Laurie was extemely helpful and quick to respond throughout our stay. The home is fully stocked for pets and children.There were pack n plays, bowls, leashes, blankets, coffee, anything we needed which was a huge help when we ended up in the middle of a blizzard! The play room was huge hit, even with adults! Would stay again.
Laurie was so welcoming and helpful with booking. The house was fully loaded with everything you might need for a beach day. The kids had a blast and loved having their own space in the “game room”. We will definitely be back!
Late Summer Stay at Balmoral Estates on Lake Winnipesaukee.
We had a great time staying at Balmoral Estates. House was clean with all the supplies we needed. Beach was really pretty and only a .3 mile walk. People were very friendly. the Host went out her way. I had mentioned that we were celebrating my sister's birthday. Host left balloons and a bottle of champagne on the counter for us to celebrate. I highly recommend this property especially for kids and dogs. Beautiful setting and very much geared to families and pets. We would definitely stay here. again.

Beautiful property, located within driving distance of everything we were looking to do. The older boys enjoyed their own space downstairs. With air hockey and other games. The upstairs was big enough for all of us to have sit down suppers. Watch TV and just hang out together. The property owner was very quick to answer any questions. Very reaponsive to text. Plenty of beach supplies that we unfortunately didnt use, we tried to pack in as much adventure time into our mini trip, so we ran out of time to go to the beach at the property. Which is extremely close to the house. Bed were rated a 10 by everyone! The sheets were so comfortable that my daughter took a picture of the tag and is planning on purchasing a set for home.Laurie, also left us a smore making kit. We did by the firewood to use it, but were so tired at night, we ended up taking them home and using them the next night when we got back, when we had movie night! Thank you!
This was mine and my family's first vrbo. It was beyond our expectations our host was absolutely amazing the house was exactly what was described. It was so relaxing and quiet. We can't wait to get back.
Amazing stay. I can’t say enough about how accommodating and wonderful it was to work with Laurie. The cottage came with everything and more that we could ask for, the location was perfect with a quick walk to the community beach or play house. Everything was clean and neat. Lots of stuff for my kids to use. Playroom was a hit for everyone with darts, air hockey, board games and more. She left paddle boards and a floating mat that my kids loved!
We had a wonderful time staying at this home. It’s well stocked with everything needed for kids of all ages and plenty of beach supplies! My kids loved having a nightly family air hockey tournament! It’s in a beautiful location, a short drive or walk to a private beach that wasn’t crowded our whole stay. The kitchen is well stocked with supplies, there’s a lovely outdoor patio space and the beds are comfortable. Would definitely come back for another stay!
My now wife and I stayed at Laurie’s property for our wedding up the street at castle in the clouds. The house was so nice the pictures do not do it justice in my opinion! Much bigger than I thought. On top of that Laurie left us a bottle of champagne as a celebratory gift and a greeting. She was very helpful with some of her devices like the Apple TV which we were not used to working and answered very quickly and efficiently. 5/5 would recommend to anyone.
We had such a great time! The house was amazing- so much so that the kids didn’t want to leave the house. It had everything we needed. From high chair to beach chairs. We would definitely come back. We enjoyed the lake and the neighborhood and the neighbors too. Laurie was always quick to respond to my questions and a wonderful host. Thank you so much! We made great memories.
We had a great time and will likely stay here again! The house was extremely clean and it was an excellent set-up for the adults and kids. The private beach was just a short walk and thoroughly enjoyable. Also, just a half hour drive to Weir's Beach. Not many restaurants open monday through wednesday, so early week dining options are limited in the area. Nothing the owner can do about that. I highly recommend this property and my kids do as well!
This property had everything we needed. Plenty of room for two families and awesome for families with little ones. Laurie has thought of everything from gift basket of s’mores to games for the kids! It was just a short walk to the beach and not a far drive to Meredith. The property was clean and we would definitely stay again!!
We had a wonderful time staying here. The house was close enough to the beach and Lakes Region attractions. We are an active family and like to walk. The neighborhood had many quiet side streets perfect for walking. Castle in the Clouds is near by and offers a beautiful waterfall hike and it is free with plenty of parking (the castle is beautiful but there is a charge to tour it) We brought a Bayliner and the boat launch was perfect and the beach is quiet and beautiful. Lovely place. We had a great time.
My husband, daughter and I stayed here for our first getaway as a family of 3, and we had a great time! Laurie was so accommodating and provided all necessary baby-related gear so we wouldn’t have to lug ours from home. The house was spacious, clean, and felt like a home. We highly recommend this property!
We came up for the 4th of July and the weather just didn't cooperate, but even with crummy weather the house itself was great. The beds were comfy, the kitchen great, and the fireplace got used extensively (IN THE MIDDLE OF JULY!). The host even left us sparklers and smores ingredients for our festivities. We didn't get to use the beach much but the time we did it was great (a bit of a walk) and we did put our boat in the water. The ramp can get crowded and it's a single ramp where residents take their time putting in (not the house owner's fault) and you can't park your car/trailer at the ramp so you are forced to drive back to the house or clubhouse and park and walk back down (again, no fault of the host). She even let us borrow her beach chairs, paddle boat, and life jackets. It was a great weekend even though the weather was crummy as could be.
We had a great stay over memorial weekend. The weather was terrible but we made the best of it. The owners were wonderful and provided everything we needed!
