Ensuring peace and tranquility for some, for others, a restful conclusion to the end of a day filled with one or several of the many great adventures awaiting you in New Hampshire. If the afternoon with a good book sounds good to you, picture yourself nestled on the porch catching up on your reading while glancing out to the water between pages. For some great adventures we are really central to all that New Hamphire has to offer. Grab a canoe or a kayak and go explore the gorgeous and tranquil Lake Hermit where you can go fishing. Lake Hermit is described as one of the best lakes to fish. The rental includes 5 kayaks, a canoe and a standing paddle board🤗. At night the fire pit offers the opportunity for everyone to gather and share the wonderful adventures experienced during the day or catch up with yourselves listening to the crackling of the fire. Once out in the back yard you will never want to come inside, however, when you do, you will be in love with this home! Tasteful furnishings and a completely and generously stocked kitchen/living room/dining room. The first floor has two bedrooms, each with a comfortable queen size bed and the loft offers two comfortable twin size beds. There is also a studio in the lower level with a full bath.

A sweet little paradise!

We were in town for a wedding and booked this property for my husband, myself, our adult son and his wife, my adult daughter and my teen son. It gave us the perfect amount of space and was a serene property! We didn’t get to do much water stuff, but we were able to really enjoy the porches and comfy living areas!

We caught a 22” bass!

This is our second year staying at this property and it’s only gotten better. We loved the new dock and windows. About half of our group loves fishing and this lake is perfect for them. The rest of us really enjoy the large covered porch and public beach, it is a very short walk away. The kitchen is updated and has everything you need to prepare lovely meals. As we are a larger family we have used the loft bedroom as well as the down stairs bedroom and they are all well appointed and very comfortable . Shopping and dinning are a short drive away. The one thing we do like to do is bring our Solo stove , they have a great fire pit but we love the smokeless aspect of the stove so we just put it in existing ring and use that in the evenings .

Perfect Lakehouse Getaway

What a great spot for our family vacation! We were looking for a relaxing lakeside spot and that is exactly what we experienced. The home is comfortable and inviting. It is well-maintained with plenty of recent updates. We absolutely loved the covered deck where we started our day with morning coffee and ended it with evening drinks. We had fun exploring the lake in kayaks and the beach is a quick, easy walk. We are already talking about a return trip!

Relaxing lakefront home away from home!

Our family of 8 adults stayed here for a week for our daughter’s wedding at Tarbin Gardens. It was so special having all our grown kids under one roof playing games around the table, S'mores around the fire pit, kayaking, grilling, and lots of laughter. Plenty of space for everyone and an easy drive to Weirs Beach, Tanger Outlets, and even grownups like to play at Funspot! We even drove to York Beach in Maine for the famous saltwater taffy at Goldenrod! You can tell the home is cared for and upgraded as needed.

As Advertised

This was our first time staying at Anna’s vacation home for our family’s annual NH vacation. Everything was as pictured and described! We thoroughly enjoyed the covered deck for coffee, reading, and playing cards. The dock was great for taking in the views of the lake. And the kayaks were great. Thank you very much for sharing your special place on the lake. The family has already voted to rent again next year.

About the host

Hosted by Anna D'Onofrio

Host profile image
We spent some time growing up in two different countries. However, not much difference between us when it came to values, integrity and the deep desire within us to serve not only our country but the community. Tony is a retired Police Sargent. Anna is a Social Worker and a Personal Trainer. We both served our communities with passion and pleasure. We met each other later in life and blended our two families. Our children are amazing. We have a Personal Trainer, Social Worker, and a Fireman who serves in the US Air Force. We dont consider ourselves lucky. We have worked hard for what we have and we taught our children to be valuable members of the community. When we met we lived in a small ranch home in Connecticut's largest city. Later we bought a home in another more rural and smaller town in CT. One of our daughters live at the small ranch home and is ready to get married. We have visited Alaska 4 times. We love it there. So we decided to buy property there and retire; however God had other plans. The plans we made made to purchase some property from someone fell through. Much to the joy of our children...lol
We then started to search here in New England for our future retirement home. It was here on Lake Hermit that we found our little home in the beautiful state on New Hampshire.

Why they chose this property

We love rustic, we love nature, we love freedom and we love adventure. We decided that New Hampshire was for us. We came to look at this property and right away became in love with everything about it. The big backyard than ends at the shore of Lake Hermit and the lake beach just about our side yard. The Central location of the home offers us the opportunity to explore all of beautiful New Hamphire. We bought the home from an elderly couple who decided that traveling in an RV was their next step in life. They shook our hand at closing and wished us well. They told us that we were going to be happy here and that we bought a treasure. BOY! THEY WERE RIGHT. Our first night's stay as owners was an amazing tranquil feeling; The next morning we woke up to Lake Hermit. It was a foggy morning, however with the sun rising and burning off the fog the view of the lake transformed into stunning views of Lake Hermit. It was our first wedding anniversary when we took ownership of our New Hampshire home. We could not even believe that in just one year we were going to own such a beautiful home and be so happy here. We look forward to making beautiful memories wth our family and many friends. We do believe that good things happen to those who work hard and seek out their dreams. As we know dreams can and do come true.

What makes this property unique

The truth is that although we still love Alaska, in the grand scheme of things we believe that New Hampshire is as close to it here in New England as we can get with the support of our children. We love everything about our home. The tranquility that the location offers. A lake that we can adventure on and fish. We also have beach rights on Lake Winnisquam. Lake Winnipesaukee offers us the opportunity to rent a boat, and go tubbing, jet skiing and/or water skiing. The two lakes are just 20 minutes away. Also, great horseback riding just a shot northbound on route 93. The Kancamangus Highway also north on route 93 to Lincoln - beautiful drive.
The fall season is spectacular. What a beautiful time of the year as is the beauty of the winter season. Have you ever seen a postcard with beautiful winter view? It is here at our house that we see postcard like views all year long. We have the opportunity to go to Gun Stock Mountain, just 20 minutes away, for some awesome tubbing or skiing at this beautiful ski resort. There are endless opportunities to explore and experience the beauty of New Hampshire, Vermont or Maine whether it is with friends and/or family.
To start the day with a beautiful sunrise, cook a hardy breakfast and go explore day after day or simply enjoy the tranquility and serenity of our home and relax. We welcome our home to guest after guest. We enjoy sharing our piece of heaven here in New Hampshire with our guests as we move towards our retirement. Every time that a guest visits our home we are pleased to take pride in presenting our home. We welcome and treat all our guests as family and some have become very close friends We welcome you to New Hamphire and to indulge in all it's beauty and all the State has to offer while staying in our beautiful, rustic yet tranquil home.
