fish. After your day outside, you return to a modern updated home complete with all amenities. Conveniently located, Laconia, Conway, North Conway Outlet stores, Rochester, and Maine are all within 1/2 hour's drive. Enjoy the many local restaurants, or travel to the more populated areas for that special treat, knowing your quiet oasis is waiting for you when you return. Or you can just sit on your beach chair and do nothing.
What a gem this place is! Tons of different spaces to unwind and relax and loved the location being right next to the river. Jim was an excellent host and was quick to answer back with any questions I had. Kitchen was fully equipped with whatever we needed, beds where comfy. Loved having the kayaks and the outdoor shower was great. We had a wonderful week.
We were greeted by the wonderful owners of this beautiful home and they gave us a tour of all the great things we would enjoy. Great couple! They checked in on us to ensure we had everything we needed. The location was amazing with sunshine on the beach all day, beautiful views and nature at its best. We used everything..kayaks, corn hole, outside shower, fishing in the river, boating from the dock, the grill, the beautiful outside dining and the beach the beach the beach!. The house was so well equipped we had everything we could ever have needed. Truly a special place to spend a vacation. Thanks Jim and Susan!
I'm not very good at leaving reviews but I had to make sure I did for this property. This is an absolutely lovely property. We were a large family and there was plenty of room for everyone. It is everything is states it is and more. The owner really thought of everything when it comes to amenities. The lake was amazing with breathtaking views. There were kayaks on property to use. We had stayed here many years ago and it was just as memorable as the first time. It is the perfect place to relax and recharge. I would definitely recommend it.
My family and I had a wonderful week at Jim’s property. The house is beautiful and very clean. The architecture is so interesting and unique. Jim obviously takes a lot of pride in his home and it shows. The views are stunning. I could sit and look at the lake and mountains for hours. The water was clean and great for swimming. My 9 year old loved jumping off the dock. The sandy beach is perfect for kids of all ages. The beds were also really comfortable. Probably the best sleep I’ve ever gotten in a rental property! I also loved the ability to check in earlier in the day. Most properties make you wait until 3-4:00 pm and at that point, the entire day is gone. Overall I’d highly recommend this rental. We are considering staying again next year and maybe one day, purchasing our own home on this lake because we loved it so much!
Well worth the rental. Experience was flawless and the property is one of a kind.
I can't say enough good things about this home and owner. The house was even better than the pictures and description (it is very evident how much pride the owners have in their home), the location couldn't have been better (river and lake vacation all in one), and the entire process made us feeling like we were being welcomed like family. I could go on and on about all the amazing extras (firepit, outdoor dining area, perfect beach, dock, kayaks and boats, beds, and the most amazing indoor and outdoor showers). My family (husband, three young children, and parents) had the BEST week. Thank you Jim - we can't wait to book our next vacation with you!
We had a beautiful week on Ossipee at this magical property. The owner is extremely responsive and supportive, every detail in the home is there to provide comfort and beauty, and the views... oh the views. It is so difficult to describe the beauty other than to say it was breathtaking everyday at every hour from every angle. In terms of activities and amenities, the river and lake provide two different swimming and paddling experiences - both enjoyable - with 100 yards of private beach for playing, toasting marshmallows and lounging. The indoor and outdoor showers offer spa-like comforts. The kitchen was a chef's delight. The beds were surprisingly comfortable. The kids appreciated the option for a movie when it rained and I appreciated the views from inside along with a good book. All-in-all it was our favorite lake escape yet. We cannot wait to go back.
I must say that this was one of the few properties we have rented in our lives that surpassed our expectations. The pictures of the house are very accurate except no picture quite captures the view. It was the most unexpected part of the property. The view is just amazing. I’ll start with a quick favorite things list and things to bring... -outdoor shower to die for -view is spectacular -kayaking on the river and lake -swimming, though try to find sandy spots -pizza oven -private little beach and river access. -the owner is a really nice guy -Fire pit -bald eagle who hangs everyday We brought plenty of bug spray and lotion. Almost anything you need is provided. Given this covid pandemic, the house and the lake felt so relaxing. It’s not crowded at all. Having the river on one side was a real treat, especially for kayaking. We ended up staying 12 days. We have 3 sons and had been basically in our house for 4 months before this trip. We specifically looked to rent a place that would not be crowded and this was perfect. The house is exactly as pictured, except for updated couches in living room. It was very livable and equipped well. Within a day I felt like I was at my own lake house... The owner clearly loves his home. There were so many little details, I’m sure we didn’t notice them all, but we noticed a lot. Birch wood used in so many of the details and finishing touches. Hand carved chairs in the outdoor dining area. Lounge chairs on the river and lake front. Plenty of firewood. Kayaks which we used 3-4 times a day. I truly can’t say anything negative about this property. My boys loved it. I hadn’t heard them laugh as much in months. Grocery shopping was close by. I suggest making pizza! We did three nights out of the 11 nights. I have incredible pictures I’m not sure I’m able to post on this review. But I will try. And again, the owner could not have been more welcoming and nice. I have since learned we asked the list questions before we rented than anyone before us, but he answered all of them...that I’ll blame on my husband. If you are looking for aloe for your soul, this is a good place to find it. Oh, did I mention the outdoor shower lol?
We enjoyed one week the end of June, and without going anywhere, we had the best time taking advantage of all the property has to offer! We felt very at home and comfortable, which is not always easy with two toddlers. Jim (the owner) was very responsive and helpful throughout and he ensured we had all that was needed to just sit back and enjoy our vacation. We would definitely stay here again!
We absolutely loved our stay at this home. The views were amazing and the location on the lake couldn't be beat. The outdoor shower was a huge hit, along with the massive private beach for lounging, playing games and eating outside (the owner recently built a beautiful outdoor table which seats 12-14 comfortably). My Mom commented she felt like we were on a TV show eating our family dinner in this setting! James left no detail undone. His love for this home was evident with everything you possibly needed to relax and enjoy your stay..every essential you could possibly need was provided. You will not be disappointed! I only wish we could have stayed all summer. He was also extremely responsive and proactive with communication. He was a very attentive host who ensured our stay was memorable. I hope we can return again next summer!
