About this property

Charming Cottage - Lake Winniepesaukee water access, boat slip, dogs welcome!

Welcome to The Cottage at Spring Harbor, a beautifully designed, modern home located along the peaceful channel leading to Smith Cove on Lake Winnipesaukee. One of two homes on this stunning 2-acre waterfront property, the Cottage offers a serene lakeside retreat just 5 miles from Gunstock Mountain Resort. Enjoy the quiet beauty of the water, breathtaking sunsets, and all the modern comforts you could want in a New England getaway.

Much more than a traditional “cottage,” this home combines stylish design with a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. The open-concept kitchen and living area features stainless steel appliances, elegant countertops, a kitchen island/dining table, and large windows that fill the space with natural light and lake views.

The main floor includes a queen bedroom and a ¾ bathroom, offering easy access and comfort for guests of all ages.

Downstairs, you’ll find two additional bedrooms and a full bath:
Primary bedroom: King-size bed, sitting area, and walkout patio
Guest bedroom: Queen-size bed and twin bunk beds

Wake up to the quiet of the channel and start your day with a cup of coffee on one deck overlooking the water. In the evening, gather around the gas fire pit, grill dinner outdoors, or simply relax and enjoy the peaceful setting.

Guests have access to a shared dock with a designated boat slip (fits up to a 25-foot boat), plus four kayaks and four bicycles shared between both homes—perfect for exploring the lake and surrounding area. The Glendale Town Docks, just two minutes away, offer two public boat launch ramps, and a boat launch pass is available upon request.

Pet Policy:
We welcome one small dog per reservation (under 50 lbs). Please provide your dog’s breed and weight when booking; a pet fee applies. Cats and other animals are not permitted.

Whether you’re relaxing on the deck, paddling through the channel, or hitting the slopes at Gunstock, The Cottage at Spring Harbor offers the perfect balance of modern luxury and lakeside tranquility.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.
