Food Scene
Lino's

Great food in a fun atmosphere. Everything from sandwiches, salads and pizza to prime rib and shrimp scampi. Also handy to get takeout pizza if you don't want to cook! About a 3 min. drive from our lake house. If you like things a little spicy try the cheesesteak sandwich with deep fried jalapenos on top and the french onion soup is absolutely amazing :)

Getting Around
This is the closest rental car location to our location if you are traveling from the North. However. I would recommend getting a rental car at the Boston, MA or Manchester, NH airports for a better selection.
