Come back to yesteryear with a vacation in this charming cottage on Lake Winnipesaukee. This rustic home boasts a knotty pine interior, a combination living/dining room with a fully functional kitchen, and two bedrooms and a bathroom on the first level. The loft offers a lovely vantage point of the lake and a comfortable spot to rest your head after a busy day of boating, swimming, and sunbathing. The shared sandy beach, a short walk along a quiet dirt road, allows for gentle access to the crystal clear lake. The 30' screened porch overlooking the water's edge is the perfect spot for playing board games with family members, reading, doing crossword puzzles, and recharging from the hectic pace of everyday life. Come and enjoy the distinct call of the loons as the lake water gently laps against the shore and savor the beauty that is the Lakes Region.

Great Place! Vacasa terrible rental company

we loved this place very much, and we can tell by the logbooks that I've been there for years that many people have enjoyed this house, aside from what I am about to say next about the rental company this place is awesome and beautiful water great fishing, and we absolutely just loved the classic New Hampshire cottage, that we we always have strive to rent for. 100% would recommend staying here. But.......it appears as though it is being rented through a new company called Vacasa. this company is not local to the Lakes region. we got there and had no idea if we are allowed to park at the top of the driveway or in the driveway and quickly realized that it was a bad idea to try to even park in the driveway. DO NOT ATTEMPT DRIVEWAY! There was no house rules if you will. unfortunately, there was a lot of garbage left from the people before us in the trash cans at the top of the driveway so we had to put in an inquiry to the company which took over a day to finally send somebody local out get rid of some of the trash and by then we had already generated trash ourselves and unfortunately, for the next person they were probably left with a whole bunch of trash as well. so all in all I totally recommend the property and you'll love it once you're there but it's really too bad that this company called Vacasa who is managing the rentals.
