Summary: The manager went MIA 1 day before check in . I had to reachout to the host from the dock to meet him for parking passes. His name is Irwen. Although it took some time for me to undergo a constructive conversion with him, we figured eachother out over the week . Theres confusion with bringing your own boat to property. The parking dosnt allow trailers. We had 2 skis and had to separate and park at different locations. After we arrived we found being rushed to time-lines to shuttle gear and people to the island. Irwen didnt have help to do this, mind you hes 87 and has a walker. I was taken back by his adversity and willing to accommodate. So of course we did everything we could to help. The property was unique and challenging for getting around . Not for everyone. There was no AC and 2 fans. The property is shared and the long routes through the woods and around the tennis court to get to gym and boat house were not great. The wifi or cable was not working, sheets and bedding was missing in the small cabin . No toiletries but bar soap and 2 rolls. Cobbwebbs and bird droppings coved deck areas. That was the first night . The second day Irwin explained the cleaning crew didnt show..and had someone come through with leaf blower, new sheets were brought , his son showed up in our living room at 10am shoeless ,hungover asking if the cable worked. Let himself in. Never fixed it. Irwin would be pleasant then abrupt wite could to make it easy on him . The property was unique and

Summary: We had a wonderful time at the property. Very unique, with all the structures and buildings and so much land and space to explore. In the center of this island we found a wiffle ball field that the kids loved. Hot tub and outdoor shower in the bigger home was really nice. Smaller home was perfect for guests that came throughout the week. Having parking passes at the nearby boat launch parking was helpful. If bringing your own boat and need to store a trailer Fays will do for nightly charge of $10/night, which is close by where the launch is. Owner is close by in a nearby house, however you wont even know hes there unless you reach out to him. His son and staff is also very friendly and helpful.

Summary: Irwin's property is truly one of a kind. We planned this trip for our small wedding ceremony, just my fiance & me and our immediate familes. There was 9 of us plus an infant. The two separate houses made for the perfect set up for two families with plenty of space. The dock has 180 views with shots of the sunrise AND sunset. We had a pontoon and two jet skiis and there was plenty of room on our side of the dock. The owner lives right next door & was available for our every need, but kept to himself for the rest of the stay. Would stay there again in a heartbeat!

Summary: We just returned from an exquisite week on Welch Island. The two building rental was spectacular and impeccably clean upon arrival. My 20 year old son loved having the Bunk House to himself with its deck right over the water. The rest of us fit perfectly into the beautiful main house with wonderful views of the water, gorgeous land and woods. Island air is just different from the mainland and we really lucked out with the weather. Be aware that this is not your typical vacation rental. You will be on a 30 acre property with the owner's home right next to yours. This was never an issue for us but it does create a different sort of feeling than renting an independent vacation home. We were so impressed with how well the land is being maintained and not over-developed. The owner is clearly committed to preserving the natural beauty of this island property that has been in the family for generations. Finally, to have the most autonomy and fun, I think it is really important to have your own boat for the entire duration of your stay. If you can't manage that, be aware that the owner is more than happy to bring you to shore at times that work within his schedule. This makes perfect sense but this isn't the impression we got from the rental agent he has managing the VRBO account. We needed rides at 3 specific times other than pick up and drop off. I gave these to the agent 3 months in advance. Upon our arrival, it was clear that the owner was unaware of these specific dates. It all completely worked out in the end but it was unexpected. If you bring your own boat, you would have no issues, and be able to enjoy this magnificent island retreat with absolutely no stress. We have traveled to many places over the years and this one was particularly special. Enjoy!

Summary: We had such a wonderful stay at North Ledges during this first vacation on Lake Winnipesaukee The guesthouse was exactly what we were looking for - beautifully updated, clean, comfy and right on the water. Everything else I saw was either too big/expensive for a young family of four or a little TOO rustic/outdated. Though the side effects of Tropical Storm Isaias made for a bit more of an adventure than we anticipated, Irwin (while recovering from surgery!) was in constant contact to help ensure we were safe and comfortable. Before and after the storm, we did it all. Swam out by Table Rock or just off our dock, played tennis on the private court, kayaked, fished, boated around the gorgeous lake, sunbathed on the dock, relaxed in the hot tub, explored the large property..you name it! I’ve never experienced crystal clear water like that before and had a hard time staying out of it. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back!

Summary: This spot cannot be beat. We really enjoyed our time on Welch Island. Water sports, hiking trails, hot tub, using the gym, and grilling dinners nightly were all highlights. Very comfortable accommodations. Host was very gracious and responsive.

Summary: Our family enjoyed the peaceful and beautiful stay at this home. We have two boys (9 and 5) and they had so much fun swimming, playing tennis, relaxing in the hot tub, walking the trails, fishing and riding in the boat. It was a fun week for everyone. The owner is very nice and all the staff on the island are super friendly.

Summary: We had a wonderful week with our grandsons here on the island. There were so many wonderful things to do! The property is in beautiful condition, with a tennis court, a flower garden, a gym with a concept to rower and a very new treadmill and other equipment, a dark area with two kayaks and a canoe, and a television system with lots of movies and activities. There are rafts for swimming in the lake and our dock area was nestled into a northern spot on the island. Irwin, the owner was very generous of his time and drove us back-and-forth once a day so that we could run errands or do other activities. There is a staff on the compound, so there are many people there to help out. The hot tub is for straight and right there on the deck with a view of the Lake. There are no long walking trails, since there are many homes, about 60, on the lake. We had a wonderful time!
