Waterfont log home nestled in the pines

Experience life in a lakeside cabin featured on HGTV’s “Log Cabin Living”. Vacation on a pristine lake; swim or kayak from your dock; roast marshmallows at the fire pit; enjoy the sounds of the loons. This beautiful 3 bedroom lakefront home is both rustic and modern: a true log cabin, yet decorated with an eye toward mid-century modern. It has a long wraparound deck to enjoy sunsets with a glass of wine, and “crazy comfortable” beds (according to a guest). Only 90 minutes from Boston, but you are tucked away in the pines on a protected cove on beautiful Lake Contoocook.

The cabin sleeps 8 comfortably: two bedrooms have queen beds, and a bunk room has 4 single beds. Enjoy the large, open living room, screened in dining porch, outside deck, and stocked eat-in kitchen. A long deck runs the length of the house overlooking the lake, and there is a lower “cocktail” area on the deck close to the water.

The rental includes everything needed to make your stay comfortable and easy: high-speed wireless internet, (no TV), fresh sheets and bath towels, beach towels, silverware and glassware, cooking implements and serving pieces, a gas grill, and washer and dryer. There is also a fire pit, cord wood, grill, and a dock. Parking for up to five cars.

The lake is steps from the house. Walk down the stairs to your wooden dock and swim to a sandy beach area across the cove. Use the kayak, life jackets, and a paddle and either stay in the cove or head out to explore the 344-acre main lake. The area has lots of hiking, bike trails, and all types of dining options in the quintessential beautiful New England town of Peterborough, a 15-20 minute drive away. You are also a short 14 minute drive to the trails of Mt. Monadnock.

Spring/Summer/Fall: crystal clear lake swimming, fishing, kayaking, canoeing.

Winter: Cross country skiing, snowmobiling and downhill skiing all located locally.

Getaway on the lake
Beautiful secluded location. Quiet neighborhood right on the lake. Wonderful to go down to the dock in the morning and watch the lake come alive with a good cup of coffee. Plenty of room for the family. The log cabin interior was very cozy, clean and inviting. Kitchen had everything needed. The kayaks and fishing poles were put to good use. We stayed here to attend a nearby family wedding and it was SOOO much nicer than being in a hotel, having the family all together. Alfred made sure to check in with us to see that we had everything we needed. Thank you for a great weekend!

Amazing log cabin on a lake!
We stayed at this amazing log cabin on a lake for 2 weeks. We're a mom, dad, and 6-year-old daughter. We all loved it! The house is large, open, and spacious, full of big windows with views of the forest and the lake. It's very clean and comfy. the beds were EXTRA comfy. We used the fireplace at night. We sat on the dock all the time and watched the water. We used the kayaks and paddleboards. We explored the islands on the lake and swam at those--they are like little sandbars in the middle of the lake. Around the dock at the house, the kids would swim, but it does have plant life and squishy stuff on the bottom. I enjoyed swimming at the islands, which have regular sandy bottom. We did some fishing and some grilling. We saw a big turtle (and fed him bread, which he loved), a frog, deer, and tons of birds. The house has a library of fabulous books. The screened-in porch was my favorite place. I loved it all and can't wait to go back some time!

Winter Weekend Away
Small group of friends stayed here for a winter weekend away/at a cabin. It was perfect! Beautiful cabin with plenty of space and charm to it. Host was responsive and reasonable. Close enough to amenities you would want/need. Had everything you would want to create great memories on a vacation rental. Safe, clean, reasonable host, and the real deal exceeds the pics/description. Highly recommend!

Beautiful Lakefront Property
This rental was immaculately clean and the views are gorgeous! It has a rustic log cabin charm and all the kitchen equipment you need for a comfortable stay. If you forget something, the supermarkets are just a short drive away. Other than the furniture being a bit sparse, it was the perfect place for our family holiday overflow!

Highlight of ouryear
My family looks forward all year to staying at this home for our brief vacation. The amenities are tremendous and the atmosphere is so relaxing! You don't need to bring much when you stay here. You can relax in a kayak or seek out lovely local spots or nearby Keene for fun activities. You will miss out if you don't book this spot.

Great cabin on a pretty lake
The house itself is quite spacious, well maintained, clean, and full of many great books. It is located on a peaceful part of a pretty and clean lake. We enjoyed going out in the kayaks and paddle boards, as well as swimming off the dock. We also enjoyed both hikes on nearby mountains and just relaxing in the house doing puzzles and reading. I am very particular about cleanliness/home maintenance and I highly recommend this property.
