My family and I stayed here over Columbus Day weekend we were happy that we chose this place. To be honest other reviews were discouraging and I was honestly nervous about our trip. Happily all my nerves went away when we walked into our little cabin. It was so cute and clean we had a fridge stove sink bathroom it was amazing. It was perfect for my family of 3 plus our furry family member. We were provided with pots pans utensils a toaster it was perfect. The only thing that I would critique is the beds, if you go bring some extra cushion with either a comforter or a sleeping bag etc. The property was beautiful  and we can’t wait to back during the summer to see what else they have to offer.

Perfect Family Getaway

This place is an actual dump, word is last season before the bulldozer and it looks like it
Very unkempt grounds and cottages are ready to collapse, and oh , the slip rentals is  an absolute shift show. Not sure how the owners turned this gold mine into an actual slum but they managed,  unfortunately only place left to rent a place on winnasquam with lake access, so sad

Rathole

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY! LIke the others before me said, this was the WORST! The property was listed as "rustic". That's what we were hoping for....HAH! Our "cabin" was nothing short of a run-down shack with no curtains on the windows, rotted out wood floors, electrical wiring stapled to the walls and grass/weeds that were over a foot tall. The common lawn was filled with garbage and junk. We arrived late at night and checked out at sunup...only to be called by the GM Matthew who is now refusing to refund the remainder of our stay. This property should not be listed as inhabitable by any human at this point....it's a tear-down.
I've now contacted BBB, county code enforcement, and will absolutely get the local news consumer advocate involved to prevent the property from stealing anyone else's hard-earned cash.

Just say NO!  Triple D-Deceptive, Dishonest, Disgusting

This was the worst experience of my life the people that run have no respect for there gest they made us leave a day early because we were upset about not having any towels in the pace we booked it for 11 people paid 1100 dollars it had under wear under the sink from the last gest they came and got that at 930 at night the refrigerator went out went we were gone and they said it was r fault and we had to leave because we were complaining to much

Dump

This "cabin" absolutely appalled me. The outside of the cabin is so run down. The door, porch, and screen door all had chipped disgusting looking paint. The door could barely lock, and even when it was "locked" it was definitely not very secure. When first walking in the cabin looked somewhat okay, but quickly we noticed many problems. First the bathroom has a rusted sink, horrible water pressure, the toilet won't flush, and the bathroom itself is absolutely tiny. The place was filled with  cobwebs and very very dim lighting, not even enough for one person reading.  The dishes in the cabinet were filthy.  The cabin floors have dirt and grime all over them. It is honestly revolting seeing all the dirt on your socks from the floors.  There were warnings all over the cabin that if you left dirty dishes you would be fined!  Hysterical since THEY had left filthy dishes.  When we opened up the sofa bed, mouse feces poured out of the mattress.  We then discovered piles of mouse feces behind the sofa.  The mattress itself was filthy and stained and hadn't been cleaned in God knows how long.  It was a health hazard. We went to the office to address the problem, and the employee had absolutely no concern for us and said he couldn't do anything but the management would respond to us that evening.  We were told they had no extra space, no cots, and no extra mattresses.  This was even though every single cabin around was dark and there were no cars at all all night long.  We waited all evening with no response from the management. All three of us had to sleep in the double bed because no one was going to sleep on that mattress covered with mouse feces & who knows what else.  The next day we were told at check out that we would be refunded half of our stay which had been our request via email.  Later in the day, after we had returned home, we received an email stating we would be receiving only $150 off, which was a refund of a $50 charge for EXTRA TOWELS and the $100 charge for our dog!!  So not only is this place a complete dump but even worse, these people are complete LIARS and are running a total GRIFT. 

WOULD NOT RECOMMEND. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY OR YOUR HEALTH.

Deceptive & filthy business - stay away

This place is perfect. Absolutely 100% going back.

But let's make sure it's what you're looking for.  It's a lake camp, not a traditional hotel. 

The cabins are "rustic". They are shabby. There is peeling paint, and a single cooking pot, and old linoleum. We are lucky there are linens and towels, as many similar lake cabin places expect you to bring your own. And there is a wonderful kind of freedom going in and out with dirty feet, hanging up our dripping towels, having sand fly out of our clothes, playing with the kids and the dogs, and grilling up our burgers, without worrying too much about muddying a nice hotel room or smudging the furniture. 

The playground is old, and has the type of old metal slide and monkey bars I remember from my childhood. My kids had never seen playground equipment like this, and they LOVED it. After the first couple times wiping out in the dirt at the bottom of the old metal slide, they got the hang of it and nobody broke anything.

The reviews here are so polarized. Some people are expecting a different experience. Think about what you're looking for. 

We loved it because it's no-frills. It's family time long after dark. It's a line of sandy swimsuits hung out on a string. It's skipping the shower before bed because you're getting dirty in the morning anyway. It's going barefoot and sand in your swimsuit and staying at the playground until dark.  It's a big hill to roll down, a rock to jump off, a canoe to fall out of, a wobbly lantern shining through an open window onto the screen porch, dimly illuminating our neverending ice cream and board games until midnight.  

It's an old cabin held together by whatever love you bring to it. 

Five stars.

It's PERFECT if your expectations are right

We return to the Anchorage at the Lake every Labor Day Weekend, and every year the hospitality does not fail! The views from the grounds are breathtaking...this is truly a special piece of property. The cabins are comfortable and the new management has recently put in time to renovate and care for them, the effort is noticed. We love our annual stay here always, highly recommend!

A great escape

Enjoyed a mid-week getaway in a lakeside cabin on this beautiful 35 acre property. Our cabin had a picnic table, charcoal grill and fire pit right outside our screened in porch.

We had the use of canoes and kayaks at no charge. Paddles, oars and life jackets are supplied. They also offer a water trampoline and slide. Monday night movies on the lawn. 

The staff is very accommodating to make your stay a pleasant one. 

I came for rest and relaxation and I wasn’t disappointed! Can’t wait to come back next year.

Lakeside Tranquility

We have family in Laconia, so we decided to take a trip to New Hampshire from Massachusetts for a few days to see the mountains, take our kids to do something fun and see family all wrapped into one. When we heard about Anchorage at the Lake, we had to check it out. I did plenty of research ahead of time and it looked beautiful, so we booked our family for 4 nights. 

I first want to mention, regardless of our cabin experience, the management onsite was absolutely wonderful. They were attentive, answered any questions we may have had and really tried to make our stay the best possible for ourselves and our children. They went above and beyond for our children and gave them their first ever campfire and s'more experience as well as their own little outside movie night. If you were to ask them, this really made their trip right there.

The view from our cabin was absolutely beautiful. I loved waking up to the mountains across the lake and seeing such a wonderful view that we don't see often as we are out-of-state. Our children loved swimming in the lake and enjoying the view from the water as well. 

When it came to the cabin, it looked as if it was well maintained. We were given fresh linens and clean towels, with the option to request more if needed at any time. Unfortunately, the cabin appliances and bed frames are the reason I gave this review a 3 star opposed to a 5 star rating. The appliances, such as the toaster and coffee maker, need to be replaced as the toaster kept sparking and would not work. As for the bed frames, these need to be replaced and replaced soon because not just one or two of us, but three of the five of us (one of which was pregnant), tripped on the same bed frame. Myself (who's pregnant) tripped first and cut my toe open, my 5 year old daughter tripped and sliced her foot and my 16 month old son tripped on the bed frame and wacked his face right on the corner, which caused a nasty bruise. These occurrences were all on the same bed frame and same corner. It was very dangerous for myself and my young children. 

Overall, our experience was a good one. We loved it here and we wouldn't mind returning next summer with our family, which will be a family of 6 at that point. But to whoever takes care of the appliances and bed frames, please replace them as they are dangerous, especially with young children.

Beautiful View, Wonderful Management, Safety Concern!

We were in Laconia and needed somewhere for 9 people to sleep. We were happy to find this spot on a lovely lakeside spot. We were beyond disappointed at how filthy the place was. The whole apartment stank of mildew, there was dirt from previous residents food in the house, the floors had holes and were covered in grime and there was not one trash can in the whole place. 
And they charged us nearly $400 for one night---check out at 9 am with no exception so we could not even enjoy the lake before being kicked out. I provided this feedback to the management there twice --when we left and then by email--but received no response. Honestly, the price we paid is highway robbery.
