About this property

Mountain Lake House - summer fun at the lake and outdoor activities year round!

This home is located in Silver Lake, NH just across the street from pristine Silver Lake. You will find two nice beaches across the street for access to swimming in the Lake. The house has everything you need for summer fun, with a canoe, 4 kayaks, beach chairs, tubes etc. all on hand. Just 20 minutes from North Conway you can enjoy everything that area has to offer including the Saco River, dining and shopping.

Winter fun also awaits, just 10 minutes from King Pine Ski Area and all the skiing and winter sports that North Conway has to offer. The house is also great for snowmobile enthusiasts, located on corridor 19 of the NH snowmobile trail network.

The home has 3 bedrooms and a loft/attic space that can sleep 2-4 additional people. Two bedrooms have queen beds, and one has two fulls. There is additional sleeping available on pull out beds in the living room and Apre Ski Room as well.

Downstairs you will find a well laid out space, with a full cooks kitchen, large dining room table that seats up to 12 people and a breakfast nook area that seats 4. The living room area features a sectional sofa and smart tv with all the apps you could need including YouTube TV, Netflix and Hulu. There is also additional space to socialize in the "Apre Ski" room off the kitchen. The Apre Ski room is the perfect place to catch up with family and friends by the fire in the winter months! It's fun all year round, but winters are a special time in the mountains of NH.

We hope you will enjoy your stay on beautiful Silver Lake. We love it here and hope you do to!

Beautiful Family Stay

The Knoll View is a wonderful house for a family vacation. My husband and I were traveling with our adult children, their spouses and 4 grandkids. The space worked well, and the girls loved the bunkhouse room with trundle beds! The house is older but with updated bathrooms and kitchen. The location is right across the street from a small public beach, but there is a larger more secluded beach a short walk away from the house. Silver Lake itself is clear, clean, and uncrowded even on the weekends. It's a great lake for kids. The house came with kayaks and a canoe! The only negative is that the AC was not working. The owner tried to have it fixed before we arrived but to no avail. It would have been nice to have a heads up. That being said, when I contacted Andrew, he responded promptly and had a technician at the house the next day. The AC was still not working when we left, but not much could have been done as it was the weekend. Andrew texted updates daily to see how we were doing. We did have one uncomfortable night, but were lucky that the weather was cooler the other days. Overall, I would definitely stay at the Knoll View House again. We all had a blast!

Lovely New England getaway

This is a beautiful home, comfortable and well appointed and clearly cared for by the owners. There's lots of room for a a couple of families to spend time together as well as have a bit of privacy. The lake across the street is lovely and has some nice walking trails around it. The host was super responsive. We highly recommend!

Overall wonderful with a few hiccups

Kayaks and fishing gear and floaties galore! Totally set up for an awesome getaway with family and kids. We rented this house specifically bc it could fit 10 of us in real beds, was dog friendly, and had AC. A few of my kids still go to sleep early, so separate rooms and AC is a must for the hot summer nights and a family member with very bad allergies. Was unfortunate the AC broke on us upon entry and couldn’t get fixed. The kids were unable to safely sleep in the loft area with the 5 beds (it got up to 100 degrees in there even with the fans on!) so we had to shuffle everyone around and stick kids in weird, slightly cooler places. It was hot and sticky in all the rooms. New Hampshire summers aren’t as cool as night as they used to be!! The road the house is on is busy and people take the curve way too fast. While the beach is close, it’s a little bit of a heart racer to get there. And we had two leeches from the lake on feet! 😱 that was a first for us! Besides the uncomfortable nights (this momma didn’t get much sleep) the location was great. The lake was lovely, Village Store a dream, and the drive to Conway for stores and mini golf was easy and fun. Ups and downs, but over all a wonderful stay.

Outside

We enjoyed everything about our trip. The only thing is the outside furniture was not very clean full of mold, so that part was not very good disappointing because we would’ve liked to sit on that patio with the view of the lake and we tried to wash the furniture and it did not clean but all the rest was awesome.

Nice spacious place, excellent host

We had a wonderful time with family here. There was plenty of room. It was clean with plenty of supplies. Andrew even had a delivery sent during our stay in case we needed more paper towels etc. He answered our questions promptly during our stay. My children and grandchildren really enjoyed Nichols beach which was approx a five minute drive down the road. The lake was comfortable, but refreshing. They also enjoyed kayaking at Monument Beach. We took a trip to Storyland which was only about 45 minutes away. We also enjoyed North Conway which was only 35 min away. Lots of fun and lots to do in the area!

Family Lake Fun

My family (7 adults and 3 children) rented this property for a week. We had a wonderful time! We loved the lake and enjoyed using the kayaks and floats. The house was spacious and we had plenty of room. We loved watching the sunset over the lake from the dining room window. The kitchen was so well stocked and we enjoyed playing games in the evening. I would highly recommend renting this property.

Perfect house for a family of 5!

This is the cutest farm house with everything we needed for our vacation. It was a quick 25 minute drive to Cranmore and Attitash. The owner was super friendly and everything was super easy. Even my husband, who doesn't like to travel, said he would definitely stay here again!

Great and comfortable getaway in the mountains

We stayed at this house for three nights over a holiday weekend and really enjoyed it. The kitchen is well-stocked and enjoyable to use, there is plenty of space to spread out (with two living rooms, one more of a tv room and one more of a den with a woodburning stove and lower lighting), beds have comfortable mattresses and sheets, the house gets lots of light, and the house comes with a canoe and four kayaks and it’s only a short walk down the hill and across the street to put them into the lake. Great communication with the owner.

Perfect family vacation.

We were able to vacation with our entire family and have activities for all ages. The house is wonderful with plenty of communal space while still allowing us quiet time if needed. They have really thought of everything. The area is beautiful and peaceful. Definitely not a tourist trap, but close enough to enjoy day trips if you want. We already are talking about going back!! Thank you for this wonderful vacation.
