Great Family Getaway!

Recently spent 4 days here, and it was perfect for my family. We brought our boat up and was easily able to dock at the house. It was a quick boat ride to Meredith and Wolfboro. Spent a day kayaking and paddleboarding. House was clean and tastefully decorated. The kids had a blast and asked if we could return next year!

Paradise Island!

What a wonderful place to stay. Being on this island in one of the best lakes in all of New England is just amazing. The house is a cute, classic lake cabin with a spectacular view of the mountains. We sat on the deck and watched some of the most beautiful sunsets. We swam, fished, and even took a few boat rides to get dinner in Wolfboro and Meredith. What a treat! This is truly a peaceful sanctuary or as my kids called it, “Paradise Island”

Ling weekend at the lake

We had a delightful stay and the host was communicative, accommodating, and kind. Our kids loved the property and ability to fish from the dock. We would go back!
