About this house rental
Summary:
Come back to yesteryear with a vacation in this charming cottage on Lake Winnipesaukee. This rustic home boasts a knotty pine interior, a combination living/dining room with a fully functional kitchen, and two bedrooms and a bathroom on the first level. The loft offers a lovely vantage point of the lake and a comfortable spot to rest your head after a busy day of boating, swimming, and sunbathing. You will also enjoy a large beach and picnic area with beautiful views at the Ellacoya State Park, only about three miles west of the cottage on Rte.
The Space:
11; bring your camera for those sunsets! The 30' screened porch overlooking the water's edge is the perfect spot for playing board games with family members, reading, doing crossword puzzles, and recharging from the hectic pace of everyday life.

Lake view is stunning!
10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2026
We timed the weather well and had a fantastic stay at this little rustic cabin. The lake access and view from the back porch are just awesome...we're missing that view every day. If you want modern amenities, namely A/C, this is not the cabin for you. The central location between Alton Bay, Laconia, and Gilford is great with many good food options. The zip line adventure at Gunstock, which is only about 10 minutes away from this cabin, was breathtaking. Overall, we really enjoyed are stay here, and highly recommend it for the right renter.

The house was rustic and had plenty of space for 6 adults to find privacy. The porch and dock were the best to enjoy the scenery. We absolutely loved our stay!
6 / 10Average·Jul 2026
Overall our stay went well!The views and water access were incredible! Prime location with a short drive to the center along with Wolfeboro and Laconia! Quiet street and the neighbors were very friendly.The house itself is where the listing falls short. Upon first arrival the house was clean with fresh towels and linens. After a little bit you start to notice lots of cobwebs on light fixtures and in bathroom, old birds nests on the porch, dirty furniture, dust caked fans etc. The house has absolutely no insulation and no air conditioning so on a hot day the house turns into an oven reaching 90 inside temp on one day. Fortunately they do provide you with a good amount of small fans but those weren’t even enough. We brought three of our own and it was still rough.Definitely not a place for young children as the back of the house is literally sitting on a giant rock. A good section of the back stairs railings to deck was lifting with nails sticking out. One whole section of railing missing that enables access to the edge of the giant rock into the water so be careful if you have young children or pets.The back porch, dock, and view 10/10The house 4/10
