Waterfront on Opechee

Beautiful Lake Winnipesaukee w/ Dock!
Megan’s place was beautiful! I only wish we had waited until the warmer weather so we could enjoy the water. If we had a question for her, she answered very quickly. I would definitely book this again !

Luxury Year-round Treehouse with private hot tub
This is a really special spot! Close to town and all kinds of necessities but also very secluded and quiet! It was so private and peaceful and such special accommodations! We stayed in a tree house that had everything we needed yet not cluttered or crowded!

Lakefront Home-Stunning Views-Hot Tub, 3100 sqft!
We had a great stay at Julie’s beautiful home. Her home was even nicer than the pictures. Great kitchen with everything you could possibly need. Open layout so we can all converse no matter what we were doing. Beds were comfortable. But the outside stole the show. The upper deck was spacious and had great views. The hot tub was just what we needed. Then you walk down to the dock and there is enough space for everyone to lay out. Lots of kayaks and paddle boat. Had fun exploring and fishing the lake. Perfect home for families to come together and catch up!! Oh, and the lower level was perfect with ping pong, foosball and tv for late night fun!! Would recommend to anyone wanting to be in the lake region of NH.

Studio Cottage at a Lakefront Association
Probably one of the best places I've stayed at. Patrick makes you feel right at home from the moment you book the place. The cottage is right next to the lake and just a step away from Wiers beach, a great place to lay down and relax. Patrick even accomodated for local experiences, knowing I had travelled alone. Patrick and Gladys took me hiking and I even went out for drinks with Patrick. Honestly, if I could give the place 6 stars I would. Could not recommend it enough.

Serene Garden Private entrance, room, bath & patio
Beautiful property. Quiet. Easily walkable to the downtown area. Created when I drove in. Met my needs nicely.

Bright & Cozy Studio w/ Hot Tub | Walk to Lake
We had a delightful stay at this listing. It was a peaceful getaway from the city, and even with rain in the forecast, we felt comfortable and right at home in this spacious, well-appointed listing. The steam shower was quiet relaxing, as well the lighting, air conditioning and furniture. While we didn't work from home on this trip, the desk space would've been great to do. Overall a great space, with just enough to do in the surrounding area.

Quiet 2 bedroom, One Bathroom with beautiful views
Best air bnb we have stayed in. Sean provided everything including great snacks. It is such a cozy place, beautiful view of the lake, very close to lots of activities and restaurants, extremely comfortable, nice neighbors, wonderful porch area, and every amenity you can think of. We will definitely stay again. We just loved the area!

Lake Winnipesaukee Retreat
This lake home was a perfect place for our fall getaway. The views of the lake and Mt Major were better than anticipated. Everything was clean and extremely comfortable. Would love to return to the area and stay again.

Luxury Lakehouse| Sunsets| Cen. Air| Private Dock
My girlfriends and I have chosen to stay here three years in a row for our annual girls weekend, which should tell you all you need to know. Clean, friendly and responsive hosts, great location for getting away to the quiet but easy drive to restaurants. Highly recommend!

Mountain Serenity Lake Retreat
What an incredible home! It was spotless and instantly felt welcoming—just like being at home. The house was thoughtfully stocked with a wide range of amenities, including baby gear, cleaning supplies, and pantry staples. Shannon and Matt were very responsive when we had a question during our stay. The views were stunning, and although there were neighbors nearby, it still felt peaceful and secluded. Conveniently located close to grocery stores, restaurants, and anything else you might need. I would recommend to anyone. We are already looking forward to coming back!

The Cottage on Paugus Bay- Lake Winnipesaukee
This is the most perfect family vacation spot. It is directly across the street from the boat house with lake access. The most beautiful views you could ask for. less than a mile from grocery and restaurants. The interior is stunning and clean. My family has already asked me to book it again!

Cozy camp for swimming, water sports and more!
The Pancake House was the perfect getaway! Peaceful, relaxing, comfortable, and charming! The house is better than the photos can show, and offered plenty of space for fun and relaxation. We enjoy evenings by the fire after enjoying the sunset on the lake!

Blue Breeze - Private lakefront w/ Hot Tub
Carl and his cohosts were wonderful to work with, quick to respond with any needs. We had a great time this weekend, enjoyed the house and beautiful lake. Hope to return someday and look forward to working with them in the future!

Lakefront, Mtn Views, Game Room, Hot Tub & More!
Beautiful property, great hosts would book again! thank you!

Gorgeous Romantic Lakefront Getaway
The Carriage House was nice and comfortable, and we truly enjoyed our time there. We were able to kayak and sit by the dock, it was so peaceful and serene, the perfect getaway to reconnect and rejuvenate. Despite the weather, we made the best of it and appreciated having such a cozy and relaxing space to unwind.

Lake View Getaway
Perfect Airbnb. We stayed for a long weekend and had a wonderful time. The hot tub, pool table, dart board, piano, book collection, and giant tv ensured we were never bored. The view was incredible, it felt like we were in a movie. The hosts answered very quickly whenever we had a question, and they also ensured we had a lot of privacy, which was really appreciated. 10000/10! I would stay here again and again and again. No complaints at all.

Winnipesaukee Lakeside Garden Sweet
We simply loved our time here in this beautiful, comfortable location. The yard and surroundings were an absolute sanctuary. It’s easy to see the owner lovingly cares for this remarkable space. The kayaks were a special treat to explore the gorgeous lake. We loved our stay.❤️

Paradise On Paugus Bay, Private Beach
It was simple and just what I needed. The rainy day made it absolutely amazing as far as relaxation goes. Nice place and nice people.

Lake Access | Prime Location | Designer Cabin
This was the perfect little cabin near the lake! Quiet, woodsy, peaceful! Cabin looked exactly like the pictures. Full kitchen. Beds were comfortable! We stayed 2 nights to attend a concert at BNHP. Victoria was very responsive and left the cutest treats for us and the pups! (Very dog friendly!)

Modern Lakefront Cabin: Rustic Charm Meets Luxury
An INCREDIBLE ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ stay! This was our first trip with our puppy and baby and we felt right at home. We arrived to an incredible personalized touch — a box of snacks, bottle of wine, and a note to welcome us. The house was spotless and filled with the amenities you’d get at a resort — from dishes to silverware, to shampoo and soap, to extremely comfy beds and beautiful decor. It was a peaceful and relaxing time by the water, especially loved the deck, yard, and kayaks. Thank you!

Cozy Chalet in Gilford near lake and mountains
The chalet was just as described in the listing; clean, comfortable, convenient, and had everything we needed! The location was very good, close to Bank of NH Pavilion, Gunstock, restaurants and shopping! Becky was very responsive!

Lake Winnipesaukee/9min to Gunstock Mtn. Alton Bay
This is the first Airbnb that I have rented. The host was responsive and answered my questions. The house was clean and looked exactly as pictured on the app. The host left out simple and reasonable house rules. The only thing that I would have liked to been different is if the check in time was an hour early and the check out time an hour later. As well as the price was a high after all the applicable fees. This being the first time I rented an airbnb this could be a normal thing that exists in the app and not the fault of the host. But advertising between 700-800 a night but after the fees it was over 2400 for 2 nights! So that 700-800 a night was really 1200 a night. That drastically increased the advertised cost. No one likes that. Again not blaming the host for the fees but if they know the fees are built in to the app they should lower the advertising price. When you go to check out and the cost is twice what you are expecting is crazy! Other than the price there was no complaint
Your guide to Lake Winnipesaukee
All About Lake Winnipesaukee
In the hill-covered Lakes Region of the White Mountains, you’ll find New Hampshire’s largest lake and its 288 miles of shoreline. The shimmering blue waters of Lake Winnipesaukee are ideal for swimming, jumping off docks, and boating during the summer months. And you can spend days on a boat, hopping from island to island (there are 274 habitable ones) or simply floating the day away. The winter snowfall brings cross-country skiers and ice fishers.
But the appeal of staying near Lake Winnipesaukee isn’t merely the water but also the communities established on its shores. The largest city in the area is Laconia, where Victorian homes line the lakefront and Winnipesaukee Pier, chocolate shops, general stores, and vendors selling souvenirs offer a peek into the region’s heyday in the early 1900s. Just north of Laconia is the artistic little town of Meredith, and on the southeastern shore, you’ll find three small museums and colorful historic buildings in the town of Wolfeboro. At the northernmost part of the lake lies Moultonborough, a quieter and more rural town, where you’ll find some of the region’s most stunning European-style architecture.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Lake Winnipesaukee
Precipitation is high and steady throughout the year, with about seven days of rain each month, so be sure to pack waterproof layers and boots regardless of the season. The summer brings high daily temperatures with a bit of humidity that subsides as the sun goes down. It’s ideal weather for riding and boating, if you’re in town for the annual Motorcycle Week in June or to see prized boats at the boat show in July.
Fall is one of the most popular seasons for booking Lake Winnipesaukee house rentals as sweater weather returns and vivid foliage turns the area into an autumnal paradise. Winter brings plenty of snow, and the lake freezes over to make way for outdoor hockey games and ice fishing. Spring brings the big thaw and lots of mud, so you may want to pass up the hiking trails in favor of exploring the lakeside towns.
Top things to do in Lake Winnipesaukee
Laconia
Home to Weirs Beach, Winnipesaukee Pier, a drive-in theater, bowling lanes, arcades, and mini-golf courses, this lakeside city is the central hub of the Lakes Region. Dining options are plentiful, and you’ll find local restaurants specializing in farm-to-table cuisine, wood-paneled diners, cute cafes in residential neighborhoods, and lakeside steak and seafood lounges.
Winnipesaukee Scenic Railroad
For sweeping views of the lake and surrounding mountains that you can’t get from hiking or driving around, book a one- or two-hour train ride on this 19th-century rail system. You can board in Meredith or Weirs Beach, and there’s daily service during the summer, weekend rides throughout the spring, and even special fall foliage rides during the first months of autumn. Although you can snag some light snacks and drinks at the gift shop before you board, you’re also welcome to bring your own picnic on board.
Hiking
The Lakes Region is surrounded by temperate deciduous forests like the Belknap Mountain State Forest, where a popular trail will lead you up Mount Major. If you get an early start, you can beat the crowds and have the views of the lake to yourself.
