Summary: Our family had a wonderful stay at Little Bear Island the first week in September. It was a truly great stay. We enjoyed the house and being able to spend time on the water. The communication before and during our stay was excellent and the guidance on how to navigate to the island dock was so appreciated. We rented a boat from Trexler's Marina and they also provided excellent and responsive service. Our family, including kids were so grateful for the chance to spend a week on this island and to be on Lake Winnipesaukee.

Summary: We loved our stay on Little Bear. We were very pleased with the location, as it's in a calmer part of the lake. Less traffic, far less wake at the dock than other properties we've stayed at. We felt right at home with the property, very well appointed. Nice not having to boat your trash out or bring bottled water. Dock has bumpers in all the right spots. Just pull up and cleat up. It's the little things like this that pay dividends when you're on an island. Place was clean, excellent wifi, plenty of the things you may forgotten back at home were already in place. Greg is very responsive, and truly wants his customers to enjoy their stay. Super happy about our time on the lake.

Summary: This home exceeded our expectations! It had everything we needed and more. My husband and two boys (ages 8 and 10) enjoyed fishing and kayaking, while I soaked up the gorgeous sunrises and swam in the lake. It’s the perfect location with so much to do in the area from hiking trails with waterfalls to nice beach spots on the lake. The owners are wonderful people who were more than accommodating with any questions and concerns we had. We can’t wait to go back!

Summary: Just a great stay, can’t say enough about the host, house and property, well kept, great dock for the boat, this property is the definition of a vacation home. Everything you need is there, the host goes above and beyond to make sure the guest are happy. The area on the island is beautiful with great views. Nothing at all negative to say about the host and property. Had such a relaxing and great time with just me and my 18 yr old son, great fishing as well. Thanks again the the host.

Summary: We absolutely love staying on Little Bear Island! As avid boaters, it is such a unique experience to be able to stay on an island (and something we'd never be able to afford otherwise!!)!!! This property is perfect for our low-key and relaxing family weekend. The owners are such fantastic people and make you feel like family when you're there! The property is lovely and has everything we could ask for. We look forward to many more Memorial Day weekends on Little Bear!!!

Summary: I've done the island thing on Winni many times before so I had a good idea what to expect, and I wasn't disappointed. It was all very relaxing, clean, very nice place. For some reason we thought there was a washer/dryer, when I went back to the listing I didn't see it so I guess I was confused. But I would definitely suggest they be added. Tracking down and using a laundromat is a real detriment when you're on an island and on vacation and I'd rather do a small wash on wednesday than bring more out with me. Just a suggestion, like I said, it was a good relaxing time.

Summary: The home was exactly as described and the pictures were accurate. The views were awesome...we caught a couple sunrises which were beautiful. We used the kyacks and the canoe...fished from the dock. The home had everything we needed for a family of 6. We rented a boat from Trexlers Marina which worked out pretty well. I'd recommend renting from a nearby marina as you'll need your car from time to time for day trips/grocery shopping...a nearby marina will simplify island logistics. The lake is huge and the open water areas can get rough-we rented a 21 foot boat and I wouldn't have wanted anything smaller. The hosts were EXTREMELY responsive and really went above and beyond. I left a life jacket behind that belonged to the marina and the hosts returned it for us...How nice!

Summary: The perfect spot for our family! Two teen boys and two large dogs, us and even a friend joined us one night. Plenty of room - we grilled, cooked dinners, did WFH - my husband took a zoom meeting video on and NO issues. Kids used the kayaks, canoe, paddle board, streamed TV, hooked up their switch. The family was wonderful to deal with, good communication and good conversation. We would recommend anyone rent this place - just not when WE want to come back again ;) Thank you for your hospitality!
