About this property
Rustic Cottage On Lake Winnisquam
Our grandparents built this cottage in the 1940's. It is an adorable camp set back from the road with parking for several cars. Plenty of trees keeping it cool. Right on the water-sit on dock and watch the sun come up. Listen to the loons. Look for the bald eagles , a nest is nearby. Sit in the screened porch and watch the boats -some with motors and others not. Firepit out front to make s'mores before bed.
Go up onto the covered entrance porch , then step into the galley style kitchen. There is a microwave, toasteroven, coffee maker, gas stove/oven and fridge. Then step into the living room where there is a couch, fireplace, tv( no reception), board games, dvd player and comfy chair. Going straight thru leads to the bathroom with shower. Turn back into the living room there are 2 doors to your left. The first bedroom has bunk beds and a double bed along with a dresser, lamp and window. The next bedroom has a queen bed, dresser , few books, lamp and 2 windows. it looks onto the entrance porch and out to parking area. Going back into living room and straight across to the full length screened in porch. Round table and rectangle table with porch chairs or metal glider to sit. Go down the steps onto the lawn, picnic table, firepit, dock and water. There is a clothesline and horseshoe pit off to the side. The water is sandy-silt bottom and gradually deepens. The shoreline has a small sandy beach beside the sloped granite bedrock to the dock, which is put in from early June to Labor Day.

About the host
Hosted by Robin Simons
My Grandfather used to hunt all this area in the 1920 when there was only one camp in the area. In the 30's this property came available and he bought it. When our Dad was a toddler there are pictures of him playing with the building material as his brother and parents built the camp. Decades later, us kids enjoyed a break from the family dairy farm in Sanbornton to come for a swim before going back to chores. Now as adults, we own this cottage with fond memories. Making more memories as we bring our kids to the family camp.
Why they chose this property
Family heritage-this place is so wonderful and peaceful. It is rustic. There is a bathroom added on. It is lake water so drinkable water needs to be brought in. The firepit out front-cook hotdogs then roast marshmallow for desert-kids running in and out of the water-just perfect. Walking or bike along Black Brook Road pleasant and beautiful.
What makes this property unique
On the water, sort of at the end of Lake Winnisquam. No tv reception but dvd player if really necessary. Bring your kayak or rent one from Winnisquam Marina or Piche's in Belmont, NH and enjoy the water. Enjoy a sunrise on the water. Listen to the loons! Watch the eagles. A quiet location but you are not far from Weirs Beach, FunSpot, Meredith, Laconia, or Tilton Outlet shops. Then back to the peaceful beauty at the camp.
