Welcome to our year-round, waterfront house with the protection of a small cove AND beautiful views across Alton Bay. There is 108 feet of private waterfront with a U-shaped dock for two boats (up to 26 feet) with swimming off the end and sandy bottom. The cove provides a perfect area for swimming, kayaking, canoeing, etc. out of the hustle and bustle of the open lake. A beautiful bluestone patio abuts the shore.
The three bedroom home comfortably sleeps ten (one bedroom with two twin trundle beds sleeps four, two bedrooms with a queen bed in each, walkout basement suite with 2 foldaway cots, sleeper sofa). The entire front of the house has an open floor plan with kitchen, dining area, and living room opening to the wrap-around deck and lake. The house was gutted and luxuriously appointed during the winter 2008. We use the home frequently and pride ourselves in offering a clean and thoughtfully equipped rental. TOWELS AND LINENS are provided for a truly turnkey vacation experience.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
We are a very active family and love all there is to do in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire. In the summer we enjoy the lovely cove with our beautiful view of Alton Bay. We have a motorboat which we use to explore the islands, shorefront, different towns and restaurants on the lake. We love to water ski, tube, swim, kayak and jump on the water trampoline. In the winter, we are 10 minutes from Gunstock rec area with 51 Trails and over 220 acres to ski. We also like to ice skate and snowmobile.
Why the Owner Chose Alton Bay
Our house is located on a small, deep cove (approx 10 feet deep). The cove provides sheltered swimming, kayaking, etc from the boating action on the lake, yet you are right on Alton Bay with water access to all Lake Winnipesaukee has to offer. By boat, the town of Alton is 5 minutes south, Wolfeboro is 15 minutes across the lake, Weirs beach is about 30 minutes North, Meredith and Center Harbor are about 40 minutes North.
The Unique Benefits of this House
The house is luxuriously appointed with lots of exterior deck, dock and patio space so everyone can find a quite spot if they want. When everyone wants to get together, there is plenty of room inside the house, on the deck, patio or dock.

EXCELLENT VACATION AND BEAUTIFUL HOME

My family and I stayed at this home in 08/11. We loved it. The home was cozy and the view of the lake was spectacular. The house was fully equipped with everything you could ask for and the owner was friendly, warm and generous in his offerings. The photos did not do the house justice and I would definately recommend the property to anyone - except for the week we want it. We have been to Alton Bay six times now and this house was wonderful. We will be coming back every year, if possible, and we always want to stay here. I love this house and the owner was wonderful. Please do not hesitate to stay here!!!!
Owner response:Bill, it was great to meet you and your family/friends! I am so glad you had a nice time. I have tried to capture the essence of the house and location in pictures, but I have been told by many guests that it is even nicer than they thought. I look forward to seeing you in the future.

In June 2011, we and 3 other adult couples on a motorcycle vacation had the good fortune and pleasure of staying at this property. The home was beautiful and in immaculate condition. In fact, the pictures on the website do not begin to show the excellent condition and cleanliness of the home. The home is located on the lakefront with a nice deck and boat dock on a rather secluded cove which was very quiet and peaceful yet it is close to stores and several nice restaurants. This home is perfect for families with children in terms of its design as well as a beach for swimming with the use of a water trampoline and plastic kayaks. The owner could not have been more accommodating while never being intrusive. We would recommend this property to anyone.

Absolutely amazing home and fantastic owner to work with.

I rented this house in mid-june as a getaway to propose to my girlfriend. From the moment I e-mailed the owner he was incredibly helpful with completing the rental, answering my questions, and even assisting with making sure the proposal went without a hitch. The house is completely renovated and the pictures do not show how beauitful this house actually is. Every little detail of the house is just right. There is plenty of room for people. The house has perfect views of the lake from nearly every room. This is just the perfect place to relax. We made good use of the lake. Since the house is in a protected cove we were able to swim, kayak, and even use the trampoline without any problems. The beds and linens provided were very comfortable. The kitchens are fully stocked. There are two great living rooms and three nice patios. There is a large dining table, great for a group meal. Everything in the house is precisely labeled, which makes the stay a lot easier. The owner has thought of everything. I recommend this place for any type of group looking for a pleasant lake stay. And for any future renters, be sure to make use of the fantastic shower during your stay!!
Owner response:Thanks Hans, Congratulations on your engagement and I am glad you enjoyed your stay!
