Cozy cottage with beautiful lake views

Welcome to the Spring Street Retreat; a lakeside cottage nestled on a hill overlooking Alton Bay (one of Lake Winnipesaukee’s most popular coves). We're not waterfront, but water views can be enjoyed from the living room, from the dining table, from the deck, and even from your seating around our fire pit.

The cottage sleeps up to 6 guests; dogs are welcome for an extra $15/night per pet.

The cottage offers guests sunny, open living & dining areas, 2 cozy bedrooms, a small kitchen, 1 bathroom, and a ‘bonus’ room downstairs which acts as our entryway, mudroom, workspace, and hangout spot for the kiddos. We have boardgames & puzzles for guests, as well as a smart TV with Roku and Apple TV. There is a window AC unit in the main living space, which cools the living, dining, & kitchen areas.

Our bedrooms are small, but designed comfortably; outfitted with new mattresses & bedding, and each with small dressers and a place to put your luggage. Bedroom 1 has a queen bed, and bedroom 2 has a full bed and bunkbeds. There is no A/C in the bedrooms, however we have plenty of fans for the warmer nights.

Outdoors, we have a large deck with a propane grill, patio table with 4 chairs, and some comfy lounge seating – as well as an outdoor heater for those chillier nights. The deck features baby/pet gates on both openings to keep everyone safe. Walk up a short path from the deck to our large firepit on the hill, overlooking the lake. There’s also a dog run and a hammock amongst the trees.

The cottage is nestled up on a hill with complete privacy (woods) behind the house, and no one immediately on either side. Neighboring houses can be seen in front of the cottage; across the street.

Alton Bay offers restaurants, a country store, ice cream shops, mini golf, and a town beach… and it’s also one of the docking spots for the Mount Washington lake cruise boats. You’ll be just a 15 min drive from beautiful Ellacoya State Park and Gunstock Mountain, 20 mins from Wolfeboro, 25 mins from Weirs Beach, and 30 mins from Laconia & Meredith; and only a few minutes from Mount Major trailhead!
