About this property

Vintage Lake Lodge - Boat Slip • Skiing • Ice Fishing • Dog Friendly • Cozy

Step back in time while enjoying all the modern comforts at Spring Harbor Lodge, a beautifully restored 1930s home nestled along the channel leading to Smith Cove on Lake Winnipesaukee. One of two homes on this peaceful waterfront property, the Lodge offers timeless New England character, cozy gathering spaces, beautiful water views, and an ideal location for enjoying everything the Lakes Region has to offer—in every season.

Lovingly updated to preserve its original charm while adding thoughtful modern touches, Spring Harbor Lodge comfortably hosts up to 10 guests and is the perfect home base for summer days on the lake, colorful fall weekends, snowy winter getaways, and spring escapes.

Main Floor

The welcoming main level is designed for gathering and relaxing. It features a queen bedroom, ¾ bath, charming kitchen with direct access to the sunroom, classic dining room, deck overlooking the water, and a cozy living room.

During the warmer months, open the windows and enjoy the lake breeze. In the winter, settle into the living room around a warm, cozy fire while watching the snow fall outside—a perfect place to relax with a book, play games with family, or warm up after a day of skiing or ice fishing.

Upstairs

The second floor offers a newly remodeled full bathroom with double sinks and a shower, plus three inviting bedrooms:

Primary Bedroom: King-size bed
Second Bedroom: Queen-size bed
Third Bedroom: Queen-size bed and full-size bed

Lower Level

Head downstairs to the game room for a friendly match of pool, ping pong, or darts. It's a fun gathering space for guests of all ages and especially nice for evenings or snowy days spent at the Lodge.

Summer on Lake Winnipesaukee

Summer is all about enjoying the water. Start your morning with coffee on the back deck overlooking the channel, spend the afternoon boating or kayaking, and unwind in the evening with a glass of wine in the cozy front sunroom.

Guests enjoy access to a shared dock and designated boat slip for boats up to 25 feet. Four kayaks and bicycles are also available to share between the two homes, making it easy to explore the lake and surrounding area.

Gather around the gas fire pit in the evening as the sun sets over the channel for the perfect ending to a summer day.

The Glendale Town Docks are just two minutes away and provide easy lake access with two public launch ramps. A boat launch pass is available upon request.

Winter at the Lodge

Spring Harbor Lodge is just as special when the snow begins to fall. The lake and surrounding mountains transform into a beautiful winter landscape, making the Lodge a cozy retreat for a weekend getaway, family vacation, or ski trip.

Gunstock Mountain Resort is only about a 5-minute drive away, making it easy to spend the day skiing, snowboarding, or enjoying other winter activities before returning to the Lodge to warm up by the fire.

For guests who love being out on the lake year-round, the property's location along the channel provides convenient access to Lake Winnipesaukee for ice fishing when ice conditions safely allow. Spend the day enjoying the crisp winter air and frozen lake, then come home to a warm fire, a game of pool or ping pong downstairs, and a relaxing evening with family and friends.

Even if winter sports aren't on your agenda, there is something special about simply slowing down here during the colder months. Watch the snow fall over the water, enjoy peaceful winter lake views, sip coffee from the warmth of the Lodge, or gather together around the fireplace after exploring the Lakes Region.

Fall & Spring

Fall brings beautiful New Hampshire foliage, crisp mornings, scenic drives, hiking, and peaceful evenings by the fire pit. Spring offers a quieter side of Lake Winnipesaukee as the area begins to come alive again—perfect for guests looking for a relaxing getaway before the busy summer season.

Great stay at the Lake!

We had a great week at the Spring Harbor. The house had everything we needed, was in a great location with easy access to the water and was super comfortable. The Lilly Family was great at communicating and answering questions. We would definitely recommend this property.

Second year at the lodge. House was once again perfect. Our host checked in to say hello and make sure everything was tip top. Lounging on the dock with drinks and friends, watching the loon’s nest across the channel has become our new favorite pastime. This stay was spectacular

Our stay at the lodge was amazing. The house was clean and easy to navigate. Everything that you could think of was already there at the house. The kitchen is updated and the appliances were brand new. The fire pit and and grill were ready to go with propane and were a great addition. Beth and her family answered all of my questions before and even during our trip. I would absolutely stay at this house again!

Clean, Welcoming, We wanted for nothing!

Beautiful home with warm woodwork throughout. The entire house was immaculate. Fabulous front porch for playing games or setting up a puzzle for the week. Excellent access to the water - and 4 kayaks for our use was wonderful. We had 3 generations together for the week and the house was perfect - there was space for everyone, plenty of towels, and everything was fully stocked - from kitchen utensils to toilet paper! Thank you so much.

Great house stocked with everything you need. Some houses give you enough for one day but this house was fully stocked for the week! Extra touches of walking into a bottle of prosecco and dog treats! AC in every room and comfortable areas to sit with family! We would definitely go back!
