You could start with the cost of 6 bedrooms at the Wolfeboro Inn and then back off a tad from that because you will not be doing daily housekeeping.

However, before you leap into renting for one week you should consider the following.
1. Is the place 100% sanitized? Meaning are all of the personal items that you and the rest of the family leave around every year safely put away behind securely locked doors?
2. How will you screen the renter to insure they will not trash the place, bring more people than the property is supposed to hold. What deposit will you charge? where will you find the renter? Rental agents can handle all of this for a fee.

You will need to provide free wi fi and large TV screens.

Who will do the cleaning before and after the rental if you as you say will not be in the area for July. Leave it for another family member and you may not be a member of the family any longer.

You should make a video of the place before rental and then again after the renter leaves (immediately before and after) for any damages. Someone will have to check-in the renter and get them to agree to how the place looks on the first entry and then again when they leave so they get back their damage deposit.

Just a few items to cover, plus you will need at least $1 million in liability insurance (two is better) to cover any injuries the renters may incur on the property or on the lake (Being on the lake presupposes that you are offering a 100% safe space for the renters under the liability laws).
So do enjoy the rental income and peace of mind that the renters have not loaded all your furniture up in the dead of night and then set fire to the place.
