About this property

Lakefront Cottage with Lighthouse and Dock on Lake Winnipesaukee

Enjoy a family vacation at the Lake in the privacy of your own cottage relaxing on a wide front porch beside the water's edge or on one of the secluded side decks or spacious docks. The property is conveniently located yet surprisingly private. The 1934 camp has been upgraded to offer modern amenities while preserving its vintage charm. Enjoy 200 ft of private shoreline, lighthouse, dock, and swimming area.

Upstairs there are 3 bedrooms and a bathroom. Two of bedrooms have king-size tempurpedic beds and the third has a full-size bed. There's also a pullout couch on the first floor. The first floor has a beautiful kitchen, a spacious living room, large, glassed-in/screened-in porch, an outdoor grilling deck off the kitchen and a second outdoor deck on the opposite side of the house so you can enjoy sun or shade any time of the day. The kitchen is fully equipped with dishwasher, range and refrigerator. There is a washer and dryer in the basement.

Located on Lake Winnipesaukee, New Hampshire's largest lake, and only minutes away from many superb restaurants and attractions of the Lakes Region. Nearby attractions include Weir's Beach - a large sandy beach and boardwalk and home of MS Mount Washington cruise ship, Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion - an outdoor concert amphitheater, and Gunstock Mountain - a recreational area where you can experience a zipline tour, mountain coaster, and scenic lift rides.

We absolutely loved our stay in this special spot. This was our first time to the area and we couldn’t have been happier. We rented a boat and enjoyed the ease of getting out on the water.

We had a wonderful week staying in Paugus Bay! This super cool property manages to maintain its historic lakeside vibe, while being in the heart of the action. It is private, quiet, yet a stone’s throw from Weirs Beech, tourist attractions, and plenty of great restaurants. This cottage is a classic lakeside home, but with modern updates in the kitchen and bathroom that made it super comfortable. It specializes in a number of small, outdoor environments to unwind and pass the time with two decks adjacent to the house, and an amazing deck/dock to drink coffee in the morning, and wind down against the backdrop of amazing sunsets to close out the day! We rented a speedboat nearby at Irwin Marine and had kayaks dropped off as well. Both were easy. There is a small, sandy beach, which was great for kids. Our host communicated comfortably and with clear, easy to understand instructions regarding check-in, check out, as well as areas of interest, locally. It is easy to recommend this place. We would love to return!

Owners were very responsive and helpful, couldn’t have asked for better! Great house in a quiet area, plenty of room to relax on the various patio’s & deck. The only challenge is the the one bathroom but hey, we had fun “assigning” bathroom time slots!

Wonderful stay, again!

Our third summer stay at Brian and Elizabeth's lakefront home was just as we'd hoped. We love the water, the dock with dining area, the porch with gorgeous sunsets, the large kitchen, and very comfortable bedrooms. The owners are very responsive (quickly attending to a missing remote), are thoughtful with amenities for guests, and are friendly, wonderful people. Always wish we could stay longer!

The right place

It was refreshing with so many condos on this lake to find a private lake house with a wonderful location and privacy all to its own . Brian and Elizabeth answer texts and were great hosts . We have enjoyed family vacations with our kids since they were small and now continue to share that with them and our three grandchildren. Would recommend.

Waterfront Delight

Our family of 6 adults enjoyed our week at this wonderful lakefront property. The docks and dining patio near the water, as well as a beach entry, make the waterfront enjoyable for everyone. Our favorite spot is the porch for dinner and sunsets. The home is very clean, updated, and comfortable, and we like the big kitchen for preparing big vacation meals. The owners are friendly and responsive, and clearly care about keeping their place in top condition. Highly recommend!

Perfect lake vacation house

My family and I had a wonderful week here. The house was well equipped and comfortable. It’s in a convenient location and felt very private even though there are condos next door. It was quiet and clean. The house has a very spacious with a large kitchen, livingroom and screen porch overlooking the lake with a perfect view of the sunset.

A Perfect Week...

My family had a wonderful time staying in this beautiful home. Super clean and comfy. Amazing lake views and access. Docks, decks and private beach were awesome. Numerous amenities. Seemed like everything we needed was right there for us. We rented a pontoon boat locally and had a blast. Owners, Brian and Elizabeth were accessbile and made sure every detail was thought through. We could see just how much this home means to them and their family and were very happy to be a part of the tradition and make some memories of our own.
