About this property

Lake Winnipesaukee | Pet Friendly | Fire Pit

  • A luxury Adirondack-style lake retreat made for gathering and unwinding. Game nights flow into grilling on the deck, mornings start with quiet coffee and peekaboo lake views from private balconies, and days unfold between shared spaces and cozy corners. With room for 12, plenty of beds, and spaces for connection or quiet, this peaceful retreat offers the perfect balance of togetherness, comfort, and lake living.
    Days here feel full and easy, the kind that begin with coffee and quiet light and end with laughter around the fire. This spacious, 3-story Adirondack-style retreat wraps you in warmth the moment you settle in. Five bedrooms stretch across the home, filled with soft beds and peaceful spaces to rest, three of them opening to private balconies where mornings and evenings belong to you alone.

    The kitchen becomes the heartbeat of the house. Wide open counters, and big gathering tables turn every meal into a shared moment, from slow breakfasts to long dinners that don’t feel rushed. Conversations carry from the dining table into the living room, where a stone fireplace, warm wood tones, and cozy seating invite everyone to gather, unwind, and stay awhile.

    Downstairs, the game room pulls everyone in. Pool games, relaxed conversations, late nights, and easy laughter fill the space while the rest of the house hums with comfort and calm. Outside, the rhythm changes again. The screened porch becomes a favorite retreat. The deck fills with grilling and gathering. The firepit glows as stories stretch into the night. Adirondack details and quiet surroundings give everything a sense of place and peace.

    Across the street, Lake Winnipesaukee is alive with activity from boaters to snowmobilers. A walkable, quiet neighborhood street for slow strolls creating that feeling of being close to everything without being crowded by anything. Dog-friendly, kid-friendly, designed for groups, and built for memory-making, this isn’t just a house for sleeping. It’s a place for connection, celebration, rest, and real moments that linger long after the stay ends.

Main bummer was total lack of access to the lake. The new “residents only” stipulations should be on the listing. Parking anywhere has become a stink show. When did being a guest become a persona non grata?

The good, the bad, and the ugly.

We stayed for 5 days as a family of 8. Plenty of room and beds. Kitchen large but had ants. Upon arrival without garage lights at night, it was difficult. Inside there were piles of dead ants on the LR floor. Host installed wall lights and sent cleaners for floors dead ants and sent ant traps for kitchen. Upstairs bathroom leaked through the ceiling to the LR Floor.Host mentioned I was nitpicking. Hmmm. 3 grills mentioned in description. Only one worked. All very dirty. This property will work but needs more attention to detail. Upgrade cleaners and fix issues, and it might work.
