First Annual Family Fall Trip
Absolutely incredible home and location. You can feel the family spirit within the house. Had an amazing time with 3 generations of my family. We kayaked, fished and just took in the most spectacular views I’ve ever seen. Close to North Conway too for those that are looking for something in that area. Would 100% stay there again.

Well worth it
The ease of staying directly on the pond was well worth it. Plenty of kayaks, canoes and outdoor gear. House is dated but clean and extremely well stocked. We enjoyed our stay and hope to return next year!

Beautiful, spacious lake house
My friends and I had a great time at Sandy Bottom house. The home is as spacious as the photos make it seem - we had plenty of space for sleeping arrangements and hanging out in the great room/dining room. We went cross country skiing on the frozen lake and North Conway/ski locations are a 20-30 minute drive. Only complaint is lack of linens - do make sure to bring sheets/pillow cases and ALL towels (including hand towels and bath mats). Note you'll have to check in at the realestate office ~15 minutes from the home (but the house has a keyless entry so I hope they change this policy soon).

Sandy Bottom Beach House a hidden gem
The location was beautiful, the house was large and comfortable for large or small gatherings. Loved the family pictures on the walls that gave a sense of history of how special this house is. I could imagine children playing in the yard, riding bikes in the driveway, swimming, fishing, kayaking and just floating in the clean water. We had three days of rain, but the layout of the house made for good times playing cards, games, doing puzzles , pool, ping pong, and hanging out.
This house is perfect for a group of friends or extended family vacations

Nice, homey, comfortable
Very nice house, well stocked kitchen, nice Tv, comfy couch. Beds were a little small, but comfortable and plenty of them. Very close to N. Conway, easy to find. I was a little concerned that it was right next to a boat ramp, but it was very quiet. The main fireplace was great, there was lots of firewood), the upstairs fireplace had a sign 'do not use'. The grill is a Weber, there was extra gas, worked well.
