We fell in love with Lake Wentworth while visiting friends a few years ago and were able to find this house early. There are hardly any rentals around the lake, most of the houses are kept private, so this is a rare find. Here's my list of Pros/cons:
Pros:
- amazing spot right in the lake. It's the whole reason why we were there and it totally delivered on that. The lake itself is mostly calm and was warm and pleasant to swim in during our stay in August
- the dock and other outdoor spaces were terrific... Kayaks, a paddle board and canoe with lots of paddles and life jackets to use. We brought our own paddle board, but it was nice to have all these other toys for everyone to use.
- nice outdoor deck with a long table for sitting outside and fitting a lot of people. The indoor dining table was really long and also nice to dine at one end and have our setup of games at the other end
- location to the town of Wolfeboro is supper convenient
Cons:
- the place could have been cleaned much better before we arrived... Seemed like they rely too much on the people staying before to do most of the cleaning even though they say they have cleaners
- not too much of a con, but the house is more on the rustic side (which they state in the description). It's pretty typical of most of these houses in the area, but given the price of what is being charged, I can see how some people may be a bit put off by it. Our family isn't fussy about it too much, so it didn't bother us... The lake is all we cared about!
- we were a family of 11, but was charged for extra people even though the listing says it sleeps 12? My fault for not contesting more, but doesn't seem right
It's a pricey listing, but seems to be what you can expect in this area with low rental inventory. In all, we had a pretty good stay and may be back!
