About this property

Pristine Lakefront Cottage on Highland Lake, Stoddard; 2024 Dates Available

Relaxing waterfront cottage on Highland Lake in Stoddard. Beautiful lake views from every room. Probably one of the best locations on the lake, with 282 feet of water frontage and end-of-the-road privacy. Faces west for all day sun and spectacular sunsets. Sandy shallow section in water for little ones plus a nice big dock for your boat. Please read our reviews to understand the spectacular aspects of this home. We provide a canoe, paddles, and life jackets free for your use and can deliver a rowboat for a small fee. Small general store in town for last minute provisions, and the lake has a nice little marina with friendly hosts. Enjoy the serenity on this quiet, pretty lake in the wonderful Monadnock Region of NH.

Highland Lake is over 7 miles long. The home and spacious yard represent a perfect place to relax and unwind looking out at this peaceful lake. On any given day you will see kayakers, canoe travelers, and paddle boarders, and an occasional waterskier. Not to mention fishermen young and old catching large and small mouth bass! Several families of loons, some eagles, and a blue heron call this lake their home and you'll almost certainly see them during your stay.

If you would like to explore the area, the towns of Hancock and Peterborough are 20-25 minutes away, and Keene has all the stores you need if that's your thing. Mt. Monadnock is roughly a half hour away, and the best blueberry picking can be found at Pitcher Mountain, within a 5 min drive. The Harris Center in Hancock is worth a trip, or see the Scottish Highlanders on your way to Pitcher Mt. for a hike and view that's unsurpassed in this area.

There is a master bedroom with a queen bed and another bedroom with two twins, and clean, simple, modern amenities.

Weekly or monthly rental inquiries welcome.

Just wonderful!
The property looks just like the listing; it’s so beautiful. Simple decor, very roomy, comfy beds/couch, a kitchen to die for & everything one would need to prepare meals was there. The views from every window were spectacular & it was so quiet! My husband, myself, & our little dog traveled to NH to celebrate my husband’s birthday & I swear we didn’t want to leave the house. The owners have a canoe for use w/life jackets/paddles & a fire pit. It was rainy during our 4 day stay so we only lit the fire pit that last couple of days which was fine! You need to bring your own firewood but the owners were kind enough to have it delivered! They were also very responsive, accommodating & kind people. I could go on forever about our wonderful experience but you should trust me & rent it!

Great Lakeside Cottage
Nice lakeside cottage. Clean and comfortable staycation. Beautiful lakeside views. Would schedule less excursions for a return stay next time to enjoy the property more.

Clean house but difficult navigating the entrance
The house was very clean and met our requirements. However, the steep drive into the property and then the steep hill into the house was fairly treacherous for two people in their late 70’s. Would recommend this get mentioned in the write up. Home owner was very attentive which I very much appreciated. The lake had loads of weeds in it which made fishing impossible

About the host

Hosted by Jaimee Healy

Host profile image
My husband has been coming to Highland Lake for over 45 years. He loves the peace and serenity of the lake. Not to mention the fishing and the sounds of the loons at night. He can provide ideas for hiking trails, mountain bike rides, canoe trips, good fishing spots on the lake, jumps off rocks into the lake, and so on. We have a number of excellent restaurants to suggest, starting with the Hancock Inn in Hancock, or Pearl in Peterborough. Shop at 12Pine for high end food and groceries, and visit Pitcher Mountain in late July and August for blueberries. Ask any question and we'll be glad to help make your stay wonderful.

What makes this property unique

View of Lovewell Mountain. Western sunsets every night, directly across the lake. A dock. A canoe, paddles, and life jackets provided for your use. An outdoor fire pit for campfires on our lawn just a few feet from the lake. A rowboat we deliver to you for a few dollars on occasion when people ask...
