About this property

Waterfront camp on quiet part of Lake Winnisquam, dog-friendly, w/dock

Charming, one-level cottage can comfortably accommodate six guests in its three bedrooms. Knotty pine kitchen/living room gives you the old camp feel. 150' of waterfront with a western exposure has all the amenities needed to enjoy your Lakes Region vacation, including direct lake access, a 12' x 12' fishing / boat dock (accommodates boat up to 24 feet). A wide range of boat rentals are available at Winnisquam Marine. Located on the north end of Lake Winnisquam in a No Wake Zone, you can enjoy watching the loons, great blue herons and other wildlife in Chemung State Forrest across from the property. Walk down the steps to your private, sandy beach and dip your toe in the crystal-clear lake. Watch kayakers or take our canoe or kayaks out for a paddle. On rainy days or in the evening, gather on the 16’ x 17’ screened-in porch for dinner or board games. At the end of the day, fire up our grill (propane provided). After dinner pull up a chair to the fire pit under the mature pine trees. For more fun, downtown Meredith is a 13-minute drive away (6 miles). New WiFi in 2025. Generous parking for your vehicles and motorcycle or boat trailer (gravel driveway). Bring your own linens and towels or have us provide them for an additional fee. Bring your dog (up to 2) for additional fee. 2 full beds and 2 twin beds. New heat pumps (heat+A/C) installed in 2023. There is NO clothes washer or dryer on premises. Level 2 EV charger new in 2024.

Great vacation property! We loved being able to have a little beach as well as a dock to use. It was very nice to be able to use the grill for dinner and relax by a firepit. We've been coming here for years and enjoy this quiet end of the lake.

About the host

Hosted by Lyman Jackson

Host profile image
We love the lakes and mountains of the Lakes Region! I grew up in Laconia and have returned here every year with my family for the last 20 years. Our kids have grown up enjoying watersports and fun times with cousins on this lake during our annual vacations. We're now thrilled to have a place to share with our family and with you. Get away and enjoy the lake!

Why they chose this property

Lake Winnisquam is a quieter lake than Winnpesaukee. The north end of the lake is even more peaceful. Yet, you can motor down to the wide-open part of the lake to tube, water ski or wake board. Hanging out at the sand bar at the "Mosquito Bridge" is also fun if you want to play ball / frisbee in the waist deep water and socialize. Winnisquam Marine is located there with a wide range of power, pontoon and other boats for rent.

What makes this property unique

Lake Winnisquam is the third largest lake in NH. It is just 2 hours from the Boston area. While our spot is secluded, you are 20 minutes from the Tanger outlet stores in Tilton as well as Market Basket and Walmart. Hanaford's supermarket is 10 minutes away in downtown Meredith. Check out minigolf at Pirates Cover or head to Weirs Beach to visit Funspot, billed as the largest arcade in the world or head over to Kellerhaus for the best ice cream bar experience and homemade chocolates. Downtown Laconia is also undergoing a rebirth with the re-opening of the historic Colonial Theater (a performing arts center) and, a few miles from downtown, the restored Lakeport Opera House. In Gilford, you'll find Gunstock Ski Area and the Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion featuring headline performers old and new.
