Great Stay !!

My wife and I recently returned from a 6 night stay at the property. Our visit exceeded our expectations. The cottage and grounds were exceptionally clean. The cottage had everything we need for a great stay ! The on-site boat launch with dock and pet friendly property were definitely a deciding factor when we booked our trip. Thanks to Karen and John for sharing their beautiful property. Looking forward to staying next year !!

Prime lakefront retreat

Location, location, location. This charming lakefront cottage was the perfect stay for my wife and I and our dog. The house had all the amenities we needed. And the location provides easy access to all the major local attractions.

Love the little touches

The cottage was small compared to other places we've stayed but had everything we needed, so no complaints. We arrived to find little snacks and toys (chalk, water gun, water toy, bubbles) for my 5 year old which she loved. There was also a bottle of wine, pancake mix/syrup and all the smores fixings! The owners were around and very pleasant, the water/driveway/kayaks etc as noted are shared with the owners and nextdoor rental, thankfully ours were lovely, but if you arent into sharing it may not be for you. The area was cute, we took a few neighborhood walks, went to the nearby farm, walked to the country store/ice cream and mostly hung around the water/cottage. Lots of dining and grocery stores nearby. When we visited the water was high so there was no beach, but the water is shallow very far out so we didnt miss it. Would definitely recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Karen

Your hosts John and Karen are recently retired. We moved to New Hampshire to be near our children and enjoy the lake and mountains nearby. We are avid boaters and hikers.

Why they chose this property

Come explore the lakes region of New Hampshire and stay in a classic lakefront cottage! You can go from a morning sunrise hike on Mount Major and then be on the lake in the afternoon for paddling in our kayaks or swimming in the amazing clear water. Bring your boat up to 25 feet or rent one at Winnesquam Marina right down the street. In the evenings there are local pubs, music venues and shopping nearby, or just hang out by the fire pit!

What makes this property unique

Marina within walking distance or bring your boat and use our ramp. Water toys provided - shared with our second rental, 2 kayaks, floats, SUP, water trampoline, etc.
