Lake Winnipesaukee Retreat | Private Beach | Dock

Picture this: you turn down a quiet private street, the trees open up, and there it is... your own little slice of Lake Winnipesaukee waiting for you. Welcome to Loon Cove, where lake days start right in your front yard. Drop your bags in this beautifully refreshed 3-bedroom cottage and head straight for the water (or the slopes).
Inside, everything feels fresh, crisp and thoughtfully decorated, with cozy spaces designed for actually spending time together. The open-concept kitchen makesfamily meals easy, with plenty of seating between the dining table and breakfast bar. After a full day outside, pile into the comfortable living room for games or a movie, or sneak away to the sunroom overlooking the water, quite possibly the best seat in the house for a quiet cup of coffee or a good book.

Outside: Grab one of the four kayaks or the paddleboard and explore the quiet waters of the cove before the rest of the house has even finished breakfast. The sizeable private sandy beach is perfect for little feet, lazy afternoons and toes-in-the-sand mornings with coffee. Prefer to stay on shore Claim an Adirondack chair or sun lounger while the kids play on the lush green lawn. Break out the cornhole boards, start a family tournament and settle in because there are TONS of places to relax outside.
As evening rolls in, dinner can be enjoyed around the covered picnic table overlooking the lake. Then gather around the beautiful propane firepit, sink into the Adirondack chairs and watch the last light disappear over the water. This is the kind of place where everyone seems to stay outside just a little longer. Bringing a boat Your 25-foot private dock gives you a front-row seat to the cove!
