Melvin Village - 5 Bed/3 Bath - Lake Winnipesaukee

10/10 Excellent

"Our group of friends stayed here for a wedding weekend, and this property completely exceeded our expectations. The house offered incredible space for everyone to spread out, relax, and catch up without feeling crowded. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by the size, location, and the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable, and the main living areas provided an ideal gathering spot for late-night chats and morning coffee before heading out to the wedding festivities. It served as the ultimate home base for a wedding celebration we won't soon forget, and we would gladly book another stay here in a heartbeat."

10/10 Excellent

"This is a very comfortable ranch-style home right on the lake with its own dock. The host Chrystal was responsive, flexible, and easygoing, making for an excellent stay. This house really can comfortably sleep a large number of people and is perfect for a multigenerational family or two families traveling together. The new AC and heat also was an excellent feature! There's a smart TV so if you are a TV watcher, it's important to bring your device and/or logins."

"Lake Winni Getaway provided JUST the atmosphere we were looking for, inside and out. What a treasure! The condo was cozy, well adorned, the kitchen was well stocked and the sunroom and patio offered varied extensions to the outdoors. The lake views were soothing with complementing well maintained surrounding grounds. A treat of a getaway!"

Family Retreat on Lake Winnipesaukee

10/10 Excellent

"This was a great space for a family gathering, lots of room to spread around inside and out. The kitchen was well stocked, which made it nice to have to only bring essentials. The location was so beautiful, quiet and peaceful. Only thing I would suggest is maybe some updates to living room furniture and maybe a couple of kayaks or canoe to use. Checking in and out was simple with clear instructions. We really enjoyed our stay and made great memories."
