About this property

Close to downtown Meredith & lake Winnipesaukee on 13 secluded acres, Mt. views

COVID-19 cleaning, we clean & disinfect for 3-3 1/2 hours, code entry, ALL bedding cleaned & disinfected after each guest.

Nestled between Lake Winnipesaukee and Newfound Lake on a mountaintop ON 13 PRIVATE ACRES sits a newly constructed, beautifully decorated cottage. Gorgeous views accompany this romantic and PRIVATE Meredith NH getaway, so bring your camera!! Features a large single bedroom with a huge king size bed.
Snuggle in the new high-quality mattress with alternative down comforter and comfy pillows. Then head to the luxurious bathroom with Jacuzzi tub and separate large shower. Relax with your favorite music while you shower with our blue tooth connected adjustable shower head. Melt those worries away. Decide whether you want to go out for dinner or cook in our kitchen featuring soft close cabinets and stocked with everything you need for cooking/baking. Now that you are full, check out the living room with new queen size pull-out sofa and 55″ swivel TV. It may be hard to choose between gazing at the flames in the gas fireplace or looking at the ever-changing mountain views. Maybe consider going outside to sit on the front porch or build a fire in the firepit and grill some smores. Be sure to bring/rent your toys. We have plenty of parking space for boats/trailer, kayaks, snowmobiles, four-wheelers, etc. on the property. The property is located on the Hermit Lake Snowmobile Trail and there is a pond within biking distance. In case of rain, some favorite reading material is available for you to read at your leisure. So what are you waiting for, what’s not to like? We would love for you to enjoy what Meredith residents are blessed to enjoy every day.

About us:
If we build it they will come, or so we hope. My husband and I, after raising 3 kids and seeing them thru 2 tours in Iraq, while I battled cancer went looking for a peaceful, comfortable cottage on its own land because we really needed solitude and some down time. The search began in NH, then Maine and finally Vermont. The closest we found was a cabin in VT with a woodstove and jacuzzi tub, unfortunately it had other cabins all around us, no views and cost $300.00 a night! We stayed for the weekend and talked to the owners about their experience owning cottages.
In the mean-time my husband got a job at New Hampton School and while driving around found a 230 year old house with 36 acres and beautiful views that reminded him of his grandfather’s cottage in up-state NY. He had many fond memories being a child there and couldn’t let this house go. Should we? This house was not even insulated and had been a summer camp for 50 years. After much consideration we purchased the old home with dream views and most importantly…land.
Then began 3 long years of making it livable. Still, we felt very blessed and enjoyed our views, the peace and quiet, but we never forgot the stress of everything we had suffered and couldn’t forget the many fellow veterans and cancer survivors and wished we could bless them with what we had.
Could we combine both the need for eventual retirement income and help others too? Well we owned the land across the street separately, so began the dream … and then the work. A business plan, a budget (how to stay on budget), purchase of an excavator to clear the land & put in a septic, get a loan, draw plans, hire tradesman then do the rest ourselves. After many LEARNING MOMENTS & 2 tireless years of working almost every weekend (my husband worked his full-time job!) many phone calls, tradespeople, bought everything needed to build & furnish the cottage, hubby still did most of the heavy lifting and we both called on anyone we knew for help or knowledge with anything we didn’t already know.
Finally, after 2 long years I was finally able to decorate it. We are so GLAD it’s done and we are very proud of what we have accomplished. We hope you like it as much as we do.
Actually, you’re helping with our dream to help others just by renting. For every extra $ we can save after deducting costs we hope to put a percent into giving a veteran or cancer survivor some time here for free. Another way You can help us bless others is by giving us good reviews as well as signing our guestbook.

But most importantly, we hope you enjoy your stay, please read the cabin companion book and familiarize yourself with helpful tips as we also labeled things and left notes to help. I collected some of our favorite things to do in the area as well as brochures. Please don’t hesitate to call us directly if needed!
We thank you in advance for taking good care of our cottage. Please leave comments on the chalk board if anything is needed/wanted, compliments and constructive criticism.

Your owners/Hosts,
Kirk and Sue Beswick

This was our 5th annual trip to Pinnacle View cottage & we continue to enjoy it every year. The location is perfect for us to explore but also have a private retreat. It’s magnificently clean, as always. Sue & Kirk take tremendous pride in their little slice of heaven with some of the best sunsets in New England.

This is our 2nd visit to the Pinnacle Cabin. We enjoyed our stay as much as the first. Absolutely love the quiet serenity of the property. It may not be for everyone, however, if you just love nature, and quiet, with beautiful sunsets, and everything you need for a very pleasant stay, this is it. Just a short trip away, we visited Castle in the Clouds, and it was wonderful! The views are outstanding! We later did some walking near Ellacoya State Park on Lake Winnipesaukee, also with gorgeous views. Took a drive to Wolfeboro on the other side of the Lake, which once again is a beautiful area to visit. The walking trail is great! Plenty of shopping and restaurants as well.

A lot of work done to make and keep this a peaceful get away. Everything you need is provided. Just bring your clothes and food! Secluded yet close to town. So you can eat out or get groceries and eat in. See the sights of surrounding areas or just relax and get away from it all. Beautiful sunsets and wildlife - a Turkey visited several times!

This was our second time staying at the property, and it once again met all our expectations. It's the perfect blend of being isolated but still close to any amenities you choose to take advantage of. The cabin is well-maintained and is the perfect getaway for me and my wife.

If you are looking for a remote SUPER QUIET, PEACEFUL, OUT OF THE WAY, COMFORTABLE place to stay (with the amenities of home). This is it. Within close proximity to restaurants, grocery store, the lake, shopping, etc...The view is specular. You can actually hear yourself breath. That is how quiet this place is. Just bring your bug spray and flashlight if you have a desire to walk outside at night. The owners provide all that you can think that you would need (in abundance). If you want to just relax in the indoors spa or enjoy the view on the outside deck. You will always remember this quaint lovely house/location..Thanks for having us as quests. We loved it.

Little Slice of Heaven

We came for a weekend away from all the noise of our lives and got exactly what we needed. Quiet, secluded and surrounded by nature. The cottage is perfect and incredibly comfortable for two people and their two dogs. We found so many great hiking trails in the surrounding area and all the little towns are a lot of fun to explore. We are hoping to make this a yearly winter trip for our little family.
