The property was very clean and well maintained. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need. So quiet and peaceful, at times we felt like we were the only ones at the lake. A beautiful spot to get away from it all. The only drawback is that you have to eventually return home :)

Perfect place for families. Lots to do, or simply sit and relax!

I highly recommend this lake house! I stayed with my adult kids, and we had a fabulous time.
The indoor space is roomy, clean, and comfy, and we felt right at home. Tons of books, movies, games, puzzles. Everything you could think of in the kitchen! Lots of seating areas indoors and out so that we weren't on top of each other all the time.
The lake is gorgeous - we could barely see the neighbors' homes and the house is situated in a no-wake zone, so the boats going by were quiet. We spent hours at the the firepit (tons of wood provided), on the deck, dock, and screened in porch, and on the lake in the kayaks.
There were bullfrogs in the rushes, a bald eagle soared overhead several times, we heard loons calling every night, and were treated to a brief sighting one afternoon.
I was a little concerned that there's no a/c on the lower level, but it stayed very cool, even on the hottest days.
Sue was very accommodating (thank you for the early check-in and reminders about renting the kayaks!). She provided thorough information leading up to the trip and a binder full of info about the house, the lake, and the local wildlife.

This property was everything we were looking for for a family getaway.
The interior has a cute grandma's cottage vibe, and the kitchen is well-equipped with all the tools for cooking and grilling. However, the phenomenal outdoor space is what really shines here. The lake is easy for kids, easy to kayak on, and offers beautiful sunrises. Host is a lovely family that was very reachable for all our needs. Toy room and water toys were a hit for our niece.
For future travelers, the kitchen has basic spices and oils, but you need to bring your own coffee (drip or kcup). Bring your own toiletries, towels, and sheets. Enjoy! We had a lovely time and hope to go back!

The property is beautiful and perfect for a weekend away. We loved sitting by the fire and chatting. The only small detail was that there were no towels. I anticipated there wouldn’t be bath towels as we opted to bring our own linens, but didn’t expect that to extend to hand and dish towels as well, just a small heads up for others to note.

Best friend and I had a wonderful relaxing weekend of snacking, wine drinking, chatting, and reading books by the fire inside and outside! House was prefect and exactly what we were looking for!

This is our third time staying here and we absolutely love the place and location. There was great fishing and kayaking for me. This time I was recuperating from two surgeries, and can think of no other place. I wanted to recuperate then in the sunroom, reading a book overlooking the water we will definitely be back. I can’t wait till I can get into the water and kayak again. She was very easy to get a hold of the police was very clean and had what we needed.

Very nice place to stay. Very comfortable and relaxing. The beach was a great place for early morning coffee. Our kids loved all the toys and swimming in the lake. We look forward to staying again.

There were no children with me. however this is a kids paradise with the game room full of toys. And gentle sloping beach into lake. Definitely would recommend

We had a lovely time at Sue’s house. The sandy beach and beach toys were perfect for water play with little kids! And somehow the outdoor shower was about as entertaining as the lake. We really appreciated the pack & play and high chair for our little one. We talked a big game about watching a movie on VHS and never did, but enjoyed the nostalgia of looking through videos on shelves. Had a great time with the kayaks, also. Bonus: lots of loon sounds and sightings!

We’ve stayed here 3x now and have enjoyed each stay. Sue is a wonderful host, accommodating and seamless communication. The house has been perfect for our family with small kids. The Sandy beach access is great swimming and play for whole family. We had great success fishing as well. The house has everything you need and is clean and spacious.

Well stocked cottage on Locke Lake. Sandy beach was perfect for young children. Plus assess to other Locke Lake amenities available. Plenty of toys on 'toy porch'. Host was available if needed. Host pleasure to deal with and offered that we could check in few hours earlier if desired. Bring gate for stairway to basement area if you're staying with young children. Plenty of games, puzzles, and movies for entertainment.

This home was just what we needed. Not a thing you need to bring other than your clothes and food. Would return when ever we are in the area. Thank you Sue for the hospitality.

We enjoyed our stay at this property. It was as the description stated. The house feels like visiting your grandma. It was cozy, a bit out dated but that's part of the charm. We enjoyed the sun room and play room. The house was clean and the neighborhood was nice. The charm of the house is being right on the water and hearing the birds and watching the boats. If we stay again, I would forgo renting the linens. I thought the beds would be premade for us, but all the linens are just in a tote for you to make yourself. I would bring my own sheets to save the money.

This is the second time we've rented this property. We will definitely be back next year.

This is a great property on a wonderful little lake. It was just two of us staying for a long weekend, but there is plenty of room for a larger family. Check-in and check-out were super-easy, and the place had everything we needed.

We had a wonderful time at the lake house! It was very comfortable, had everything we needed, and was very clean. We loved the screened in porch overlooking the lake. It was a great place to enjoy our morning coffee and watch the loons and herons. We also enjoyed using the kayaks!
Sue was so helpful and was very quick to answer any questions we had about the property. She provided a notebook with plenty of information about the area such as attractions, shopping and restaurants.
We highly recommend this property!

Everything exceeded our expectations and we couldn’t have had a more pleasurable experience. The property was everything we had hoped for and more. We can’t wait to go back!
The property was super clean and well equipped, we barely had to pack anything besides our clothes. And the 6 hole golf course was an added bonus.
Sue was a super host and communicated the entire time, right up until our stay. Have no reservations about booking this property, it was so great that we can’t wait to return!

We had a very nice time. The house suited our needs perfectly for a family of four. The lake was great and the location was very good.

We had 4 adults and 1 almost 3 year old stay for a week. We had a wonderful time! The host was very responsive from the moment we booked through our stay. The house is exactly as pictured. Generally the house could use an update in decor but it is well stocked and almost everything you need. Bring toilet paper and paper towels. The beach is the shining star! Perfect for little ones and the lake is great for kayaks. Highly recommend this spot!

We very much enjoyed our stay at your house on the lake! It was very spacious for my family and a great location. It was close enough to amenities and far away enough to feel disconnected. The house was very comfortable and made us feel like it was home away from home. To wake up in the morning with the view of the lake and all of the wildlife was amazing, then to have the firepit at night while relaxing was incredible. Thank you so much!!

This is our second year staying at this property. You will love the sandy beach,how immaculately clean the home is, the layout which is perfect for family time and the sunroom overlooking the water where we enjoyed morning coffee. Communication is quick and accommodating with the owner. A/C is cold even during a hot streak. I would recommend bringing extra essentials like tp and paper towels. This year we brought a sharp knife, a large non stick skillet and our own linens instead of the rental ones. These items are similar to many rental properties we have visited - heavily used and in need of replacing. You will love this property and come away so relaxed.

This is the perfect getaway for a quiet vacation. Our grandkids loved the playroom stocked with plenty of toys. The house was clean, well stocked and large enough to spend a few moments in quiet The lake was great to swim in. The only issue was a miscommunication about guests using the pool. Other than that, everything was perfect and we would love to return again in the future.

Perfect cottage for a family with small children
This home was perfect for us and my cousin’s family. We had two 2 year olds with us who loved that the house was well stocked with toys. The kitchen was equipped with everything you could need for a vacation house. The lake access was perfect for small children and boats.
We had a fantastic visit and hope to come next year!

A Beautiful All Weather/All Season Home
I own a home in NH, so a lake or a mountain view is pretty common around here. Take it from me when I say that staying in this property, on this lake, is very serene and beautiful. You will want for nothing. The description and photos are accurate but you really can't grasp the large and open size of the house and the outdoor space. There's enough for folks to spend time apart and together, if you choose. It is very clean and welcoming. I've been renting vacation homes for many years and this one is my favorite. The property is so attractive, easy to get to and you'll just want to stay here and hang. You will not regret booking here.
