My favorite week of the year
This was our 2nd year staying at your cottage and we already booked for next year- The outdoor space is what keeps us coming back- It is perfect for our family I was disappointed when we saw all the ants that were in the house especially the kitchen- we did buy ant traps and it did resolve this-

Beautiful location, very family friendly
Our group included my husband, myself, our older daughter, her husband and 3 month old baby, our younger daughter, and our two dogs. The house is in a gorgeous location right on the lake, with its own small beach, which was perfect for our plans for a quiet relaxing week. We were also very excited to have use of the kayaks - the lake is ideal for that! It seems like the house has undergone some renovations and maybe got stalled in the process. The living room, dining room, and some of the kitchen seem to have been updated, and the bedrooms were okay, but there wasn't anywhere to put clothes - no dressers or shelves, only a closet bar with a few hangers. We had trouble with the septic system after a couple days, but the owner was quick to respond and sent a repairman first thing the following morning, so we only had to live without toilets for one night, thank goodness. The house did have many extras for the baby and for the dogs, which was greatly appreciated.

Nice potential
We booked this stay for our mom and dad’s mothers/ Father’s Day gift. The idea was to spend the weekend together as a family with the kids and the dogs to use the beach, swim, canoe, etc. I had reached out to the owner through vrbo and personal email asking questions about check out time and never received a response. When we got there the place looked nice but the back yard had such long grass that we had to weed wack. The deck was covered in dirt and looked like it hadn’t been visited in a while. The canoe that they advertised had no seats and couldn’t be used. After swimming in the water for the first night and next morning we became aware that the water was dangerous and had a high level of Cyanobacteria. Thank goodness the kids didn’t get sick after being exposed for an extended amount of time. House has potential but the yard should be cleaned before people come.

Really spacious home, in a nice neighborhood. We came here in the winter and it was beautiful, but I can’t imagine how beautiful it is in the summer with the lake right out in the backyard.

Awesome Barnstead, NH Lakefront Vacation
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!

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!

Awesome property for quality family time
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!!

Ideal and beautiful spot!
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!

Beautiful property! Fit our family dynamics perfectly. All had a wonderful time!!
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!!

Great property for families
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.

Locke Lake
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.
