Looking for a lake rental

clifford45 · 11-22-2016, 11:05 AM

I am arranging a family reunion for july or early august this summer. It would be 5 families consisting of 10 adults and 15 kids (2-14yoa). We would like to be on the water for a week. Our budget is $10000 for the rental. We would be happy with either mainland or island properties. Anyone have a suggestion?

Oliver Lodge has a great website and looks like something that could accommodate your group.

Thanks, i checked them out. Looks like a great place but a bit out of our range.

Another thought is Ames Farm Inn ? But that is a lot of cottages "In Season".

I can all but rule out Abakee Cottages (another great location) due to your timeframe ... if it were after Labor Day, Abakee would be another good choice

$2000 a day but split 5 ways seems like a bargain

This is the first place that came to my mind as well. Do not forget the $650 for cleaning.

Lots to do, for all ages. Probably no smoking or electronics. You won't be able to spend anywhere close to $10,000, and food is included, cooked and served by "the croo".

They are on Rust Pond in Wolfeboro. Six cabins on 6 acres with private beach. Plenty of open space and a great rec hall for large gatherings.

It may be easier to rent multiple houses in close proximity to each other in a water access association, too. There are certainly a lot of houses for rent in places like Suissevale, Balmoral, Far Echo Harbor Club, etc.

There are several of these small cottages plus a large house for rent. Nice spot, great beach, and boat dock
