Beautiful Vacation property

We loved our stay here. The views are gorgeous. The swimming area is perfect for both kids and adults. So many activities on the lake and close to wolfboro for ice cream etc. It was great having the separate cabins. We will definitely come back!

Two weeks Summer vacation

My wife, two sons and I had a wonderful, relaxing two week stay at Lapping Waters. The location is perfect and the house was very comfortable. Plenty of room for guests. Quiet and private, and the beach was just right to help cool down during the heat of the day. Fishing from the dock, and a boat trip to Wolfeboro for ice cream. It was a great stay. Great spot for families. The owner was a pleasure to deal with

A bit of everything!

We stayed at this home last year and will be visiting again this year. It is one of those comfortable homes that is a true Lake Winnipesaukee home. We were entertained by the decor and old time books. One downsfall is only one bathroom but it makes you have patience and slow down on your holiday. Owners are amazing a wrote a thank you note when they recieived our deposit.Comfortable but you don't feel like it is not lived in. With two docks and one connecting to a quiet sandy cove and the other on the main part of the lake it was perfect. Great fire pit! Level property for our daughter who uses a wheelchair. A small dock just far enough out to swim to and sun on. Close to Wolfeboro for some nighttime ice cream. Our new annual vacation spot!

About the host

Hosted by Elizabeth McCarter

This is a family owned property.

Why they chose this property

Lapping Waters has been in the family since 1922, with the original lake house burning down in 1960. The house was rebuilt as a one level ranch style cottage. Generations have grown up at Lapping Waters, with great memories, as it is truly one of the best locations on the lake.

What makes this property unique

Lapping Waters offers a private location on LW, yet is close enough to numerous attractions in Wolfeboro, Meredith, Portsmouth, Conway, NH and Portland , ME to take advantage of many outdoor activities, shopping and restaurants. Much to do and/or see, or simply relax lake side!
