Nestled in a wild woodland, this beautiful private rustic log cabin overlooks a lake. Spend summer days on the sandy beach, exploring the water by kayak or raft and watching for eagles from the huge porch. As evening falls, roast marshmallows by the fire pit or lounge in a hammock as fireflies dance nearby.

About this property

Rustic Lakefront Cabin-- a glorious summer vacation! Beach, fishing, kayaks.

  • The reason we get such rave reviews is that we want you to have as much fun here as we have always had! The whole place is yours for your selected time., right on the beach. We want you to experience our beautiful, private rustic log cabin nestled in a wild woodland on a lake renowned for bass fishing, The sandy beach, kayaks, paddleboards, raft and dock hold you as you play for hours in the spring fed water. Watch for eagles and great blue heron from the huge porch as the kids stalk chipmunks, swim, kayak and fish by the waterside deck, catch fireflies in the evening, roast marshmallows by the fire pit; Hammock time is key for the full experience!! September brings hot days with cool evenings, as the crisp air starts the turning of the leaves to orange and gold. By October, it's a leaf peepers’ paradise, and the lake and backroads are aflame in red, purple and bright orange.
    Our spacious cabin is 1700 square feet big and has 3 bedrooms (two queen beds, 3 twins, one futon: sleeps 7) and 3 bathrooms; additional space includes a semi finished basement and a loft that serves as a game room, art studio and extra bedroom. The porch overlooks the lake ;with easy canoe launchand seating, raft, dock, three kayaks, two paddleboards, one canoe with backrests. Renowned for bass fishing.
    History comes to life here, as the old country store motif fascinates kids and adults alike. Kids love to "shop" at the counter which is a huge old country store display case with original cash register
    Yet here you will also find all the modern comforts you long for during your special vacation. Great open kitchen, well -equipped for cooks; new gas stove, fridge and silent dishwasher; dining area and comfortable, spacious family room with vaulted ceiling. Leather recliners face the stunning large stone fireplace and smart TV, with full internet service, and swiveltoward the table for afterfinner chats.Check out the camp book shelf for info about local hikes, the White Mountains nearby, classic reads for kids and adults.
    There is a bathroom on each of the three floors, one with a genuine deep clawfoot tub
    Basement lower level space with extra large shower, pool table, couch, DVD old movie collection, lots of games, cozy child play space.
    The full length porch overlooking the lake can be the center of your gathering, as seated on old fashioned camp furniture you watch folks jump off the float as the sun retreats over the foothills. Huge outdoor octagonal table for eating and games.
    Comfortable beds, private spaces, local artwork, lots of classic vacation reading stocked on old bookshelves as you take turns on the hammock; lie on the porch couch, watch the chipmunks and squirrels play in the treetops as herons and eagles fly by. Watch for deer, hear loon calls at dawn. Enjoy the swing set, sandbox and child chairs for the grandchildren in our safe and child friendly home.
    Quaint local restaurants and beautiful New England scenery will draw you back here time and again. Local trails nearby and Appalachian Mountain Club hiking north in the White Mountains; shopping in North Conway. Special restaurants in the lovely town of Wolfeboro, a 20 minute drive from camp.
    So much to do and see in all weather and time of year. The views of fall leaves are unbeatable. Bring your paints, the art studio space is there for you in the loft, near the poker chips and the extra futon bed.

Perfect Lakefront Getaway

We had a really nice stay! The lake is fantastic for swimming and kayaking, and the dock is perfect for relaxing. The kitchen is well-equipped with everything you need. The beds are comfortable, and the house has all the amenities you need for a great vacation on the lake. Highly recommend!

Rustic Cabin

This cabin was adorable with lots of antiques and art work by Mary. We had a great time although the weather did not cooperate. We used the kayaks and ventured onto the lake which was quiet and serene. The cabin has everything you need and then some. Thanks for sharing your home!

Relaxing girls weekend!

My friends and I were looking for a nice relaxing, kid free weekend. We got exactly that. It was so peaceful. Sitting on the back deck over looking the water, watching the morning sun gleam off the water all the way to watching the beautiful sunsets. Everything was just so relaxing!!! I highly recommend staying here for complete peace!!

cabin on Belleau Lake

The cabin was amazing, very comfortable and so interesting with all the antiques..love it! The lake was gorgeous, unfortunately the weather was terrible, cold and rainy all week!! We made the best of it and thank goodness the lake was warm so the kids still enjoyed paddle boarding, kayaking and rides in the canoe!! Beautiful place, loved the porch overlooking the lake, sat and watched the hummingbirds come to the feeder, great fire pit, beautiful pool table, game room and more!! If the weather was better it would have been a perfect vacation!

Peaceful lakeside retreat

We enjoyed 2 weeks at Mary and Frank’s home. The house has everything you need for a comfortable vacation, plus board games, watercraft, a pool table, and swim raft. We spent a lot of time on the large porch, watching hummingbirds come and go, and checking out the lake activity. We were pleasantly surprised that there were no mosquitoes! The yard could use a little tlc, but there is a beautiful small garden by the shed with herbs and flowers. The mini tomatoes were delicious. Location was great for us- close to MA, and right on the border of ME.

So comfortable and relaxing!

We loved our stay at this spacious, comfortable, and interesting cabin. The porch was our favorite place to relax, read, and look out at the lake. The hammock and the little rocker right next to the lake are also pretty great! Inside, the whole house is a curated work of art, with fascinating antique pieces, lovely original paintings, and delightful curios in every room. Comfortable beds, fabulously comfy recliners, a kitchen stocked with everything you might need … we can’t wait to return. Next time we might do some kayaking, but this time we just hung out and soaked in the restful atmosphere that we had hoped to find, and did.

SUMMER FUN

The ultimate lake house summer weekend! I came with a group of friends to celebrate the fourth and have a fun reunion together to relive our summer camp days. During our stay we had a blast on the lake using the paddle-boards, kayaks, and tubes from the house. The kitchen had everything we needed for a cookout, and the fire-pit provided the perfect spot for the end of the night. This home is ideal to catch up with friends and enjoy the summer. The beds were super comfy and the whole house was very clean. Hoping we can do it again one day, we loved our time here!

Relaxing Lakeside Family Retreat

We had a wonderful stay!!! The home is absolutely perfect, wonderfully decorated (including the owner’s own lovely artwork!) - everything you’d possibly need is there and available to you. My son and his girlfriend kayaked the entire lake and loved it. We all enjoyed the fire pit overlooking the lake, the covered porch and playing several games of pool in the basement. Kitchen amazing as well. Too much more great stuff to describe. One of our best VRBO stays. Thank you Mary and Frank!!! We’ll be back again!!!

We didn’t want to leave.

The lake is so close that you could hear the water lapping when you sat on the porch. Utter serenity. The hummingbirds were flitting from the flowers to their feeder. The owner was so generous with every supply that you could imagine. Mary was always just a phone call away. She’s so sweet and helpful. The cabin is beautiful and clean. Mary’s artwork is amazing! There were antiques tastefully placed. They were such fun and so interesting to look at. The beds are very comfortable. It was fun taking out the canoe. The whole week was just perfect. We did not want to leave. We hope to be welcomed back!

Nice Views and Responsive Host but Cluttered, Older Property

The house has a very nice view of the lake, which you can see from many different rooms in the house. The colors of the foliage and the sunrise were beautiful! There are also lots of nice places to sit outside to take the view in. With a two year old, it was also great to have the downstairs play space and toys available as well as books throughout the house. The swing set was nice as well. Mary was flexible and communicative before and during the stay. She allowed us to check in early, which was nice. They also had kayaks and canoes available for use. It is an older house, which is fine and was clear from the pictures and listing, but there was a fair amount of dust on surfaces and in corners. There was an old sock against the wall by a bed in one room. I would describe the house overall as cluttered. The bathtub, though it looked clean at first glance, once I filled it up with water, I realized there was a fair amount of little hairs I had to scoop out. These are not huge issues but when you pay to stay somewhere, these are not things you want to deal with. Part of why we stayed in this area is that we thought there was hiking nearby. It looked that way when we looked on Google as well but when we looked in the binder provided, the hikes were a half hour or more away. We were hoping for things closer--this may have just been a misunderstanding on our part.
