WATERFRONT SMITH COVE LAKE HOUSE
Reserve your own four-season lake house on an acre of land on Lake Winnipesaukee’s Smith Cove, a quiet no wake area of the lake. This Smith Cove lake house was built in 1894 and is located in a quiet residential neighborhood. House features include charming accommodations for 15, a wrap around covered porch, beautifully landscaped grounds with shrubs and flowering gardens, private sandy beach for safe natural sand swimming, and covered gazebo on the dock. Boat slip for 25' boat included with prior arrangement at time of reservation. Ideal for multi-generational family getaways or an escape with friends. Convenient to many Lake Region activities with all the comforts and safety systems for an extended stay.
This lake house has six bedrooms, all uniquely decorated and varying in size. One is on the first floor and five on the second floor, most with views of the lake. All rooms have queen beds, private baths, and air conditioners to insure your personal comfort. The first floor room features a 2-person Jacuzzi and a garden view. Four of the second floor rooms have views of the lake and one corner room has a 4-poster bed with a garden view. Single rollaway beds are available to add to three of the rooms if your group is more than twelve. Additional accommodations are available upon request. Linens and towels for each room are provided at check in. Full laundry with washer and dryer is available in the mud room on the first floor off the kitchen to maintain linens during your stay if needed.
Free Wi-Fi throughout to stay connected with friends, family or your business while enjoying the quiet relaxation that lake living has to offer.
The spacious living room with lake views is furnished with comfy sofas and chairs to gather with your group for chats, enjoy your favorite book or some friendly competition with a board game. There is also a large screen TV in this room.
There are a variety of restaurants nearby but you’ll likely prefer to make yourself at home in the newly renovated fully equipped kitchen including a table for eight. We hope where to dine in this lake house will be the biggest decision of your day. Will it be at the family table in the living room, in one of the comfy chairs on the porch to enjoy the lake view, under the umbrella at the outside tables on the back patio, or at the table in the gazebo so you can enjoy the sounds of the lake and the amazing views? The kitchen also features doorstep access to the back patio surrounded by gardens complete with new gas grill and tables for seating, all with their own umbrellas. Two popular nearby area restaurants offer discounts to guests of this lake house. Just a short walk away, The Lyon’s Den Restaurant & Tavern has great water views is open for lunch and dinner. Patrick’s Pub & Eatery, a local landmark for great food, fun and entertainment, is an Irish pub just a short mile drive away.
This house operated as an inn for almost thirty years before transitioning to a house rental. For your safety, the house is fully equipped with a fire alarm system including sprinklers throughout and carbon monoxide detectors. Easy access to the water is just a short walk away along the brick pathway across a manicured lawn. Owners have a home next door and are there much of the time to answer any questions you may have or provide immediate assistance if any issues should occur.
In warmer weather you’ll find the opportunity to relax with a book, to spend time connecting with family and friends, to enjoy the sights from the gazebo irresistible and you may never leave. If you do want to explore the area activities our location between Meredith and Wolfeboro is ideal for convenient access to a variety of lake attractions. Bank of NH Pavilion featuring top live entertainment is only minutes away. Dock your own boat using the boat slip available with prior request or make arrangements with one of the area marinas for a rental during your stay.
The natural wood walls found throughout much of the house makes for a warm and inviting location in the winter months. A perfect location to gather with the family and friends for the holidays or winter break. Gunstock Mountain is less than six miles from the house for skiing, snowboarding, tubing, and Nordic skiing with 227 skiable acres and 28 trails. In summer months, Gunstock offers treetop adventures, off road Segway tours, mountain coaster and more.
The lake house is available for seven-night reservations from Saturday to Saturday. Shorter stays may be available off-season upon request.
A pet may be allowed with prior approval from the owner for a nightly fee of $25.00.
