Perfect week on the lake with family
Our family had a wonderful week enjoying all this property has to offer. The house is nicely furnished and comfortable for a large family to spread out. We really enjoyed the large beach access to the lake, where we spent most of our time. Would highly recommend and we all hope to be back next year!

This was our second year in a row staying at this property and we are planning to be back again next year. We have a large group of two families with children ranging from 4 years old to teenagers. There is plenty to do and plenty of space for everyone. You cannot beat the location and Andrew and Jodi are very responsive.

Beautiful Stay on the Water
Our party of 10 had a great stay at Witt’s End. Beautiful reclaimed Barnwood home right on the lake, with 4 comfortable bedrooms and one additional suitable for kids. Nice beach area right out back, plenty of kayaks/canoes/SUP to enjoy. Nice game room. Large, level back yard. Good A/C in main area and the four main bedrooms. Very convenient to town, and its end of the road location made for no traffic at the house. Beautiful view of the mountains from the back porch.

Great rustic modern cabin on lake
This was a pretty cool house! Rustic modern. Loved the record collection and we had a great time bonding with our late teen sons over board games and cards. Convenient to North Conway, NH for skiing. Very clean and listing was very accurate. Would definitely stay here again. Must be beautiful in the summer.

Peaceful waterfront
We really enjoyed our stay at this lovely house on a beautiful lake with a big grass area for our grandchildren and dog to run around. The super hosts were very responsive and accommodating to our requests. The lakefront area was super fun for our family as we made great use of the kayak, canoes and paddle board. The house has a well equipped kitchen although some cookware should be replaced as it was old and worn. There are many board games and some outdoor games as well. We loved the screened in porch! Bedrooms were just as pictured. The master suite was really nice and comfortable. House was well stocked with towels for waterfront and showering. Firepit was great! Having said all these great things there are some things that should be addressed. Lighting in kitchen and dining area as well as by the barbecue in the screened in both was poor. The bedroom off the kitchen does not have a window shade so when the sun comes up, the people sleeping there know it. Master bathroom window in the shower at holes in the screen which let bugs in. We actually plugged with pieces of tissues. The screen door out to the balcony from the master suite was ripped preventing us from opening the door to allow for fresh Maine air and cross ventilation in that room. Unfortunately the hot tub was broken which the hosts did tell us that in advance, which we appreciated rather than finding out upon arrival.

Family vacation
The house is exactly as described. Plenty of room for a large family. Unfortunately (not the owners fault) the mosquitoes were so bad we couldn’t go outside and enjoy the beautiful lake. My only issues were there was opened and cooked food still in the fridge when we got there and the people before us must have had a dog because there was still some dog poop in the yard. Minor issues we took care of ourselves. Overall we still enjoyed the week.

Pictures don't do it justice!
Gorgeous, cool, well appointed post and beam barn convert, we were surprised and pleased with the house. Really unique property not like anywhere we have ever stayed. The beds and linens were top notch like 5 star hotel quality and the mini-split AC's were a LIFE SAVER in humid July. Kitchen was immaculate and every glass/plate/utensil you pull from the drawer was clean (after dozens of rental houses this is a true novelty). Great house, can't wait to come back next year!

Amazing Location
Beautiful location right on Lovewell pond with nice sandy beach for swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding. Very private property with large yard. Plenty of areas to hang out both inside and out including fire pit and hot tub. Perfect for large groups and all ages. Andrew and Jodi are very responsive. We will be back!

Fryeburg family lake getaway
This was our first family vacation in many years and it did not disappoint. Even though it rained the entire time, the view was wonderful, there were many games & puzzles, a turn table & albums, great appliances and a grill under cover for making family meals, a hot tub, and plenty of room for all of us including our Golden Retriever. The area has many things to do -we ate at the 302 Tavern - (really good food, large portions) took in a movie, and planned to get a photo op in Denmark, ME since one of the boys is moving to Copenhagen next month. We didn't miss the TV. The house is off the beaten path and, though other cottages are nearby, it felt very private. If you like lake living with a little rustic glam, this is for you.

Just Like Staying in a Friend's House
The best things about this house are all the things that you would do in your own vacation house (as opposed to the things that people do in a house that's used solely for rental income): plenty of hooks in the entryway dishwasher drawers, and a farm sink and faucet in the kitchen 2 indoor dining tables that seat as many people as the house sleeps raised dog bowls and a dog bed throw blankets screened porch/deck railings that don't obstruct the view a Weber grill a secitonal, hammock and Adirondack chairs, and chaise lounges on the screened porch/deck a hot tub brimming with really ot water that fits 8 people a coat roack to dry hot tub towels central air on the main floor and quiet, remote-controlled bedroom ACs that don't take up windows a beautifully-decorated master suite with a ceiling fan that that looks like a work of art a sandy beach area and sand-bottomed swimming area That said, we desperately needed more light in the kitchen and the kitchen cabinets are not updated. And while the house was mostly spotless, there were some cobwebs and food/personal items left from previous people. We've visited North Conway 1-2 times a year in all seasons for 20+ years. We were concerned about thie house's location 20 minutes from downtown North Conway, but it turned out to be a bonus because we got off the beaten path, felt like locals, and discovered new favorites like the 302 West Smokehouse and Saco River Brewing (thanks to the host's recommendations).

Great stay
My friends and I came for a friends weekend and had a blast. Great location for a relaxing weekend by the fire and chilling on the porch. Easy access to the water and the provided canoes, kayaks and paddleboards were a plus.

This was the perfect getaway! We came up with family and friends and it accommodated everyone!
We had such an amazing time and made lasting memories. We canoed the lake, relaxed in the jacuzzi, enjoyed a nice fire and s’mores one night and had some serious ping pong competitions! It was wonderful knowing that everything you could possibly need was at this house. 6 children under the age of 12 all were busy and occupied having fun throughout the property and house. Plenty for everyone to do and enjoy!

Awesome!
We absolutely loved our stay at this home! The house is even better than the pictures and it was big enough for our family to spread out, and we especially loved the multiple indoor and outdoor living areas. Note that the room with 2 bunks is very tiny and has no window, really only suitable for kids. Perfect jumping off point for paddles directly from the camp to the Saco river, hiking in Maine or New Hampshire, shopping, eating, and trying new breweries. Would definitely rent this place again!

Great porch, quiet location, lovely views
Overall great location, quiet and relaxing. We were happy to have a great enclosed porch on which to spend time reading, doing puzzles, playing games and eating dinner. The bedroom types worked well for our group. Master bedroom is very nice, recently updated along with master bath. The water is pretty clear but shallow off the beach and somewhat rocky. For us it was not ideal for swimming but all the other water activities were great. Our biggest issue was the low level lighting in the living areas on the main level, especially the kitchen. As with many places, some lightbulbs were burnt out. Owner was responsive to texts, minor issues/questions resolved/answered except for lightbulbs as no one was available to change them. Very comfortable home!

Great house, great lake, great area
With a week-long family vacation for 12 people of various ages, this house, yard, and lake gave us plenty of space. Between the canoes, kayaks, stand up boards, ping pong, yard games, hot tub, board games, and fire pit, there was always something to do and enjoy.

Excellent family destination
This property had so much to offer! We brought our children and grandchildren and everyone had a great time! We took advantage of everything this home had to offer: paddle boards, kayaks, canoes, yard games, ping pong, fire pit, hot tub. The outside screened in deck was our favorite room of the house for family meals and relaxing with a good book. Plenty of windows and fans to stay cool, especially at night. The house was absolutely gorgeous and very nicely equipped with everything we needed. We highly recommend this quiet and fun location for family gatherings, away from the distraction of TV and hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Unique location and house
We had a wonderful stay at the house. This house is unique in many ways from the location on the edge of a beautiful lake to the artistic aspects of the house. The stay was comfortable and Andrew responded to all our communication. We enjoyed skiing the nearby resorts and spending time together at the house.

A great escape.
We live in Kennebunkport and own/operate a restaurant in the area. It's hard to get away. It was such a treat to find such a beautiful accommodating space just over an hour away. The house is gorgeous with great attention to style and detail. We felt like guests in a friend's home. We were able to get away with our dogs and grown kids, everyone had space. We enjoyed the proximity to hiking and Conway, and enjoyed using the canoe/kayaks, ping pong table, and the record player. We would definitely book again, hopefully when it's a little warmer.
