We had a great time! Super clean and more than enough space for multiple families to spread out. Very short walk to the beach, my 4 year old son walked every day without a complaint. Would definitely rent again.

The house was nice but a half hour away from my brother and sister next time I will find a house in Meredith !

Large house. Lots of space.

It was a wonderful week. The house is very spacious, elegant, and well furnished, with lovely gardens and deck, a very short walk from the private community beach. The kitchen is exceptionally well provisioned. Bonnie was extremely prompt and gracious in responding to inquiries. We've rented a bunch of houses over the years and I think this was the most comfortable and enjoyable!

We have three grown and their partners. Plenty of room to spread out and enjoy our time. So many choices just on/near property. Comfortable. We also enjoyed excellent motorcycle rides while staying.

We really enjoyed the location of the property in Moultonborough and the private beach and playground area was terrific for my grandchildren. Only a very short walk to the beach meant that we didn't have to purchase a parking pass. Although the house is grand and spacious, I cannot support the word "luxury" when describing this property. The first thing we saw was the badly stained and tattered living room slip-covered couches. When I entered the kitchen, I found a tea kettle coated with grease and grim sitting right out on the top of the stove. The carpets were significantly stained and one had a hole in it. The gas grill outside was so rusted that my son refused to use it. Every morning before sitting at the outside table, we had to brush off the roof gravel and shingle debris that fell from the roof overnight. The chaise loungers on the deck were both broken. My thought would be that some folks will be happy to have a large house in a great location, but consider that your expectations for luxury might not be reached.

Wonderful property, perfect for our family.

We had such a great time in this beautiful house. They were available and quickly responded to any questions we had. Would love to stay there again.

Nice place to stay with my extended family. Plenty of room for everyone. We just had to step outside to watch the fireworks on the lake

We had a great experience staying here.The place was clean,very well equipped.The owner,Bonnie was super nice.We rented a pontoon boat and kayaks local.We brought two Harleys,great riding.Harley dealer close by.There was nothing we were unhappy with.We will be reserving a return visit next year.We have found a home away from home.

The minute we entered our rental home for the week we knew it was exactly as the website stated and more. We rent every year with my brother's family at the ocean, so the lake house was a new experience. Everything from the view from all of the rooms, to the fully stocked kitchen, was more than we expected. The owners were polite and respectful to work with. We had teenagers with us so having two livings rooms made it easy for them to relax and the grow-ups to sit in chat in another area. The second living room also provided us space to move the teenagers in with us for family game nights. The lake was beautiful and so close if you wanted to walk back to the house to relax you could. Thank you Colby's for adding to our tradition of family vacation and making it a wonderful memory.

Our family consists of my husband and myself, three grown children and their spouses, and one 21 month grandson. When we arrived, Bonnie Colby came to the house to greet us with the keys, and she was so incredibly, warm and friendly. We stayed from August 8th, 2015 to August 15th, 2015. The house is so absolutely gorgeous with its many views of the lake and it is so well maintained. Everything you needed was available including fresh clean linens, great cookware, a myriad of spices, staples,and paper products....we did not want for anything! Hannaford's Supermarket was really close, and it is an exceptional store that has everything you could possibly need. The four bedrooms where large and nicely decorated. The best part of the rooms was that all four rooms had queen sized beds, which is hard to find with a large family in a rental home. The beach's sand and water were so very clean, and the water was the perfect temperature. The beach is just a five minute walk and my children easily carried their kayak and water boards down to the dock that was to the right of the beach. However, if you have someone who cannot walk, (Like my husband who had a broken leg this summer), Bonnie provided us with a beach pass so that we could park right at the beach. For my grandson there was a large playground and sand box right at the beach, which he really loved. Inside the garage there were even some beach chairs and floats...although we brought our own. There were so many activities to do in the town and the surrounding towns. Bonnie has a nice basket on her dinning room table with lots of brochures with things to do in the area. It was a real plus!! We attended a wonderful craft fair on Friday, of that week that was about 20 minutes away. We brought home lots interesting gifts for friends and family. There were so many things to do that we never even got a chance to do a fraction of them. as we enjoyed the beach so much! We hope to come back again next year!! We highly recommend the Colby home...we are sure you will not find anything more wonderful. And one more major thing...the house was child- friendly which was so important to us. Thank you for a fantastic, relaxing vacation!! Sarah and Jeff Berg

We love the Winnepesaukee area and wanted to take our family..kids and grandkids away for the weekend. It turned out to be a treat for everyone. The house is great, plenty of room for everyone and so kid friendly. The location is beautiful with a short walk to the very nice beach area complete with playground, We loved it and would love to come back again!

We stayed at this wonderful home for 3 summers with our 3 children and now will be going back, after having our 4th. The house is beautiful and kid-friendly. It is walking-distance from the beach, even with young ones in tow, and is in easy striking range of many activity destinations. With a young family, vacations sometimes be more tiring than fun. However, with this house and this location, both adults and kids came home relaxed!

Cette maison est magnifique, le lieu enchanteur. Nous avons passé, ma famille et moi même 15 jours merveilleux, grâce à l'invitation de ma belle mère. Seul hic, les ados risquent de s'ennuyer car un peu loin de tout... Merci

Spacious, sunny, well-maintained, comfortable, and easy to live in with young children, the Colby's beautiful house has hosted our family's one-week summer gathering for three years. The Colby's have thoughtfully provided everything we need for babies and toddlers. We love walking down to the beach, playing in the yard, barbecuing on the deck, cooking together in the spacious, well-equipped kitchen, and just hanging out together on the screened-in porch. As for attractions, we take the Mt. Washington boat ride every year, and the grandkids especially love FunSpot, the funky arcade nearby. The Colby's house is the perfect home base, because it feels like home! Each year, as we're packing up to leave, the grandkids ask when we're coming back to "our house" in New Hampshire!

Our first experience going to New Hampshire for three weeks in the summer was renting the Colby's house sight unseen from their website. We have now returned there for three consecutive years. Their home is lovely, well equipped, and peacefully situated in a wooded area across from the lake. In particular, each bedroom and bathroom is more than adequate, and there is plenty of room throughout the house to accomodate a large family. It is also nice having two master suites. We truly felt "at home" staying there. It is a great place for children- offering a swing set on their property and a short walk to the beach and playground. We were also pleasantly surprised to find that Suissevale, the community in which their home is located, is convenient to restaurants and shopping. You certainly would not be disappointed in renting this property!

My family stayed at this spacious, custom built home in July 2008. The home was beautifully cared for and had every amenity and more that you would need on a family vacation. Bonnie & her family left the house immaculate along with information on places to eat and things to do in the area. We had plenty of space for our children, the grandparents, as well as my brother, his wife and son. The beach was a short walk and the view of the water was amazing!
