Top Cow Island Hotel Reviews

20 Mile Bay - Tuftonboro - Lake View Pet friendly $50 Fee - Limit 1

10/10 Excellent

"We had a lovely stay at this property. The description was accurate, the location was beautiful, check-in was simple, and the host was very helpful and communicative. The house was quite well stocked with dishes, etc. and had both a crib and pack-and-play for our two grandbabies."

Melvin Village - 5 Bed/3 Bath - Lake Winnipesaukee

10/10 Excellent

"Our group of friends stayed here for a wedding weekend, and this property completely exceeded our expectations. The house offered incredible space for everyone to spread out, relax, and catch up without feeling crowded. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by the size, location, and the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable, and the main living areas provided an ideal gathering spot for late-night chats and morning coffee before heading out to the wedding festivities. It served as the ultimate home base for a wedding celebration we won't soon forget, and we would gladly book another stay here in a heartbeat."

Waterfront House on Winnipesaukee w Private Dock , Sleeps 11 & Dogs Welcome!

10/10 Excellent

"This is a very comfortable ranch-style home right on the lake with its own dock. The host Chrystal was responsive, flexible, and easygoing, making for an excellent stay. This house really can comfortably sleep a large number of people and is perfect for a multigenerational family or two families traveling together. The new AC and heat also was an excellent feature! There's a smart TV so if you are a TV watcher, it's important to bring your device and/or logins."

Lake Winni Fall Getaway: Stunning Lake Views, Samoset Community Townhome

10/10 Excellent

"Lake Winni Getaway provided JUST the atmosphere we were looking for, inside and out. What a treasure! The condo was cozy, well adorned, the kitchen was well stocked and the sunroom and patio offered varied extensions to the outdoors. The lake views were soothing with complementing well maintained surrounding grounds. A treat of a getaway!"

Family Retreat on Lake Winnipesaukee

10/10 Excellent

"This was a great space for a family gathering, lots of room to spread around inside and out. The kitchen was well stocked, which made it nice to have to only bring essentials. The location was so beautiful, quiet and peaceful. Only thing I would suggest is maybe some updates to living room furniture and maybe a couple of kayaks or canoe to use. Checking in and out was simple with clear instructions. We really enjoyed our stay and made great memories."

Red Door Ranch 3 Bedroom, 2 Bath 1/2 mile to beach with lifeguard AC, WiFi,

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay was very nice and went above our expectations. The house is very nicely maintained and cleaned and the host was very respectful of our privacy and even checked in during our stay and fulfilled a minor request we had. I would absolutely stay here again in the future!"

Rest and relax in a private setting with plenty of space for family and friends

10/10 Excellent

"Our family had a wonderful vacation at this house. The size was wonderful for our group of 8 -- 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms that each have a shower, a big kitchen, a dining table with seating for 8 and pet friendly. Really met our needs well. The property has privacy and yet was only a 10 minute or so walk from the beach/swimming area, which was awesome. The hosts were great. Always very responsive, patient and informative in responding to my questions and requests for information. We highly recommend this house and host."
