About this property

Charming Cottage - Lake Winniepesaukee water access, boat slip, dogs welcome!

  • Welcome to The Cottage at Spring Harbor, a beautifully designed, modern home located along the peaceful channel leading to Smith Cove on Lake Winnipesaukee. One of two homes on this stunning 2-acre waterfront property, the Cottage offers a serene lakeside retreat just 5 miles from Gunstock Mountain Resort. Enjoy the quiet beauty of the water, breathtaking sunsets, and all the modern comforts you could want in a New England getaway.

    Much more than a traditional “cottage,” this home combines stylish design with a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. The open-concept kitchen and living area features stainless steel appliances, elegant countertops, a kitchen island/dining table, and large windows that fill the space with natural light and lake views.

    The main floor includes a queen bedroom and a ¾ bathroom, offering easy access and comfort for guests of all ages.

    Downstairs, you’ll find two additional bedrooms and a full bath:
    Primary bedroom: King-size bed, sitting area, and walkout patio
    Guest bedroom: Queen-size bed and twin bunk beds

    Wake up to the quiet of the channel and start your day with a cup of coffee on one deck overlooking the water. In the evening, gather around the gas fire pit, grill dinner outdoors, or simply relax and enjoy the peaceful setting.

    Guests have access to a shared dock with a designated boat slip (fits up to a 25-foot boat), plus four kayaks and four bicycles shared between both homes—perfect for exploring the lake and surrounding area. The Glendale Town Docks, just two minutes away, offer two public boat launch ramps, and a boat launch pass is available upon request.

    Pet Policy:
    We welcome one small dog per reservation (under 50 lbs). Please provide your dog’s breed and weight when booking; a pet fee applies. Cats and other animals are not permitted.

    Whether you’re relaxing on the deck, paddling through the channel, or hitting the slopes at Gunstock, The Cottage at Spring Harbor offers the perfect balance of modern luxury and lakeside tranquility.

Peaceful, Scenic and Memorable Lake Stay

We recently spent six nights at this beautiful lake house and it exceeded every expectation! From the moment we arrived everything was perfect. The house was clean and perfectly equipped for a relaxing getaway. What made it extra special was the welcome note and maple candies! The hosts clearly care about creating a great experience. If you’re looking for a peaceful and comfortable escape surrounded by nature, the Spring Harbor cottage is it!

Modern Lake Front Property with all Amenities & Dog Friendly

Our little family of 4 (Mom, Dad, 14 yo girl, 11 year old boy) wanted a chill relaxing place to have a workcation the week between when school ended and summer camps began. The owners are local and fantastic to deal with. The house came with everything we needed, including shampoo/conditioner, grill supplies, 4 bikes, 4 kayaks, a dock! Beth and Cody made sure we had everything we needed and checked in on us. Beth even gave us a tour of the lake on her boat! The kids were able to use the bikes to ride down to the beach and spend the day there. It was easy to launch the kayaks from the shed by the waterfront. When we say waterfront, we mean the backyard! There were also 2 firepits we could use, but we didn’t have time! The dog also had a wonderful time. They even left special treats for her and had a pooper scooper by the shed. We are totally coming back next year. Thanks again for sharing your love of the lake with us!

Awesome house and hosts

House was perfect. Very new and had all the amenities we were looking for with AC, porch, comfortable kitchen and living area, and lake/dock access. It was a really good time and we made a lot of long lasting memories. Beth was incredibly helpful with all our questions and super fast to respond. Would definitely go back!
