About this property

Beautiful Log Cabin Overlooking Blaisdell Lake! Sleeps 12, Private Beach

Come and enjoy our beautiful log cabin on Blaisdell Lake! We have a bunk room for the kids, a sleeping loft, screened porch, and a private beach with kayaks, a canoe and a windsurfing rig! It is a very peaceful spot, but if you want to go hiking or shopping, New London is just minutes away! There is a huge dining room table for big family meals and the kitchen and dining room are all open to the living room. A great place for a family get together!

A fabulous vacation
Such a perfect camp for our family. Plenty of room inside and out. The lake water was clean and warm.

Retained Damage Deposit
We enjoyed our week-long family reunion (July, 2022) at this wonderful property on Lake Blaisdell. The area is beautiful, the lake is clean, we enjoyed the plentiful boats, and the comfy common areas. It has some pros-cons that savvy guests should anticipate. My family was charged the damage deposit. Pros: 1. Very responsive host, left candies for the kids on arrival, which was a very appreciated first impression. 2. Large common space areas 3. Large modern grill on the balcony. 4. Paddle boards and kayaks available for use. 5. The house is set away from the lake up a short hill, which we considered a plus, as it is much quieter than properties directly on the water (loons can be loud, so can the occasional power boats). 6. The bunk room is perfect for four kids (two bunk beds) as it is set off on one end of the house away from the living room. Cons: 1. One bathroom. Not a big problem. 2. There is an impressive antique stove setup, but my sister ended up singeing a small section of the adjacent countertop because the temperature and flame was difficult to regulate. This was a cause for our damage deposit to be retained, a justification we disagree with. 3. There are knick-knacks on every shelf in every corner, everywhere. The decor is beautiful and charming to look at, but impractical for renters especially with children, as you may get charged if you move anything. We had four young children who immediately dove into the boardgames and the bags of legos and other toys (who wouldn't?!). It took us parents 3 hours the evening before, and 4 hours on check-out day to find and clean everything, but the host still charged us for extra cleaning services. The charge is significant, and made us feel like we could have better used those seven hours of our vacation. But our family really takes pride in cleaning up: We had every single plate and cup cleaned, every sheet and towel down at the laundry station, every floor swept and vacuumed, every kid's toy back in its original basket or box in its original room, all the lake side boats and life vests organized, all trash and recycling collected, bagged, and deposited in bins... I mean, one really needs to prepare for a major cleaning effort, and even then, it might not be enough for this owner. The owner will no doubt offer a long list of damaged property to justify retaining the deposit... it's up to renters to decide if the risk is worth it.

Summertime Staple!
This was our 3rd year staying this property, it’s perfect for a large group! We always have fun swimming the the beautiful lake, using all the provided water sport equipment, grilling and roasting marshmallows at the fire pit! Secluded location, and a very fun neighborhood!

A gem in the woods
A wonderful private spot! The lake and all water amenities was more than we could’ve expected for being such a rustic, out-of-the-way location. Although the path to the lake is steep, it added to the genuine experience. The house itself has a story all in its own. No AC, but that would’ve been a modern drawback to such a unique historical place. We all just loved it! Already talking about returning!

About the host

Hosted by owner/property manager

Host profile image
I purchased this house while I was living abroad in the UK. I'm from New England originally and I wanted my 2 sons to spend their summers here with their cousins. My sister found the house, called me from the gas station on Route 103 and I purchased it -sight unseen. It was once a girls' camp in the 1930's-the historic artifacts and photos really resonated with me and I moved here in 2002 to raise my sons. We bought the adjoining property which was once the dining hall, and I renovated and re-built it using a similar footprint and style. I have lived in this area for nearly 20 years and love the peaceful lake, the quiet, and the sound of the loons calling to each other.

Why they chose this property

It was(is) my dream property-skiing at Mt. Sunapee in the winter and swimming and enjoying the beach all summer!
