Family of 10 had an awesome time at this great lakefront home on Locke Lake in Barnstead, NH. House was awesome; the backyard was amazing. New trellis on the private beach. Gazebo on the patio. Private dock, kayaks, canoe and peddleboat. Kids loved using the slide and floating trampoline. Highly recommend!

As our vacation approached I tried many times to contact our contact person listed the letter we received with our check in info. I started on My 31st with an email followed by text messages then by phone, all with no luck. My many calls to Evolve and VRBO were ignored, with many promises to get back to me still with no luck! We checked in on June 18th and found the outside unkept, the decks and beach were not ready for use, there was 2 small bags of frozen ice cubes in the freezer but no ice maker or ice cube trays to make more… we are on a beach vacation and can’t even put ice in our drinks! We cooked a steak dinner to celebrate our 1st night but there were only 3 dinner plates (This house slept 14!) and only 2 steak knifes, which we had to share!!!!! We paid $8300 to stay here and it was supposed to have a fully equipped kitchen, which was not true! There was no laundry detergent left in the jug provided, no, extra trash bags which we were told to use, the shower handle kept falling off (it was very heavy and could have hurt someone) the hand soap dispenser in the main bathroom seemed to have been watered down that among other small things just weren’t right for the price we paid ! The worst thing of all though was when I finally got a text message from our contact persons husband, I returned his text with a phone call in which he told me that his wife had died 2 weeks before (how could I complain about his home now)…. I was treated very unfairly and I can’t get any compensation from either Evolve or VRBO since neither one will return a call with the answers I am looking for!!! I feel bad for the next renters !!!

The property was just as described and we had a wonderful vacation.

We had an amazing stay here! The property is on the lake, gorgeous, very fitting for a large group of varying ages - we were celebrating my dad's 70th birthday, and had 2 families with young kids, 2 babies and adults The place is very well equipped, with games, the lake has canoes, a slide, a floating trampoline dock - really everything a kid could want :) The kitchen is very well equipped, great grill, wonderful gazebo to sit and eat watching the lake, a fire pit, breathtaking sunsets - a dream. We had an amazing time and can't wait to return! There were very clear instructions in a folder, and when I couldn't find a light switch I was given help. Thank you so much for a lovely and relaxing stay, it was perfect!

Had a great week at lake. The lake is great for kayaking and paddle boarding. Yard is perfect great for games and dogs. Lots of space inside and outside Would highly recommend

Myself and friends stayed here for 5 days. What an amazing house! It had everything you would want for a trip to a lake. Everything was also fully stoked and made it very easy for our group. 10/10 trip, I would absolutely go back here!

House was as advertised. The lake was beautiful. Made for a great trip

This house and location was great for our families to share with our kiddos. The lake was quiet, the house was a great size and had all the amenities we needed. Close to trails and Lake Winnipesaukee. Will definitely rent again.

Here for an extended family Thanksgiving, LOVED the home, the location(!), and very accommodating all around. 13 of us at any given time and the size was just right. We felt very “at home.” Impressed with management and ease of use. HIGHLY recommend!!

We had a "framily" reunion at this beautifully located property. It is obvious that the owners take a lot of pride in their property from the tasteful decorations and welcoming atmosphere! Being pet friendly was definitely a plus and the owners were more than helpful with providing information and responding to questions. I hope to visit again someday!

The owners, Larry and Yazmin are great. Very responsive and present. We had a lot of rain on our vacation and with eight adults, two toddlers and some dogs we spent a good amount of time inside and under the deck awning. The property handled all of this very well. Plus the property has AC and a generator and this helped as power went out a few times and it was very hot on a few days. I cannot say the same about the Evolve group. Taking four weeks to respond to my email request with a standard template email sent by "Evolve Vacation Rental" with no contact person is not my idea of service.

This house was perfect for our group of 12. Bummer that it was the winter but the outdoor space has a ton of usable waterfront space that would be enjoyable for large groups. Inside our group of 12 was very comfortable and the house had all the accommodations we were expecting. House was clean, check-in/out process simple. Would recommend!

4 generations enjoyed this amazing home! Private beach and kayaks were a hit!

All the extras at the property were definitely a plus, and unexpected!!! We brought beach stuff with us, but there was so much there we probably didn’t need anything. And, all the amenities in the house were unexpected too! Thank you to the owners... such a nice touch. Feel bad that we were loud one night and they got complaints. We hadn’t been together as a family in quite some time, and we forgot how noise travels on the water... thank you for being understanding and bringing it to our attention in such a nice manner. We had a wonderful 2020 family vacation!!

My family and I had a great time on this beautiful property. The property had everything we needed. The children enjoyed jumping off the dock and riding the kayaks. The fire pit and grill were a plus. We enjoyed making s’mores and sitting by the fire. We spend our days outside enjoying all the amenities. The neighbors were very friendly. The only negative was the bottom of the water once you got about knee deep. It was very mushy. The lake was great for fishing. The house was very clean and tidy. Thank you for sharing your home with us! We made wonderful memories here! We would definitely recommend this home to others and hope to return next year.

Home is larger than it appears outside. Functions very well for a larger group. We had 9 adults and 3 children and were quite comfortable. The beach at the house is awesome and made for kids!!! They loved it! We did bring our own kayaks and happy we did. Overall a very nice stay.

The Lake is not great; shallow, lots of weeds floating upon the shore, beach at the Lake house is mucky when you go beyond your knees. This was disappointing. The listing needs to be updated to show a summer picture as opposed to a winter picture. The Lake House is wonderful, it is clean and has all the amenities you would ever want. The Property owner is awesome to work with. The geese fence needs to be up 100% of the time to avoid what happened to us: poop all over the lawn and beach. Took 2 people, 2 hours to clean it up.
