Charming and spacious lakefront home w/hot tub and pool table!

From the stunning view of Baxter lake through the wall of windows in the inviting lake room to the large deck directly on the waterfront, Grandview Gambrel manifests beauty and relaxation. Nothing beats the scenic natural location and direct access to the lake, with kayaks, canoe, pedal boat, sandy beach, and boat launch and docking all on site!

For a true lakeside experience, gather on the deck abutting the water for an evening cookout, or relax around the table top fire pit and savor the lake view . The rustic screened in patio boasts a large four-person hot tub and ample seating, creating the perfect opportunity to relax and socialize while enjoying the lake breeze. In the adjoining rec room, the pool table, bar area, dual TV's, karaoke machine, and comfortable seating area allow for gaming and exciting group gatherings. The well-equipped kitchen sports granite, high-end appliances and double ovens for the chefs in the house, with plenty of cookware, dishware, and utensils for your needs.

Space abounds to sleep up to 8 family members and friends comfortably, with the Serene Gray Room, the Flower Room, and the Pirate Room housing queen, full, and two twin sized beds in addition to the large Juliette Room with a queen bed, sitting and TV area, and balcony overlooking the Lake Room. Additional sleep options are available on the pull out couch and plush air mattresses. Multiple seating and dining areas throughout the house encourage shared meals, conversation, and movie nights with your family and friends.

Grandview Gambrel is located on the town line of Farmington and Rochester, where you will find any amenities you may need only 15 minutes away. We are central to major hubs and activities, with Portsmouth and Lake Winnipesaukee within 30 minutes, and Gunstock Mountain, Laconia, Kennebunkport, Newburyport, Manchester, and Hampton beach all within an hour drive.

Dogs are allowed, maximum of 2, with a $300 fee per stay. Cats are not allowed under any circumstances. If you are bringing a service animal, legal paperwork certifying the animal as a service animal is required and if not supplied, the pet fee will be charged.

There are 4 active security cameras outside, which monitor the front, back, and side yards. Interior spaces, including the hot tub patio and house are not monitored.

Parking is allowed in the two driveways on property only, with space for up to five vehicles.

Relaxing Lake Stay
Our group has stayed at this property several times and keep coming back because it is such a special spot. There is so much to do between the lake itself, the fire pit, hot tub, pool table, and karaoke. We love to cook and the kitchen space is wonderful. We always enjoy our time here. Can’t wait to stay again!

Great for a getaway
The house is beautiful and spotless. So many different sitting areas inside and out. The house has so many amenities that we didn’t feel like we were missing anything. The host was very responsive and accommodated our requests. Looking forward to our next girl’s weekend trip, that I have already rebooked.

Fantastic lakeside oasis
We stayed for a second time and everything was as great as the first. Plenty of space for our group to spread out and enough activities for all ages (we had 11-92). Ed ≤atha are super kind and responsive at any point. Looking forward to year #3. This has definitely turned into our family favorite spot.

Absolutely beautiful house
My sister and I took our daughter's on a little getaway and this house had everything we needed. We all had our own space and traveling with 3 teens space is important. There's plenty of stuff to do at the house we didnt feel we had to go find something. The hosts were great to communicate with. Would stay here again and recommend to others.

We enjoyed a relaxing weekend. The house was perfectly clean, comfortable and well-stocked with everything. You can tell the minute you walk in the door that the owners have worked hard to make it comfortable and welcoming. The hosts were extremely responsive, friendly and helpful.

Amazing lake house!
My friends and I stayed here for a long weekend and had the best time! Ed & Leatha really went above and beyond, left us a personalized note with snacks, texted me to make sure we were settled, and left the house stocked! Plenty of space for sleeping and also multiple living areas for hanging out. Great back yard with lake access and fire pit. Would 100% stay here again :)

My oldest daughter got married in south berwick and my husband was tasked with finding a house for the 8 of us to stay close enough but with enough to make it a vacation weekend as well. We felt welcome from the start, had plenty of space to spread out and enjoyed every moment. Thank you for your hospitality. We will be back again!

Location was outstanding! Property and amenities were good overall. Only complaint would be the lack of an upstairs shower. There were 5 in our group and there was only a half bath on the floor where most of the bedrooms were.

Perfect Lake House
My family and I escaped to Farmington after Christmas from Manhattan. The house was immaculate and absolutely lovely in every way. It had every amenity you could want. The frozen lake was magical. We went out on it at night and saw a sky full of stars. Honestly, it’s my favorite Vrbo ever and I hope we get back there sometime!

Amazing stay
A group of 7 of us went and stayed at this LOVELY lake house for a long weekend in January. Everything was to be expected and more: comfortable beds, working appliances, easy to contact host, etc. After leaving we already starting planning a trip in the summer. There is also grocery stores and a Walmart 15 minutes away. If giving another star on the scale was possible, we would.

Fabulous long weekend getaway
Even after reading all the 5-star reviews, this stay exceeded our expectations. The home itself was lovely, with so many amenities and all the details attended to, and the location was fantastic. We stayed for a long weekend Spring Break getaway, and enjoyed three days of kayaking, hot tubbing, karaoke-ing, playing pool and board games, and breathing in the peace of the location. The hosts were communicative and responsive, the house was beautiful and well kept, and we could not have enjoyed our time more. Thank you!

Beautiful lakeside home
We had a great time. The home is exactly as advertised. The owners tried to think of everything to make the stay as comfortable as possible. Kayaks, paddle boat, lots of life jackets and water shoes were great to have to enjoy the lake. The hot tub, pool table and access to many tv streaming services made the evenings relaxing and fun. Would definitely rent this property again.
