Cozy Carriage House on Lake Ossipee. Private beach with boat docks
This is by far one of the best kept secrets of Ossipee Lake. This cute cozy carriage house is located on the shores of Lake Ossipee in a very private community. The carriage house is updated with a new great room on the lower level and a big beautiful lake view deck. Enjoy this very private lake side property with 20 feet of private beach and pure serenity with a view of the beautiful white mountains. The carriage house has 2 adjoining bedrooms and 1 small full bath with an open kitchen living space, washer dryer, wifi, board games, foosball table and flat screen tv’s for those rainy days. There is a queen size bed and a pull out twin bed in the first bedroom and two twin beds in the second bedroom (we do not provide bedding guests must bring your own sheets and towels (bath and beach) ). You will want to spend all of your days on the lake in the canoe, kayaks, or simply sitting lakeside with the serenity of the surroundings. Bring your boat and dock it on the property for your convenience. This place is cozy and spacious enough for your family to enjoy for a long weekend or a week long summer vacation. We are conveniently located very close to hiking, golfing, bike riding, restaurants and shopping ( North Conway is about 30 minutes north). All EV’s welcome charging capability on site.

The local motel was charging $500/night because of Columbus Day weekend. I’m glad I found this spot which put us close to relatives in Tamworth. Shower was awkwardly small because of the sloped roof. A windstorm knocked out the power and water for 12 hours of our stay. Aside from that everything about the place was good. Nice view of the lake from the house.
My girlfriend and I enjoyed our stay at this property greatly. The lake access is nice and the unit itself is very cozy. No complaints, we had a great weekend.
This is our second time staying here and we love it! Perfect amount of space for our family of 4. We love that it’s walking distance right over to the lake. The property manager is very nice and if there’s ever an issue she responds right away.
We had another great stay at this property. Leigh is very accommodating and responsive throughout the stay. We loved the addition of the deck this year. It’s great having your own space on the beach and the community is very peaceful. We look forward to visiting again in the future!
Came back for another stay with my family for Labor Day Weekend. Loved it even more than last year with the new deck! The dock spot is the best perk for us.

Perfect getaway spot
My family and I had a wonderful time at this adorable carriage house! Lake Ossipee was delightful and Leigh was happy to answer any questions we had. If you are considering booking this place DO IT!
The Cozy Carriage House on Lake Ossipee is a great house in the lovely neighborhood of Weetamoe Shores. It has been nicely restored and upgraded with a beautiful Non-slip vinyl Deck. It has a cozy upstairs with 2 bedrooms, large living room and full sized kitchen, which is very good for this community of small houses. There is an expansive playroom downstairs that you can walk out from. We had a great week of fresh air, lake fun, and listening to the loons at sunset and sunrise. Very happy all around.

We enjoyed our weekend stay in this wonderful lake-view home. The house is well-equipped and comfortable. Communication was excellent and very prompt. We enjoyed using the kayaks and sitting by the lake and fire pit in the evenings.! Great place to relax and enjoy a memorable lake-side vacation.
We loved our few days at the carriage house! Communicating with the owner was super-easy, and she made us feel very welcome. Our weekend there was cool and rainy, but we still had a great time. The property was beautiful -- we loved the cozy living room upstairs and the foosball table downstairs. We were also very happy to find a well-stocked kitchen. We'd love to come back in the summer to get the full lake experience!
This was a last minute find for Labor Day weekend and we absolutely loved it! The location, beach, and ability to dock our boat was perfect. Our girls (3 & 1) had a blast playing on the beach and running back and forth from the house. It was perfect size for us 4. Curious if the owners will furnish the downstairs more so we can hang out down there more. We've already booked another stay!
We loved the location. The carriage house was the perfect amount of space for us. We grilled dinner and had all the tools we needed for successful meals. We swam, kayaked, canoed, and enjoyed the water to the fullest. As described in the listing its a short walk to an from the beach. Our fires at night were such a treat. We will stay at leigh’s again!
Our stay was everything we wanted and more! Clean, well stocked, and always got back to you if you had a question! We had a great boat dock and they supplied a wagon to get our bags and cooler to boat! They just put on a beautiful double decker deck on the side of the carriage house! Love it and hopefully we get back again! Plus they finished the whole bottom into one large game/tv room!

Clean, cozy, and the lake was beyond beautiful!
This carriage house was perfect for our summer vacation! It would be very comfortable for a family so the kids can have their own room. It has everything you need and was very clean. The lake was absolutely breathtaking...beautiful mountain views, pure sand beach, clean water, perfect for paddling around and sitting by the fire pit at night! We took a day trip to Portland Maine and another to drive up mt. Washington both about 1.5 hours away!! Would highly recommend this spot!
The property was perfect, short walk to the lake and very clean and the kitchen had everything we needed. If we return to Ossipee for a week, we would likely rent here again. The only knocks were the bathroom door made the small bathroom feel even smaller, I’m average sized and had trouble getting in and out as it opened in, and the oven made the whole room hot. Probably not normally a problem, but it was hot our week.
My family and I just returned home from a week at the Cozy Carriage House and I can't say enough good things about it!
From promptly answering questions before we even booked our trip, to helping us with little things during our visit, to thanking us for our stay, Leigh was the perfect host! The constant communication was incredibly appreciated!
Upon arrival we found the Carriage House to be very clean and extremely organized. The kitchen was stocked with everything you would need to cook for a family of four, including a griddle (which was great because I packed ours and the plug was damaged during our travel)!
We were all so excited about the new deck that has been added to the home. In addition to my morning coffees and a book on the deck, we also enjoyed most meals outside and many family games overlooking the lake.
Ossipee Lake is our favorite summer vacation spot and the private beach included with this property is absolutely perfect to enjoy it from. The soft sand was great for the kids to play in and we loved bringing Leigh's kayaks and canoe out onto the water. One of our favorite things to do was to make s'mores on the beach in the evenings. Leigh provides wood for the fires as well as a wagon to transport it. Very much appreciated!
When we weren't outside on the deck or on the lake, we were spending time in the finished downstairs area of the Carriage House. There's a beautiful lake view from downstairs and it was a great area for family movie nights!
We had a wonderful stay. House is located in a small, private community that has everything you need. Private beach with water toys (provided by host) and reservable dock space. House is well maintained and has everything you need. Supermarket and restaurants are close by. Leigh is a great host, was very responsive and accommodating. Highly recommend and and wouldnt hesitate to rent again!
My family of three (2 adults and a toddler) loved our stay on the lake. It’s a perfect location. Quiet neighborhood and beautiful. The private section of beach was amazing, with plenty of space between houses. We loved the included kayaks for early mornings out in the quiet lake. Leigh has plenty of items Included at the beach like paddleboards, kayaks, life jackets, toys, swim floats, chairs. The fire pit was great at night and Leigh has wood there for you to use and a wagon. The unit was well equipped and clean. There were 2 ac window units and fans for warmer days. Perfect house for a small family. Leigh was a great communicator and we had no issues at all. Look forward to visiting again!
This is my 2nd time staying here with my brothers. It is a great spot and great access to our favorite lake. The place was so clean and had all the necessities. I especially loved the addition of the bonus room. A great place to hang for those rainy days. We met and hung out with the neighbor who made us feel so welcome. We will definitely be back.
We wanted a place that had its own private beach, that was close to water but not on the water, as we have a little one that is known to wander around. This place had all of it -plus, it was clean, well maintained, and Leigh, the owner, was super responsive and helpful. We wish the weather was better, but nevertheless, we truly enjoyed our stay.
THE PROPERTY WAS SPOTLESS. THE PROPERTY OWNERS ARE EXTREMELY NICE AND JUST A CLICK AWAY. THE LAKE IS SO CLEAN AND WARM. EVERYTHING IS THERE FOR A PERFECT LAKE VACATION. NICE NEIGHBORS. LAKE HOUSES ARE SPACED OUT FOR PRIVACY. FANTASTIC FIRST TIME LAKE EXPERIENCE. WE WILL GO BACK EVERY YEAR! THANK YOU,
We love lake Ossipee and the updates that have been made to this property, particularly, the bonus room downstairs was such a plus. The beach and the views never disappoint either. It was great to have access to canoes and the other amenities offered as well. The property owner was very accessible and attentive too! Thank you for another enjoyable week of serenity!

About the host
Your host
It has been over 30 years of traveling up to Lake Ossipee. From when we were kids taking our annual trip to Camp Calumet to spend 2 weeks of our summer among pure beauty and serenity. Of course we didn't realize it at the time but over the years we realized that it was the beautiful surrounding and being in nature that continued to draw us to Lake Ossipee. We finally decided to purchase our own little piece of the Lake. We hope you will enjoy this charming lakeside carriage house as much as we do.
