Welcome to your family-friendly waterfront vacation rental, with everything you need for the ultimate lakeside retreat! Nestled onto 100 feet of pristine Pine River Pond shoreline in a secluded cove, this newly renovated house is perfect for kayaking, canoeing, fishing, hiking, water skiing, swimming, grilling, or just chilling out by the water. With a comfortably furnished patio and deck, private dock, and beautiful sunrise and sunset views right from home, you may not get far - but when you want to explore, Wolfeboro is around 16 miles away and offers lots of restaurants, shopping, and sightseeing. The lakes region also abounds in hiking trails, farmer’s markets, festivals, and activities happening on any given summer weekend.
At home, start the day with coffee on your deck, listening to the loons on the water - you may even be lucky enough to see them in the cove. Inside, you’ll find a cozy cabin vibe, with hardwood floors, pine-paneled walls, and an open layout. The full, well-equipped kitchen makes meal prep easy, and you can grab a bite together at the dining room table. Even better - step outside and dine alfresco on the deck. After a day of exploring, relax at home in the central AC. Entertainment options include books, board games, free high-speed WiFi, an iPod docking station, a DVD player, and large movie library. End the evening back outside by the lake, roasting marshmallows around the fire pit, with wood thoughtfully provided. Lake life awaits - all that’s left to do is book!

Location was great--peaceful, calm, serene. House was very comfortable. Had issues with Vacasa and a definite lack of communication and/or miscommunication.

Relaxing getaway
The lake was gorgeous and the views from the deck were amazing.
Wonderful getaway. My wife and I enjoyed our stay. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets over the pond. Very quiet and relaxing. It was everything as advertised.Mistakenly, when we left this morning we accidentally took the Mr. Coffee maker thinking it was ours. We're more than happy to replace or package up and return to you, whichever is easier. It was a Model SK13. Please let us know what you would like us to do.We more than likely will rent again at some future time.Thank you,Bill Stantial

Property was in great shape with a nice balance between rustic and modern finishes.
We had a great time and the owners were very thoughtful with the small things like onsite laundry, providing linens, wifi, etc.
Absolutely beautiful view of the lake. Secluded and peaceful. A perfect getaway.

great lakeside retreat
The cabin is stocked and very clean, lovely view across the lake. Beautifully furnished, the lake itself was perfect for swimming. Not too many restaurants or grocery stores in the area so best if you are looking to unplug and hang out at the cabin.
We had a lot of fun being right on the lake. The shallow and sandy waterfront right in front of the house is perfect for kids. The house was also the perfect size/space for the four of us.

Couldn't have asked for a better place!
I loved every minute of our stay. The cabin was pretty, comfortable and clean. The setting was amazing. The pond is crystal clear and so much wildlife. I highly recommend this vacation home.
My wife and I stayed here with our two dogs for the week for an anniversary get away. It had an amazing view of the lake and had everything we needed. Only about 20 minutes away from stores and restaurants and we were pleasantly surprised by how clean it was upon check in. Would definitely come here again.
Clean, house updated. Would give it 5 stars, except 1. The stairs to the bedrooms is steep with irregular stairs. Not good for elders and small children 2. Access to the beach is the same with few rails or guards. 3. Pans for fried food are scratched and handle very loose. 4. A mouse problem! Came out every evening to greet us. Mouse droppings on counters and sink.
We had a great week, house was clean well stock with supplies needed. Lake is great for fishing, swimming and boating. Plan to go back next year.

Fantastic location
My wife and I and our dog had an amazing week on the lake at this property. The house is a great combination of cozy and modern with newer kitchen appliances and a new bathroom. Comfortable king-size bed with plenty of pillows.

Family friendly vacation
We all liked the cottage: plenty of room for four adults and one child, well equipped kitchen, two living rooms with a television in each, aiery bedrooms with comfortable beds and a deck with expansive views of the pond. Quiet surroundings with easy access from the main road. Well supplied local markets and scenery everywhere.
Great property, nicely shaded. We'll equipped house, with full kitchen and wifi and several TV's (that we didn't need with the great views of the lake). It would be nice if kayaks were provided, but we were able to rent some nearby.

Perfect little cabin in the woods. My family loved the view and peace and quiet.
This cabin is just as advertised...clean, quiet, and with a lakeside view. My kids loved the couches and TV'S and the adults appreciated the comfortable beds and clean/cozy linens. I brought my own linens but went with what was provided since everything was well prepared. This is a great place to relax and enjoy the view!

Wakefield Cottage
Beautiful view, small town feel, great scenery while walking around and pretty private. You're not alone, but people either kept to themselves or were friendly. The place itself is a nice mix of rustic and modern. You get the cabin feel, but with wifi and cable. I most definitely would go again.
Everything about this place was amazing. The pictures of the pond do not do it justice. The cabin was immaculate. We had incredible weather and caught many bass right off the dock. There are some neighbors close by but it was really quiet. I can't recommend this place enough.
Property is situated in between 2 others and directly in the water. Cottage is rustic but clean and well prepared for guests.
There is not much in the way if privacy but the lake is beautiful. 25 minutes to some great hiking. Overall a comfortable stay.
