Lakefront cottage with deck, patio, firepit, AC & W/D - secluded location

Maggie's Lakeside Cottage

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Welcome to your family-friendly waterfront vacation rental, with everything you need for the ultimate lakeside retreat! Nestled onto 100 feet of pristine Pine River Pond shoreline in a secluded cove, this newly renovated house is perfect for kayaking, canoeing, fishing, hiking, water skiing, swimming, grilling, or just chilling out by the water. With a comfortably furnished patio and deck, private dock, and beautiful sunrise and sunset views right from home, you may not get far - but when you want to explore, Wolfeboro is around 16 miles away and offers lots of restaurants, shopping, and sightseeing. The lakes region also abounds in hiking trails, farmer’s markets, festivals, and activities happening on any given summer weekend.

At home, start the day with coffee on your deck, listening to the loons on the water - you may even be lucky enough to see them in the cove. Inside, you’ll find a cozy cabin vibe, with hardwood floors, pine-paneled walls, and an open layout. The full, well-equipped kitchen makes meal prep easy, and you can grab a bite together at the dining room table. Even better - step outside and dine alfresco on the deck. After a day of exploring, relax at home in the central AC. Entertainment options include books, board games, free high-speed WiFi, an iPod docking station, a DVD player, and large movie library. End the evening back outside by the lake, roasting marshmallows around the fire pit, with wood thoughtfully provided. Lake life awaits - all that’s left to do is book!

Profit over people
I rented this as a getaway for my wife who has been under tremendous stress. We were hit by a guy who ran a red light & fled the scene as we got off ferry. My wife melted down & wanted to go home. Reached out next morning, related events & asked if they would consider a partial refund-3 second got a response that we should have paid more for insurance. So they got almost full payment for nothing. I think the lack of even considering the request is most abhorrent. I understand “policy” & profits, but it would have been a human gesture to refund anything. Will totally avoid in the future & suggest others be careful.

Just okay
House is placed perfectly with beautiful views. Unfortunately if the weather isn’t cooperative there is nothing to do locally. We drove 35 minutes to Lake Winnepesaukee one day which was cool. The next day we drove an hour to North Conway for the day. We quickly realized we should have just stayed at either lake Winne or north Conway. We could still stay on a lake and if weather was bad we would have plenty of other things to do all around us. The house wasn’t super clean. The sofas are old, pleather is wearing off, and they’re incredibly uncomfortable as there was not much cushion left. Heavy dust and cobwebs throughout. Dirt and stain on broken blinds. Cabin give a dark and dank vibe verses bright an airy (so much wood on every surface). Upstairs carpets are extremely dirty. Beds covered in stained linens that don’t fit and seem like someone’s hand me downs. Heavy heavy dust on fan cages over the beds. Towels were extremely small and felt like sandpaper. Listing stated a blow dryer would be available, there was no blow dryer. Fishbowl effect at night as there was not blinds on all the windows. Outdoor furniture is old and not cleaned. Only a little stairway into the water if you don’t want to jump off the dock. Family’s with little ones don’t have a beach area or shallow water to let your babe play in. The house could be amazing, however I feel the hosts rely solely on views and waterfront location for ratings. It was an underwhelming experience.

A little slice of heaven
This cabin is lovely for one or for a romantic escape. I arrived in pre-Memorial Day May when the pond was quiet and I saw very few folks nearby. The cabin is nicely modernized, with a great kitchen setup for cooking, a new bathroom and plenty of heat and air conditioning. The view of the pond is perfect from inside and from the lovely deck. The washer/dryer are clean and new (just duck down to the lower level - easy). Great "couchage" (the linear feet of comfortable couch space -- a key criteria my family uses when selecting a place to rend). A canoe would have made my visit perfect - I'll do that next time! The Internet service was sufficient for streaming and my other needs. The steps to the sleeping areas is very steep, so not good for anyone unsteady on their feet. Cell signal is not great. The Vacasa staff was very helpful when I needed them -- fast and responsive. The other cabin mentioned in another review is up the bank, but far enough away for privacy. Renting both cabins would be great for a family reunion. It is easy to get to Wolfeboro and Ossipee. Not far off the main drag through Wakefield. Things to wish for: ** a hook or two on the back if the bathroom door for hanging dressing gown etc. ** fix of the shower valve (thing you turn to adjust shower temperature) so the shower temperature is more reliable -- Vacasa came out and adjusted the shower but the valve really needs replacement -- someone from Vacasa should attempt to take a shower :)

Relaxing stay with spectacular views!!
What a wonderful week! Perfect size for our family and perfect location for what we wanted—lakefront relaxation, water fun on a clean, clear lake and close by to hiking, restaurants and North Conway adventure! We would have never known about the beauty of Pine River Pond had we not stayed here. Will be watching for available property in this area!! Loved it. Thank you.

Well appointed, perfect vacation spot!
This home on Pine River Pond was absolutely phenomenal! We had access to a boat dock for our bass boat and kayaks which was perfect. The home is incredibly clean and well appointed with good sized bedrooms, a wonderful living area, gas grill and a lovely deck. While we brought water toys, chairs, linens, games, etc. we did not need to, this home has everything! Excellent heating/cooling system and wifi - a perfect vacation place!

Anniversary Stay
My wife and I stayed here with our two dogs for the week for an anniversary get away. It had an amazing view of the lake and had everything we needed. Only about 20 minutes away from stores and restaurants and we were pleasantly surprised by how clean it was upon check in. Would definitely come here again.

Everything about this place was amazing. The pictures of the pond do not do it justice. The cabin was immaculate. We had incredible weather and caught many bass right off the dock. There are some neighbors close by but it was really quiet. I can't recommend this place enough.

Beautiful view of the pond and dock for easy access!
My friends and I had a fishing trip and we LOVED this property. Immediately walking out to the back deck, it was known it would be a great weekend. The view is beautiful and it was a fun pond to explore and fish. Easy access with a dock to fish/boat. Rented a boat locally to cruise around. House is minimal (beds/couches) but we didn't spend much time inside...mainly on the deck and on the water. Would 10/10 recommend.

The cabin is stocked and very clean, lovely view across the lake. Beautifully furnished, the lake itself was perfect for swimming. Not too many restaurants or grocery stores in the area so best if you are looking to unplug and hang out at the cabin.

A FAMILY BLESSING
We just left this home today and already wish we could return. The home is small but perfectly appointed. The entire house was so very clean and they thought of the visitor's every need. The beds were comfy and the bedrooms were so clean, we were immediately comfortable. I had spent many summers on PRP as a kiddo, and returning was so good for my blood pressure! The lake remains unspoiled, and this protected little cove felt cosy and special. I highly recommend a visit! Thank you for the hospitality!

Quiet neighbors during the week, clean property and house. Well equipped, with nice deck and great views of lake. Our only complaint is the Nest thermostat was odd to use, and A/C blower fan is loud. But, we had A/C on the hot nights, so not too much of a complaint! Great stay, highly recommended.

The perfect getaway!
My wife and I and our Labrador Retriever stayed for the 2019 July Forth week. The home is very comfortable and located right on the water’s edge with easy access to a sandy beach area and clear water lake. The house was super clean when we arrived and we felt comfortable as soon as we walked in. The week we stayed was very hot so perfect for enjoying the lake by day then relaxing at night with the central AC running and watching Netflix on one of the large screen TV’s. We spent most of the week fishing and exploring the lake by kayak. One thing that really caught our attention is how light the boat traffic is on the lake. We were sitting on the deck on the 4th of July ~3:00pm and all we could see were two pontoon boats. We’re pretty avid fishermen/women and the bass fishing on this lake is some of the best we’ve seen. The location is perfect with lots of dinning, hiking and shopping options close by. For the past ~8 years we have rented lake front homes once or twice a summer in locations in Maine & NH and this one is our favorite. We have never booked the same place twice but we’re already looking forward to returning to this property on Pine River Pond next summer.

Perfect little cabin in the woods. My family loved the view and peace and quiet.
This cabin is just as advertised...clean, quiet, and with a lakeside view. My kids loved the couches and TV'S and the adults appreciated the comfortable beds and clean/cozy linens. I brought my own linens but went with what was provided since everything was well prepared. This is a great place to relax and enjoy the view!

Cozy cabin directly on the water
We had a great time at this well-kept cabin on Pine River Pond. It was our first visit and we immediately felt comfortable and at home. Very clean and well-laid out. I don't believe you could be any closer to the water. When sitting on the deck, it feels as if you are out over the pond. It was also very quiet which was probably partially due to the time of year we were there. Although there are a few neighboring cabins, no one was at home. All in all a very peaceful few days in a cozy cabin on a lovely pond. Just perfect!

Beautiful, well-supplied, well-furnished, quiet and lovely house
I spent the last two weeks of September here with my husband and another couple, and it couldn't have been better. The lake may get busy in summer but in late September it was extremely quiet during the week, and there were only a moderate number of boats and water-skiers on weekends. An eagle hangs out on a tree in the island, just across from the cottage. There are nearly unlimited options for hiking in the region if you're willing to drive a bit, and we had outstanding meals at the Wakefield Inn, the Restaurant at Province Lake, Yankee Smokehouse, and Hobbs Tavern. The cottage is beautifully furnished, and clean, and better supplied than any house I've ever rented. The lake is perfectly clean and very good for swimming. The best part was being able to bring my yellow lab. I highly recommend this place!
