About this property

Lakefront Camp/Cabin/Cottage for Family Fun on Balch Lake!


Escape to a beautiful lakeside camp/cabin/cottage tucked among the towering white pines and birch trees on the shores of Balch Lake. Wake up to the sound of loons calling across the water and sip your morning coffee from the wrap around porch, watching the sunrise sparkle on the lake’s surface.

Spend your days fishing, or taking a refreshing swim in the crystal-clear water with floating swim dock included. Explore the lake by rowboat, canoe, or kayak gliding past hidden inlets teeming with wildlife. When you return, relax in the hammock with a good book, letting the gentle lap of waves and rustling pines lull you into perfect tranquility.

This senior- and kid-friendly property features a gentle slope to a sandy front beach with two docks just yards from the cottage.

Inside, the private, semi-secluded cottage sleeps six comfortably, offering:

Two bedrooms (1 with a double bed, and other with two twin beds). A loft also includes a double bed.

Living room includes a wood burning stove to keep you warm on cold nights!

Full kitchen and dining area.

Enjoy modern conveniences like Wi-Fi, Smart TV, coffee maker, Weber charcoal grill, and a fully stocked kitchen (guests provide their own meals), bath towels, bed linens, firewood, and even a rowboat, 3 kayaks, and two canoes are included.

Only an hour’s drive from the ocean or a scenic ride to the White Mountains, this cottage is the perfect base for both relaxation and outdoor adventure.

Please note: The cottage has some insulation but no central heat or air conditioning. The wood burning stove warms the living room beautifully, and space heaters are provided for cool evenings. Fans are provided for cooling.

No smoking or pets, please.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
This cottage is beautifully tucked away in a secluded lake cove, offering maximum peace in the evening and stunning views. The place was clean. The kitchen has a lot of stuff like a coffee maker, a toaster oven, a microwave... To turn on lights in the kitchen you should reach out behind the microwave Beds were comfy for us. We spent hours outside swimming, fishing, kayaking. The water is very clear and nice. A lot of fish. We used 2 kayaks and a canoe, they are in excellent condition. There are plenty of fans/heaters. We haven't used any. Check-in and check-out were a breeze, and communication with the owner was fantastic from start to finish. Highly recommend for a lakeside getaway!"
