Where You’ll Stay
Come enjoy the serene and cozy lakefront home away from home! The homey ambiance allows you to unwind from everyday life. Experience waking up to the sunrise, sipping coffee or tea on the front deck overlooking the lake.

We’ve partnered with Mosquito Squad to treat the property with an all-natural spray for mosquito and tick control.

This three-level contemporary home can sleep 8-10 people. It has 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths and 1 ½ bath. The main level contains 1 bedroom with a bunk bed (king and twin mattresses) and a full bath. The lower level includes a master suite with a king-size bed and a full bath and the top level has 2 bedrooms - one with 2 full-size beds and the other with a king size bed and a ½ bath. We also have a portable oversized playpen for infants or toddlers (can be used as a bed as well) and a high chair.

The home has an open floor-plan living space. We have brand-new kitchen appliances, quartz countertops, an electric stove, a microwave, a refrigerator and a dishwasher. Our kitchen is fully stocked with dinner and bakeware, glasses, utensils and children's dish sets. We have a two-level large deck with a gas grill and patio seating overlooking the lake.

Bathrooms come complete with bath towels and toiletries, including shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and toilet paper. For your convenience, there's a laundry room with a washer and dryer on the lower level. Your lakeside haven awaits, promising comfort and a touch of luxury!

Summertime Fun:
Relax by the private beach, take the canoe, kayaks or paddleboards for a ride or enjoy each other's company by the fire pit. We have outdoor lawn games such as corn hole, Kan Jam disc toss and many more. The water level in the lake can fluctuate, so we kindly ask you to refrain from jumping / diving off the dock.

North Conway is less than an hour away and includes historic sightseeing, dining, and shops. There is unlimited hiking in White Mountain National Park and don’t miss Diana’s Baths, a favorite for families.
