At a Glance:
Lakefront retreat with a spacious grassy yard, 4 kayaks, a pedal boat, a game room secluded from sleeping areas, and a kids' play space. Relax by the fire, dine outside under cover, lounge on the upper deck, and enjoy a well-stocked kitchen.
Tucked in the peaceful Locke Lake Community, you're minutes from local farm stands and hidden gems (without the crowds). Sandy community beaches are a short walk down the street. Hot spots like Alton Bay and Wolfeboro are about 15 to 30 minutes away.

The Fireflies Landing Experience
This is the kind of place where kids spend more time outdoors and playing than on screens, families gather around the dinner table after a day on the water, and evenings end with campfires, stargazing, and stories by the lake.
Simple. Relaxing. Memorable.
