Lakefront Home-Stunning Views-Hot Tub, 3100 sqft!

WendyRating, 5 stars2 days ago
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

GabrielRating, 5 stars1 week ago
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.

Bright & Cozy Studio w/ Hot Tub | Walk to Lake

BryanRating, 5 starstoday
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.

Mountain Serenity Lake Retreat

AbbyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
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!

Lake View Getaway

ViktoriyaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
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.

Modern Lakefront Cabin: Rustic Charm Meets Luxury

EmilyRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
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!

Lake Winnipesaukee/9min to Gunstock Mtn. Alton Bay

AndrewRating, 5 stars1 week ago
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.
