Every space has been completely updated with modern finishes while maintaining a warm, welcoming feel. Outside, enjoy total privacy with no neighbors in sight, tree swings for the kids, a sledding hill in winter, and hiking trails at the end of the road. Whether you’re hosting a holiday, planning a ski weekend, or settling in for a summer lake stay, this home is built for making unforgettable memories.

We’re drawn to homes that offer space, privacy, and easy access to the outdoors, and we take pride in making sure every stay feels easy and well cared for. Hosting allows us to share one of our favorite areas of New Hampshire with families and groups looking to relax, reconnect, and enjoy everything the Lakes Region has to offer.
Why they chose this property
We chose this area of Gilford for its unique combination of privacy and proximity. It feels peaceful and tucked away, yet you’re just minutes from Lake Winnipesaukee, Gunstock Mountain, hiking trails, concerts, and town amenities. We love that guests can enjoy quiet mornings surrounded by nature and still be close to skiing, boating, dining, and entertainment throughout the year.
