We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation at this quiet spot on Lake Winnisquam. We were 4 adults and 2 children & 1 dog. Loved the dock for our pontoon, the walk-in beach area for the kids, the fire pit area, screened porch, everything! Hope to go again next year!
Great location, a very nice, clean home, with everything you need for a wonderful getaway. Been renting here for 3 years now and every year keeps getting better.
My family enjoyed our stay July 29-Aug 4 2023. The cottage is cozy and well stocked. The screen porch was great at night and the fire pit facing the lake was perfect.
Cabin had everything we needed for a couple of days visiting family in NB and using the campfire at night. Very peaceful and the lake is gorgeous this time of year. Host was responsive to questions over email.
The property location is hard to beat. We took advantage of the canoe and kayaks and loved the peacefulness of the no wake zone. We enjoyed playing board games on the large screened porch in the evening.
We had a fabulous time with our family. The house was quaint, comfortable, and clean. The location was quiet and the lake was beautiful. We loved the lake so much that we are looking into purchasing our own home on Winnisquam.
Such a fantastic property to recharge. The picturesque sunsets and conveniences of boating swimming fishing are amazing this is the perfect elegant but rustic retreat perfect for peace and quiet and family getaways
This is our 2nd year staying at this property and once again we enjoyed every minute of it. The house was left in perfect condition when we arrived, the location on the lake is fantastic, and the little beach was great for my two year old granddaughter to be able to splash around in. We were also able to get our pontoon boat in and out with ease. Overall, wonderful vacation!!
We loved our week vacation at The Camp. Perfect amount of privacy and right on a quiet part of Lake Winnisquam near the loon preserve with a serviceable dock for our rental pontoon. Very rustic, but has everything you need for a stay at the lake and only 10 minutes from downtown Meredith. The property owner, Lyman, was very responsive and helpful throughout the process. We will be back for a future stay!
We had a great time at this cottage. Cozy place. Water close by kyacks available and dock. We had our furry freinds 2 dogs and they had plenty of room to be outside on long leash. Concert at Pavillion close by,Weirs Beach close by and mills for shopping and good food.

About the host
Hosted by Lyman Jackson
We love the lakes and mountains of the Lakes Region! I grew up in Laconia and have returned here every year with my family for the last 20 years. Our kids have grown up enjoying watersports and fun times with cousins on this lake during our annual vacations. We're now thrilled to have a place to share with our family and with you. Get away and enjoy the lake!
Why they chose this property
Lake Winnisquam is a quieter lake than Winnpesaukee. The north end of the lake is even more peaceful. Yet, you can motor down to the wide-open part of the lake to tube, water ski or wake board. Hanging out at the sand bar at the "Mosquito Bridge" is also fun if you want to play ball / frisbee in the waist deep water and socialize. Winnisquam Marine is located there with a wide range of power, pontoon and other boats for rent.
What makes this property unique
Lake Winnisquam is the third largest lake in NH. It is just 2 hours from the Boston area. While our spot is secluded, you are 20 minutes from the Tanger outlet stores in Tilton as well as Market Basket and Walmart. Hanaford's supermarket is 10 minutes away in downtown Meredith. Check out minigolf at Pirates Cover or head to Weirs Beach to visit Funspot, billed as the largest arcade in the world or head over to Kellerhaus for the best ice cream bar experience and homemade chocolates. Downtown Laconia is also undergoing a rebirth with the re-opening of the historic Colonial Theater (a performing arts center) and, a few miles from downtown, the restored Lakeport Opera House. In Gilford, you'll find Gunstock Ski Area and the Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion featuring headline performers old and new.
