Cozy Fall Cabin Getaway near hiking w/ firepit and kids bunkhouse

Leave the hustle and bustle behind. Drive down the dirt road to our clean, quiet cabin; nestled in the pines of a quintessential NH lakeside neighborhood.

The cabin features:
-- 2 Bedrooms
-- 1 Bathroom
-- Cozy living room with wood stove
-- Small but well-equipped kitchen stocked with the essentials plus a coffee bar
-- Three-season porch for game nights
-- Nostalgic Bunkhouse with DVDs + Nintendo GameCube for the kids

There is plenty of outdoor space. Enjoy a book on the private deck with peekaboo lake views, rinse off in the outdoor shower after a day on the lake or a hike of Mt. Major, have a seat on the Adirondack chairs around the firepit and reminisce on memories from the day while you enjoy smores.

Adults, relax by the fire while you listen to the kid's laughter from the bunkhouse curated with a few goodies to help keep them occupied.

We have SHARED lake frontage a 3-to-5-minute walk from the cabin, on a flat dirt road. Take a stroll or bike ride.

There is NO BEACH. It is a water access point for swimming / fishing / kayaking (2 included). Kayak carts (2) provided to help you walk kayaks to the water. There is no shoreline sitting area, but we put our chairs right in the water. There is a nice gradual incline for swimming. It is clear, not spongy and not murky. And the view of the Belknap Mountain Range is just gorgeous!

See photos in the listing to get a feel for the waterfront area.

To play in the sand, head to the Town Beach < 1 mile away (see photos) or take a drive to many of the beautiful beaches along Lake Winnipesaukee.

Alton Bay is a 15-minute drive. Irwin Marine has daily boat rentals and SUP-NH has paddle board rentals. Go a bit further (30 mins) to Wolfeboro or Laconia for tons of activities. Be sure to check out the Mount Washington Cruise which stops in Alton Bay and five other Ports around Lake Winnipesaukee.

Don’t feel like leaving the cabin? Grill on the BBQ, play yard games, go on a bike ride around the neighborhood, bring floats down to the shared water frontage. The vibe at the cabin is fun all on its own.

Gunstock Mountain has lots of fun activities – Adventure Park, Ziplining, E-Bike Tours, Scenic Lift Rides, Off-Road Segway Tours, Mountain Coaster and more.

Whether you head out to explore or relax at Little Bear Lodge, unwind by the fire, partake in good ole fashioned competition with a game night on the porch, or cozy up for a movie.
