Ratings and reviews
Summary of reviewsGuests loved the private beach, access to kayaks, and meeting friendly people while staying at the property. The quiet cove location was perfect for relaxation and easy access to nearby amenities.
8 / 10Excellent·Oct 2025
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.

A little piece of heaven! The house, property and location was amazing! I cannot say enough about Bob and how wonderful and friendly he is and it is obvious he loves his home and property! The other families around us were great! We definitely want to come back!
