There is plenty of outdoor seating to take in meals or enjoy the views from the large lake-facing deck with dining area, the side entry porch and the expansive lawn that joins the wide beach. A guest favorite is sitting by the lake-side fire pit taking in amazing sunsets across 12 miles to open water to the mountains.

Summary: We came up to the house for a few days in October. Weather was beautiful - Lakeview nothing but stunning. The house is very charming. The old NH lakehouse vibes are tangible at all times. Very clean, very well equipped. As the nights were at freezing temperature we appreciated that the house always felt warm and cozy. Amazing place to stay with an extended family.

Summary: Somehow, midsummer, we stumbled into this property due to a cancellation that they had. Just a big family looking to be together on the lake, with a rented pontoon boat, a private dock and a firepit at the water's edge. We cruised the lake at dusk watching the lights around the lake come on and then sat around the fire for a wonderful end to the day. Lots of places to walk and experience lake life, lots of outside fun and laughter. This place is very special. The owners could not have been more accommodating. I know that no one will forget this weekend and we will be looking to do it all over again as soon as we can!

Summary: The only thing i was missing here was more time to stay :-) This house is gorgeous! a family home built upon over generations to make the perfect Winnipesauke getaway. Plenty of comfortable rooms to stay in, plenty of space for your entire crew to spread out... even in the rain. We were lucky to find this house when the house we originally rented did not meet expectations. Keith and Karyn were excellent hosts; Karyn gave us the nickel tour and some history of the property which was intriguing and gave us the sense of home and family just to hear about it. Keith was very responsive with any questions asked. The kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms were all very clean and well equipped... truly the best location we could see rentable on the lake; beautiful beachfront with a fire pit and sunsets that were breathtaking. This house made for the perfect turn around to what could have been a failed vacation. THANK YOU KEITH AND KARYN!!! we will be back.

Summary: We had a wonderful stay at the property. The owners were very responsive with any questions/issues. The yard and beach are top notch. A perfect place for our kids to play and for us to relax. The only issue we had is that the rooms were a bit smaller in real life than they appeared in the pictures, which was a problem for fitting pack n’ plays in. Not all rooms can accommodate them, as an FYI for those traveling with infants/toddlers. Other than that, the house was great and our family had a fantastic week!
