Very nice getaway
We had a very nice family vacation in Alton Bay. We haven’t been to LW in 20 or more years and have previously stayed in Moultonborough. This was a nice area, not a lot around but a few restaurants within walking distance. The lake was beautiful. There were limited pics of the rooms for a reason. Very small. Decent amenities. 3 bedrooms, 1 with king, 2 bedrooms with bunks (full sized bottom). 1 small br with toilet, sink, shower. Tiny. Then a very small bathroom with toilet and sink, another room (closet sized) shower only. 2 living room couches that pull out to sleepers. It is loud here but there were white noise machines in most (all?) rooms. The noise didn’t bother any of us. Thin walls so people next door were loud up late talking loud. But we didn’t speak up, when they saw us look out the window, they quieted down. We borrowed a pack n play. I’d recommend bringing your own. Mold/mildew smell. Here was my issue….people kept coming to the door thinking it is Vacaza office. It was not. We had 5 separate groups come to the door over our 7 day stay. 3 of them walked right in or tried. I let Vacaza know and Steve was very responsive to my mention of it but stated no one had ever complained/mentioned this happening in the past. If you are reading this, Steve, yes it happened 2 more times after we spoke. He profusely apologized and stated that the check in directions have since been updated to make them more clear, moving forward. I’d still recommend..

Family Vacation
The stay was great, the location on the lake is beautiful. The property managers are very responsive. Great place for a vacation with groups of all ages. We were able to rent a boat and many other things from them which is very convenient. The house is along a busy road so can get a little loud at times but overall the area is pretty quiet. Would stay again!

Great location-wonderful hosts!
The house is well located and well maintained and the hosts could not be better. The beds were super comfortable and the kitchen had all we needed. The real star is the lake and the dock. The lake is clear and you can see the fish come right up. The dock has ample space for the everyone to hang out and the water is deep enough you can cannonball off the end. A real plus is the ease of renting boats, PWC, and/ or floats right next door from the hosts.

Perfect pre season getaway
It the beginning of the season so there are bound to be some hiccups but the host was super responsive and handled everything quickly. House is a bit smaller than appear in pictures. Says it sleeps 12 but that really is a stretch. We had 6 and that was fairly packed. We had a day where we lost water. The hot tub needed treatment so was down for a couple days. Only 2 small pans. Need a large pan Master bedroom curtains don’t cover the whole window so get ready for some bright mornings Perfect location in Alton Bay. The weather was not great so we had a lot of in-house time. If the weather was better we would have been out more.

Great for teens
We came for a night to celebrate my son's 14th birthday. We brought 7 of his friends. It was perfect for them, they loved the pool table and game room, as well as the hot tub. It was definitely smaller than I expected based on the pictures, so we were packed in a little closer than I thought we would be. But it was great for what we needed and the boys had a blast.

Great Time at Lake Winni
This was our first time staying on Lake Winni and we really enjoyed it. We had up to 8 people total staying with us and our 2 golden retrievers and it was perfect. It was wonderful to be right on the water with a dock. We also rated paddle boards for the week from the same company, which was great. We would definitely stay here again.

Great location on the lake.
House was in a great location on the lake, with easy lake access. We rented a boat and had an easy time getting in and out of the boat slip. House had all the amenities that we needed. Owners were very quick to respond to questions. Only big drawback for this house is it being so close to a very busy road, but we really enjoyed our stay!

We had a great week at this property. It's definitely campy but that's perfect for us. The waterfront has a great dock for your boat and sandy bottom swimming area. Plenty of chairs and the game room was a huge hit! Inside there are 2 kitchens! Great communication from Steve! House also includes amenities not listed like Cornhole boards, kayaks and a huge Bluetooth speaker to use. Would definitely stay here again!

Stay far, far away
There are major red flags with this property. First of all the windows in the front of the building are absolutely disgusting. They are severely deteriorated and covered in dust, mold, and flaking paint. The one in the front kitchen is so disintegrated that the bottom is falling off and it cannot be locked. They were all stuffed with old brown-stained paper towels in an effort to keep the water out. There are visible gaps to the outside of the property. It is also just a few feet from a busy road and there are no curtains or blinds. There was other various damage to the property such as water damaged ceiling tiles, tears in the carpet, and damaged door seals. The house has a strong dank/smokey odor. The top bunk bed had a broken bed slat underneath that was very sharp, and we found a nail protruding from the wall where our kid was playing. We went looking for pots and pans to cook and were shocked to find the drawer under the stove with the cookware was full of mouse droppings. Both of the kitchen areas had a small device plugged in to an outlet which turned out to be ultrasonic rodent repellent devices - so it is clear that the owner is aware of a rodent problem. We also found mouse droppings in one of the utensil drawers. There is an undisclosed security camera pointed at the hot tub, which made us uncomfortable to the point where we would not use it. The second day a crew of landscapers showed up with no notice from the owner. Three of them were using very loud leaf blowers and proceeded to move around the property clearing leaves, waking up the baby, etc. Most of the windows have no curtains so they were able to see right inside. The owner was quick to dismiss the issues when we brought them up but really had no excuse for the mouse droppings, even though it is clearly a known issue with the property. They claimed the windows were being fixed “next week” and they just became aware of them. Well, what good does that do us? They clearly have been in a state of decay for months based on the amount of dust and detritus on them. They offered to move us to an adjacent property, but this was not an acceptable solution. The one thing they would not do is offer any refund whatsoever. There is a reason this property has a no-refund policy. We booked for 4 nights and only stayed one - it was a massive waste of money and we have no recourse to get any back. Do yourself a favor and stay somewhere else.

Cute little place
Beautiful views! This place is an older quaint little lake house. It has everything you need. It was everything we needed it to be for our girls weekend. The game room is a bit smaller than it appears in the pics but who cares. It could use a few extra dish towels and pot holders but again, not a big deal. Property manager was super friendly, accessible for questions and very responsive. Thanks Steve!

Cold and cramped
The cottage was much smaller than the pictures made it look. All windows are desperately in need of repair- gaping holes in many, it left the house freezing cold. The heat was locked so no adjustments could be made, and there were not enough blankets. There was no deadbolt lock, and another exterior door opened upon pushing it- locked or not. It was a very precarious situation, as the house is on a very busy highway. There was literally no sense of security in keeping us safe, as well as keeping my toddler from opening doors to outside. Nothing like spending a chunk of money to go to relax with your family… to not be able to relax with your family. Very very disappointing all around.
