Lake Shore Drive

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

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.

Very good communication and help readily available. The house was super clean and very well stocked with plenty of linens available as well. Snow removal was quick and efficient and all walkways were shoveled as well,Only trouble was hot water took forever to get and needed to be run for a ridiculous amount of time to even get warm. All in all we enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful stay

We enjoyed our week in New Hampshire! We had family from 4 months old to 78 years and there was plenty of room for all. We had one problem with a bed frame that was broken, but received a response within a few hours. We would return to this property!

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.

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.

Amazing NH Family Getaway

We went with a group of families and 5 kids under 2 yrs old. We had a great time exploring the property (Cannot stress how much land there is to explore), feeding the chickens, sitting by the lake and playing in front of the big screen in the movie theatre. At night the adults loved the game room, pool, ping pong, arcade games. Huge kitchen great for cooking family style meals, plenty of bedrooms and beds. Some were lofts with no way to close off sound from below though so something to keep in mind with young children in those.

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.
