Summer 2023

My family and I had a great time in Alton Bay. The property was very well maintained. The beach was gorgeous and great for little ones (we had a 5 year old). We took the kayaks and paddle boards out daily. Lots of room to spread out, we had a party of 12. Beautiful views of the lake from multiple rooms. I do wish it had laundry access, but otherwise it was perfect.

Lake winni boat week

Every year we go to winni with the kids as a family vacation. The house was great and the kids said several times it was the best yet. We were a big group and my only feedback was we couldn’t wash the towels to help the fantastic hosts because we didn’t have access to the washer and dryer . I would 100% go back year after year.

Birthday/New Year getaway

Awesome location and a beautiful home overlooking Alton Bay. We had so much fun playing games around the large kitchen table and ate amazing food we prepared in the very well stocked kitchen. Plenty of room for pool and ping pong in the basement and plenty of shopping close by for the ladies. The boys found safe ice not far for an afternoon of fishing and we are already planning another trip back! The hosts were amazing and provided us with a perfect getaway.
