does anyone know how one could recieve mail at an island house seasonally or year round if desired.or do you have to go to the post office to pick up ???

You may be able to receive mail there. I was also told that the mailboat does come to the island around the south side (not individual homes) but have not verified that.

Contact the Wolfeboro post office for info.

The mailboat delivers from there to pre-established stops during the season.

The mailboat delivers to Rattlesnake daily during the season. The mailbox for all Rattlesnake Island mail is located at the McCarthy house (Lot # 7-8) on the southern tip-alton side. Address the mail to "Rattlesnake Island-Mailboat Delivery".

Mailboat!! How the heck do you get a job on a mailboat?? That's kind of like the person who's "job" it was to take us on a Waverunner tour at the Bahamas over Christmas.
Man am I ever doing something wrong!!!

We get our mail on Cow Island via the Sophie C. It has to go through Lakeport though.
