Waterfront cottage on large, wooded lot with amazing swimming and fishing

Visit Heron Cove on the lovely North River Lake in Barrington, NH!

Our clean two-bedroom cottage is the perfect cozy escape for a family vacation or couple’s retreat. The last property on a private road, Heron Cove is a wooded 1.6-acre property with 100 ft of lake frontage. Located less than 2 miles to the nearest gas station, grocery store and ATM, you also have convenience close at hand.

North River Lake is over 80 acres of warm, clean, spring-fed waters where you can enjoy swimming, canoeing, kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing and more! This property is a kids’ paradise- with tons of room to run and explore. Adults may prefer to relax in the lounge chairs with a good book or enjoy a nap in the open air.

Our cottage faces west so you can appreciate long, sunny afternoons in the water and enjoy outdoor dining on the deck in the waning daylight. The deck is also a perfect way to spend your evenings, listening to the sounds of our resident loon and sipping on your favorite beverage. Or start a crackling fire in the firepit and wind down with a s’more!
