Classic lake cottage, steps from Lake Winnisquam with a deck, dock, boat ramp and lots of water toys onsite. The cottage retains its original lake character but with updates like huge windows facing the lake, AC and internet. Your hosts live onsite on the other side of the property, available if needed. Our other rental home is right across the boat ramp, if you need more space - check out our other listing too Property ID 2634483. The water toys, kayaks and SUPs provided as well as the waterfront area is shared by both properties. Our boat is on one side of the dock, you will have an entire side of the dock for your boat and shared use of the boat launch ramp. For the high season, the cottage rents weekly from Friday to Friday. Outside of that there is a 3 nite minimum, checkin days Friday and Monday. We are pet friendly. Be sure to let us know if smaller children or your pup is coming to stay - the house fairies often leave treats! This years Laconia Motorcycle Week is from June 13 through 21.

THE PROPERTY
Perfect location for a couple alone or with a couple of kids. The space is small, but functions well. The two queen bedrooms adjoin each other and the bathroom so the group needs to be OK with that shared space. There are 5 steps to enter then all on one floor. Two A/C window units, a minisplit unit and two freestanding heaters and baseboard heat keep you comfy. Free Wi-Fi and cable, flatscreen TV in the living area. Tv with DVD player and movies in main bedroom. 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.

We had a great stay! Karen and John were gracious hosts and the location right on the lake is wonderful! They also had an array of kayaks, floats, paddle boards, etc. for our use. The cottage could use some updates and the shower was a bit small, but overall we had a wonderful vacation!
My husband and I just returned from the waterfront vintage cottage. Very clean property and amazing views. Daily visits from loons and ducks and a busy beaver. Such fun to watch and so peaceful! There was a bottle of wine and new dog toy for Finley upon our arrival. Karen and John are amazing hosts. Would definitely rent from them again.Location can't be beat.
House was very cozy and well-located right on the lake. Karen and John were super hosts…very accommodating and flexible, helped up with a TV issue, made great suggestions for things to do and places to go. Really great.
Everything was perfect with our stay, property was very clean and organized. We have stayed in the past and will plan again in the future! Host was very responsive and available when needed.
Everything we needed was there!! We have been coming up to that area for years and love it. It’s easy access to the stores and highway make it a perfect place to stay! We had a four year old with us and the owners made sure there was plenty for her to play with and do! The week was awesome!Thank Karen & John
Location, location, location. This charming lakefront cottage was the perfect stay for my wife and I and our dog. The house had all the amenities we needed. And the location provides easy access to all the major local attractions.
We had a wonderful time staying at the cottage. It is just the right size for 2-4 people. It has a great location and water access. Very quiet area. The hosts were very nice. We will definitely be staying there again. The Allens
The cabin was cute and clean. It fit what we needed perfectly as we were there for a sporting event and to explore the area. Unfortunately the weather didnt cooperate withbus to be able to use the amenities provided (it was cold and rainy while we visited).
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!
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 !!
This lake house was the perfect getaway! The beautiful views, cozy atmosphere, and peaceful surroundings made it an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend it! 🏞️🏡✨
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!
We stayed during bike week 2025, unintentionally. It was not a problem with noise of the bikes. The property was well cared for and had ample lawn space. The dock was perfect and boat ramp fine for our boat. It is your typical New England camp, which is what my husband and I grew up with. The two queen sized beds and a shower is all we really needed as we were on the lakes most of the time! Karen was a very kind host.
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
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.
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.
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!
We had a wonderful stay! The cottage was very clean, welcoming, and comfortable from the moment we arrived. It had everything we needed for a relaxing visit.
We had a wonderful stay! The cottage was cute, comfortable, and had plenty of room for the two of us and our small dog. Karen was excellent with communication and made everything easy from start to finish. We would definitely stay here again and look forward to returning in the future.
Hosts were very accommodating, friendly, and always ready to make our stay hassle-free. House was right on the lake, making it ideal for viewing incredible sunsets. House was very clean and uniquely decorated, making for a cozy stay.
Cabin was just perfect - had all the needed amenities and was wonderful for a couple looking for a lakeside break. Convenient location, would definitely go back.
