About this house rental
Enjoy your hard-earned vacation on Locke Lake, relaxing and making beautiful memories at our beautiful and modern lakefront home! Our property is located in the large, open wake area of Locke Lake which makes it perfect for canoeing, kayaking, paddle boarding (all included in rental), fishing and swimming. The house is located on a quiet dirt road off of Varney Road and is equipped with high-speed WiFi and cable television.
Our home accommodates up to 8 guests, with a maximum of 6 adults at all times. Children under the age of 3 do not count in the 8-person maximum. We do not allow smoking, large events, or parties on our property.
Enjoy our private 75 foot, well maintained sandy beach and dock, zero gravity beach chairs and in-ground fire pit which is perfect for relaxing by the fire and roasting marshmallows. Relax on lake time, enjoying beautiful summer days, breathtaking sunrises and sunsets, and star lit evenings on our private beach.
Our beach water area is spacious and is shallow enough for young children to enjoy a clean, sandy bottom, with a gentle slope into the deeper water just past the dock. Included with your rental are 2 paddle boards, two 1-person kayaks, one 2-person kayak, one 3-person canoe, and a 5-person paddleboat. Life jackets are provided for children and adults.
Bring your fishing gear! Fishing is plentiful on Locke Lake with freshwater bass, trout and perch (per NH law, a NH fishing license is required for anyone 16 years or older). Or just enjoy your day sitting along the sandy shoreline and watching minnows swim by.
Pack lightly! We are well stocked with sand toys, beach towels and board games. There is a separate play area with plenty of toys to keep the kids entertained and give them space from the adults.
We have three spacious bedrooms, each with air conditioning and wall mounted TVs. The main first-floor bedroom has a king-size bed. The upstairs bedrooms have queen-size beds, with one bedroom containing a twin mattress (and an air mattress) suitable for children to use on the floor. There is also a portable Pack N' Play (with sheets and a blanket) which can be used in any bedroom.
Linens, pillows and blankets are provided for each of the beds at no additional charge.
The first-floor bathroom is next to the master bedroom and has a shower stall. The second-floor bathroom connects to both bedrooms and has a full-size shower and bathtub. Liquid hand soaps, toilet paper, bath towels and face cloths are provided.
The eat in kitchen is stocked with cleaning supplies, trash bags, dish soap, spices, air fryer, hand and stand mixers, basic baking pans, a full-size refrigerator, stove, microwave, dishes, bowls, cups, dining utensils and cookware. We also provide a second, full-size refrigerator/freezer for extra food storage during your stay.
From the French doors in the living room, walk out onto the deck and relax on the patio furniture and enjoy your coffee watching the morning sunrise on the lake, or walk down from the deck to the beach and enjoy your meals on the picnic table. Later on in the day, spark up the grill and have your dinner enjoying picturesque sunsets on the lake.
No need to leave the furry family members behind! We allow up to 3 friendly, housebroken dogs with an additional pet fee of $100/pet. There is a runner in the back yard which goes the length of the beach, as well as tie outs that can be used anywhere on the ground.

We had an awesome time at the lake! The house was very clean and well stocked with all of the amenities you need. The listing was accurate and the owner was very reponsive. Our daughter really enjoyed the beach, kayaks/paddle boards, the play area in the basement and the selection of board games to wind down at the end of the day. The beach was amazing and went right into the water without having any large rocks or stairs to get there like some of the other lake houses we've rented in the past. So glad it was pet friendly, our labs swam the day away and enjoyed their time at the lake just as much as the rest of the family! Great place to sit back and relax for your stay!!

This was our second stay at this home, and we absolutely LOVE it. There is no need to bring anything extra as the house is stocked with sand toys, beach towels, extra blankets and pillows. Having the AC in the bedrooms is wonderful, as the house gets the breeze off the water, but it's nice to have the AC at bedtime. It's a quiet and peaceful location, and the association has lots of amenities. The fishing is fantastic. There were more weeds in the water this year than when we've stayed in the past, but they did come treat while we were there, so I'm sure that will alleviate the problem. Denise is responsive to all questions, and so helpful when you are looking for recommendations for something. We absolutely adore this property!

We just returned from a week at this home on Locke Lake and had a wonderful time.
Denise was extremely accommodating and responsive to any questions that we had. The house had plenty of space for the 4 adults, 3 children and one dog that stayed the week. The house is well equipped with everything you need.
The beach area was perfect for young kids with plenty of room to play and a nice shallow slope into the water. Also the home is stocked with plenty of games to keep the kids entertained in case of a rainy day. Not to mention, the fishing was pretty good as we were able to catch several good sized bass and catfish in the evening.
The house is very pet friendly. I was pleasantly surprised to find that a dog runner was already setup on the beach area and also a gate for the deck so we could let the pup hang out on the porch and enjoy the view.
I am already missing my morning coffee on the deck while taking in the view.
We will definitely consider booking again in the future!

We had the best family vacation ever! There were 4 adults and 3 children ages 7, 5, and 10 months. We fished, swam, went searching for turtles, kayaked.... that's just the beginning. There are endless outdoor games, board games, children's toys, etc to keep everyone occupied. The kitchen is STOCKED with anything you may need. All linens smelled fresh upon arrival and the house was super clean. The owner was easily accessible to answer any questions. We will be back next year!
