Amazing stay

Richard's lake house was absolutely amazing! Very secluded and quiet, you'll feel like you have a small portion of the lake to yourselves. The house is in great shape and has all the amenities needed, we were comfortable there with a baby and multiple family members. I'd recommend to anyone looking for a stay on Winnipesauke, we will book again!

Everything is delightful—spacious, comfortable, lovely view, right on the lake,quiet and peaceful, air conditioning for any really hot days, excellent support from owners. . The kitchen is for real cooks, cooking real meals, even for a crowd. It has everything you need. The kayaks, paddleboard and all the games, books and puzzles are a plus. My family had a wonderful week. You can’t go wrong with this rental.

Our family of six adults and three teenagers had a wonderful time at Lloonrise. Such a beautiful setting conducive to swimming kayaking, relaxing reading hiking you name it. With Wolfboro so close by there’s no limit to what you can do. We discovered a new coffee shop near Tuftonboro called Crust and Crumb (I believe) its treats were a difficult thing to resist. Highly recommend And its treats were a difficult thing to resist. Highly recommend low rise loon rise.Loonrise.

Great location, quiet and beautiful cove

We had plenty of room for our family in this spacious and comfortable house. It is a great location on a quiet cove for kids and adults to swim, kayak, boat and fish. Also, some great spotting of wildlife in the woods surrounding the property. The kids also especially enjoyed finding treasures in the games/toy closet when the weather wasn't cooperative.

Great secluded stay

We had the best time! The home was set up well for our group of three generations. The media room was a great space for entertaining, especially when it was raining. We did lose power several times, but the host was quick to share with us where the flashlights and such were. The wading pool area of the lake was perfect for my 5 year old and for the 60 and 70 year olds in our group to get in and out of the lake. We would absolutely stay here again!

Family Vacation

We had a great vacation. The property was as advertised. The interior was perfect. Plenty of space. Open concept on first floor. We had 10 people on vacation with us. The porch was a bit bigger than I expected, which was nice. It was great having a dock, we rented a boat for a few days. The water in the cove is crystal clear. Richard and Betsy were great hosts. Very responsive to any and every question we had. Would definitely stay here again.

A little piece of Heaven❤️

We had the most wonderful time of our lives at this little piece of Heaven nestled in the New Hampshire woods. Richard and Betsy were so very kind and we felt welcomed into their little part of their world. Their home was very comfortable and clean and well furnished. Right down to the toys for our grandsons! We loved the way their home was laid out. There was a play area for the boys, a comfortable living room for us all of us and a lovely dining room for family meals and games. We enjoyed the tv room and just the friendliness of the area. We also took advantage of the grill and had a cookout on the lovely deck. We took advantage of the lake and the many sites within driving distance. We would most definitely come here again with our family. I know the grandkids are counting on it!

Lake Cabin

Great privacy, perfect cabin on the water. We used the boat dock two days, only issue was the ladder wasn't screwed to the dock. Seemed like a safety issue. It would have been nice to have blinds in the windows in the king bed room. We had an issue with black bugs crawling on king bed and crawling on us at night, we left a night earlier because of it. Would have loved if there was an ac unit in the kitchen/ living room area. With the cost I would have expected the beds to be made and above the shower in the upstairs bathroom was moldy.

Made us feel like family

Outstanding experience. We had car trouble on the way there. Richard and his wife were wonderful. We ended up sending the kids up to the house while we dealt with finding a rental car to be able to continue the trip. Richard and his wife checked on the kids and made sure they were good before we were able to make it there on Sunday afternoon. The house and property were amazing and secluded, yet close to a beautiful town. Overall a great and relaxing vacation, even with the car troubles.
