Great place to telax

This was my first time using Vrbo and I was a bit Nervous, however, it was a wonderful experience. The owners were nice and easy to talk to and no demands. They supplied the wood for the fire inside as well. I highly recommend this place for peace and relaxation.

Grandpa's cabin!

We loved our stay at this 70 year old cabin on the lake. The only problem was that our stay was too short! Warm memories of my Grandpa's cabin a long time ago. Very clean & comfortable. The owners are very friendly and helpful. It was a great place to celebrate our anniversary. We hope to return!

This cute little cabin is nestled right up against Lake Winnipesaukee. Beautiful waterfront views from cabin interior and screened in back porch. This cabin is located 5 minutes from Wolfeboro Main Street and there is plenty of other activities nearby. Would love to stay here again!

Beautiful spot!

This was a lovely quaint little property with an absolutely surreal view of the lake. The fireplace was wonderful and we were very comfortable. The only reason I wouldn’t give a five star review is that there wasn’t a bar of soap which would have been handy and it is an additional fee for bedding and towels. My feeling is that when you’re paying over $500 a night those should be should be included. That would be the only reason I would not stay there again. Other than that, lovely spot!

Wonderful cottage and location!

This cottage was precisely what we wanted with an old-fashioned screened in porch overlooking Winter Harbor with a sandy bottomed swimming area, a dock, wooden screened doors, outdoor seating and all of it nestled in the woods. Perfect for our needs. Pam and John couldn’t have been more helpful. Many thanks for an outstanding visit. We hope to come back sometime in the future.

Cozy on the water

Our hosts could not have been better. They were welcoming, helpful and responsive to all our requests. We enjoyed all their restaurant and activity suggestions. The cottage was clean and ready on arrival. It is about 50 feet from the lake shore with its own private dock. The view is to the west across a wide expanse of water. We heard loons calling as we sat to enjoy the sunsets. Wolfeboro center is minutes away by car. There is an outside grill, screened porch and feeling of privacy. The wood pile was stocked. We highly recommend this place for a small family and would stay here again.

West Breeze

A traditional lakeside cottage, with knotty pine panelling, fireplace, and beautiful views, pristine clear lake water, and proximity to wonderful Wolfeboro. I was looking for a Winnipesaukee experience like those I remember from my youth in the 1950s, and this is what I got, along with 21st c amenities like WiFi, cable TV, and modern appliances. Owners Pam and John were generous and attentive hosts.

So wonderful

This cottage is adorable and in an amazing location. I’ve gone to lake winni every year for 38 years and this is a really desirable spot - wolfeboro / winter harbor. The house is adorable and spotless. It’s small (as expected) but very well equipped. My husband and two small children and I had a wonderful stay. It rained all day one day and we made a fire and the kids watched Bluey on the tv. On the nice days the kids swam, used the kayaks with us, and went fishing. Becuase of the drought the lake was really low so they couldn’t jump off the dock but I’m sure in normal times they could. It was still deep enough for a boat to pick us up. Pam and John are really friendly and gracious. You really can’t go wrong with this property.

Best Weekend Vacation of My Life!!

This property completely blew away our expectations. When we initially found our way driving towards the cabin, it was sitting picturesque on the water. The view of the lake, mountains and clean air was nothing short of breathtaking! Pam and John were the sweetest, and most caring property owners. They went above and beyond to make sure the property was clean during the COVID19 restrictions and wrote out every precaution they took. We felt completely safe and at ease knowing they took such meticulous steps. We enjoyed the wood-burning fireplace during cold, crisp nights... the back deck was used to eat dinner and watch the sunset, and the kayaks provided a memorable time on the water! We are still daydreaming about our weekend on the water and enjoying the beautiful downtown of Wolfeboro. We will absolutely be back!!

Updated wooden cottage in quiet location on best lake in NH

Pam and John are wonderful hosts. She keep us updated on local/state covid regulations and gave information about grocery stores, shops, and the Dive shop for fishing licenses. Provides most of what you need for your stay. The cottage was immaculate and had most things we needed for the kitchen, dishes, few pots/pan, bowl, casserole dish, pot holders, bottle openers, couple large knives, measuring cups, can opener, trivets, soap, dish liquid, paper towels, trash bag, etc. Wish we had sheet pan, serving plates and another larger pan & pot to better cook for 5 people. The bedroom overlooking the lake had two twins and we wished the queen was there - wasted view on the on the kids. All mattresses were too soft/thin for us. The closed couch and rocking chair gave us the best sleep. The queen room had the air conditioner, and the living room had one as well. Most of the time we had the windows open and had a great breeze. The one day we needed the air conditioner for couple hours, it was on low and was fine for the entire place. The screened porch was where we are most meals and played games. View of the moon on the lake was amazing. The new dock was nice to fish, hang out, sun bath. It had a new ladder to the lake. The lake had some sandy near the ladder, but mostly there are rocks around the dock. (John is slowly moving the rocks to the side to make more of a sandy bottom). The kids found it fun to help move some rocks. Bring rubber-sole water shoes and your fine. There is a sandy beach area in front of there house to launch the kayaks they let you use or bring your own (we took our paddleboards). You get to see these beautiful sunsets. Even the rain is beautiful on the lake. At night, we had the telescope on the dock. Outside area has a picnic table, two lounge chairs, two Adirondack chairs, clothes line (no washer/dryer), and a gas grill. The grill lit up effortlessly. Note, due to covid, they provided options on linens, towels, pillows for nominal fee; keep only the pillows. Checkout procedures are to wash and pack the kitchen items so plan your packing and last night & morning accordingly. We leave all places as we find them, so that wasn't a problem. Just that we weren't sure if the last renters were as cautious in cleaning, so we washed EVERYTHING when unpacking it. Thank you for a perfect ending to this crazy, stressful summer!

About the host

Hosted by Pam Hopkins

Host profile image
My husband and I are life-long residents of NH. In fact Pam inherited this beautiful property from her dad. We love the outdoors and hope you, too, will love our Winter Harbor property on Lake Winnipesaukee, 3 miles from downtown Wolfeboro!

Why they chose this property

With a true western exposure, you can enjoy the sun all day, as you swim in the crystal clear water, with sandy bottom. Paddle Winter Harbor in the two kayaks that are provided with the rental or sit back on the screened porch or around the fire pit and listen to the loons.

What makes this property unique

Quiet, secluded, surrounded by nature and located in a sheltered cove.
