A little piece of Heaven❤️

We had the most wonderful time of our lives at this little piece of Heaven nestled in the New Hampshire woods. Richard and Betsy were so very kind and we felt welcomed into their little part of their world. Their home was very comfortable and clean and well furnished. Right down to the toys for our grandsons! We loved the way their home was laid out. There was a play area for the boys, a comfortable living room for us all of us and a lovely dining room for family meals and games. We enjoyed the tv room and just the friendliness of the area. We also took advantage of the grill and had a cookout on the lovely deck. We took advantage of the lake and the many sites within driving distance. We would most definitely come here again with our family. I know the grandkids are counting on it!

Lake Cabin

Great privacy, perfect cabin on the water. We used the boat dock two days, only issue was the ladder wasn't screwed to the dock. Seemed like a safety issue. It would have been nice to have blinds in the windows in the king bed room. We had an issue with black bugs crawling on king bed and crawling on us at night, we left a night earlier because of it. Would have loved if there was an ac unit in the kitchen/ living room area. With the cost I would have expected the beds to be made and above the shower in the upstairs bathroom was moldy.

Amazing stay

Richard's lake house was absolutely amazing! Very secluded and quiet, you'll feel like you have a small portion of the lake to yourselves. The house is in great shape and has all the amenities needed, we were comfortable there with a baby and multiple family members. I'd recommend to anyone looking for a stay on Winnipesauke, we will book again!

Winni Summer Vacation

Great secluded stay

We had the best time! The home was set up well for our group of three generations. The media room was a great space for entertaining, especially when it was raining. We did lose power several times, but the host was quick to share with us where the flashlights and such were. The wading pool area of the lake was perfect for my 5 year old and for the 60 and 70 year olds in our group to get in and out of the lake. We would absolutely stay here again!

We always enjoy our stay at Loonrise - great house, great location, great hosts! Everything is as advertised, the house is spacious, well stocked, clean, and comfortable even for large families or groups. The lake is gorgeous. Highly recommend sleeping in the cabin by the dock so you can hear the loons in the wee hours.

Made us feel like family

Outstanding experience. We had car trouble on the way there. Richard and his wife were wonderful. We ended up sending the kids up to the house while we dealt with finding a rental car to be able to continue the trip. Richard and his wife checked on the kids and made sure they were good before we were able to make it there on Sunday afternoon. The house and property were amazing and secluded, yet close to a beautiful town. Overall a great and relaxing vacation, even with the car troubles.

Summer at Loonrise

We had three generations staying at Loonrise for a week, 8 family members total. Richard was very timely with his response to any questions we had, and everything was exactly as advertised. We brought our 21’ boat with us, and made excellent use of the dock all week. The house is very spacious and comfortable! This was an excellent trip at a perfect getaway location with excellent hosts. We would definitely stay again!

Perfect Getaway

Very spacious, clean property with plenty of parking. Loonrise was the perfect home for our family vacation. Location in a protected cove was ideal. The property is also convenient to many hikes with views of the lakes. We took advantage of the dock and rented a pontoon boat. Friendly hosts who provided us with everything that we needed for a relaxing stay.

Great location, quiet and beautiful cove

We had plenty of room for our family in this spacious and comfortable house. It is a great location on a quiet cove for kids and adults to swim, kayak, boat and fish. Also, some great spotting of wildlife in the woods surrounding the property. The kids also especially enjoyed finding treasures in the games/toy closet when the weather wasn't cooperative.

Beautiful!

We had an amazing stay at this wonderful home, which was obviously built with loving care. The house is big, with enough bedrooms for a large or extended family, and had the best-stocked kitchen I've seen in a vacation rental. The owners are friendly and great to work with. I highly recommend sleeping in the cabin by the water if you can!

We completely enjoyed ourselves. the property is uniquely constructed with a knotty pine look inside and has a beautiful large deck. Everything we needed was available and more.

Met our every need

Loonrise is lovely and unique. The layout was ideal for our family of 9 adults and 3 children. We loved the easy access to crystal clear water for swimming and kayaking. We prepared every meal at the cabin and even enjoyed making home-made ice cream. Our hosts were kind, considerate and responded to our special situation that blessed us greatly.
