Welcome to Strolling Woods on the enchanting Lake Shore Drive on Webster Lake! Step into a world of comfort and luxury with our delightful 7,200 sq. ft., Adirondack-style deck house nestled on the shores of Lake Webster in Franklin. Boasting a warm ambience, this unique property invites you to immerse yourself in its charms.

Embark on scenic walks through 750 private acres of wildlife-filled trails or enjoy a bike ride into town. Fitness enthusiasts can use the full gym, which includes a new Life Fitness cable crossover machine, bench press, dumbbells, incline/decline treadmill, rower, and elliptical machine. Entertain guests in the oversized granite kitchen, additional sunroom, or game room equipped with a pool table, Ping-Pong, foosball, and classic Pac-Man and Galaga machines.

Kids will love the chickens on the property—you can help yourself to fresh eggs from inside the chicken hutch. If apples are in season, there are unlimited pick-your-own apples in the field!

Unwind in the state-of-the-art 24-seat movie theater with stadium seating. A short stroll across a residential road will lead you to 150 feet of sandy beach featuring a screened gazebo and a private boat house with a dock and boat garage.

Inside, enjoy the wet bar, central air-conditioning, three gas fireplaces, and sunroom while taking in breathtaking water views. Feel free to explore the surroundings with bicycles, kayaks, and fishing gear, which are freely available. Take advantage of the convenient boat ramp on the lake, tie up your ski or fishing boat to the private dock, or revel in the backyard's private pond with a brook and a nostalgic 9-hole golf course.

Though the golf course is no longer regularly maintained, it is mowed sporadically, and its tees and greens remain recognizable for those seeking a hearty golfing adventure. Delight in the abundant fishing opportunities on the most heavily stocked lake in all of NH, or savor the tranquility of Webster Lake, free from the heavy boat traffic of larger lakes in the area.

3 out of the 4 lower-level bedroom are designed with their own bathrooms, offering ample privacy. Two main suites and two loft-style bedrooms provide additional comfort and space. Pamper yourself in the oversized soaking tub with lake views in the lower-level main bedroom, or enjoy the dual sinks and two-headed shower in the upstairs main bedroom.

Our dog-friendly haven offers luxurious comforts and a touch of history, with remnants of old barns, blacksmith shops, and carriage roads.

This unique home is not just a getaway but a venue for large family vacations, special events, retreats, and more! Come experience the magic of Lake Shore Drive on Webster Lake – where comfort, history, and luxury converge.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Fun filled week rain or shine

Very unique grounds and house. Lots of bedrooms and bathrooms on all 3 levels. The gym was used daily by some and the billiards ping pong and movie theatre were great to have. Corn hole boards and horseshoes for outdoor fun. We collected eggs from chicken coop and enjoyed s’mores at the fire pit. The beach was great with kayaks and a peddle boat. All the kids swam out to the raft daily. The gazebo on the water is comfy and screened. When there were issues the management team responded. We appreciated the Weber outdoor grills and the second refrigerator. A great time was had by all ages 1 to 78. We would definitely come again.

Great property for team building!

Nine of us (leadership team) stayed together for 3 nights for corporate strategy work and team building. The house is wonderful - great kitchen/dining/living room layout. Comfortable private rooms/spaces for all. Beautiful views and property. Only slight challenge was internet bandwidth (they had two wifi options) but perhaps understandable when many of us needed it at the same time. The property managers were very helpful/responsive (we had one minor problem with check-in that was immediately addressed). Overall, I would highly recommend - we all agreed we'd love to come back!

Great choice for a large group

Overall a great choice for larger groups. We had 5 couples, a few single adults and 5 kids fit comfortably. Having the beach and dock across the street, a chicken coop on-site and a fire pit a short walk from the house was great. The only complaints I would have is that the home had a few rooms not as well cleaned, a shortage of towels/paper towels/TP, a few of the beds were very creaky or had loose boards, and the instructions for the wifi / theater were totally incorrect. Apart from those few small issues, we had a great time and would consider returning next year.

Plenty of space for 16 adults to sleep, cook & play outside in the yard and on the lake

Check in was very easy. Everything that was needed in the kitchen, second fridge made it easier for food storage. Plenty of beds, bathrooms and space for 16 adults. The indoor and outdoor space was perfect. The trails out back, the seating area on the hill as well as the fresh eggs were a bonus. A very memorable time for our family to celebrate my mother’s 80th birthday. Would definitely recommend this property for larger groups.

An idyllic summer week with our family.

The house, the location, the property, and the gorgeous lake just across a quiet street, made our family reunion 50th Anniversary celebration perfect in every way. The house is absolutely beautiful and easily fit all 21 of us. We hiked, swam & kayaked, roasted marshmallows, played soccer and volleyball on the huge lawn, biked around the lake and on the rail trail, exercised in the gym, and fell in love with the chickens. We didn’t want to leave.
