Perfect location for a couple alone or with a couple of kids. The space is small, but functions well.

Kitchen has all the basic cooking utensils, plates, etc. Range, refrigerator, coffee maker (Keurig and drip), toaster and microwave. The bathroom has a small stall shower. A propane grill is ready on the patio. Fire pit by the water! Four kayaks and two SUPs are shared with our associated rental unit plus many, many inflatable water toys. Bring your boat, the dock is 40’ and the rental comes with space for one boat up to 25’ and you can use our ramp to launch. (Dock avalable mid May through end of September). Parking for two cars is available near the cottage, and there is parking for guests or trailer in our lot just across the street.

Owners that go above and beyond
Karen and John were amazing hosts! The house was just perfect for our little family and small dog. We were greeted with fun activity books, sidewalk chalk and bubbles for my daughter… a bottle of wine, fire wood, fixings for s’mores and even a new toy for my dog! They were attentive, available when we needed them and so very kind to me and my family. The kayaks and water toys kept my daughter entertained for hours. We were able to bring our boat and had our own dock space for the entire time we were there. Everything about our stay at this property was perfect. Thank you Karen and John for your hospitality and making us feel so welcome. Our vacation was just as we hoped it would be! We hope to see you again next year.

Just as good the second time.
We fell in love with the location and view when we visited the cottage two summers ago. The second time did not disappoint. In addition to all that the lake has to offer, the beautiful White Mountains are less than an hour away. And the hosts are wonderful!

Location!!
The location of this home is perfect. Views from the deck and the master bedroom are amazing. The beach is large and gradual and would be great for kids. The owners are on site and the best - they offered help with anything we might have needed. The home is perfect for a couple or a couple and 2 children. 2 AC units and numerous ceiling fans were so nice to have. We hope to stay again next year. Highly recommend!

Great location. Near everything. Karen and John are great hosts and very responsive when needed (not often). House was clean with everything you may need. Groceries, ice cream, takeout are all within 2 miles. Short trip trip to Laconia and Meredith. Loved being on the "no wake" area of the lake since we have a small boat and we could keep it at the dock without worrying about it banging into the dock. Great for fishing. My husband caught several small mouth - biggest was 3.11 not far from the house. Will definitely be back. Thanks Karen and John

My wife and I recently returned from a 6 night stay at the property. Our visit exceeded our expectations. The cottage and grounds were exceptionally clean. The cottage had everything we need for a great stay ! The on-site boat launch with dock and pet friendly property were definitely a deciding factor when we booked our trip. Thanks to Karen and John for sharing their beautiful property. Looking forward to staying next year !!

Love the little touches
The cottage was small compared to other places we've stayed but had everything we needed, so no complaints. We arrived to find little snacks and toys (chalk, water gun, water toy, bubbles) for my 5 year old which she loved. There was also a bottle of wine, pancake mix/syrup and all the smores fixings! The owners were around and very pleasant, the water/driveway/kayaks etc as noted are shared with the owners and nextdoor rental, thankfully ours were lovely, but if you arent into sharing it may not be for you. The area was cute, we took a few neighborhood walks, went to the nearby farm, walked to the country store/ice cream and mostly hung around the water/cottage. Lots of dining and grocery stores nearby. When we visited the water was high so there was no beach, but the water is shallow very far out so we didnt miss it. Would definitely recommend!

Great short stay!
My wife and I wanted a nice place on the water for a short mid-summer getaway. After looking at options, we decided to book this cottage on the shore of Lake Winnisquam. Our hosts, Karen and John, were great from the time we booked until the time we left. They live on the property so they are there whenever you need something, but they are not there policing your every move. They were the best hosts we have encountered in our many years of VRBO renting. The instruction book in the cottage was extremely helpful and covered everything including local restaurants and activities. The location and the setting of this cottage was exactly what we wanted. It was fully equipped, very clean and the views we so relaxing. This is a classic lakefront cottage that has some updates like a/c and large windows and a slider that overlooks the lake. We had our dog with us and Karen and John had bowls, blankets and a few toys for our four-legged buddy. We hope to return sometime in the future.

Perfect Location, Great Price
My husband and I absolutely loved the cottage and the location. The owners provided everything we needed (towels, beach towels, doggie towel, dog bowls, etc.). They even left a very tasty bottle of wine, smores, and pancake mix with syrup which was much appreciated. The mattresses are VERY comfortable! Our only issue was with the neighbors who were renting the property next door. The beach area is shared and they had a very large party of adults with 3 young kids and 3 dogs. We never had privacy outside and we never got to swim or relax outside without feeling like someone was watching us. Without them there it would have been the perfect vacation.

Little piece of heaven
The cottage was homey and had everything we needed. There was a bottle of wine, ingredients for smores and pancake mix and syrup waiting for us. My favorite activity was watching birds on the lake early in the morning when it was quiet. It was a bit chilly and rainy for our week so we didnt play in the water but there were lots of toys on site. I would definitely stay here again.

It was exactly what we wanted, a simple cozy cottage steps from the water that was dog friendly for a relaxing weekend. We grilled dinners, dog walked, kayaked, drank coffee lakeside on the deck in the mornings and had drinks by the firepit while watching the sunset in the evenings. Our hosts were so welcoming and accommodating. We enjoyed ourselves very much and were grateful for a perfect weather weekend!

This simple yet very comfortable lakeside cottage was just perfect. Expansive windows give an unobstructed view of the lake. And the owners gave every attention to detail. From a bottle of wine to the ingredients for s’mores to pancake mix and NH maple syrup to doggie treats, they seemed to have thought of everything. We could not have asked for a nicer experience.
