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!
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.
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.
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.
Great spacious location for my party of 12
The host walked us through everything thoroughly which we appreciated with such a big space
So much to do nearby
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.
Really enjoyed our stay for a long weekend with a group of friends. The house is comfortable with an amazing kitchen. Views are incredible from the main deck and the 3rd floor. Definitely would rent again!
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.
Very welcoming owner who met us at the property to give us a tour. We had a girls trip and there was enough space for all of us comfortably. The entire 3rd floor was equipped with a pool table, games, bar set, bed and bathroom which was perfect for those who like to stay up late. The chefs kitchen was gorgeous and was the center of activities. The deck was also to die for. A must stay!
This is a really fascinating and lovely property.
Large rooms, comfortable beds and a phenomenal view over the lake from the porch. We were treated to grandstand seats for TWO boat races.
We easily cooked for and seated a group of 8 adults for all our meals. And we could have probably handled twice that number in th well equipped kitchen.
We had a great week!
We have a large extended family who all traveled up for our daughterâs wedding. This place provided an excellent spot to see and enjoy the lake. The history of the home and the beautiful restoration had us all in awe.
Even in the ran, we enjoyed sitting on the porch watching the storm.
Thank you for letting us stay!
The view and sunrise from Lincoln Cottage over the lake are unimaginable. There is easy access to swim, an extremely stocked kitchen and plenty of linens for large groups. The owner is fantastic to deal with and makes sure your stay is perfect!
The property has the best view on the lake. The boat house is amazing and convenient. The game room is better than most resorts. The deck is serenity as you watch the boats cruise by while seeing Mt Washington peak in the distance. Visitors will be amazed as they navigate the historic mansion. Well maintained and meticulously cared for by the host. Lake life at its best!
We stayed at Robert's property on lake Winnipesaukee for a week in July. It was really beautiful / relaxing. Robert had lots kitchen facilities, great for cooking for our large group.
Classic old school lake house with all the amenities you could ask for
Just a great place across the board. Music room with instruments, pool table 10 -12 burner stove porch overlooking lake, killer fireplace I could go on and on....!!
We stayed here with three other families for our annual ski trip. The home provided plenty of space and access to activities that kept everyone happy. The house is beautiful and the view of the lake and the mountains is spectacular. Robert was very helpful and available to answer questions and attend to any of our needs. I highly recommend this stay!!!
This property is a well kept secret. The original home was built in 1897 as a Grand Victorian Cottage by AV Lincoln, the largest property owner in Charlestown,MA which was at the time the epicenter of Boston. Mr. Lincoln was the real-estate consultant for the railroad, which was booming at the time. Mr Lincoln sighted the home perfectly in such a way that it always is sunlit with the undisputed best view of Lake Winnipesaukee and the Ossipee mountains found anywhere.
Every day is beautiful from The Lincoln Cottage, rain or shine. Watching a weather event from here is alost as good as a sunny day. Everything you need for a home away from home is here at the Lincoln Cottage.
