Cabin on the lake

Let's face it, it's more about the lake than anything else! We enjoyed our stay very much, especially because we were able to come with our furry family member. The cabin is spacious and has all necessities. The only drawback, there is no sound insulation, so if you have a loud snorer, the whole cabin will hear them. Otherwise, it's great. We had great time as a family.

Private large cabin on beautiful large pond

The pictures do not do the cabin the justice. Plenty of sleeping beds. The space was a lot larger than we anticipated. The kitchen is larger than the pictures showed. We were all really impressed. It’s an older style cabin if you love the rustic nostalgia of a cabin. Which we all did. Spent most of our time on the beautiful pond. Fishing, kayaking ect. Lots of family memories for a lifetime. Thank you. August 2023

Relaxing location

Repeat renters. Beautiful location & very relaxing. If you like to fish, you’re pretty much guaranteed to catch multiple large mouth bass either off the dock or while canoeing around the lake. Love the sounds of the loons & the beautiful sunsets. Nice to disconnect & do “old school” fun things w/ family, card games, playing a board games, doing a puzzle…

About the host

Hosted by Lori McGinley

My parents built this camp as our summer retreat from Long Island NY where I grew up. Since I live in beautiful NH now, even though I am closer, it seems we just don't use it as much as we should. We want to be able to keep it up and that is why we are renting it. My hope is that people will enjoy it as much as we do, as a peaceful, fun, unplugged break from our busy lives.

Why they chose this property

This is my family's camp. I grew up spending summers here as did my own kids. So many friends have enjoyed it and we thought it would be appreciated by others if we rented it. It is and ideal location for families, or anyone who just wants to take a break and enjoy the lake, swimming, fishing, kayaking, and listening to the loons as you fall asleep.

What makes this property unique

This is the opposite of going to crowded resort. Private lakefront, a bit of woods between our camp and the neighbors, the sound of loons, families on their docks, and screen doors. Plenty of options for day trips when people get antsy, then come back, have a fire, make s'mores and then fall asleep on the porch. All good.
