About this property

Lake Winni Waterfront Whortleberry Island Cottage, Private Beach, BOAT Required

Welcome to 2 Whortleberry Island, our lakefront retreat on gorgeous Lake Winnipesaukee! Once you come here, you will be totally relaxed and want to come back every year! THIS IS AN ISLAND PROPERTY - BOAT REQUIRED. ALSO, TURNOVER DAY FOR CHECKING IN AND OUT AND FOR CLEANING IS MONDAY, BUT CONTACT OWNER IF SEEKING ACCOMMODATION TO THIS SCHEDULE. *

Enjoy the crystal clear waters of NH's largest lake from this house, with its expansive deck, 2 docks for your boat(s), lovely yard, and private sandy beach. This home is simply the best of "island living," as it is pure relaxation and fun, while only a quick 4-6 minute boat ride from 3 marinas, a public boat launch, a small grocery/liquor store, a wonderful restaurant and other amenities.

The house location is perfect for boating, fishing, stand up paddle boarding, kayaking, water skiing, or just sitting on our private deck, on the hammock or beach and swimming from our easy walk-in to the sandy lake bottom. The home's 180 degree views are simply stunning!

Enjoy the cozy 3 bedrooms, 1 1/2 baths, outdoor shower, and open concept living and dining room bathed in sunlight and with sweeping views of the lake. Hear the call of the loons as you wake to take in the sunrise, enjoy your coffee on the large deck, head out fishing, or wherever your day takes you. Keep an eye out for the frequent bald eagles and herons! Round out your day grilling lakeside, enjoying the fire pit for s'mores, and being serenaded by the loons at nightfall.

The kitchen is fully stocked and the dining table and table on the deck each seats 6-8.
