This was our 6th year staying here. We love it! I love the beach chairs, toys and multiple boats. The house itself is on the small side, but it works for a small family. The beach front is the real gem.

Lovely place to stay for a family. The kids had a ball just staying on the lake all day, and it was close to many other things to do. We enjoyed hiking, biking, and visiting North Conway. An amazing trip with lots of memories!

Amazing little slice of heaven on a small quiet pond. Awesome sandy beach for kids to play and get in and out of the water safely. The cottage is adorable and kept in pristine condition. Our host Judi was extremely communicative and welcoming! Would love to book again next year!

We had a great week! The house was wonderful and very clean. The beach was beautiful, and it was so nice having it just steps away. The kids absolutely loved it. The host was amazing—very kind, welcoming, and informative. We had a fantastic stay and would definitely recommend this property to others!

Wonderful family vacation

This is the third time we’ve stayed at this property, Judy is always great, making sure we have everything we need. The house is perfect, great sandy beach for the kids, shallow for them to be able to swim easily and safely. Close to North Conway, plenty to do. Can’t wait to go back!

The perfect place to stay if you are looking for a relaxing and private get away. Located just 15 minutes from North Conway with so much to do but I couldn’t convince my 9 year old to leave the private beach and lake most days. The home was also very clean and the hostess Judi was responsive and so kind. Such a fun time with many memories made.

Cozy lakeside cabin

My husband and I were looking for a cozy get away by a lake to enjoy the fall colors. We found the perfect place. The cabin was inviting and cozy. Judi was a great host and communicated very well. We'd definitely recommend this place.

The chalet was just what we were looking for. We spent the days skiing and came back to a nice, peaceful night's sleep. The owner was responsive to our questions and I know we'll be back!

A nice family - just what we look for as an owner. I can see them in the lake with the kayak or fishing poles this summer. 🎣 Perhaps they’ll be cooking marshmallows by the fire pit.

This was our fourth time staying here and we are already looking forward to coming back next year! Nice sandy beach for the kids, love the canoe and kayaks!

Great property- tucked away, yet so close to town!

We could not have been happier with our stay at the Lakehouse! The home was both inviting and relaxing. The bunk beds - a huge hit. The owner was very responsive and helpful. The private beachfront looks to be the perfect space for the summer. We're already planning a return trip in August!

Fantastic and Relaxing Fall Getaway

Judith’s place is wonderful! A perfect cabin in the perfect spot. We barely left all week because it had everything we needed! We were out on the canoe almost every day, had bonfires, cooked on the grill and read on the dock. The cabin itself was clean and well stocked! When we finally did leave, we headed up to the Kancamagus for a fall hike. It’s very well located, close to great trails as well as Conway and North Conway. We hope to come back again.

Second time staying, such a great place!

My wife, son and I returned to Judi's place earlier in the year for our second stay - we've been staying in Eidelweiss for years, and really enjoy this little cottage by the lake. It's the perfect place to hang out and let the kids enjoy themselves swimming, fishing, kayaking, or just floating around. Great views from the deck, and the place is very well stocked with all the misc. supplies you need. Excellent cottage overall, and Judi was a pleasure to deal with. We will definitely be back!

Annual summer vacation

Judi was so nice left treats for the kids and the adults. The property was perfect for the kids. We had a tough time getting the kids out of the water! The pond was great nice and quite great for paddle boarding and swimming. Great location close to everything we needed. This was our third summer at the property and Judi does a great job. The house is small in size but was enough for our family of 4. It was fun the house has a rustic vibe and the kids just loved the beach and all the floats for the pond that Judi had there and the toys.
