About this property

Spacious Waterfront 4 Season Home on Beautiful Lake Winnisquam

Spacious 3000 sq ft, waterfront, 4 season home and seasonal summer cottage directly on beautiful Lake Winnisquam, New Hampshire. Two or three families can easily enjoy this property that sleeps a maximum of 12 people (10 people in fall, winter, and spring without summer cottage). The main home includes an 8 ft slate pool table, open area living with a large dining area and two fireplaces. The fully equipped kitchen is appointed with granite counter tops and plenty of space. On the main level, an extensive 300 sq. ft. deck with 3 season porch overlooks 125 feet of private waterfront which is enjoyed from a 25 foot dock. A second deck on the third level and a first level patio also view the gorgeous sunrises, Gunstock Mountain, and the lakefront. **Please note: the main home bedrooms are accessed only by a slim spiral staircase. This may not be ideal for people with ambulatory difficulty.** The summer rentals include a cozy, one bedroom cottage with a galley kitchen and a living room. It has its own deck also overlooking the lakefront. It is all driveway level so convenient for those who can’t climb stairs. The property provides lakefront solitude and fun with a canoe ready for your use. Just minutes from local attractions. The crystal clear water of Lake Winnisquam makes for unforgettable summer days; the foliage against the lake is a must see in the fall; and the access to such an array of winter/snow sports makes it a property for any time of the year.

Local attractions include:
boat and jet ski rentals; trout, salmon, and bass fishing;
golf courses; White Mountain hiking; climbing; bike trails; waterfalls;
outlet shopping; movie theaters; live bandstand concerts; Bank of NH Pavilion performances;
restaurants; downtown Meredith and downtown Laconia; museums and covered bridges;
New Hampshire Motor SpeedwayNASCAR and motorcycle racing;
Skiing and snowboarding, snowmobiling, and ice fishing;
Mini-golf, arcades, and go-carts.

Fantastic stay!
My family and I rented this house for our first ever vacation all together. Yes, the house needs some updates, but the main floor and deck we're perfect for gathering. The kitchen is well stocked and the lake view is outstanding. Our hosts were very responsive, and gracious. I will definitely rent again. We made memories for a lifetime. Thank you to the Gaughan's for being excellent hosts.

A Wonderful Stay!
My friends and I rented George and Sue’s house for a weekend getaway and it was absolutely perfect. There was PLENTY of space for ten of us, as we each had our own room with a bathroom on each floor. The kitchen was stocked with anything and everything which made it easy to cook and enjoy the big dining room table for dinners together! Lastly, the views were simply AMAZING. George went above and beyond with communication and answered any questions I had right away. I’d highly recommend renting this property - you won’t be disappointed!

We are repeat renters for a reason.
This property fits our needs perfectly. Plenty of room for family and visitors. Plenty of parking not only for us but also our boat trailer and visitors. Great dock for our boat. Beautiful views. Love the huge dining room so we can always eat together. Love the pool table for rainy days (and the large dining table for everyone to play cards and games together). The separate sleeping levels give groups some separation. It all works for us so perfectly! We will continue to come back.

The property is a little dated but in NH on a lake and unless you want to pay a lot more a night for a newer place, this property was perfect otherwise. Plenty of room and beds with the additional cute cottage a huge bonus. Most pots, pans, cooking utensils and such I've ever seen at a rental. The multiple decks and dock into the water were awesome. The location and view were amazing. And communication with owners was spot on; rapid response to any questions and concerns. 5 star may be pushing it, especially knowing some people's expectations are unrealistic. Would have definitely rated at 4.5 stars but can't do half stars and 4 starts not quite enough.

Awesome View and Lovely Owners
My husband and I and both of our 20-something kids and their partners stayed. My son & his partner stayed in the cottage--perfect for them! It was an easy house to find a spot to be alone yet lots of space for a big group to sit around and play games, do a puzzle, etc. Our dogs were with us and loved it. Lots of hiking trails nearby with all different ability levels. All 6 of us enjoyed canoeing at various times. We rented 2 kayaks at Winnisquam Marine and every morning one of us would go on a paddle--so beautiful! Restaurants and ice cream are within 15-20 minutes. The grocery store is about 15 minutes away--it's a regular, large grocery store with everything you'd ever want. The owners were super responsive when we had questions. The staircases between floors in the house are quite narrow. Anyone with a disability or not fairly fleet of foot might have trouble.

Lots of highlights to this property.
There are a lot of highlights to this property - room for lots of guests, especially if it happens to be raining - plenty of space to be inside playing pool, card games or board games, or eating together. The main floor has tons of space. There is plenty of parking. We were able to keep our large boat trailer in the driveway and still have plenty of parking for our 3 cars AND cars of multiple guests. There is lots of privacy. We have 2 grown sons. One used the cottage and the other had the lower level of the main house. My husband and I used the third floor. Everyone had their separate spaces for themselves and any friends who came to visit. The fire pit is large and a great gathering space with plenty of seating. The main deck is large. We were able to play corn hole on the deck even while grilling and accommodating spectators. The dock area also has lots of choices for lounging. You can be right on the water or just off the water or overlooking the water… We have a 24’ ski boat that was easy to dock. The swimming area is easy to access. We stayed for 2 weeks so it was great having a washer and dryer as well. I could go on…

Spacious & gracious!
As mentioned in other reviews, this house was very accommodating for our large family. The views were amazing and we had plenty of things to do and space for both kids and adults. The owners were kind, and very responsive to our messages. We had originally booked this house for a winter getaway but we are so happy that they were able to give us this new date instead and we ended up having beautiful weather and even got to enjoy a dip in the lake. Not a fan of spiral staircases but other than that everything was great!

Great set up for a larger group
This place was great for our larger group of adults. There were plenty of beds and none had complaints about not being comfy. The kitchen, dining room and sitting/tv areas had more than enough space for all of us to hang out all weekend and not feel separated from the group. The gaming tables can use a little upkeep but they do work. Owners were great with directions and questions. Overall we had a great time there and it met our expectations. We will look to stay here again when the time comes back around.

Perfect winter getaway!
We rented the house for a long winter weekend. It was the perfect cozy place to stay to get away for several days. The kitchen is stocked with cooking supplies and the dining room table is large enough for everyone. Our dogs had a blast chasing each other and wrestling. The fireplaces added a nice atmosphere and the pool table was loads of fun. I wish the lake was a bit more accessible so we could go out on the ice, but it was too slippery to get down to the lake. Overall we would do it again!

Perfect family gathering place
Our family of 8 enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend at this comfortable lake house. The house is spacious, yet cozy. We enjoyed cooking in the very well-equipped kitchen, playing pool and board games by the 2-sided fireplace, watching the loons from the deck, and waking up to spectacular sunrises across Lake Winnisquam with the mountains as a backdrop. George and Meg are thoughtful and attentive hosts. Thanks to them, we had a fun, relaxing, and memorable family getaway.

Very accommodating house for all kinds of weather.
The house and cottage are very spacious, which was great for our group - son and friends stayed on the lower level, my husband and I had friends come as well and they could stay on third level with us. (Our other son stayed in the cottage.)The main level was great for multiple groups, with many seating areas. We had a rainy day and the house was very accommodating for that. We played lots of pool! The many outside seating areas were very nice too. We had a fire almost every night in the fire pit. The walk from the house down to the Dock was a bit steep and the spiral staircase was a challenge but we still enjoyed it. The outside shower was great!! We were able to play corn hole on the deck because it is that big!

Beautiful Location and Great Accomodations
We were here in the fall of 2019, and had to come back. The location is quite, spacious, and the lake is beautiful. The house is excellent for families to share, with a huge dining room table, a great family room with a fireplace and pool table, and enough bedding for two large families or three smaller ones! We had an incredible time and we will be back.

Great Location
Plenty of room for our multi-generational family. Great common areas and outdoor space. End of driveway location allowed for adequate parking for vehicles and boat trailers. Kitchen was open and well-equipped. Separate cottage was a bonus. Most of our time was spent on the multiple decks/dock and around the fire pit. Owners are super nice and respond to questions quickly.

Thanksgiving at the lake
The owners are wonderful, easy communication , very helpful. The house is old, decor is very dated and furniture is very dilapidated, run down: torn in places and very stained. Kitchen stove is dirty, stained. Lots of grime and dust under beds and in the bathrooms. We're not used to that. Photos showed the old everything but you really can't see the dirt on photos. Coffee maker had old coffee filter in it with old coffee grinds and mold, dirty carafe. Whoever is the cleaning person is not doing the job right, ripping off the owners. The best part was the view! Glorious! Also the house is very spacious. But the rest was disappointing for the $$$ we spent. Maybe if somebody has big dogs its ok, but not for us.
