About this property
Lakefront Winnisquam Cottage with dock & boat ramp
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. We are pet friendly and have our own fur baby ready and willing to play. 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. These popular dates will sell out! Property holds an absolute max of 4 adults, if you are a larger group, check out our other rental.
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, 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.

Bring your boat up to 25 feet or rent one at Winnesquam Marina right down the street. In the evenings there are local pubs, music venues and shopping nearby, or just hang out by the fire pit!
What makes this property unique
Marina within walking distance or bring your boat and use our ramp. Water toys provided - shared with our second rental, 2 kayaks, floats, SUP, water trampoline, etc.
