Mount Washington, Franconia Notch and hundreds of other tourist sites are close by for a daytrip. Lifelong resident hosts are available to help plan your individual itinerary.

Lake Amenities: Lake Spofford is known for its Bass and Great Northern Pike fishing. Swimming in the crystal clear water is wonderful. Private, 50’ waterfront located in front of cottage across Rt. 63. The road runs between the row of cottages and the shore at this point. Modern, private dock accommodates your boat, jet skis, etc. along with our 4 kayaks and a paddleboat. Dog friendly, sit-in kayaks are new for 2025. The State boat launch is a 5 minute commute across the lake. Pierce Island State Park, with abundant blueberry bushes, is just 800 feet from our waterfront. Our screened porch provides views of beautiful sunrises over the sparkling lake water.

Parking: There is one front parking spot across the road from the cottage, just above the waterfront. There is parking for 4-5 more cars just off of the back road behind the cottage. Further parking for your boat trailers and/or ATV haulers is located further uphill.

Location: Historic, spring-fed Spofford Lake is located 9 miles west of Keene, NH and 7 miles east of Brattleboro, VT, along Rt 9 & Rt 63, in the Monadnock Region. Lake Spofford received the State’s highest rating for clean water in 2005.

Due to the close proximity of neighboring cottages, we would request that noise be kept to a minimum, i.e. please do not play loud music. Local zoning does not allow fireworks in the neighborhood but areas across the lake often host private displays.
A quiet, wooded, half-mile gravel roadway up in back can be a delightful way to exercise your dog.
There is no telephone at the cottage. The owners use cell phones.
