Private Renovated 4BR Retreat Near Lake Winnipesaukee, Gunstock & Hiking Trails!
Tucked away on several private acres in the heart of the Lakes Region, this fully renovated 3,500 sq ft retreat offers the perfect balance of lake life and mountain escape. Just minutes from Lake Winnipesaukee and Gunstock Mountain, the home feels worlds away — peaceful, private, and surrounded by nature.
Designed for connection and comfort, this spacious 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home features a massive open layout ideal for families and groups.

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 a local New England family who loves creating comfortable, memorable places for people to gather and unwind. 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.
What makes this property unique
What makes this home special is the balance it offers. It’s a large, fully renovated retreat set on private acreage with no nearby neighbors, yet it’s close to the best of the Lakes Region. The open layout, multiple living spaces, game room with bar, and family-friendly outdoor features make it ideal for groups, while the surrounding nature and nearby trails create a true getaway feel. It’s a place designed for both relaxation and making lasting memories.
