Loved the view. Gourmet kitchen was great. The place was immaculate. Manger was very helpful. The beach was great but everything else was great . We are planning on going back for 40th anniversary in a few years

Beautiful vintage lake house with spectacular views! Our extended family of 14 stayed for a week and thoroughly enjoyed the house and the lake. The kitchen, porch and dining areas were great for a big family. We rented a big pontoon boat and kept it in the big boat house, making a trip to Wolfeboro and fishing on the lake. Be prepared for a somewhat strenuous walk down to and back up from the lake ( although you can drive around and down there). We swam and fished from the shoreline and boathouse docks and had a couple of evening fires in the lakeside fire pit. Great stay!!Robert is a great host and very thorough in his check-in process and walk through!

Had seven adults and two toddlers for a week. Although a lot of work has gone into the house be aware it is an older house. So accept creaky floors and window AC. There is a walk in shower on the third floor and a tub shower on both second floor bathrooms. The kitchen was fantastic for making our family dinner. Owner was very accommodating and responsive. Some windows were hard to open and shut. Some beds are against the wall so a partner may have to climb over another to exit the bed. Porch view and chairs were phenomenal. You will never tire of the view.

Spectacular lake front home with boathouse. The Lincoln Cottage was the most equipped kitchen ever, with awesome cooking stoves and a big refrigerator. The towels, dish towels and sheets were provided. Extra pillows were available for renters. The front porch was wonderful with a hammock, rocking chairs and an eating round table. Card playing was a must at night and the view was fabulous.

Fantastic place We had a fantastic stay at the lincoln cottage. The house was very comfortable, with the most incredible porch and view. Close to everthing too, from restaurants to shopping, to a great farmer's market we went to every day. We would definitely stay here again.

Unforgettable Views Beautiful classic older house with a Million dollar view. Robert the owner was a great host going over everything we need to know about staying in his home. The covered porch was great during a passing storm allowing us to stay dry while still being outside. The boathouse was a additional excellent feature where i was able to store my paddle boards & a pontoon boat that we rented for the week while we stayed there. I would highly recommend staying here.

A Great Place for a Large Family Gathering Our extended family of 13 enjoyed a truly excellent week at The Lincoln Cottage. We have rented many VRBO places in the US and Europe and this house is incomparably better equipped than any of them. The owner, Robert, met us upon arrival and gave us a very detailed tour of the house and its many amenities. The views from the expansive front porch are spectacular. And we loved the lake. It would be difficult to have a better VRBO experience on Lake Winnipesaukee.

Great location, lovely property Very nice, large home. Kitchen is fantastic! Location on the lake is great for fantastic views and the boat house is ideally situated to make docking a boat fairly easy. Owner was incredibly helpful as well and checked in over the two weeks via text to be sure we had everything we needed.
