Breathtaking views of the lake and gorgeous sunsets from the wrap around deck/dock and point. Loads of sunshine! Views of the lake from just about every room in the house. Horseshoe Pits on property. At night gather around the Large fire pit with chairs right on the waters edge, cook dinner over an open wood flame or just reflect on the days events.. Excellent golf courses nearby.

If you would like to bring your own boat let us know and we can arrange for you to use our private launch. (call for details and restrictions). No Wave runners or Jet skis. Come join us in the fall for the foliage, campfires and cool crisp nights.

About the host

Hosted by John Prescott

Host profile image
Co-owners for 11 years. We lived in our sweet home for 4 years prior to a major renovation to the house itself. We took our home to a year-round rental in July, 2009 and have thoroughly enjoyed the experience and learning about our yearly new and returning renters. Currently we reside year round in New Hampshire with the exception of the few weeks we enjoy at our house during the various seasons. It is our respite, our quiet, tranquil, relaxing get away from the hustle & bustle of suburban life. We love it here & we know you will too!

Why they chose this property

Quiet, peaceful private lake.

What makes this property unique

What we truly love about our home is the sunsets from our waterfront deck or walking out to our point on our 3.75 acres for conversation, a beverage, the breeze, and the sun set!
On a crisp morning, the steam arising off the lake is breath-taking.
No sunset or early morning sunrise is ever the same. The northern lights are incredible. A starry night lying on the deck to watch the shooting stars is a show in itself.
And lest we forget to mention the waterfowl, the baby ducklings in the spring, the beavers, the otters, and the incredible loons with their eerie calls. We've been fortunate enough to see a baby loon with his very protective parents; it was beautiful!!
