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.

Our stay at the cottage was very relaxing. The large open yard and wonderful view of the mountains was perfect for us as well as our dog. The cottage was clean and had a very comfortable bed. Communication with the manager was great from booking to check-out, we wish we could have stayed longer.

Secluded Oasis
A beautiful spot with a gorgeous view! We loved how private the house was, with lots of lawn area, grill, and a fire pit. The inside was so cozy. We really appreciated the propane fireplace since our days spent there were quite chilly. The house was spotless with nice decorative touches throughout. Really wished I had taken advantage of the inviting spa tub. Maybe next time. We will visit again.

Wonderful getaway
This was our first trip to the Lakes Region of NH and we couldn't of picked a better place to stay! The cabin in the woods was exactly what we were looking for and the location was perfect! It was a short drive to all the sights we wanted to explore and our fur babies really enjoyed being able to run around on the property and take in the fresh mountain air! The cabin was well stocked with all the amenities to be able to eat there and not having to eat out for every meal. The host was easily accessible for any questions we had and it was just an overall wonderful trip! We are already planning our visit for next year!

Absolutely amazing!
This little cottage was just what we were looking for! While the property was beautiful and secluded, it wasn't far from downtown shops and eateries or the lakes. It was incredibly clean and had everything we needed for a nice long weekend getaway (cooking supplies, linens and towels, and even the small touches like the candle by the jacuzzi tub). The bed was also very comfortable which made it had to get up in the morning. Sue and Kirk made us feel right at home, and it was nice knowing they were only a call/text away. Our little dog Cody also had a great time exploring the property. We would definitely love to come back soon!

Quiet and relaxing stay with plenty to do for the kids
We really enjoyed this house because it was away from civilization but within driving distance of things to do with the kids. We enjoyed exploring the town of Meredith, going on a scenic train ride, playing in the arcades, and going to Squam Lake Natural Science Center. If we come back to New Hampshire, we would definitely stay here again.

Disappointed
I went here with my boyfriend and senior dog. The first issue we encountered was the dirt road that was not discussed in the listing. Having a car with low profile sports tires is not ideal for a dirt road. Upon arrival, we found their pet policy, which also was not listed on VRBO. It states that the dog is not allowed on the furniture. My senior dog was very anxious on this entire trip and we were not able to leave her alone. She didn’t understand why she couldn’t come up on the bed, as she always sleeps with us. It also states that they do not want the dog to urinate on their lawn because it will kill the lawn. In my opinion, this is one of the aspects that you deal with if you are dog friendly. All of these additional restrictions on the dogs should be detailed in the listing so there are no surprises. In addition, we were unable to locate the large fields shown in a couple of pictures on the listing. The pictures made us believe there were more areas to roam around, other than the immediate yard. This was not the case. One picture showed an open field around the fire pit, but it has since severely overgrown. Unfortunately we only stayed 2 of the 3 nights that we paid for due to the upcoming hurricane. We were not interested in dealing with downed trees or flooding along the road. We did appreciate the cleanliness and quick responses of the owners (although no response was received after the issues were described). We had high hopes for this rental that were not met sadly.
