Lovely location and overall property with amazing energy.

Walks in the woods, the well-stocked kitchen and great room. The property is just fabulous for our larger-sized group. Very best part were the sunrises 🌅

Excellent stay

Overall a great stay - had plenty of bedrooms, everything we needed for our stay, and was perfectly quirky. The place wasn't perfectly clean, but it was also tough for a place that big. Some of the light switches also didn't work, but those are minor quibbles, it was a great stay.

Lakeside Oasis

This property is a bit of paradise on Lake Webster. We have a large family with many small grandchildren. It is perfect for younger families that just want to relax and enjoy their time together. There is plenty of room so all are comfortable and happy too!

Fun Family Spot

This was the perfect spot for our retired siblings and spouses gathering. The living room with a fantastic view of the lake was big enough for all of us to gather comfortably. Each couple enjoyed lovely bedroom with private bath. Spacious kitchen with two refrigerators and a second dishwasher was a benefit for our family who all love to cook. We are already planning our next visit.

Great stay, slow Wifi

Property was lovely, super clean and nice, excellent amenities. Only downside is the WiFi was very slow, which was only a problem since we were on a work offsite and needed to do zoom meetings. For a vacation or leisure trip, this wouldn’t be a problem.

Webster Lake Paradise

Exceptional property. Hit the mark on everything we were looking for. We had a multi-generational family vacation that we all enjoyed immensely. Strolling Woods does not disappoint, pictures and description are 100% accurate. Webster Lake is the perfect spot to enjoy our water activities. Kuddos to the host !!!

Amazing NH Family Getaway

We went with a group of families and 5 kids under 2 yrs old. We had a great time exploring the property (Cannot stress how much land there is to explore), feeding the chickens, sitting by the lake and playing in front of the big screen in the movie theatre. At night the adults loved the game room, pool, ping pong, arcade games. Huge kitchen great for cooking family style meals, plenty of bedrooms and beds. Some were lofts with no way to close off sound from below though so something to keep in mind with young children in those.

Great House for Big Group

Overall, our stay at the house was pleasant. The location was great, and the cleanliness was satisfactory. We enjoyed the game room and home theater. Enough bedrooms for big group which is tough to find. However, we found the kitchen utensils to be outdated/lacking and the living room furniture could use an upgrade for added comfort. Hot water takes a while as house is big. Despite these minor issues, we enjoyed our time there and would consider staying again if improvements are made.

Great family reunion home!

The house is perfect for family reunions. A large living room/kitchen dining area where everyone can be together, but also quiet places for the introverts to escape to. TV theater was great on rainy days, and the lake was beautiful. We rented a boat, so having the boat house was so convenient. Fishing off the dock we caught bass and sunfish, about one every minute! Vacasa was very quick in addressing the few concerns we had on arrival. Property is great for a casual walk through the woods and fields. Franklin and area towns had shopping, ice cream shops, Hannefords and Super Walmart. I highly recommend this gem in the middle of New Hampshires Lake District.

Great Trip, Returning; Few Changes would be appreciated

Loved it. Great house for our family gathering, 3 generations, all adults. We made daily use of the lake, game room, theater room as well as the large kitchen and rest of the house. Laundry also convenient. Loved it and will be returning next year! Next time hope it's a bit cooler in the evenings so we can use the firepit at the top of the hill! Couple improvements would help significantly improve the experience include: 1) Please install remote blinds on the HUGE windows to keep the temp down in the living area - sun blasts in from early morning to around noon and makes it too hot to use the fantastic view (and windows are too high for all manual blinds) 2) put small trash cans in the bathrooms (we used most of them and lack of garbage cans for floss etc. was inconvenient). Overall great place and we're looking forward to returning next year.

Amazing home!!

My family and I stayed the weekend in this amazing home for a wedding. Home is on 700 acres and has a beach right across the road! Home was very clean and had plenty of towels for everyone. The game room gave us options as you can play pool, foosball, ping pong and space invaders! We were using all of the games! The theatre room was great and it felt like you were at an actual theatre with the surround sound. We streamed hockey and basketball playoff games along a boxing match and had no issues with the WiFi at all! We had around the max occupancy and the home felt like you could fit another 10 people. The hot water worked great with multiple people taking showers. Would definitely recommend this home to any large group! Will be renting this home again in the future!

Great house for a large group. No TV was challenge.

We loved the house for our extended family Thanksgiving. Large number of bedrooms and bathrooms. Game room and theater for the kids. Large Kitchen was perfect for preparing Thanksgiving dinner and great view of the lake. The one issue was that the Apple TV remote was missing and without this there wasn’t any access to streaming services and the house does not have any cable. Not having a working TV for football on Thanksgiving was disappointing. We texted with the local property manager and this has been a problem in the past as well. We tried using a computer with wifi but the bandwidth was limited with a large group all on wifi due to no cell service, so the games kept buffering. Other than that the house was perfect and very cozy. We loved the vinyl collection and record player especially.

Large family reunion. Mission accomplished.

We filled the house to capacity, and it did not disappoint. There were plenty of bedrooms, with on- or near-suite baths making the stay comfortable for young and mature families alike. The central kitchen and gathering area did its job extremely well, including a stunning view of the lake. We fished off the pier everyday (license acquired simply online, caught nothing but downtime). We golfed (spent most of the time looking for balls). We hiked the heck out of the property. Our mountain dog (ok, Bernedoodle) got his fill of roaming. We saw no bears, but most of us were OK with that. We had pool competitions, ping-pong competitions, foosball competitions. We are a competitive crew. Online pictures are true to form. The movie theatre is legit and was put to good use for movies and football. The house does have four heating zones, some of them serving a large volume, so there was some negotiation on the setpoints, but "no big thang" as the southern visitors would say.

Week at the lake

Overall the week went well. There were definitely pros and cons of this house. Here are the pros: Nice starter sort of paper towels, laundry detergent and dish soap Prosecco and maple syrup gift basket Soap/shampoo in each bath Nice kitchen Luv the movie theater Nice new dock @ beach Very nice float with chairs Kayaks and paddle boat were great. (Paddle boat could use a good scrub) Beautiful lake Beautiful view from house Very nice deck. The biggest area of improvement with this house is it really just needs a deep cleaning. There were cobwebs in the kitchen and workout room and you could see all the dust on the workout mat when the sun was shining in. The ping pong table had drink rings all over it - doesn’t like like it ever gets cleaned. The cleaning crew also left out a bunch of vacuums and brooms in the kitchen - I’m sure they have a home other than the kitchen corner. (The brooms were old and worn and need replacing.) The gazebo could also use a deep clean. We rent each year and this house was very expensive compared to what we’ve paid in past years. I would expect it to be sparkling clean. It looks like the cleaning crew gave it a quick once over. In fairness the management company they did volunteer to have the cleaners come back. We declined this option.
