The Quaint Escape - Built in 2024 - Lake Access
This is a beautiful, brand new, and pristine house. The location is perfect, close to Meredith. It’s a very short drive to Fun Spot and a close walk to the neighborhood beach. Very clean and modern. A great stay!

Lake Winnipesaukee Island Cabin
We were expecting a cozy lake cabin, and that was exactly what we were treated to. The cabin was modernized, very clean, and comfortable. The outdoor setting was "rustic cabin retreat,' and Patricia even left us with the fixings and firewood to make smores in the outdoor fire pit. Thanks Patti! We spent a full week boating, fishing, hiking the Bear Island trails, relaxing and enjoying the lake, the scenery, the wildlife, the weather, and the peace and quiet. Patti was a great host, made sure that we were all set, and we even shared a laugh together. Definitely looking forward to another stay in the future. Ken, Julia, Steve, and Laura

Beautiful Lake Winnipesaukee w/ Dock!
Beautiful space - perfect for two couples or small families. My husband and I went for a weekend away with my parents. Loved the location being close most places around the lake and Megan was super responsive to anything we needed. 5 stars all the way!

Luxury Year-round Treehouse with private hot tub
The Canopy tree house was a great get away for a couple of days. It’s very private but still a beautiful area. You can walk down to a private dock to enjoy the lake which is very peaceful. Absolutely would recommend to anyone looking to escape to the woods for a couple of days.

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.❤️

Your getaway at Lake Winnipesaukee
Great place to stay with family and/or friends. lots of room to stretch out and enjoy the space. Everything was very clean and well organized. The host was very responsive answering a few questions that I had. Two thumbs up for sure

On the Lake! King Studio, Private Porch, Kitchen
I really enjoyed staying at Christine’s place on the lake. The condo was clean and the view by the water was great. It was super easy to check in / out. Christine was always very responsive. I would definitely consider staying again.

Modern Lakefront Cabin: Rustic Charm Meets Luxury
This place was lovely! Beautiful hardwood throughout with plenty of space for seven guests. We also had additional family come over to visit with enough room for everyone. The kids loved going out on the lake with the kayaks and paddle boards, and the games were a huge hit! Overall, beautiful, spacious and had everything we needed for a larger group.

Lake Winnipesaukee Hide away
The cabin was cute and met our needs. We will say the property was a bit smaller than anticipated with the road and neighbors very close by, but we enjoyed the fire pit and still got that peaceful atmosphere we were looking for. Terrance was super quick to respond to any questions we had and let us check in early. All in all it was a great little weekend away.

5-Stars!! Cozy Home near the lake
Warners place was perfect for our trip. We felt right at home, and the photos exactly showed the quality and cleanliness of the home. Planning another trip and will not hesitate

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.

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!

Lakefront Home-Stunning Views-Hot Tub, 3100 sqft!
We had an absolutely wonderful time at Julie's lakeside home for Father’s Day weekend. The setting was serene, with beautiful views of the water, making it the perfect spot to relax and enjoy quality time together. The home was well-equipped and comfortable, offering everything we needed for a memorable stay. Julie was a fantastic host, ensuring that our experience was seamless and enjoyable. We truly appreciated the peaceful ambiance and thoughtful touches throughout the space. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a lakeside retreat!"

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
We would definitely go back for another stay. Carl is a wonderful host and was very responsive and helpful. The house is beautiful and is located in such a tranquil and scenic location. We are a family of 6 along with our black lab and everyone fit comfortably. I highly recommend this place for a family get away.

Lakefront, Mtn Views, Game Room, Hot Tub & More!

Gorgeous Romantic Lakefront Getaway
We had the best weekend at this place! It’s a beautiful home (in our opinion the cutest on the entire lake) in an even more beautiful area. It was a bit overcast and rained one day but the lake was surprisingly warm and we still went swimming even on the cooler day. We also used the kayaks and SUP the host provided to spend more time on the water. There were lots of board games provided that we played often. The kitchen was well-stocked with spices, pans, and even small appliances, and the toiletries provided were nice. The best part of this place, however, is the French doors that open onto the balcony. We kept them open, with the screen closed to keep bugs out, almost the entire time we were in the house. Despite being a guest house on the same property as Janath and Beth’s home, the carriage house felt very private. This has been one of our most favorite places we’ve stayed. A beautiful home that is quiet and with lake views you can’t beat. I’d recommend to anyone! You’ll love it.

Sunset Bay Condominium
After a long day of driving from New York, and hikes at Franconia Notch State park, Julianne’s condo was a perfect getaway to stay in Laconia with backyard lake views to die for. The condo was clean and cozy. The highlight of the stay was watching the sunset from the balcony and admiring the stars at the private sandy beach. The host was very responsive. Thank you for the clear and precise instructions beforehand, everything was simple and straightforward. I would 100% recommend this place! :)

Mountain Serenity Lake Retreat
It’s quite a feat to surpass the already high expectations we had - Shannon and Matt and their beautiful house managed that with ease. We were hyped for the trip since we booked, and the stay was even better than we could dreamt. The second we stepped through the door we felt right at home. Everything was as described, clean and cozy - and the views just amazing. Our baby girl relaxed as much as we did and enjoyed the amenities like the high chair and the baby bath tub that were available. We had to push us hard to do some exploring of what the region has to offer outside the house, and that was well worth it, too. There’s definitely more to explore, and more relaxing to do in the house - so we will be back as soon as we can arrange for that. All the best from Switzerland!

Quaint Wolfeboro Lake Winnipesaukee Lakefront Home
Warren and Jen are fabulous hosts that have repeatedly treated our family like friends. They are quick to respond, and even better, are one step ahead. They have created an idyllic getaway property that everyone in our family finds unmatched. It is just perfect. Warren and Jen have a real gem with their property, and working with them is a warm experience. We can't wait to come back.

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.

Charming Lake & Mountain escape. Fantastic views
The Lake cottage was perfect! It was better than described. It was smartly decorated and the kitchen was very well stocked. The cottage was spotless. Bill was very responsive- providing information about the cottage (check-in & check-out) and things to do in area from activities to restaurants. Highly recommend!

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!)

Cozy Chalet in Gilford near lake and mountains
Amazing Stay! I went for the start of bike week. Friday -Sunday! The place is perfectly located, pristine, just a great experience!! The perfect choice!
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.
