Tiny but pleasant

The setting is very, very nice and the beach is fantastic. Just be aware that it's very small and you need to bring *everything* except plates, glasses and utensils. Bob is a great host!

Waterfront

Location,location, location. Dealing with Bob, the owner, was a pleasure. Not so much Vrbo. If I'm going to shell out a lot of money for someone or someplace that I've never seen before, I would appreciate it to be able to talk with a real person first.

Vacation!

Place was peaceful and close to everything Laconia and the Lakes Region has to offer. Our cabin was small but suited us perfectly. Neighbors were very friendly and sweet. Even got a boat ride with one of the other cabin renters. Very nice couple. I would def pack toilet paper, paper towels, and whatever kitchen bags, aluminum foil ect for your stay. I anticipated this and was happy to shop and bring home the extra, but depends on the person. They have everything else for cooking ware. Great water pressure for shower too! The bed is pretty soft so if you bring a pillow top it's much better. But it's so great!! Beach is absolutely perfect!! Community as well!! Loved our stay. Thank you Bob!! Thank you Neighbors!!
