This is a really lovely Airbnb at an amazing location: walking distance from the Cedars-Sinai hospital, the Beverly Center, Joan's on 3rd and lots of other coffee shops, bakeries, ice cream parlors, juiceries, etc. And on top of it all, you'll be dealing with just the nicest hosts. What more could you ask for?

I found this to be a very unusual listing since it's a private island with no-one else on it. However it was an absolute gem! It is located in a good quiet spot, plenty of opportunity for swimming and kayaking. We also had a jet ski, which we took to more open water near-by on the lake (you need a boating license in NH for any boat over 25HP). Be prepared to rent a boat if you do not have one already. Getting too and from can be difficult with large groups (we had 11), as it takes quite a bit of time to ferry people and their stuff back and forth, and also for provisions as your stay progresses.
Just FYI, we could not find water taxi's or drive at night. The hosts provided a very good guide before we arrived, and were responsive.

Make sure you do your research on the local area before you go to prepare yourself, depending on what you want from your stay! Make sure you have a navigational map of the lake (available in marina's and shops around the lake). Plan on where to take your trash afterwards also.

I highly recommend this place, we will be back hopefully!

This place is awesome! This is our second year going there. We had a wonderful time..... Definitely bring some bumpers for your boat the dock is a little rickety. There is a large Doe on the island and 2 red squirrels and a raccoon this year. Like any backwoods adventure make sure you lather up with the bug spray and check yourself for deer ticks. Seems like people may explore the island when it's not rented so you may have to kick people off. All and All it's absolutely wonderful place to go and the host was awesome. Don't want to talk it up too much because we'd like to keep our spot every year😊

This is obviously not an average Airbnb experience, but it was definitely one of the most memorable times of my life!
The island (Little Whortlebury) is in the middle of Lake Winnipesaukee, and the boat-only access make it super private and secluded.
Our group had six tents and one hammock, and there would have been space for many more. Though there were some supplies on the island, we brought our own tarps to ensure we had cover over the seated area and a small ‘lounge’ we created.
If visiting for the first time, my suggestion would be to rent a boat with a decent engine (not the 25hp platforms which don’t require a license). That way you can easily make trips to Wolfeboro, Melvin Village, etc. so you can easily get ice creams, re-up on creature comforts like ice, and generally enjoy all the lake has to offer.
Other than that, our suggestion would be to do lots of preparation and bring everything you think you’ll need.

This was a unique stay! Great for a large crowd and camping experience. Sabra was quick with responses and the directions were very easy to follow. On a busy lake you can still have plenty of privacy for your group and allow the dogs to run free. Highly recommend and we will be back.

This was a quaint and enjoyable experience. The welcome packet I received was very informative and provided excellent information as to what to expect. It gave easy directions to find the launch, where to park, and how to navigate to the island. It is minimalist's dream stay. The hosts were responsive and informative with a timely manner. Thanks so much for a wonder experience.

This place is a paradise.
The cooking utilities and kitchen structure were very helpful and made the hardest parts of camping fun. There was plenty of space for 10+ tents. The swimming platform made for a great day out on the water.
We did the swim around the island before breakfast challenge, and let me tell you, it was a challenge. The water is quite shallow and rocky so some parts were more of a crawl. Still super fun! We had an absolute blast and created some great memories.
Our only issue was that the dock was in very rough shape when we arrived, although the host did let us know about this before we arrived. Overall was not too much of an issue, but we did need to move the dock which took some muscle.
I would absolutely recommend this place to someone looking for an island camping experience and who is prepared to rent a boat.

This is a really cool place to stay. It's a large house with lots of interesting design, comfy furniture and beautiful views. We did get about 2 feet of snow during our stay and could easily access Lincoln Peak within a 3 minute drive of the house. I've stayed in lots of boring, clean, well stocked condos with zero charm and rated them a 5 because they fit the description of what I was expecting and I had an uneventful easy stay. This house is very true to the description, you may, on occasion, hear a small woodland creature, but this didn't bother us a bit as we have stayed in many country settings. You may also feel a slight draft in some parts of the house but the warm concrete floor, the book shelves filled with goodies, the views, the beds, the glass shower in a concrete basin will make it all worth it. Its a gem of a house and I can wait to visit again!

One of the coolest airbnb’s ever! The Archie Bunker is indeed a work of art. It’s very quirky, timeless and just beautiful! We arrived at the property after sundown and it’s very easy to find yet still very private. There are so many mood lights! The main room is super beautiful even at night. I just wish there are pool lights, I think it’ll be even more beautiful. The concrete tub was an experience and although there are no blinds on the shower, it is still very secluded so you’re not really exposed. My dog loved the lush yard! Last but not least, I never thought the pool would be that big! It is very rustic indeed but beautiful nonetheless! That was the highlight of my trip — the cold plunge from the pool. Thank you for sharing this place with us! It was such an unforgettable weekend ✨

Amazing quirky piece of art and architecture! My friends and I had the best time staying there and would love to come again in the summer and fall to see it during all seasons & to be able to use that pool.
LOVED the living room, all the sunlight that came in through the windows and playing chess at the custom table and beautiful wood pieces. The property was fun to explore.
Just make sure you're comfortable with who you stay with - the bedrooms are all open to public spaces - this very much embraces the open layout concept :)
Hosts were super communicative/responsive/friendly. Can't wait to make another trip out there and potentially even stay on the other property.

This place is amazing!!! We came up for a ski weekend and everything was perfect, right next to Sugarbush, 3 minute drive. The hosts are responsive and the building is very cool. I loved getting up before skiing and seeing the view from the chairs with a cup of coffee. It was perfect

Absolutely loved the place! Everything about the house was perfect for us and th dogs. Sugarbush was only 1.5 miles away, so we could easily come back to the house for lunch and to play with the dogs in the snow. The bed was so comfortable; it was the best six nights of sleep I've had in a long time! I even looked to see what the mattress brand was so I could buy one for myself. Would love to come back in warmer weather to take advantage of the pool. Thanks for a great stay!

Lovely spot to getaway from the city any time of year! This place is very special and a Vermont gem.
Easy access to Sugarbush and Waitsfield makes it so easy to find things to do for the whole family.
The beds were very comfy too!

Archie Bunker is worthy award wining house. Interesting design and full of lights and windows even in places you won’t expect that add to your curiosity. The pool is in better shape and size I understood from description and the video.
We also had a surprise visit by Dave and I enjoyed our conversation. Dave is the architect designer of the house.
We loved the house and it had everything we needed for our two weeks stay.
Definitely recommend.

We had an amazing time staying at this unique place. The opportunity to golf on the property was a ton of fun, and we spent the majority of the time by the pool/relaxing outside. We would absolutely stay again, and look forward to it!

The house was certainly one of a kind. It was fun to discover new nooks and crannies over the three days there. It makes one wonder why we don't stray from the norm architecturally more often. It was easy to feel at home here.
I enjoyed watching the links outside the large shower windows. Sugarbush is less than 5 minutes away. This place was great!

Archie Bunker” is so awesome!!! What a fantastic and totally unique experience! Warm floors, comfy beds & pillows, a well stocked kitchen, and plenty of entertainment. Exploring the house and it’s intricacies was excitement all in it’s own! My wife and niece had a fantastic time and we really did enjoy ourselves!
Parker & Sabrina were fantastic hosts! A++++ will definitely come back again!

Our group of two couples really enjoyed our stay at Archies Bunker. This is the most unusual Air BnB we have ever stayed at. Crazy funky modern concrete house with loads of unusual features was fun for our friend group. Plenty of living space with lots of windows and comfortable bedrooms. Pretty well equipped kitchen. Good price for getting to stay in a work of art. I love Vermont!

We had fun the entire time, and wished it could have gone on longer. The area is one of my favorite places to come back to, especially in the winter. We look forward to experiencing this house again in the summer when it’s warm enough to swim. Honestly, any time spent in this unique house is guaranteed to be memorable.

We enjoyed our stay immensely! The house was even more imaginative and interesting than the photos showed. There was something exciting to the eyes everywhere you turned! Very comfortable beds, peaceful, beautiful setting. The description in the listing was helpful but everything was even better than expected! And the hosts were very responsive when we had questions. Highly recommend!

Such a treat to have had the opportunity to stay in such a unique structure that still had a comfortable homey feeling. We spent the majority of our time outside, even in the extreme heat, the pool was right there to cool off.
My wife especially enjoyed celebrating her birthday there. We plan to come back soon!!!!

This Vermont ski house is an absolute gem. From the moment you arrive, you’re greeted by a stunning architectural design that blends seamlessly with the natural surroundings. Totally unique design, expansive windows that flood the space with natural light while offering breathtaking views of snow covered landscape. The open-concept living area is beautifully furnished, kitchen is fully equipped, heated floors throughout!. The bedrooms are spacious and cozy. this home is in pristine condition and the attention to detail in the design is stunning.
Just minutes from the ski resort, it offers the ultimate convenience. Whether you want to hit the slopes first thing in the morning or take a midday break, the short commute is a game-changer. From the thoughtful host to the warm and cozy interiors, every detail is designed to make you feel at home. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a fun and unique yet comfortable mountain escape!

We had a wonderful weekend away at Parker’s mountainside home. The space had a presence all its own, especially in the snow. You can’t beat the combination of location, uniqueness, and vibes.

House is extremely intricate and beautifully designed, very intimate experience and calls for those that you travel with to get a little closer with themselves and the world. Seating was extremely comfortable and beds were soft and warm. There’s no ac so in the summer just open the door at the top floor and it will cuddle fresh air through the house because of how open it is. Also has no tv so bring one if you’re looking for that kind of experience, other than that house is perfect would 100% rent again.
