Our family of 6 (grandparents, parents and 2 kids) had the best time! The property is stunning and has beautiful greenery and trees providing privacy and shade. The sandy beach, boat slips and walking trails around the home made our stay an A+. Bunk house with AC/Heat and TV was a big hit! Main house is comfy with 3 bedrooms, dishwasher and laundry. Windows and sliding doors are everywhere which make you feel like you are outside all the time and give you a beautiful view of the lake from every corner of the home! Would definitely book this home again :)

This property is a hidden gem on Lake Winnipesaukee. Unique and special in every sense, this was our second year staying on Pixie Island. Not only did the property not disappoint, it seemed even better than last year. Private and relaxing, it is still close to many amenities, and the location affords easy travel to Meredith and other Winnipesaukee destinations. Check-in and check-out were seamless, and the house had everything we needed.

Open the gate, cross the footbridge and leave the real world behind as you enter Pixie Island! Very clean, beautiful views, spacious and something for everyone. Small beach perfect for little ones, fishing off the dock, swimming, boating, fire pit s’mores by the water and so many places to relax and unwind lakeside. Close to shopping, Weirs Beach and local attractions. Many memories made during our stay!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay on Pixie Island! The property offers amazing views and privacy. It perfectly accommodated 7 adults (our single daughter loved staying in the bunk house!) The grandchildren loved the beach area where they could walk into the water and the dock space was great for our boat. We sat around the fire each night enjoying the family and the serenity of the lake. The house had everything we needed and the owners are wonderfully accommodating! We hope to return soon!

This property is unique and thoroughly enjoyable. Our mouths dropped when we first walked across the footbridge to the island and then opened the door to one of the best and most private views of Lake Winnipesaukee.

Great gathering spot for a family vacation at Winnipesaukee. Quieter than expected mainly due to it being an island and little bit isolated from the neighbors. Clean and well appointed.

We’ve stayed in various houses in the Meredith area, and this was by far one of the best. The unique island setting coupled with the well appointed, comfortable house makes this a truly exceptional Winnipesaukee vacation experience. Truly, the owners have thought of every detail and were promptly responsive when we asked for additional bath towels.
What stood out most, among many things, is that the owners love the house and island and treat both with great care. This isn’t always the case with vacation rental properties. We are definitely thinking of coming back next year!

Went for a get away to spend time as a family with my five grandchildren. They loved that the property had to be reached by a bridge. Had everything we could of wanted and more, firepit, docks, row boat, beach, hammock, outdoor dining table, and rocks to climb on. We all came home and said we had a blast!

We are grandparents that took on the task of sitting for our two granddaughters ages 8 and 4 while their parents were to take a tenth anniversary trip. The girls were offered a choice between an ocean experience, Disney World or A Winnipesaukee vacation. The girls had a lot of requirements including a sandy beach and a good swimming location.
After picking a lake vacation, the parents trip was cancelled and we had two additional adults. Pixie Island did not disappoint. The girls had a great time. Most meals were outside on the large granite table and the view was terrific.
We stayed at the little island for the entire week and there was little need to venture out with the exception of an evening lake tour with Captain Bill, a displaced Bostonian who has a sightseeing boat. Look up Captain Bill for a fun two hours. Thanks to Erica for a nice week and rapid responses to any questions.

I have a personal connection to this location, as my grandfather built it for his wife and children as a retreat camp. I am happy to say that it has retained all of its charm and privacy while, at the same time, staying current with modern amenities. This is not a luxurious place, by any stretch, but rather peaceful and calming and fun, with a large open deck, private (small but usable) beach, and dock big enough for most boats on the lake. I will keep coming back as long as it retains the look and feel of the original retreat.

Perfect location!
We absolutely loved our stay at Pixie Island!
We had never rented on the Lake before, so we were a bit in the dark on how to go about choosing a location. Turns out we chose the perfect spot! The house sits on its own little private island, with an incredible view of the lake. So peaceful!
To access the house there is a walking bridge from the mainland to the island. It’s a short walk, so not an issue. There are three parking spots on the mainland to use, and a good size wagon to help move your luggage to the house.
The house is just as the pictures show on-line. The rooms are nicely decorated, clean and comfortable. The AC works great! There is a small, separate building that houses the fourth bedroom. The building looks like a small cabin and is located just next door to the main house. We weren't sure how that would work out, but it was just fine. Just like the main house, the room is decorated nicely, clean and comfortable. And yes, it too is air conditioned.
The living room was a bit smaller than what we are used to for our group (4 adults and 4 kids, ages between 17-23), but we managed. We spent most of our time outdoors, but when it rained, we had had enough room to hang out in the family room and play games.
The owners were very responsive. While there, I texted them twice with questions. They responded within minutes.

Unique Gem
Spent a great week on Pixie Island with two families, including five kids between 10 and 16 yrs old. It's a great combination of feeling very private while on the island, yet being convenient to stores, restaurants, marinas, etc. The multiple outdoor seating areas all offer beautiful views of Paugus Bay. It's a very relaxing and peaceful place to sit outside with your coffee or cocktail. Paugus is a great area to tube / water ski, especially during the week. The rocks in the lake in front of the house both enhance the view, as well as offer the kids something else to jump off of, in addition to the dock. There is also decent fishing from the footbridge to the island and in the rocks outfront, or at Pickerel Cove which is a two minute boat ride.
Inside the house, the beds are very comfortable compared to most rentals, the A/C is great and the appliances are modern. The owners are very communicative and helpful, and obviously take a lot of pride providing a clean, modern, well appointed rental.
This is one of the best rentals we've had, and we'd rent Pixie Island again in a heartbeat.
