Relax on your very own private sandy beach on Leavitt Bay. This bright lakefront cottage has a vast waterfront and two decks giving you a front-row seat to some beautiful sunrises and sunsets across seasons. With space and trees between each of the homes in the neighborhood, you'll feel like the lake is your own. Plus, a unique outdoor area - complete with a propane firepit, picnic table, and an umbrella to help you escape the sun. This cottage is just the place to enjoy a glass of wine and relax with the song of the loons or sightings of the Eagle fishing in the bay. The fall season is tranquil and beautiful on Leavitt Bay, fantastic for fishing, kayaking, and stargazing. The Ossipee area is close to apple orchards, farms, fairs, and tasting rooms. Bring your bikes and hiking shoes and explore nearby country roads and trails. There are many good fishing spots on Ossipee Lake and other nearby ponds. When folks inevitably grow hungry, numerous local favorites are within 15 miles of the cottage!

During the summer, you will enjoy swimming, boating, and fishing on the bay, as well as a slip on an expansive dock where you can secure your boat. Two kayaks are provided. Grill your fresh catch on the private gas grill as the sun goes down, and let the non-fishers of the group prepare sides in the well-equipped kitchen. Wind down after your hearty meal by lounging on the new sleeper sofa and watching your favorite shows on the TV while the partial air-conditioning keeps you cool.

Would highly recommend!

Loved our week long stay. Would recommend to anyone. Here are the cons: There needs to be a new screen door placed as it did not close all the way and ants can easily get in. Someone dropped off ant traps while we were there so this is a known issue. I wish there was instructions on how to use the TV as we had a rainy day and would have liked to have used it but never got it to work. The listing stated coffee and towels were provided. No coffee and no beach towels though there were plenty of bath towels. Where you have to park is a stones throw away. Only a con as when we arrived it was raining and had a lot of things to carry in. Beach was great, perfect for swimming. Kayaks were wonderful. Place was very clean. No other cons, plan on staying there again!!

Nice Cottage

The location of this place is great! Right on the water and easy to get to. The cottage is small but big enough for a couple or a small family and has everything you need. My biggest complaint is that there is ONE air conditioner in the living room and it is not enough to cool down the entire house. We had to have our son (18 months old) sleep in the living room since his bedroom was too hot and even with the AC running all day at its highest setting, it only got down to 78 degrees by his bedtime (the bedrooms were mid-80s). This cottage desperately needs some central air conditioning for those hot summer days. Another thing to note is that the beach area in front of the cottage is very rocky (hard to walk on without shoes), but there is a beach area close by for guests that you can go to swim and would be better for small children. We arrived on a Saturday and the lake was VERY busy with boats and jet skis. Boats gathered at the barge and played loud music until about 10:00ish that night. Sunday was a bit toned down but still a fair number of boats and jet skis. Definitely not the same “party type” feel as Saturday. By Monday it was a completely calm and tranquil lake with hardly any water activity at all. Overall, we enjoyed our stay, but wouldn’t come back to this cottage at the height of the summer without better air conditioning.

Excellent Spot and Utility Mostly

Other than the TV going dark on day 2 (and not coming back), and internet being temperamental, the location is spectacular and unit well organized. If only we had planned for the TV/Internet.

Beautiful Setting

The setting was gorgeous .Cottage was spotless. Enjoyed sitting on the deck overlooking the water. The water was very clean and we saw loons and an eagle. Excellent restaurants were very close and everyone we interacted with was very friendly. Overall a lovely fall getaway.
