208.0. "Shorefront rental ideas wanted" by MCIS5::GOODENOW () Sun Jul 26 1992 21:56

    My wife and I want to spend a few days towards the end of August 
    renting a cabin or very nice room on a New Hampshire, Vermont, or 
    Maine lake. I want to do some canoe fishing, she wants something 
    not-too-rustic, very swimmable beach and/or pool, maybe some amenities like nice nearby restaurants,
    on-site whirpool, good shopping, that sort of thing. I guess we want a
    small resort. Probably not an individual privately-owned house.  
    
    We would like to be around the Lakes Region of NH --which we know from many
    years of camping--- and so that's pretty much our first choice. In
    fact, the Wolfeboro area would probably be ideal. Would like to be
    within three-four hours of Marlboro in any case. I'm primarily 
    interested in bass fishing.
    
    Any ideas?  Thanks.

208.1How about Maine?SUBPAC::CRONINMon Jul 27 1992 09:2215
    RE: .0
    	It's more north than you asked for but...  Last year my wife
    decided she couldn't put up with another old cottage so she booked a
    Condo on Moose Pond in Bridgeton, ME.  I'm not really the condo type 
    but this place was great!  Two buildings of 5 condos each, pool, small
    beach with a float, dock for your boat, garage, jacuzzi, deck, tennis
    court, etc.  Real low key, very few people around.  Sloping lot with
    big birch and pine trees.  Really nice!!  About 1/2 hour from North
    Conway if you want shopping and ~1 hour from the Maine coast.
    	The lake has all kinds of structure from deep rocky drop-offs to
    shallow stump filled bays.  Lots of Smallies and I think it is also the
    lake that produced the Maine state record Largemouth.
    	If you want any more info let me know and I'll dig up a phone
    number for you.
