Welcome to “Campbellot”
This lovely year-round chalet is situated in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire. It is perched only 20 ft. from private waterfront on crystal clear Rust Pond. Rust Pond is a quiet 210-acre pristine lake in South Wolfeboro, 'The Oldest Summer Resort in America.' From the master bedroom balcony, you can see the morning sunrise, watch fish swim, or simply take in the serenity. Walking out on to the dock with your coffee, you may decide to slip in for an early morning dip, being the first to quietly pierce the calm water. Breakfast on the deck is a must. In the late summer you will smile at the mist rising above the surface, offering the warmth of the lake to the crisp morning air.
The fall foliage draws many to the lakes region, but it is a quieter season on the lake and in town. A great time of year for relaxing, beautiful hikes, fishing, and the brave hearted can still polar-bear swim. You can warm up by the gas fireplace on the deck.
Winter at Campbellot can be peaceful enjoyment of the cottage and cozy gas fireplace taking in the solitude of winter and beauty of the night skies. Winter can also be lake-skating, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, downhill skiing (Gunstock 21miles, King Pine 29miles, Cranmore 43miles, Attitash 51miles), and of course sledding.
