Dog-Friendly Retreat | Fire Pit | Lakes Region

This three-bedroom escape unfolds across 3 relaxed levels, offering space to gather or slip away in quiet. Mornings begin on the private deck, evenings drift into the cozy game room, and days flow easily between a fully equipped kitchen, smart TVs, and thoughtful comforts like laundry and strong Wi-Fi. Whether you’re a family, a couple, or working remotely, it’s a place to settle in, breathe deep, and feel close to nature, lakes, and winding trails.
Tucked away in New Hampshire’s Lakes Region, this home feels like a true retreat—quiet, grounded, and comfortably removed from the noise of everyday life. You arrive, exhale, and let the pace slow naturally.

Inside, warm wood accents and natural light open the living space, inviting you to settle in. The main level is made for easy moments: curling up on the couch with a movie, lingering over a home-cooked meal, or simply enjoying the stillness that comes from being wrapped in forest. The fully stocked kitchen flows seamlessly into the living and dining areas, keeping everyone connected from morning coffee to shared dinners.

Upstairs, 2 bedrooms promise deep, restful sleep with soft bedding and peaceful woodland views, the kind of rest that only comes after time outdoors. The main floor brings the family together for dining and relaxing. Down below, a spacious bedroom along with the game room to add a playful energy to your stay, where foosball turns into movie nights, and laughter fills the space. Multiple bathrooms and in-home laundry make longer stays effortless.

Step onto the private deck and you’re surrounded by trees, birdsong, and fresh air. Mornings begin with coffee in the quiet, evenings end under the stars. Whether you’re hiking nearby trails, exploring local lakes, working remotely in peace, or simply unplugging for a while, this is a place where simplicity and comfort meet calm—and relaxation comes easy.
The home does not have central air conditioning; however, we provide two portable AC units to help keep the space comfortable during your stay.
