Amazing property with fantastic hosts that really care about your experience when visiting their home. The house was clean, well equipped and comfortable. My family had a great time at this beautiful waterfront home!

Gracious host, so many amenities and thoughtful touches. You will be pleased!

We had a wonderful week at Waterscape and are already looking forward to our next trip!

This was the second year in a row that my family (6 adults and 4 kids ages 3-9) has rented at Waterscape and I can't say enough about this property. From the amazing fire pit, the outdoor shower, the beach and swimming area, the tented grill for all-weather cooking, the well-appointed kitchen and the gorgeous views of the lake - this property has it all. Island living can add a layer of logistics - but Waterscape is worth it!

Wonderful place for a family get together. The weather was less than perfect but we spent a lot of time around the game table playing cards. Beds were very comfortable.

Jon and Patti are fantastic hosts. Waterscape was perfect. The house is beautiful, well-equipped and private. We caught fish off the dock, roasted marshmallows by the fire, listened to great music, hiked around the island and kayaked on the lake. It was a wonderful, relaxing family vacation. Absolutely loved it!!

We had the perfect few days at Waterscape! Everything was easy from the initial communications with the owner Jon, to the booking, to the arrival on the island. The amount of attention to detail to everything about the stay instantly makes you feel like you are at home and can relax. The house has a perfect balance of modern amenities (WiFi, TVs, etc) while still giving you the ability to step away from the fast pace life and unplug for a few days if you choose. Our group spent the majority of the time outside on the deck, on the water, and around the fire pit each night. Thank you for having us and we are looking forward to hopefully going back next summer!

Our family of 5 (2 adults and 3 children - ages 16, 14 and 10) enjoyed an incredible week at Waterscape before heading back to school. It was a welcome escape. The pictures of the house don’t do it justice. It was “rustic luxury” at its finest. We enjoyed waterskiing and tubing in the cove right in front of the dock. We brought paddle boards and were able to navigate completely around the island multiple times. Other days we explored using the kayaks situated right on the sandy beach area. We walked the trails on the island and enjoyed nightly fire-pits under the stars watching for satellites and shooting stars. Baby fawn even wandered by the house several times. While the house has Xbox our kids only used it on a few occasions. They loved being outside on the island and spent hours fishing right off the dock. The house itself is well equipped and could certainly host more than a family of 5. It was clean and comfortable. Jon could not have been more available or transparent in his communication. He even checked in to make sure we had arrived safely. We had a wonderful time and would stay again in a heartbeat. It was a great experience.

We had a great stay at Waterscape with our three young children -- 11, 10, and 7 years old. All of us want to come back next summer. The cottage is well-maintained and relatively new. It has a calm and rustic vibe architecturally, but it is extremely well equipped -- a well appointed kitchen, decent enough internet connectivity for basic streaming, Sonos, game table, BBQ grill, family dining table, and in-built bunk beds for kids to name some. There was nothing that we missed. The beds are comfortable, and the living room and porch are warmly decorated. We loved the location on Mark Island. The house has a dock with deep water and Wake Watchers for your boat (important!), wooden walkways, a hammock, large firepit between boulders, and a sandy beach for kids. Sandy beaches are rare on Lake Winnespeauke and great for the kids. We used the firepit every night that it was safe and spent time as a family. They have tons of seating and warm lighting. Nights on the island are the best. We spent a lot of time boating and swimming. There is good fishing off the dock if you get a license. The house also has kayaks, and there are several trails on Mark Island for beautiful, shorter hikes. Jon and Patti seem like very nice people based on our interactions, and they are clearly experienced hosts. Jon sent us a very nice message before arrival along with a write-up of instructions and helpful tips. He was available by text throughout our stay. We would very much look forward to staying at this house again.

We had a wonderful week at Waterscape! This upscale cabin had everything for my family which included children. The beautiful firepit was a highlight and allowed us to enjoy several star-filled evenings. The kids loved the beach and the swimming area. I also commend Jon and Patti Moore for their thorough communication and availability to answer any questions leading up-to and during our stay.

Jon and Patti were wonderful hosts! House was beautiful and accommodated our family perfectly! Kids LOVED the loft sleeping. Looking forward to more summers!

Fantastic lakeside cottage with all the necessary amenities. Owners are extremely helpful and accommodating. Great location near Shep's boat rental. Really enjoyed our stay!

Check-in was easy. All the information provided beforehand was very helpful. The house is very clean and organized which made for an enjoyable stay The internet was on the fritz which honestly I didn't mind a kept my kids off their phones. Other than that everything was perfect I would like to be penciled in for the same week in 2020. Thanks again for everything and we appreciate you opening up your lovely home to us. Thanks Robert

Return to Lake Winnipesaukee where I summer as a child with my grown daughters and 11 grandchildren. Could not have had a better time. We were able to get a second home almost next-door so there was plenty of room for everyone. We also had a great weather week.

What a beautiful and peaceful spot in the lake. We started our week with the most gorgeous sunset and finished with a spectacular rainbow. Enjoyed boating (we brought a sunfish and kayaks and rented a pontoon boat). Plenty of space for our college aged kids to enjoy with us. Fun for all. The house had everything we needed and then some. Thank you for a memorable week!

We had a great week at Waterscape. The house was perfect for our family and friends and that came to visit. The outside shower was the favorite, but the kids also enjoyed the lofts, while the adults were fond of the porch. Hopefully we will be able to come back next year.

This is a terrific lake house perfect for family retreats - lots of rustic charm with modern amenities. The porch is amazing, there's a kid-friendly beach area, and kids loved toasting marshmallows by the fire pit. The bumper pool and air hockey were great for the rainy days. Jon and Patti are top-notch hosts, friendly and responsive. I really appreciated their level of thought and care - they made this family vacation a breeze!

My family thoroughly enjoyed our time at Waterscape! From the very thoughtful welcoming touches such as the welcome sign to the awaiting message inside along with a bottle of wine and positive words and messages all over the very tastefully decorated home. I have never felt so comfortable in a rental property in my life. Jon and Patti literally left no stone unturned and thought of absolutely everything! Kitchen very well equipped and there was nothing lacking. Beds were comfortable and loved hearing the loons just outside the window and watching the sunrise over the lake. My family ranges in age from 78 to 2 years and everyone found peace and enjoyment at Waterscape! The fire pit is fabulous and we enjoyed s’mores several nights. Sandy area was wonderful for the grandchildren to dig in and build castles. I would highly recommend this home to any medium to large family looking for a refreshing yet peaceful and relaxing getaway! Thank you Jon and Patti for your obvious gift of hospitality!

We were delighted with out time at this beautiful location. The four of us were very comfortable and there was also room for other family members who came through during our week. The home was comfortable, well equipped and positioned with a wonderful view of the lake. The front porch and fireplace were an amazing place to relax, watch the stars and spend time with the family. Great communication and help getting things worked out. We would would love to come back again!

We had an incredible time staying here at Waterscape. The house and the property are gorgeous and we were able to fish and tube right out in front of the docks. It’s a short boat ride to the dock where you park your car (very convenient). We were able to drive our boat down to Merideth for lobster roll diners and to weirs beach for the arcades with the kids. We had another family with us that had never been to the lake and they fell in love with Waterscape. All and all a great place to vacation. Thanks to the Moore’s for providing the perfect vacation!

Planning a family vacation can be difficult, especially with tweens and teens. It is important to have “favorites” for each family member. For our summer vacation, we chose the islands of New Hampshire to explore. This checked all the boxes on our wish list. We were fortunate enough to be able to stay at the Mark Island VRBO for one week in June. During that week, my boys fished from the dock, kayaked, and swam in the clear waters of Lake Winnipesaukee. We had not ventured to New England before and are from Florida, so this was quite a change, and what a delight! The home was perfect for all of us. The master suite was very comfortable and the kitchen included everything possible for us to cook nightly. My boys had the whole second floor to themselves, which they found to be perfect. A TV in virtually every room, plus a loft for each of the younger boys was a highlight. They played air hockey, and bumper pool. We enjoyed the nightly fire pit, making Smore‘s, catching lightning bugs, and calling loons. Around the fire pit, we read ghost stories from a tableside book about the island folklore and mistique. We rented a fabulous boat from Shep Brown’s marina and enjoyed many of the neighboring towns including Gibson, Meredith, and Wolfboro. The towns were charming and island life was so relaxing and peaceful. At the end of all our trips, we discuss as a family our “ roses and thorns “ of the vacation. This vacation “ knocked it out of the park “ for our Florida family.

We were a bit anxious about the thought of island living, but with planning and the excellent info provided by the Moore's on Waterscape, it went very smoothly. The place was great, nicely decorated and had everything we needed. The extras such as the games and particularly air hockey, kept the kids busy even when not on the water or outside. The porch was my favorite spot and nightly fires were enjoyed by all. There was even a bottle of wine waiting for us on arrival. A very nice touch. A wonderful adventure!!!

Waterscape is wonderful vacation home I have happily recommended to friends. Jon & Patti have thought it through very well. Everything you need in a clean and very well maintained home. The Fire pit is all one needs for a comfy evening outdoors after boating, kayaking, swimming or just relaxing. The outdoor shower was delightful and very freeing. On the occasional rain day the home is stocked w all sorts of cards, games and books. All instructions / hints from the owners made it a very smooth stay.

We love island living and staying at Waterscape was awesome. The house is perfect with all the amenities you could ever need. The owners were very responsive and provided very detailed information for our stay. The weather was absolutely fantastic and we could not have had a better vacation. I wish it didn't fly by so fast.

Can't say enough about our stay at Waterscape. It was an ideal setting for our family vacation and looking forward to our next visit!

We wanted to try out vacationing on an island and this was our first time. We're glad we selected Waterscape. We're just back from spending a great week there. This home is the perfect way to truly get away while still having all the comforts of home. The care and attention Jon and Patti have shown Waterscape is obvious. They have thought of everything. This post and beam home and smart layout is just right. I liked the floor plan a lot. This home offered more than we expected! The location on the lake is a great launching point for visits to several Lake Winni ports. Waterscape has a great dock and easy access to the mainland. The area between Mark Island and Bear Island is superb for water sports. The rental process was smooth and Jon responded to all my questions quickly. The Welcome Letter and communications were first rate. Great place! Hated to pack up a leave. Look forward to returning some day.
