About this property

Lakefront Winnisquam Cottage with dock & boat ramp

Classic lake cottage, steps from Lake Winnisquam with a deck, dock, boat ramp and lots of water toys onsite. The cottage retains its original lake character but with updates like huge windows facing the lake, AC and internet. Your hosts live onsite on the other side of the property, available if needed. Our other rental home is right across the boat ramp, if you need more space - check out our other listing too Property ID 2634483. The water toys, kayaks and SUPs provided as well as the waterfront area is shared by both properties. Our boat is on one side of the dock, you will have an entire side of the dock for your boat and shared use of the boat launch ramp. For the high season, the cottage rents weekly from Friday to Friday. Outside of that there is a 3 nite minimum, checkin days Friday and Monday. We are pet friendly. Be sure to let us know if smaller children or your pup is coming to stay - the house fairies often leave treats! This years Laconia Motorcycle Week is from June 13 through 21. These popular dates will sell out! Property holds an absolute max of 4 adults, if you are a larger group, check out our other rental.

THE PROPERTY

Perfect location for a couple alone or with a couple of kids. The space is small, but functions well. The two queen bedrooms adjoin each other and the bathroom so the group needs to be OK with that shared space. There are 5 steps to enter then all on one floor. Two A/C window units, two freestanding heaters and baseboard heat keep you comfy. Free Wi-Fi and cable, flatscreen TV in the living area. Tv with DVD player and movies in main bedroom. Kitchen has all the basic cooking utensils, plates, etc. Range, refrigerator, coffee maker (Keurig and drip), toaster and microwave. The bathroom has a small stall shower. A propane grill is ready on the patio. Fire pit by the water! Four kayaks and two SUPs are shared with our associated rental unit plus many, many inflatable water toys. Bring your boat, the dock is 40’ and the rental comes with space for one boat up to 25’ and you can use our ramp to launch. (Dock avalable mid May through end of September). Parking for two cars is available near the cottage, and there is parking for guests or trailer in our lot just across the street.

They were so kind and considerate, always available to communicate when needed, and overall amazing hosts. The home was very clean and well maintained, as well as the outdoor space and dock. We are already planning to book again! For a couple and a dog, along with some day time guests, it exceeded our expectations.

Wonderful start to the summer

We stayed during bike week 2025, unintentionally. It was not a problem with noise of the bikes. The property was well cared for and had ample lawn space. The dock was perfect and boat ramp fine for our boat. It is your typical New England camp, which is what my husband and I grew up with. The two queen sized beds and a shower is all we really needed as we were on the lakes most of the time! Karen was a very kind host.

Delightful cottage on the lake

Wonderful stay. Cute, cozy cottage right on the lake. I was looking for a comfortable place to enjoy a few days of relaxing, reading, and watching the activity on the lake. The cottage has great spaces for that both outside and inside. Karen was super accommodating, attentive, and available without being intrusive. Highly recommend!

My wife and I recently returned from a 6 night stay at the property. Our visit exceeded our expectations. The cottage and grounds were exceptionally clean. The cottage had everything we need for a great stay ! The on-site boat launch with dock and pet friendly property were definitely a deciding factor when we booked our trip.
