About the host

Your host

Host profile image
We are NH locals living in our old farmhouse with our boys, Ryder and Jax, and Wheaten Terrier, Wrangler. We love exploring everything NH has to offer, especially skiing, hiking and boating. We have spent a lot of time in the Lake's Region and are so excited to have a spot of our own to create memories and share with others to do the same!

Why they chose this property

We quickly fell in love with this quintessential New Hampshire lakeside neighborhood. It's both vibrant and peaceful in the Summer and in the Fall / Winter it's like your own quiet oasis as neighbors are mostly seasonal.

The Lake is beautiful! It has a little bit of everything - mountain views of the Belknap range, soft sand bar and crystal-clear water.

What makes this property unique

The cabin feel is on-point with natural woodworking throughout. The yard is large enough for games and the firepit is perfect for winding down after a day on the lake. The Bunkhouse is a fun bonus for kids!
