Here’s a rare opportunity to rent a conveniently-located, well-maintained, private lakefront property. This charismatic 3BR Cape has over 200 feet of waterfront and is a short drive to mountains and ski resorts. It’s perfect for those who enjoy hiking, fishing, winter and water sports. Stunning picturesque four-season scenery. An open floor plan fluidly connects cooking, dining for 6, and a comfortable living room. Kitchen has granite counters and island. Relax and unwind in the Florida room surrounded with floor to ceiling windows with lake views which also features another dining area and an unexpected Tiki bar. Wake up to unobstructed lake views from the spacious master bedroom and 2nd bedroom with full sized bunk beds. There is a finished basement with a ping pong table and side by side washer dryer. Outside there are tiered garden beds, mature perennials, quaint fencing, and a variety of private areas to help savor the entire property. There is a new 1,100' stone patio flanked with plenty of seating and a solo stove for a firepit. Both the side and back yards are perfect for yard games, picnics, and peering out over “Granny Patch” rock to the lake's natural vista. A few Trex steps away is a brand new wood dock perfect for swimming, jumping, kayaking, sailing and canoeing. (Webster Lake is one mile wide and 1.7 miles long). The kitchen has new stainless steel appliances and the upstairs full bath has just been completely renovated!
Here's the sleeping situation:
Master on the second floor- 1 Queen Bed
Guest bedroom on the second floor- Queen Sized Bed
Guest Bedroom on the second floor-Bunk Bed with 2 Full Sized Beds
We also have 2 extremely comfortable queen sized electric self blow up mattresses. Sleepovers in the Florida room are delightful, or the master bedroom is large enough to comfortably have one extra Queen mattress in the room.
There is a comfortable fold up twin sized cot in the guest bedroom that can be opened and fits perfectly in a section of the room not pictured.
Are children welcome?
We've had several families stay with us, and they've found the house perfect for children. There's ample entertaining space on the main floor, plenty of room upstairs for privacy, and access to Webster Lake is the ideal place for fun.
Can we cook at the home?
Yes! You'll love the flexibility of being able to go out or stay in to cook. The kitchen has pots, pans, plates, glassware, utensils. If you're unsure about what we might have, ask us. We provide a coffeemaker, toaster and microwave.
On the upper patio we have both a gas grill and a smoker / pellet grill to cook. You'll have no problem feeding the hungry vacationers.
Should I bring linens or towels?
Nobody wants to travel with their sheets and pillowcases. Our linens will rival any hotel, and our cleaning crew will take care of everything when you leave. We provide linens for all beds, and we wash every piece of bedding before your visit. We'll also make sure there are plenty of towels for everyone.
What kind of experience can my pet expect?
We love dogs, and we understand how hard it can be to travel when you have to leave your furry friends at home. Bring them along to enjoy the fun! Take them for a nice walk around the lake.

We arrive and they were still cleaning. No problem we waited outside and explored the property. The first thing we saw was a garage that was very dirty and not organized. We went to the left of the house where there was a grill and other things that looked like they needed to go to the dump. We walked around to the back to check it out. The view was beautiful. That was the only good thing on that property. All the outside furniture was so dirty. I would not sit in it. Other people used towels. There was wooden poles around the property to hold on to for safety purposes. Some of them were rotted and a safety hazard.
There is a great space off the house which I would call a sun room. The windows were very dirty and loaded with bugs. The slider going outside was so dirty it was very difficult to open. The furniture in this room was not dusted or wiped down. The sofa was all ripped and they covered it with a blanket. The tables in there must to 30 plus years old. They look it. Took a chair from the dining table very wobbly. Thought I would land on the floor. The living room furniture was all cracked. The chair had a rip in the corner. The end tables not clean. My husband said the freezer in the garage was disgusting. I had the smaller bedroom with the air conditioner in properly set out the window. I had to crawl over the bed to turn the light on. The bureau in that room was all stained. The wood was peeling. It was not very secure.

Brian was a wonderful host! His communication was quick and he provided answers to any questions I had.
The house was fantastic and the yard was fenced in which was excellent for the dog! He loved being able to get in and out of the water from the rock as well! We loved the different levels of the yard. We enjoyed using the kayaks and paddleboards! There was also a canoe but we didn't have the need for that. The lake was calm and we were able to paddle around the bend to spot the large eagles nest and to see one of the eagles! The outdoor firepit was a hit one of the nights we were there. Unfortunately, we did have some rain but there was nothing better than the sunrise over the lake in the early morning, sitting out on the big rock with a cup of coffee! This was the relaxation that we desperately needed! We did visit a local brewery but for the most part we cooked at the house (except for one pizza take out night).
Thank you for a wonderful family stay and your kind hospitality!

I was looking for something special to do to celebrate my 30th birthday with family and friends, that’s when I stumbled upon this lake house. The location, views, outdoor space, and the house itself exceeded all of our expectations.
The town of Franklin, NH is quaint, but has everything you need within a few miles (grocery, gas, coffee, breweries, food, etc.).
We chose this spot specifically because we love to fish, and let me tell you, plenty of fish were caught! We caught perch, trout, and bass.
We had an absolute blast kayaking, fishing from the dock/rocks, enjoying margaritas at the tiki bar, playing games in the Florida room, playing ping-pong downstairs, and sitting by the solo stove at night.
The host was extremely responsive, helpful, and accommodating. He added to our experience by making sure our questions were always answered.
Highly recommend staying here and I will be back!

My family enjoyed our stay here over the Easter weekend. Although it was cold outside, the views of the lake were stunning and the warmth of the inside fireplace made the home very warm and cozy. The beds were also very comfortable. The North Rail Trail is very close to the home and great for a scenic, easy walk. There are also some nice microbreweries close by to sample different beers and sit down for some lunch or dinner. Although we could only get in some fishing, it would be nice to come back during the summer months when we could enjoy more lake activities just steps outside the home. Brian was also very communicative and accommodating which we appreciated.

Stay here for a few nights during our daughter’s family weekend at Proctor. It is 12 min from campus and worked well for what we needed. Stunning view to wake up to!

Wow. This place is incredible! I booked this spot for a relaxing few days with my mom, aunt, and cousin and this place was perfect. The house is lovely, it was clean and tidy and had all the amenities we needed - and the some. The lakefront was amazing and the property was the perfect vacation spot for us. The house was easy to get to, and the hosts were great communicators. I wish we could’ve spent more time here! Thanks for the great stay!

Booked this property for a family vacation for my folks who haven't spent time at a lake house. This place may have set the bar too high for future lake house getaways - large, beautiful backyard with immediate lake access; kayaks and stand up paddle boards for use; great fishing; lots of games for cloudy/cooler days; kitchen with everything you may need for cooking; spacious porch room where we did yoga and had meals. We had our pup with us and having an enclosed yard was so helpful. Also Brian was very accommodating with shifting some dates and responding quickly. We had a wonderful and relaxing stay and hope to rent the place out again!

We had a fantastic stay at this lovely home. The outdoor shower is a must try, and there are games, kayaks, paddle boards, canoe, and just about any kind of game or relaxing space one could image. Something for everyone, and just the perfect spot with a view that can't be beat. The tiki bar is a fun spot, and the views from the sunroom are wonderful regardless the weather. The neighbors were also so friendly and helpful. We look forward to booking this property again, and staying longer!!!

Brian was a great host and made everything easy. We had record breaking cold weather and were able to postpone our trip one day and he was so accommodating and even offered for us to stay an extra night. We had a nice time at the house. The views of the lake were incredible. Everything was very clean and all linens and towels provided and ready was super helpful. There were many games for the kids to play with. Very. nice bathrooms, kitchen, and appliances. Beds were comfortable as well. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your lovely home.

My family and I decided to go away for a few days for Thanksgiving and this property was just what we were looking for. The lake and patio is absolutely beautiful even in November and one of my favorite memories from the weekend was having a mimosa by the fire pit in the morning just taking in the view. The tiki bar was so much fun and my boys loved having their own little area to watch TV and hang out. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed and though we prepared most of the food prior to
Coming we cooked a full thanksgiving meal with ease and the openness of the space allowed me to still talk and hang out with my family while cooking. The ping pong table was a big hit and provided hours of entertainment. There are a great variety of games to play and the TVs were equipped with all the channels we needed to watch football and Christmas movies. We had a great time and would highly recommend!

Best spot on the lake, clean comfortable lakehouse. Jump right in the lake and swim, or enjoy an afternoon on the new patio or dusk in the gazebo. Several gorgeous views, wake up to the lake. Proprietor polite and easy to talk with. Great spot to relax. Our lil dog was in heaven. Thank you, Brian and Judy.

Our stay at this beautiful home was all that we hoped it would be! We fished from the canoe that was on the property and also from the dock. We caught a large variety such as small mouth bass, white perch, and jumbo blue gills. We were so successful that we actually lost count. In the four days that we were there we caught at least 50 fish! The house itself was exactly as pictured and made our stay there very comfortable with all the comforts of home. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us!

We were visiting Franklin NH to help one of kids move to a new home.This is one of the few dog friendly rentals in the area. It's a lovely house on Webster Lake, and while this was a working trip, we enjoyed the great view over the lake from the patio, and our Labrador' Retreiver loved jumping off the dock for a swim. House is nicely equiped, and even the kitchen knives are sharp, which never happens in a rental. This is our second stay here, and we hope to come back again. And we love hearing the loons on the lske at night!

I came here with a few friends to enjoy a weekend getaway. The house was beautiful and had everything we needed! The views of the lake from the sunroom were amazing, and even with us having a snowstorm on the day of check in, Brian was very communicative and did everything he could to make our check in as easy as possible. Would recommend to anyone who wants to get away and enjoy the lake and town of Franklin!

We rented out the lakehouse for thanksgiving and absolutely loved the place. The place is very spacious with gorgeous views of the lake. The place had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable and had enough things to keep us entertained throughout the trip (Ping pong table, kayaks, smart TV, speakers etc). The host responded promptly with any questions that we had. Would absolutely come back in the summer for a longer trip!

Perfect fall weekend getaway rental. I can't say enough good about this rental. The house is immaculate, well stocked and has plenty of space. The patio, fire pit and dock areas are beautiful and perfect for relaxing. We loved kayaking and fishing around the lake. The hosts are the nicest people I've ever dealt with for a vacation rental. They were very easy to reach, responsive and made the process extremely smooth and pleasant.
We will definitely be back, and I would highly recommend this vacation rental to anyone.
