Thanks much! Yes, we're looking to rent. Looking for a drivable vacation and we've enjoyed the times we've been to VT, NH and Maine before. They've always been driving/camping trips though and w/ the kids now, we thought we'd try staying a while somewhere. We'd be looking probably sometime in from late May to late June.
What do you think about Lake Willoughby? Lake Bomoseen, Caspian, Crystal, Maidstone? Know anything about any of those?
What about Squam Lake in NH? I've been there many times although not for a long time. My memories of it are positive. Also, my memories of it are that it's fairly quiet, some boats but not a lot and I think it's not a big enough lake for super speedy power boats anyway.
Fun fact: On Golden Pond was filmed at Squam Lake. The house used in the movie belonged to an MD/researcher in the group that I worked with when I first moved up to Boston and I've stayed in that house.
Ha, I was just about to recommend Willoughby. VERY beautiful...it's out of the way, not much around it, which is good and bad...we love that place...if you're looking for lots of non lake activities, there's not much around, but we like being self contained at a lake. Same for Caspian, great lake (Bill Rehnquist had a house there) right in the famous Beer and Cheese Belt. Bomoseen can have mosquito issues for some reason.
Get going on this early, good place book up fast...
