About this house rental

Island Property: Renters Must Have Their Own Boat To Access.

Island living with 100 feet of shoreline facing the broads of Lake Winnipesaukee. This private retreat is a fully functional home. There is electric service, full plumbing, and hot water. The kitchen is stocked with all the essentials for your stay, along with all linens and towels.

At the water, there is a breakwater, and dock space for 1 boat up to 26 feet. There are also steps for entry into the gradually sloped, sandy bottom swimming area. From the dock, you have incredible views of the Whites, and Ossipee mountain range to the north, and can watch both sun up, and sun down.

There are about 40 steps from the dock to the property that may be difficult for elderly visitors. The steps lead you to a large deck that stretches the length of the home and is perfect for entertaining guests. The deck contains a gas grill, picnic table, additional dining table, and a modern semi-circular couch and gas fire pit which is sure to be a welcoming place to relax at the end of the day.

There are 3 bedrooms. While one bedroom has access by walking through another, each has their own sliding glass door for access to/from the deck.

The main living space has an entertainment center with TV/DVD, couches, and games for your enjoyment. There is now internet, and the main cellular services provide excellent service.

Out the back of the property, there are miles of hiking trails. Deer can often be spotted as you climb to the top of the tallest island on the lake. Once at the top, there are panoramic views of the lake, and is the perfect place to watch the sun go down.

This property is located on the broad side of Lake Winnipesaukee and inclement weather may make for difficult boating. It is recommended to be an experienced boater when renting this property. Parking and launching available through local marinas.

We had a fantastic stay on Rattlesnake Island. The house, the property, and the location were everything that was listed and more. I recommend this to anyone who is looking for a secluded getaway on a busy lake.

We've stayed on many different islands over 30 years vacationing on Lake Winnipesaukee and this place is great. Beautiful views, good swimming area and dock. You can see the neighbors but everyone keeps to themselves so you have privacy. The stairs (41 of them) can be challenging if older guests or people with leg problems come to visit. Everything worked properly and there are all the little necessities you will need there. Fire pit and all the ingredients to make smores!! Great place to hike w amazing views of the lake. If you have a boat the launching at (nearby) West Alton Marina is easy and they are very accommodating there as well. GREAT VACATION

If you are looking to escape the world with all the comforts of home this is a fantastic choice! Booking and check in was a breeze, Rob is very informative, honest, and accommodating! Myself, husband, and our 4 children ages 23, 9, and 6 were looking to enjoy our Annual Winni Vacation with a bit more adventure than years past! We wanted to give island life a try, It did not disappoint we all enjoyed every minute! Boating, swimming, board games, family meals at the giant table on the deck, sunset, Super Mario Brothers on the old school Nintendo, relaxing in front of the fire, loons, watching the boats go by, sunrise, and sunset.... there was something for everyone!The home is very clean, well stocked, and offers charm with pride of ownership throughout! Rob is such a wonderful host! We can’t wait to return next year!
