Winnipesaukee Lakefront Home with Dock & Views!

Reviews

• Lake House

  5/5

  Perfect place to relax.

• Fun week

  4/5

  Interior of the home was very nice. Access to water was difficult and made worse by the lack of pruning of the bushes that had grown into the already narrow stairway leading to the dock. Parking was difficult, additional information regarding possible places to park another vehicle or trailer would be helpful. A broom and functioning vaccum would also have been helpful. Dock boards, posts, and cletes, were loose in multiple locations with exposed nails facing upwards. Multiple dirty dishes in cabinets, windows were quite dirty.

• Good not great

  3/5

  Pros-This property has an incredible view of the lake and mountains. There is a beautiful dining room table and cozy living area and enclosed porch.The master bedroom is large and the bedding is quite comfortable.

  Location was great for easy day trips to Franconia Notch, the Kank scenic drive and up to North Conway, Portsmouth and a drive along the coast.

  Cons-

  There is a lot of noise from the road. It did quiet down most of the night and there are white noise machines there, but you are basically a car length from a busy road.

  There is no dishwasher, at least while we were there. We were told a renovation of the kitchen was beginning the next day.

  It needs a detailed cleaning. It was mostly adequate except for the upstairs bathroom floor which we called about. Tammy was apologetic and sent someone the next morning to redo it and we met that person on our way out for the day. When we returned the floor was exactly the same, including a wad of hair and visible debris. When I sent a text asking what happened, she said the cleaner told her it looked fine. Needless to say we didn’t walk barefoot or shower in that bathroom.

  The windows and screens needed a thorough cleaning to really maximize the enjoyment of the view. This was disappointing and annoying since the weather was a little cool for sitting outside and we were there for that view!

  Overall it seemed like it was the off season for this cottage and they didn’t really care if everything was ship shape or not.

  Owner's Response: "Hi Kimberly, Thanks for the review and the feedback. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:
  - Yes, the home is on a road that can become busy during certain hours of the day. You will see that other reviews have mentioned this as well, so we include a picture of the front of the home, including the road.
  - Pre-renovation, there was not a dishwasher, nor did the listing state that there was one, therefore I apologize for any miscommunication that you may have received. Post renovation, we did add a dishwasher for our guests to enjoy.
  - Regarding the floor in the bathroom, the vinyl flooring was old and therefore, had a couple of small gouges and scratches on it. We've since renovated the bathroom and it now has high-quality tile so that will no longer be an issue.
  - Your concerns about the windows were also taken care of, as the home now has new windows throughout. We hope this addresses your concerns and look forward to hosting you again!"
