All of this, while being equidistant between the mountains and Lake Winnipeasukee. What more could you want?
The home has been tastefully renovated with all the highest end touches, including a built in dining nook that overlooks the beautiful backyard and a bubbling stream in the distance. This, combined with a fireplace on the outside deck and a fully stocked kitchen, encourages both gathering and conversations inside and out.

Ellacoya State Park is only five minutes away, as well, which has a gorgeous beach and picnic tables along the water. Please reach out to Allie two weeks ahead of your stay and she can reserve your day pass for the days you would like to go to the beach during your stay.
