About this property
Quintessential New England Lake Front Cottage
20% off for 7 day stays or more in May and September 2025. Beautiful Lake Front Cottage with all the comforts of home and New England charm. Renovated with original character kept in mind! There is a three day minimum stay.
Spring provides opportunities for hiking and boating. Summer is the perfect opportunity for swimming, boating, or floating your cares away in this beautiful clean lake. Fall is a beautiful time to visit the lake, the water is warm and the lake is quiet. Winter weekends provide opportunities for skiing at nearby Mount Sunapee and possible skating or snowmobiling on the lake and nearby trails. Book now for a week or long weekend away!
Less than 30 feet right to your own dock and waterfront for swimming, boating, fishing or water skiing. Or perhaps just sit back, relax and enjoy the scenery! The rental is equipped with 3 kayaks, 1 double kayak, 2 canoes and 2 paddle boards. The dock will hold up to a 21 foot boat. The dock has stairs to a shallow sandy swimming area (3 feet deep) great for younger children and older adults and the end of the dock is approximately 10 feet deep with a ladder.
Awesome views and exceptionally clean, warm lake. This cottage makes for great family memories!
For nature lovers, there are great trails to hike right out your front door. Crescent Lake is located in Acworth, NH right in the middle of quaint towns, including Sunapee, Claremont & Newport. Great antiquing, shops and more. Mount Sunapee has fun Summer, Fall and Winter activities and is 20 minutes away.
In Winter, Crescent Lake offers skating and walking on the frozen ice, snowshoeing or cross-country skiing on the lake, snowmobiling on the local trails, and skiing and snowboarding at nearby Mt. Sunapee or a little farther away (45 min) at Okemo Mountain.
This lake home is a true hidden gem & makes for magical memories with family and friends for years to come!
NOTE: The property requires stairs and may be difficult for guests with limited mobility. Also the cottage is at the end of a long dirt road so 4WD is suggested and 100% necessary off season (winter and spring).

About the host
Hosted by Kari and Rod MacLeod
We are a family of 5 who loves being outdoors. We have fallen in love with Duck Head cottage and Crescent Lake. We enjoy our cottage getaway year round and love skiing at nearby Mount Sunapee. We also really enjoy renting our cottage to guests when we can't be there to enjoy it ourselves! We feel lucky to share this special place with others!
Why they chose this property
The cottage is cozy, quaint and steps away from lakeside fun. The property is directly on the lake and has everything you need for kayaking, canoeing, and swimming in Spring, Summer and Fall. In Winter you can drive to ski Mount Sunapee or Okemo, while being able to skate, snowshoe and cross country ski on the lake. We are just 25 minutes from Mount Sunapee and all that it has to offer for year round fun including their high ropes course and zip lines and the chairlift to the top to enjoy the foliage in the fall.
What makes this property unique
We have some of the best swimming on Crescent lake right from our dock.
