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.

Amazing home
My family and I rented this home to stay in for a family wedding that was at the woodbound inn which was about a mile away. It ended up being cheaper than what the woodbound inn was going to charge us and.... let me tell you, more spacious and gorgeous! Our extended family that had been staying at the Woodbound Inn couldn't believe when they walked into this house and saw how amazing it was. Alfred was amazing to communicate with. He did everything he could to make sure we were settled in and happy and I couldn't say enough great things about this home! I highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a place to stay especially if you've got a bigger family and don't want to stay at the Woodbound Inn!

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!

Beautiful Log Cabin Home on the Lake!
My husband, two sons 24 and 21 and I, stayed here for three days at the end of August. It was the perfect place to rest up after a very busy summer. I loved the open floor plan with cathedral beamed ceilings in the living room and the entire back wall of this home is made of windows, allowing you to peak through the trees onto gorgeous Lake Contoocook! There are two bedrooms and bath upstairs with a landing that overlooks the main room. One has a queen size bed, the other has two sets of bunk beds, perfect for a large family! The sliding door you see in their picture, is the deck to the bedroom with the twins.The master bedroom with private shower/bath is located downstairs off the main room. All the mattresses were extremely comfortable with plenty of pillows and extra blankets. The kitchen had everything you could want to make your stay comfortable. We brought our own food and coffee however they do have coffee and condiments available for you to use which is a nice touch! The temperature dropped a little bit at night, so we took advantage of the wood stove located in gorgeous stone fireplace in the main room. The perfect setting to play our "Indie" board games that we brought along. There are a few classic board games in the house as well. Although there was no TV at the time of this review, there is wifi. We brought our own Bluetooth to play music! The enclosed sun porch is a wonderful extension to the home, perfect to have lunch during afternoon. Outside there is a multi-level deck that leads down the stairs to the lake. Although there is no beach on this property in which to swim, you are able to use the associations small beach which is a short swim or row, diagonal from their pier. The upper deck has rocking chairs, and an outdoor grill, and the lower deck has a small table and chairs with a great view of the lake. There are quite a few stairs leading down to the landing and pier, a nice little leg work out! We had such a wonderful time exploring this very large lake with so many nice places to row, from estuaries, and even a tiny island, a great place to swim!There is a kayak on the property which the owner allows you to use. We brought two of our own! On our last morning out, we had the good fortune of rowing alongside a Loon and got very close to a grey heron! The owner Alfred, was so pleasant to work with and always responded to my questions very quickly! We loved your home Alfred and will definitely be back!

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!

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.
