Tips on Renting a House in the Lakes Region (Wolfeboro area) (Tuftonboro: rentals, houses)

[dubstyle247]

We have recently moved to Tuftonboro and my sister and her husband are considering a move to the area and want to rent a house before they commit to buying. (must be a house)
Aside from craigslist or the bulletin board at the supermarket, where else would be a good place for them to look for rental classifieds in the area?
I guess the other obvious question would be, what would be your best estimate on monthly price for a typical 2 or 3 bed house in the wolfeboro and surrounding areas? Doesn't have to be right in town or on the lake.

I think they would consider Wolfeboro, Tuftonboro or Moltonborough, etc

Thanks in advance.

Bring a boatload of money during the summer season.

I didn't think the NNEREN covered rentals. Thanks.
GregW, do you mean that even regular houses increase rental prices during the summer months? I didn't think vacationers would want to rent regular houses out in the town, just thought they wanted lake front properties. I'm just looking to get a rough idea as to what they would be looking at spending. I guess I'll check with the realtors....

dub, I think GregW may be talking about 'winter rentals'. Many of these properties in the lake towns are 2nd homes owned by out-of-staters, and rather than winterizing them and leaving them to the elements over the winter, they become income-producing property. Many of the lake front properties are seasonal only, and don't have heating systems. And vacationers will certainly rent a house in town, considering the prices for a week at a lake front. If you're from the city, anything in one of the towns that you mentioned is going to be life in the country for a week, with swimming, etc just a short drive away.

And yes, NNEREN does handle rentals
