About this property

Lake Escape, Ski Getaway, Fall Foliage Retreat, Dog-Friendly

Just renovated! This pristine, 2-bedroom, private home is nestled in Locke Lake Colony, a private association that surrounds picturesque Locke Lake in Center Barnstead NH. We just added a new 50" Smart TV with built-in Roku. And we added a new grill, on the brand new deck!

The home sits across the street from the lake with nearby beach access. In Spring, Summer, and early Fall, we provide you with two kayaks, and a badmitton set. Other activities provided within the Colony include bocce ball, cornhole, a playground, a 5-hole golf course, and 5 beaches to access.

In Winter, snowmobile trails are closeby. Ice fishing is allowed on the lake. Gunstock Ski Resort is just a 23 minute ride north.

In Spring, Summer and Gall, Bank of NH Pavillion is an open-air live music venue just 17 miles to the north. Alton Bay on Lake Winnipesauke is just 8 miles away with mini golf, boat rentals, and more.

And Wolfeboro with its ample shops and dining is a short ride.

Explore the region with activities for every season, and come home to your large deck and fire pit, play some board games, or enjoy a game of ping pong in the game room on the lower level, or just kick back and relax.

Ample parking.

For sleep accommodations:
Two bedrooms with queen size beds
One twin-size day bed in living room
One twin-size Trundle Bed under the day bed - can be wheeled into the master bdrm if needed. (Note: children under the age of 5 are not recommended due to safety concerns of the open staircase in main living area.)

Trip to attend a college graduation
The home is lovely. It was fully stocked with necessities. The beds were comfortable. Everything worked properly. The communication with the owner was great. We were not there long enough to explore the area, but the neighborhood is very pretty and was peaceful, at least in November.

Fall Wedding Weekend
Had an ***AMAZING*** long weekend at Virginia's home in Barnstead! It was beautiful, tranquil and immaculate!!! The house had all that you needed! All you have to bring is your food and your clothes! Virginia hits the mark with all the small details from tissues to soap to shampoo, she's amazing! Her communication is superior! Anything that I communicated a question about she had an answer for! The community on the lake is beautiful make sure you take a walk and enjoy it! Virginia, as a host goes above and beyond to make your stay comfortable, enjoyable and as worry free as possible! My son recently got married and I can't wait to come back and rent again with Virginia! I hope she'll have us back again! I highly recommend Virginia as a host and her beautiful home in Barnstead! With Many Thanks from NY, Bea, Paul and our pup Molly!

Very nice property in a nice location
This place was very nice, only one minor issue. I would say if you have any mobility issues the steps to get to the living room are very steep. There is a back entrance that is fine but those front steps could be a problem. Otherwise...five stars.

Why they chose this property

Locke Lake Colony has been part of my life since I was a toddler. It's truly a sweet spot in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire, with a wonderful community of people who embrace Lake Life. The Locke Lake Association provides and maintains beaches, lake health with regular water testing, and amenities such as the 5-hole golf course, playgrounds, and main lodge.

What makes this property unique

This property has just been completely renovated. The home was built for year-round living, so it's ideal for 4-season use. Renovations included all new flooring and baseboards, new entry, updates to plumbing, new roof, new deck, new game room, and a fresh coat of paint throughout.
