Maggie's Lakeside Cottage

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!

Laid Back
The cottage is lovely on the inside, not very well kept on the outside. The picnic table was too dirty to eat on and we had to broom down the front of the cottage and the deck, scour the table and clean the bbq before we could use them. The lake water is lovely to swim around n but there is no ladder access and n or out. The shared dick situatiin means that your time down at the water is in no way private. When there were guests in the cottage next door the waterfront was far from peaceful.

Fantastic lakeside vacation.
This is a great lake house with modern facilities. The house is clean and well stocked. The beds are comfortable and I loved not having to lug linens back and forth. The lake and views are stunning. It’s quiet and relaxing there. The lake itself is clean and clear. We brought our kayaks and paddle boards and left them at the dock for our stay while not in use. I loved listening to the loons also. If you have small children, I recommend bringing flotation type devices as there isn’t a gradual walk into the water. We hardly left the property except to dine out occasionally because we didn’t want to leave this beautiful spot.

Profit over people
I rented this as a getaway for my wife who has been under tremendous stress. We were hit by a guy who ran a red light & fled the scene as we got off ferry. My wife melted down & wanted to go home. Reached out next morning, related events & asked if they would consider a partial refund-3 second got a response that we should have paid more for insurance. So they got almost full payment for nothing. I think the lack of even considering the request is most abhorrent. I understand “policy” & profits, but it would have been a human gesture to refund anything. Will totally avoid in the future & suggest others be careful.

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.

Just okay
House is placed perfectly with beautiful views. Unfortunately if the weather isn’t cooperative there is nothing to do locally. We drove 35 minutes to Lake Winnepesaukee one day which was cool. The next day we drove an hour to North Conway for the day. We quickly realized we should have just stayed at either lake Winne or north Conway. We could still stay on a lake and if weather was bad we would have plenty of other things to do all around us. The house wasn’t super clean. The sofas are old, pleather is wearing off, and they’re incredibly uncomfortable as there was not much cushion left. Heavy dust and cobwebs throughout. Dirt and stain on broken blinds. Cabin give a dark and dank vibe verses bright an airy (so much wood on every surface). Upstairs carpets are extremely dirty. Beds covered in stained linens that don’t fit and seem like someone’s hand me downs. Heavy heavy dust on fan cages over the beds. Towels were extremely small and felt like sandpaper. Listing stated a blow dryer would be available, there was no blow dryer. Fishbowl effect at night as there was not blinds on all the windows. Outdoor furniture is old and not cleaned. Only a little stairway into the water if you don’t want to jump off the dock. Family’s with little ones don’t have a beach area or shallow water to let your babe play in. The house could be amazing, however I feel the hosts rely solely on views and waterfront location for ratings. It was an underwhelming experience.

A little slice of heaven
This cabin is lovely for one or for a romantic escape. I arrived in pre-Memorial Day May when the pond was quiet and I saw very few folks nearby. The cabin is nicely modernized, with a great kitchen setup for cooking, a new bathroom and plenty of heat and air conditioning. The view of the pond is perfect from inside and from the lovely deck. The washer/dryer are clean and new (just duck down to the lower level - easy). Great "couchage" (the linear feet of comfortable couch space -- a key criteria my family uses when selecting a place to rend). A canoe would have made my visit perfect - I'll do that next time! The Internet service was sufficient for streaming and my other needs. The steps to the sleeping areas is very steep, so not good for anyone unsteady on their feet. Cell signal is not great. The Vacasa staff was very helpful when I needed them -- fast and responsive. The other cabin mentioned in another review is up the bank, but far enough away for privacy. Renting both cabins would be great for a family reunion. It is easy to get to Wolfeboro and Ossipee. Not far off the main drag through Wakefield. Things to wish for: ** a hook or two on the back if the bathroom door for hanging dressing gown etc. ** fix of the shower valve (thing you turn to adjust shower temperature) so the shower temperature is more reliable -- Vacasa came out and adjusted the shower but the valve really needs replacement -- someone from Vacasa should attempt to take a shower :)

Nice place, not clean
The house was in a great location. Other houses are all around it, so it is not as secluded as advertised. Perfect for our group (5 adults, 1 child, 1 dog). Had issue with it not being cleaned before we came, so that was a huge disappointment, but overall a good choice.

Beautiful spot, needs some honing in
Cabin is very nice, perched charmingly right on top of the shore. Hosting experience seems designed more around longer term vacations than short weekend trips, but easily changeable if hosts desire. Directions/guide/instructions on Vacasa need some serious work. For future reference, the dirt road leads to two houses- the one directly at end is not the correct house. The rental property is the smaller driveway that is cut to the right.

Relaxing stay with spectacular views!!
What a wonderful week! Perfect size for our family and perfect location for what we wanted—lakefront relaxation, water fun on a clean, clear lake and close by to hiking, restaurants and North Conway adventure! We would have never known about the beauty of Pine River Pond had we not stayed here. Will be watching for available property in this area!! Loved it. Thank you.

Well appointed, perfect vacation spot!
This home on Pine River Pond was absolutely phenomenal! We had access to a boat dock for our bass boat and kayaks which was perfect. The home is incredibly clean and well appointed with good sized bedrooms, a wonderful living area, gas grill and a lovely deck. While we brought water toys, chairs, linens, games, etc. we did not need to, this home has everything! Excellent heating/cooling system and wifi - a perfect vacation place!

Beautiful week at the lake!
Cabin was great. Very clean and generally well appointed. It was helpful to have A/C, despite our week being relatively temperate. It would be nice to have some kayaks or a stand up paddleboard for guests, but no real complaints. Dock and front deck are mostly shaded throughout the day - so not a lot of opportunity to sunbathe. The location behind some islands helps provide a safe place for the kids to swim or sit in tubes, which was really great. And our oldest caught several fish from the dock throughout the week. Our host was also responsive to our questions. Thanks all.

Anniversary Stay
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.

Beautiful and Quiet Lake Life
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.

Beautiful view of the pond and dock for easy access!
My friends and I had a fishing trip and we LOVED this property. Immediately walking out to the back deck, it was known it would be a great weekend. The view is beautiful and it was a fun pond to explore and fish. Easy access with a dock to fish/boat. Rented a boat locally to cruise around. House is minimal (beds/couches) but we didn't spend much time inside...mainly on the deck and on the water. Would 10/10 recommend.

Pleasant retreat
We had a wonderful stay in this Wakefield cabin. It was very private with a beautiful lakeside view. We drove a lot of the backroads to view the fall foliage. Spent time in Portsmouth and North Conway. Lots of great shops and restaurants there. The weather was wet for the first 2 days so we never hiked. The cabin was well furnished with the essentials. Heard the loons and owls. We read that the fishing was great and a kayak in nicer weather would be sweet!
