Alton Bay, New Hampshire
This large air conditioned home is the perfect retreat to relax and enjoy the most incredible long lake and mountain views on Lake Winnipesaukee. The private fine sand beach flows into a gradually sloping sand lake bottom which is perfect for families with children and water sports as well as for the mature generation. A 50 ft dock with boat slip and 2 moorings allow for easy access to your boats and watercraft. A canoe, kayaks and row boat available for guest use. Great fishing spots are nearby. There is plenty of outdoor seating to take in meals or enjoy the views from the large lake-facing deck with dining area, the side entry porch and the expansive lawn that joins the wide beach. A guest favorite is sitting by the lake-side fire pit taking in amazing sunsets across 12 miles to open water to the mountains.
The house has traditional lakehouse charm with modern accommodations including all new appliances as well as kitchen and bathroom fixtures. Four separate living rooms provide private spaces. Indoor dining areas include a large kitchen island with 4 stools, a main formal dining room and a turret dining room overlooking the lake.
There are 6 bedrooms offering plenty of room for everyone. The second floor has 4 bedrooms and a formal living room in the turret with expansive views. On the third floor, enjoy another guests favorite; a treehouse experience in the turret bedroom with incredible lake views, a living room with a full sleep sofa and a sixth bedroom alcove with a full bed.

Excellent property. Pet friendly, great beach. Amazing view. Great outdoor space. Comfortable living arrangements.
We had a great stay! The property is lakefront wonderful and the house spacious enough to comfortably fit our extended family ages 4-77. Think classic vintage lake house charm. We loved everything about it and can’t wait to come back!
Beautiful home. Great spot on the lake. Enjoyed the history of the home. Everybody had a great time. It was a fantastic weekend Thanks again Chris
We had a great time with our three young kids for two weeks). Great shallow beach for playing and dock for jumping off of. Rented pontoon boat and loved boating around and going to nearby sandbar (less than 5 minute bot ride away). Home had everything we needed and owner was extremely responsive to any questions we had during our stay.
We stayed at this home for a large family vacation. The lakefront property with views of the mountains was spectacular! The home was large with plenty of sleeping space. We appreciate that it is a family home but there were too many personal items left on display, not very kid friendly!!
This was our second family vacation at this home and we had another fantastic stay. The location is great, the view is amazing, and the owners are very accommodating. Hope to stay here again!
Space for everyone - inside, on the lawn, the beach and fishing or jumping off the dock. Picnic tables accommodated all 10 of us for lunch and dinner every day. After the kids were in bed, the adults gathered around the fire pit to enjoy the sunset and time together. Definitely recommended!
The home could have been more perfect for a weekend with the family. We would definitely rent this house again.
We had 8 adults and 2 children. The beach and water were just perfect. Children and dogs enjoyed playing in the sand and running in and out of the water. Back yard perfect for our games. Nice sitting around the fire pit by the water. The house had plenty of bedrooms. The house has been in the family since the early 30’s most is original. The addition is nice too.
This was our second time staying at this wonderful property. Karyn went out of her way to make it a special stay, helping us coordinate and plan surprise 75th birthday parties for our parents, complete with catered dinner, dessert and decorations. The waterfront is exceptional, with sandy beach and crystal clear water, not to mention the breathtaking views. We spent most of our days playing lawn games on the yard or taking the boats out on the lake and our nights by the fire pit. The house has comfy beds and the added air conditioning was a plus. Highly recommend this gem for any family vacation.
