Welcome to Strolling Woods on the enchanting Lake Shore Drive on Webster Lake! Step into a world of comfort and luxury with our delightful 7,200 sq. ft., Adirondack-style deck house nestled on the shores of Lake Webster in Franklin. Boasting a warm ambience, this unique property invites you to immerse yourself in its charms.

Embark on scenic walks through 750 private acres of wildlife-filled trails or enjoy a bike ride into town. Fitness enthusiasts can use the full gym, which includes a new Life Fitness cable crossover machine, bench press, dumbbells, incline/decline treadmill, rower, and elliptical machine. Entertain guests in the oversized granite kitchen, additional sunroom, or game room equipped with a pool table, Ping-Pong, foosball, and classic Pac-Man and Galaga machines.

Kids will love the chickens on the property—you can help yourself to fresh eggs from inside the chicken hutch. If apples are in season, there are unlimited pick-your-own apples in the field!

Unwind in the state-of-the-art 24-seat movie theater with stadium seating. A short stroll across a residential road will lead you to 150 feet of sandy beach featuring a screened gazebo and a private boat house with a dock and boat garage.

Inside, enjoy the wet bar, central air-conditioning, three gas fireplaces, and sunroom while taking in breathtaking water views. Feel free to explore the surroundings with bicycles, kayaks, and fishing gear, which are freely available. Take advantage of the convenient boat ramp on the lake, tie up your ski or fishing boat to the private dock, or revel in the backyard's private pond with a brook and a nostalgic 9-hole golf course.

Though the golf course is no longer regularly maintained, it is mowed sporadically, and its tees and greens remain recognizable for those seeking a hearty golfing adventure. Delight in the abundant fishing opportunities on the most heavily stocked lake in all of NH, or savor the tranquility of Webster Lake, free from the heavy boat traffic of larger lakes in the area.

3 out of the 4 lower-level bedroom are designed with their own bathrooms, offering ample privacy. Two main suites and two loft-style bedrooms provide additional comfort and space. Pamper yourself in the oversized soaking tub with lake views in the lower-level main bedroom, or enjoy the dual sinks and two-headed shower in the upstairs main bedroom.

Our dog-friendly haven offers luxurious comforts and a touch of history, with remnants of old barns, blacksmith shops, and carriage roads.

This unique home is not just a getaway but a venue for large family vacations, special events, retreats, and more! Come experience the magic of Lake Shore Drive on Webster Lake – where comfort, history, and luxury converge.

Overall the week went well. There were definitely pros and cons of this house. Here are the pros: Nice starter sort of paper towels, laundry detergent and dish soap Prosecco and maple syrup gift basket Soap/shampoo in each bath Nice kitchen Luv the movie theater Nice new dock @ beach Very nice float with chairs Kayaks and paddle boat were great. (Paddle boat could use a good scrub) Beautiful lake Beautiful view from house Very nice deck. The biggest area of improvement with this house is it really just needs a deep cleaning. There were cobwebs in the kitchen and workout room and you could see all the dust on the workout mat when the sun was shining in. The ping pong table had drink rings all over it - doesn’t like like it ever gets cleaned. The cleaning crew also left out a bunch of vacuums and brooms in the kitchen - I’m sure they have a home other than the kitchen corner. (The brooms were old and worn and need replacing.) The gazebo could also use a deep clean. We rent each year and this house was very expensive compared to what we’ve paid in past years. I would expect it to be sparkling clean. It looks like the cleaning crew gave it a quick once over. In fairness the management company they did volunteer to have the cleaners come back. We declined this option.

This property is a bit of paradise on Lake Webster. We have a large family with many small grandchildren. It is perfect for younger families that just want to relax and enjoy their time together. There is plenty of room so all are comfortable and happy too!

Loved it. Great house for our family gathering, 3 generations, all adults. We made daily use of the lake, game room, theater room as well as the large kitchen and rest of the house. Laundry also convenient. Loved it and will be returning next year! Next time hope it's a bit cooler in the evenings so we can use the firepit at the top of the hill! Couple improvements would help significantly improve the experience include: 1) Please install remote blinds on the HUGE windows to keep the temp down in the living area - sun blasts in from early morning to around noon and makes it too hot to use the fantastic view (and windows are too high for all manual blinds) 2) put small trash cans in the bathrooms (we used most of them and lack of garbage cans for floss etc. was inconvenient). Overall great place and we're looking forward to returning next year.

The house is perfect for family reunions. A large living room/kitchen dining area where everyone can be together, but also quiet places for the introverts to escape to. TV theater was great on rainy days, and the lake was beautiful. We rented a boat, so having the boat house was so convenient. Fishing off the dock we caught bass and sunfish, about one every minute! Vacasa was very quick in addressing the few concerns we had on arrival. Property is great for a casual walk through the woods and fields. Franklin and area towns had shopping, ice cream shops, Hannefords and Super Walmart. I highly recommend this gem in the middle of New Hampshires Lake District.

My family and I stayed the weekend in this amazing home for a wedding. Home is on 700 acres and has a beach right across the road! Home was very clean and had plenty of towels for everyone. The game room gave us options as you can play pool, foosball, ping pong and space invaders! We were using all of the games! The theatre room was great and it felt like you were at an actual theatre with the surround sound. We streamed hockey and basketball playoff games along a boxing match and had no issues with the WiFi at all! We had around the max occupancy and the home felt like you could fit another 10 people. The hot water worked great with multiple people taking showers. Would definitely recommend this home to any large group! Will be renting this home again in the future!

Overall, our stay at the house was pleasant. The location was great, and the cleanliness was satisfactory. We enjoyed the game room and home theater. Enough bedrooms for big group which is tough to find. However, we found the kitchen utensils to be outdated/lacking and the living room furniture could use an upgrade for added comfort. Hot water takes a while as house is big. Despite these minor issues, we enjoyed our time there and would consider staying again if improvements are made.
