My group of 7 included two children 6 and 8, 2 grandparents in their 70s and 3 adults in their 40's. You cannot beat the location of the cottages a 25 - 50 yard walk from the water - the beach is lovely and soft sand -- highlights were waking up and walking 50 yards with a cup of tea to enjoy the morning light on the lake, evening campfire, outdoor dinners, kayaking, taking a rowboat ride to the small island nearby. Super close to castle in the clouds, many hikes, miniatture golf, and wolfeboro -- went to all of those too. The cottages are rustic but extremely clean with all the amenities you need to make good meals. One thing we didn't read about but would have been better to understand in advance was that the bedrooms in the cottages do not have ceilings, so there is no sound privacy (though you can shut the door to the rooms and have visual privacy. Tonya and Jay were attentive and friendly -- and we had a wonderful visit! Highly recommend for a big group!

Our second year staying here and it was just as we remembered. Such a gem of a spot for families. Private, clean, and relaxing! Thank you Jay and Tonaya!

We had a nice time during our stay. The cottages are basic but extremely clean. The owners have their cottage on site as well..closest to the beach. The owners are there on the weekend if you have any issues or questions. The beach portion is great...clean clear water which was extremely warm with powder soft sand. It was not secluded in the sense that there are people on either side of you..a private home and a campground. There is no a/c and so the cottages are in the 90’s during the day and evening. It cools off at night but is very uncomfortable on hot days. I suggest bringing an egg crate for the beds. They are extremely hard and uncomfortable. They do not have cable television .... Netflix and Hulu but there was no way to sign in to your own account so we couldn’t watch Hulu...only Netflix under the previous tenants account. The tv in the Hideaway didn’t work and unfortunately ..we told the owners and they didn’t do anything other than say it was probably time for a new tv ....and they don’t have a modem in the hideaway so the first day when the tv tuned on..it just stayed frozen and couldn’t get a signal and then it wouldn’t turn on at all. I would definitely bring beach chairs...there are some there and the owners are really nice and let you use theirs when they aren’t on the beach too. We will miss the amazing sunsets...and carefree days.

These two cabins and great stretch of beach were amazing! Very clean and well stocked with items you need for a week stay. Jay was great about answering all our questions before and during our stay. Five stars and we can’t wait to come back next year!

We rented the cabins for a family reunion. They were terrific. Jay went out of his way to make sure everything was ship shape. The beach is sandy and one of the best on the lake. There were 4 Kayaks available which we used quite a bit. The 2 gas grills were used often as well. Looking forward to our next trip to “Sandy Shores!”
