About this property
Peaceful Lakes Region Retreat | Canoe + Fire pit
Tucked away on a private 4+ acre lot yet conveniently close to everything the Lakes Region has to offer, this charming three-bedroom home invites you to slow down and settle into nature. From the moment you arrive, the setting feels peaceful and expansive, surrounded by open yard space, wooded privacy, and the gentle, ever-present sounds of Dolloff Brook. Just steps from the home, a small waterfall spills into a tranquil pond that feeds directly into Lake Wicwas, creating a rare backyard oasis where kayaking, wildlife watching, and quiet outdoor moments unfold naturally.
Despite its secluded feel, the location couldn’t be more convenient. Set just off Route 104, the home offers easy access to the Lakes Region, with downtown Meredith and I-93 both just seven minutes away. You’ll enjoy the freedom to explore restaurants, shops, lakes, and attractions by day, then return to a setting that feels a world apart—quiet, private, and deeply calming.
Inside, the home opens with warm hardwood floors and a welcoming layout designed for both gathering and relaxation. The main living spaces flow easily from one room to the next, making it just as comfortable for lively family game nights as it is for quiet evenings spent unwinding together. Fireplaces in the home are decorative only. The kitchen is thoughtfully equipped with stainless steel appliances and connects seamlessly to the living areas, while a formal dining room provides a dedicated space for shared meals and long conversations. A bonus sitting room offers a peaceful retreat of its own and leads to a charming three-season porch—an ideal spot for morning coffee or unwinding as the light fades at the end of the day. A convenient half bath completes the main level.
Upstairs, three generously sized bedrooms provide calm, comfortable spaces to rest and recharge, accompanied by a full bathroom that serves the upper floor. Each room feels intentionally designed for comfort, offering a quiet place to retreat after full days of exploring or relaxing outdoors.
The outdoor space is just as inviting as the interior. With expansive yard areas, wooded surroundings, and the soothing presence of the brook, the property encourages you to spend time outside—whether it’s enjoying the stillness, watching wildlife, or carrying kayaks across the street and under the bridge for direct access to Lake Wicwas during the summer months. Parking is easy with a large driveway space accommodating up to six vehicles. The garage is not available for guest access.
Your host, Patricia, or a trusted local co-host is always available by message or text if needed, while fully respecting your privacy. The goal is simple: to give you the space to unplug, unwind, and feel completely at home, with support nearby should anything arise.
When you’re ready to explore, you’ll find no shortage of local favorites nearby. From classic breakfasts at George’s Diner to lakeside dining at Town Docks and Lakehouse Grille, casual waterfront meals at The Breeze, Italian comfort food at Lago, and local brews at Kettlehead Tavern & Brewery, the area offers something for every taste. Attractions abound as well—from Lake Winnipesaukee and Mount Washington Cruises to Gunstock Mountain, Meredith Town Docks, Mill Falls Marketplace, Castle in the Clouds, scenic railroads, live theater, and family-friendly destinations like Funspot.
Whether you’re here for outdoor adventure, quiet reflection, or meaningful time with family and friends, this home offers the perfect balance of accessibility and seclusion—an inviting Lakes Region retreat designed for slowing down and reconnecting.

🐾 Dog-Friendly Property This is a dog-friendly home, and we love hosting well-behaved pups! To keep the space comfortable for all guests, only 2 dogs are permitted (no cats or other pets).
Please let us know in advance if you’ll be bringing a dog, and be sure to add them to the reservation, as the pet fee applies per dog. Any additional dogs must be approved in advance. ✅ Good News! Your stay includes coverage for accidental damage and mishaps. We take your safety and security seriously, and this property has special local compliance requirements of a signed rental agreement and ID verification. To make this easy for you, we use a secure and very simple, app-free platform called Happy Guest. It is not an app, and you do not have to sign up for an account — it’s a safe and secure website. It also gives you a guest portal with all the info about the home and all of my favorite local spots.

Loved the property. It had lots of extras. My kids loved the espresso maker, the wild turkeys roaming the grounds, the blankets to curl up with on the couch, the fire pit. It was a little hard to find the turn off but once located all was fine. Beautiful yard.

It was a pleasure hosting you, and I’d love to welcome you back anytime!
A lovely house, perfect for the family gathering we had of 3 couples and 2 toddlers. We did a lot of meal prep and the kitchen was up to the task. There were some children's toys available which were a real bonus and delighted our little boys. We loved the privacy and the nice landscaping. The host was very responsive. It's a really nice home base for enjoying lakes and woods in NH.
