Beautiful and functional cabin!

The property as a whole was perfect! The inside of the cabin is absolutely beautiful - a cabin feel with great quality finishes. The beach/lake access was nice, lake views were stunning, and the backyard was spacious - great for bonfires, yard games, etc. We would absolutely stay here again if looking for a cabin in this area.

Love the Blue Ox Barn and Ossiwinnamakee Lake

The Blue Ox Barn was a great place for our family get together. The lake was very nice and relaxing. We saw and heard Loon, bald eagle and osprey! The cabin is spacious and comfortable. We would go back!

Perfect getaway

What a perfect vacation home for our family! This property had everything we needed for a wonderful lake stay. Cute, cozy, and comfortable. We didn’t spend much time indoors- but the home was perfect for us. The lake was beautiful, our kids really enjoyed fishing off the dock, and we all fully enjoyed the beach area! The owners were also wonderful at answering all of our questions and getting back to us in a timely manner. Highly recommend and we would love to visit again!
