Welcome to Strolling Woods on the enchanting Lake Shore Drive on Webster Lake!

Boasting a warm ambience, this unique property invites you to immerse yourself in its charms.
Embark on scenic walks through 750 private acres of wildlife-filled trails or enjoy a bike ride into town. Fitness enthusiasts can use the full gym, which includes a new Life Fitness cable crossover machine, bench press, dumbbells, incline/decline treadmill, rower, and elliptical machine. Entertain guests in the oversized granite kitchen, additional sunroom, or game room equipped with a pool table, Ping-Pong, foosball, and classic Pac-Man and Galaga machines.
Kids will love the chickens on the property—you can help yourself to fresh eggs from inside the chicken hutch. If apples are in season, there are unlimited pick-your-own apples in the field!
Unwind in the state-of-the-art 24-seat movie theater with stadium seating. A short stroll across a residential road will lead you to 150 feet of sandy beach featuring a screened gazebo and a private boat house with a dock and boat garage.
Inside, enjoy the wet bar, central air-conditioning, three gas fireplaces, and sunroom while taking in breathtaking water views. Feel free to explore the surroundings with bicycles, kayaks, and fishing gear, which are freely available. Take advantage of the convenient boat ramp on the lake, tie up your ski or fishing boat to the private dock, or revel in the backyard's private pond with a brook and a nostalgic 9-hole golf course.
Though the golf course is no longer regularly maintained, it is mowed sporadically, and its tees and greens remain recognizable for those seeking a hearty golfing adventure. Delight in the abundant fishing opportunities on the most heavily stocked lake in all of NH, or savor the tranquility of Webster Lake, free from the heavy boat traffic of larger lakes in the area.
3 out of the 4 lower-level bedroom are designed with their own bathrooms, offering ample privacy. Two main suites and two loft-style bedrooms provide additional comfort and space.

We were a few families staying together for a ski weekend…only a short drive to Ragged Mountain. We had a blast and really enjoyed all the space, the bedrooms, and so many bathrooms! The game room and movie theater were awesome too!!
I had my 40th birthday at this property and it had everything we needed - ample bedrooms, lots of entertainment, and plenty of food storage and kitchen space. I'd absolutely stay again with a big group!
This property worked very well for our family. We cooked all our meals and found everything we needed to cook and serve 13 people. The house was clean and well supplied. We used the kayaks and the bikes, enjoyed the upper patio as well as the deck. We will definitely book this property again
Setting for 3 generation reunion perfect. Webster lake is ideal for all ages and water activities. The sleeping arrangements are quiet with very low noise transmission thru the house

Best Big Family Rental Ever
This was our 4th year renting this property and we continue to feel that it is the best of all worlds for us. We have 10 adults and 6 kids and find there is room for all, plus lots of activities to keep all busy. We have already booked for our 5th year.
We enjoyed our week in New Hampshire! We had family from 4 months old to 78 years and there was plenty of room for all. We had one problem with a bed frame that was broken, but received a response within a few hours. We would return to this property!

Lovely location and overall property with amazing energy.
Walks in the woods, the well-stocked kitchen and great room. The property is just fabulous for our larger-sized group. Very best part were the sunrises 🌅
Overall a great stay - had plenty of bedrooms, everything we needed for our stay, and was perfectly quirky. The place wasn't perfectly clean, but it was also tough for a place that big. Some of the light switches also didn't work, but those are minor quibbles, it was a great stay.

Lakeside Oasis
This property is a bit of paradise on Lake Webster. We have a large family with many small grandchildren. It is perfect for younger families that just want to relax and enjoy their time together. There is plenty of room so all are comfortable and happy too!
This was the perfect spot for our retired siblings and spouses gathering. The living room with a fantastic view of the lake was big enough for all of us to gather comfortably.
Each couple enjoyed lovely bedroom with private bath.
Spacious kitchen with two refrigerators and a second dishwasher was a benefit for our family who all love to cook.
We are already planning our next visit.
Property was lovely, super clean and nice, excellent amenities. Only downside is the WiFi was very slow, which was only a problem since we were on a work offsite and needed to do zoom meetings. For a vacation or leisure trip, this wouldn’t be a problem.

Thank you, Leigha, for your feedback! We are happy you enjoyed this home. We sincerely apologize for the wifi issue you have encountered in the home. We hope to have the opportunity to better impress you in the future!
Exceptional property. Hit the mark on everything we were looking for. We had a multi-generational family vacation that we all enjoyed immensely. Strolling Woods does not disappoint, pictures and description are 100% accurate. Webster Lake is the perfect spot to enjoy our water activities. Kuddos to the host !!!

Amazing NH Family Getaway
We went with a group of families and 5 kids under 2 yrs old. We had a great time exploring the property (Cannot stress how much land there is to explore), feeding the chickens, sitting by the lake and playing in front of the big screen in the movie theatre. At night the adults loved the game room, pool, ping pong, arcade games.
Huge kitchen great for cooking family style meals, plenty of bedrooms and beds. Some were lofts with no way to close off sound from below though so something to keep in mind with young children in those.
The house, the location, the property, and the gorgeous lake just across a quiet street, made our family reunion 50th Anniversary celebration perfect in every way. The house is absolutely beautiful and easily fit all 21 of us. We hiked, swam & kayaked, roasted marshmallows, played soccer and volleyball on the huge lawn, biked around the lake and on the rail trail, exercised in the gym, and fell in love with the chickens. We didn’t want to leave.
