Late Summer Stay at Balmoral Estates on Lake Winnipesaukee.

We had a great time staying at Balmoral Estates. House was clean with all the supplies we needed. Beach was really pretty and only a .3 mile walk. People were very friendly. the Host went out her way. I had mentioned that we were celebrating my sister's birthday. Host left balloons and a bottle of champagne on the counter for us to celebrate. I highly recommend this property especially for kids and dogs. Beautiful setting and very much geared to families and pets. We would definitely stay here. again. -J. Ciccone

Great location and hosts!

Laurie was so welcoming and helpful with booking. The house was fully loaded with everything you might need for a beach day. The kids had a blast and loved having their own space in the “game room”. We will definitely be back!

Awesome Place and Fantastic Owner

My now wife and I stayed at Laurie’s property for our wedding up the street at castle in the clouds. The house was so nice the pictures do not do it justice in my opinion! Much bigger than I thought. On top of that Laurie left us a bottle of champagne as a celebratory gift and a greeting. She was very helpful with some of her devices like the Apple TV which we were not used to working and answered very quickly and efficiently. 5/5 would recommend to anyone.

Perfect family vacation spot!

We had such a great time! The house was amazing- so much so that the kids didn’t want to leave the house. It had everything we needed. From high chair to beach chairs. We would definitely come back. We enjoyed the lake and the neighborhood and the neighbors too. Laurie was always quick to respond to my questions and a wonderful host. Thank you so much! We made great memories.

Great house and good value!

We had a great time and will likely stay here again! The house was extremely clean and it was an excellent set-up for the adults and kids. The private beach was just a short walk and thoroughly enjoyable. Also, just a half hour drive to Weir's Beach. Not many restaurants open monday through wednesday, so early week dining options are limited in the area. Nothing the owner can do about that. I highly recommend this property and my kids do as well!

Great family vacation spot

This property had everything we needed. Plenty of room for two families and awesome for families with little ones. Laurie has thought of everything from gift basket of s’mores to games for the kids! It was just a short walk to the beach and not a far drive to Meredith. The property was clean and we would definitely stay again!!

Fun Family Vacation

We had a wonderful time staying here. The house was close enough to the beach and Lakes Region attractions. We are an active family and like to walk. The neighborhood had many quiet side streets perfect for walking. Castle in the Clouds is near by and offers a beautiful waterfall hike and it is free with plenty of parking (the castle is beautiful but there is a charge to tour it) We brought a Bayliner and the boat launch was perfect and the beach is quiet and beautiful. Lovely place. We had a great time.

Wonderful experience!

My husband, daughter and I stayed here for our first getaway as a family of 3, and we had a great time! Laurie was so accommodating and provided all necessary baby-related gear so we wouldn’t have to lug ours from home. The house was spacious, clean, and felt like a home. We highly recommend this property!

Crummy Weather Wonderful House

We came up for the 4th of July and the weather just didn't cooperate, but even with crummy weather the house itself was great. The beds were comfy, the kitchen great, and the fireplace got used extensively (IN THE MIDDLE OF JULY!). The host even left us sparklers and smores ingredients for our festivities. We didn't get to use the beach much but the time we did it was great (a bit of a walk) and we did put our boat in the water. The ramp can get crowded and it's a single ramp where residents take their time putting in (not the house owner's fault) and you can't park your car/trailer at the ramp so you are forced to drive back to the house or clubhouse and park and walk back down (again, no fault of the host). She even let us borrow her beach chairs, paddle boat, and life jackets. It was a great weekend even though the weather was crummy as could be.

Excellent family beach destination!

We had a wonderful time staying at this home. It’s well stocked with everything needed for kids of all ages and plenty of beach supplies! My kids loved having a nightly family air hockey tournament! It’s in a beautiful location, a short drive or walk to a private beach that wasn’t crowded our whole stay. The kitchen is well stocked with supplies, there’s a lovely outdoor patio space and the beds are comfortable. Would definitely come back for another stay!
