About this property

Idyllic Mountain and Lake Getaway

Tucked away in the scenic Gunstock Acres neighborhood, this newly renovated mountain chalet will capture your heart from the moment you walk in. The home has ample parking, beautiful deck overlooking a large flat backyard, and yard games. There are also plenty of quiet nooks for working from home and reliable wifi. All of this, while being equidistant between the mountains and Lake Winnipeasukee. What more could you want?

The home has been tastefully renovated with all the highest end touches, including a built in dining nook that overlooks the beautiful backyard and a bubbling stream in the distance. This, combined with a fireplace on the outside deck and a fully stocked kitchen, encourages both gathering and conversations inside and out. The propane fireplace is ideal for curling up next to in the winter. The master suite has a private balcony that overlooks the wooded backyard. There are washers and dryers in both the upstairs master suite and downstairs in the utility room. Both are at your disposal during your visit for any laundry needs. There are plentiful bath and beach towels for all guests throughout your stay. We have a large game closet for all age ranges and a multitude of outdoor games, as well, in the shed that can be taken out in the summer to be used in the yard. There are way too many amenities to name here, so please don't hesitate to reach out to inquire about any specific requests or questions.

Our home is less than half a mile away from Gunstock Mountain Resort. In the winter, the resort offers day and night skiing, tubing, a mountain coaster, and cross country skiing. In the summer months the resort has zipline canopy tours, a high ropes course, and hiking trails, just to name a few.

Ellacoya State Park is only five minutes away, as well, which has a gorgeous beach and picnic tables along the water. Please reach out to Allie two weeks ahead of your stay and she can reserve your day pass for the days you would like to go to the beach during your stay. There are beach chairs in the shed that you are welcome to bring with you. If you plan to bring a boat, there is plenty of parking for a trailer and a pass for the Town of Gilford ramp.

If shopping is more appealing, the Tanger Outlets in Tilton are less than a twenty minute drive. Popular stores include American Eagle, Brooks Brothers, Bath & Body Works, and Under Armour, to name a few.

There are restaurants that will cater to all interests within a fifteen minute radius, including multiple waterfront establishments and bars.

From our driveway, you can walk up the hill to a beautiful overlook of Lake Winnipeasaukee and Gunstock Mountain Resort. The neighborhood lends itself well to walking and biking alike with a multitude of roads with varying difficulty.

Thanksgiving getaway
This was our second stay and we enjoyed spending the Thanksgiving holiday here relaxing with family. The house is cozy and comfortable and Allie the host left a Thanksgiving welcome kit for us and had the table set for Thanksgiving dinner! We can’t wait to return again.

Lovely Home
We had a fabulous time on our girl's trip. The property manager was amazing, and very prompt in getting back to me with my questions. The welcome we received when we got there was so kind. The home itself was beautiful, and the yard was amazing. Such a perfect place for a relaxing vacation.
