2 loads of towels and 1 load of linens were left on washer for us to do, house had many fruit flies, couldn't figure source until went to throw away a bag of garbage, there were hundreds of flies and fruit flies in storage bin. the garbage cans are hard to get to and to small, this situation must have existed for some time.2 bed were full not queens, just needs a little upgrade, otherwise place was great.

This property had everything we could possibly need for a family vacation! From the size (3 bdrms plus the 2 sets of bunks in the finished basement, the interior living space, large kitchen area with everything you could need provided), to the exterior with the dinghy, kayaks and canoe, corn hole, hottub, covered deck, chairs and lounges, hammock - wow! I"ve stayed at other lake front properties, and this one is by far the best fit for our family. We had lake friends visit for the day and there was plenty of room to park their pontoon and jet ski at the dock, with another jet ski at the mooring. The swim dock with the seat-backs and pop-up table were a nice surprise! The home was super clean and they provide linens - one less thing to pack =) Mini splits a/c and fans in every room. Any kitchen appliance you could need - another nice surprise because i usually bring all that with me. Plenty of parking! We had 8 vehicles one day. And the communication with this owner was outstanding! Clear, concise instructions and immediate responses. Just wonderful! Highly recommend.

Clean, well equipped appliances. The dock can be tough to dock a boat. But all in all this is one of the better houses I have to stay at on the lake.

Absolutely perfect getaway spot for Lake Winnipesaukee!! Communication and check in process with Jamie was easy and accommodating. This property has everything you need for a lake getaway whether it be with friends or family. I took my family here for a 4 day weekend and we didn’t want to leave! There were 9 of us and everyone was comfortable and relaxed. Everything was perfect and my mind was at ease knowing that Jamie would be quick and helpful if anything went awry. I rented a pontoon boat for two days and getting out onto the lake and docking was extremely easy. The kayaks and canoe did not go to waste either. Beautiful sunsets for a beautiful property. Can not wait to book again!

What a beautiful home! We were 8 woman on a bachelorette party looking for relaxation and laughs! This was such a perfect setting and Jamie could not have been a better host. This spacious home allowed for all us to spread out comfortably. It was clean and well stocked! Location was perfect, right on the lake with beautiful views of the mountains. Jamie was responsive, kind and extremely accommodating! Fresh flowers upon arrival was an extra special touch! Would definitely use this property again if I were to be in the area. The only complaint we had was Mother Nature did not cooperate for us. Even still the house was perfectly set up for us to enjoy. Despite the weather we were able to grill, use the jacuzzi and hang inside comfortably! Book this property, you won’t regret it!

What an amazing spot. The cleanliness of this house was refreshing right when we walked in... fresh flowers, mints on pillows. The view!!! wow. From the view, layout, beds, coziness and cleanliness the listing and pic's don't do it justice.
We had friends and family in the area as well and the house was perfect to entertain family dinner.

We can't say enough good things about our stay.
Pre-trip- communication was fast and clear with our host.
Arrival- Everything was clean and ready to go. We had a question about parking that was answered immediately. There was easily enough parking for 6 cars (we had 5), and I suspect you could have fit 9 if you squeezed.
The stay- everything was comfortable and clean. We were able to relax and the fall weather allowed us to take advantage of the beautiful area and hot tub. We didn't use either firepit or fireplace, but both were prepared with wood and kindling and would have been easily going with just a single match. The other two houses around were not occupied when we were there, but there would have been plenty of privacy had they been occupied.
Checking out- instructions were clear and easy to follow. As no one was checking in right after us our host let us know a late checkout would be fine (unprompted).
I would absolutely stay here again.

My mom wanted to be surrounded by family for her 70th birthday. With ages ranging from 2-75, Acorn Acres couldn’t have done a better job accommodating everyone’s needs. We paddled at sunrise, had cocktail hour on the deck, read stories of Winnipesaukee and even kept tweens happy with the hot tub. Everything in house was organized and accessible. The views were outstanding. The street was quiet, and the instructions were clear. This was the epitome of a lake house. We will be back.

I personally have been vacationing on the lakes of ME, NH and VT since the 60's, with my wife climbing onboard several decades later. But never in all of those years have we found a more perfect lake house, it was stunning in every respect. The house itself is beautiful. It’s warm and inviting with just the right amount of opulence and comfort. It has great amenities with everything we could possibly need as Jamie’s attention to detail is spot on - as soon as we stepped inside we felt at home. And without even having to step outside, the view from the living room alone is breathtaking. But when you do step outside, whether on the deck above or ground level below, you’re basically on the edge of heaven – particularly if you climb into the Jacuzzi. The view of WinnP, Mt. Washington and the Presidential Range are just mesmerizing. And even the neighborhood the house is situated in is VERY nice, with privacy that's hard to find in this day and age. I could go on and on but I’ll just say this . . . Bravo Jamie!, and thank you!!!

This house is a perfect choice for families / groups looking for a great week at the lake. It was spacious and clean, with incredible views of the lake. (From the deck, patio, dock, sitting area near the water, and big window in the living room.) Hot tub and fire pit were perfect for cooler days, AC was great for the hot humid ones. Water was pretty rocky, but with water shoes or floats (or the provided kayaks) it was totally fine. Can't be the location, not too far from Weirs. Host was very easy to work with and left clear directions for the house. Great experience all around.

Lovely stay on the water of Lake Winnipesaukee!!
This house had everything! We loved our stay. Our only suggestion was that there were 2 sets of bunk beds downstairs that had to use the one available bathroom. There was another bathroom in the master bedroom, but during the night when needing the bathroom, no one wanted to wake up the people in the master bedroom.

We never stay in the same place twice, but we would love to here!!!!! The house is amazing and perfect for my elderly wheelchair using family members. The host was wonderful and I had the most relaxing time. The house is a gem! My cousins have cabins on Cow island so they zipped over on the boat for sunset cruises. The view of the mountains is breathtaking. Sunsets are pink and orange. Thank you so much for these wonderful memories. We appreciate you opening up your home. Cheers

Amazing Property and Amenities
We had a family and friends group of 12 adults and this property was perfect! The setup with the deck, cornhole, hot tub, outdoor tv, basketball hoop, and dock was unbelievable. Jamie was quick to respond with any questions and we were even able to tie a boat up to the dock. Perfect stay for larger groups and you can’t beat the price to stay right on Winnipesaukee!

We had a wonderful time for a long weekend to celebrate my birthday! The house is fantastic, very accommodating for a group of adults with two infants. The lake view is great, the hot tub and deck have beautiful views. It's a very quiet neighborhood which is nice to get away from the city. It's a short drive to Gunstock as well as some nearby hiking. Jamie was a great host and was super communicative especially about what to expect with the property. Would definitely love to come back any time of year!

Best Family Vacation
We had a great time. You can't find a better location. The view is beautiful. It's located in a nice quiet neighborhood at the end of a street. Close enough to take a drive to the grocery store. Nice little walking path at the corner of the street, which we loved. The covered porch & backyard is where we spent most of our time. And the linens included was great, less I had to pack. Communication with Jamie was awesome. Would definitely rent this property again!

Tremendous get away location with everything you need to enjoy!!!!
Our family had a great time at this very comfortable & beautiful home right on the Lake. The two covered decks offer tremendous views, including a hot tub with a TV. There is everything you need to enjoy the lake including a private dock, 2 kayaks, and a canoe. The house is located at the end of a dead end road, yet close to nice restaurants and lots of things to do nearby. The host (Jamie), was great to work with and has thought of everything to make your vacation as enjoyable and easy as possible.
Highly Recommend!!!!!!
