About this property
Charming Cottage - Lake Winniepesaukee, Ski, Ice Fish, Boating, 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.

About the host
Hosted by Beth
Welcome to Spring Harbor! This special property, nestled on Lake Winnipesaukee, is owned and operated by a father and his three daughters. We are experienced hosts who have been renting out Spring Harbor for over four (4) years. This year we have decided to host directly with VRBO in order to maximize our guests' experience and to provide exceptional customer service.
The Lakes Region holds a very special place in our hearts, and we are excited to share it with you. The Big Lake is perfect for gathering your family and friends for some fun in the sun, relaxation, great food and drinks, and beautiful views!
While a couple of us call Gilford home and are available to assist with any immediate onsite needs during your stay, we ask that you please contact Beth first. Beth can be reached at the phone number provided in your initial confirmation email or through the VRBO app.
We are looking forward to sharing our little piece of heaven with you. Enjoy!
