Or just relax & stay right at home all week! This lake house is 2,500 square feet and is set up with plenty of beds and sleeping space for your entire family.
You can step out the back door and swim/fish off your own private dock. There is a boating dock as well as a floating swim pad for you to enjoy. The neighborhood beach is just 2 lots away from the lake house if you are looking for a sandy beach.

This home has everything you will need for your vacation. Everyone can sit down together at the large family table in the dining room or spread out in the various rooms & hang out. The sun porch is an amazing place to drink your coffee in the morning and watch the sunrise on the lake. There is a beautiful back porch/deck with teakwood dining area for your family to relax and enjoy the lake views or cocktails at sunset.

The sleeping spaces are: 1st Bedroom: Queen bed. 2nd bedroom: Queen bed. 3rd Bedroom: 2 twin beds. 4th bedroom 2- sets of bunks and the bottom bunk on both are full size beds. (so that room alone can sleep 6 or more people)
5th room: Futon and space for air mattress if needed. 6th area that could be used for sleeping has a small pull out couch and the living room and enclosed sun porch are roomy enough for an air mattress.

There’s plenty of parking for your guests, a full size washer and dryer, dish washer and fully stocked kitchen for all your cooking needs. We’ve got you covered with all the basics plus a crockpot, kitchen aide mixer, blender for your frozen cocktails, food processor, charcoal grill, and a full set up to serve a New England lobster dinner! Take out the canoe or 2 kayaks & do some fishing or just sit and listen to the loons call, and after dark you’ll enjoy s’mores and stargazing around the fire pit. This is the place to make memories! Don’t wait! The weeks will fill quickly once the word is out on this newly listed home.

Fantastic home and location
Our multi-generational family group had a wonderful time! We enjoyed swimming, kayaking and floating every day, as well as watching the sunsets and the moon shining over the water, and s'mores by the fire. The house is big and clean, and the kitchen was well stocked. Our host was very responsive and communicative. We will be back!

Lake visit
The property was excellent. We had nine people. It was very comfortable a lot of room for everybody. We were able to do our own thing and not bump into each other. The view of the lake was excellent. The house had a lot of amenities that we were able to use I would definitely stay here again.

Enjoy the lake lifestyle
The property was located in a quiet secluded neighborhood. The home was welcoming and cozy. The view of the lake is outstanding both in the am fog and the setting of the sun across the lake in the evening. Amenities were all maintained and in good working order. Overall a great choice.

About the host

Hosted by Maryann Hughes

Host profile image
We are Keith & Maryann Hughes & we’re SO happy to share our beautiful lakefront NH home with you. We absolutely love New England for so many reasons...cool summer nights, colorful fall foliage, snowy mountains and spring maple sugar season~ YUM! But for us, New Hampshire is all about family. We met & fell in love at the University of New Hampshire. Our babies were born at Exeter hospital. Our first home was in Raymond, NH, and our hearts have been longing to return since 2001 when we moved first to Ohio and then to Georgia in 2016.

In the spring of 2020, we finally made it home! We recently purchased this home from a family that has owned & loved it since the 50’s when it was first built. This incredible lakefront home has been loved & enjoyed for many years and it is truly a special place with its natural pine interior, fabulous views of crystal lake, large deck, private dock & fire pit. We’re excited to begin making memories back in NH. It’s our dream come true and we are thrilled to share it with you.

Enjoy exploring all that NH has to offer. We hope you fall in love too!

What makes this property unique

This beautiful lakefront property is roomy and cozy year round. Perfect for your family to enjoy time together and enjoy lake life all year round. In the summer, enjoy use of the canoe and NEW this year- 2 kayaks!
