About this property

Summer Getaway with Private Lake Access

Property Description:
Welcome to our rustic summer house, located near the picturesque Lake Chocorua, just a 7-minute walk from the house. The property offers a spectacular view of a ten-acre meadow and Mount Chocorua beyond, all steeped in rich history. Todd Lincoln, son of Abraham Lincoln, visited the property many times in the late 19th century.

Our farmhouse is open from mid-June to the end of September and comfortably sleeps eight guests. It features two full baths, a fully equipped kitchen, a washer and dryer, a large dining room, and a living room with a cozy fireplace. Enjoy the screened-in porch and the private beach on Lake Chocorua, just a five-minute walk from the house.

The Space:
The house is set on very private rolling meadows with wooded acres and views of Mount Chocorua. You'll drive through a gate, named "Willow Gate" after the two willows that once stood there. The long driveway leads through the meadow, past the barn, to the house and parking area at the back.

Inside, you'll find plenty of sheets, blankets, and towels. The fully stocked kitchen includes dishes, cups, pots and pans, a coffee pot, toaster, microwave, and dishwasher. We provide dish soap, laundry soap, and paper products, and kindly ask that you replace any items you use in large quantities. While there is no air conditioning, fans are provided throughout the house.

Well-behaved dogs are welcome. The house is perfect for relaxing and reading, with a large collection of books and games available for guests.

Guest Access:
The house is locked for your privacy and security. You will access it through the white front door.

Other Things to Note
A space heater is available if needed, additional heaters upon request. We kindly ask that guests take their trash to the transfer station. We provide a permit that also allows you to park in Tamworth residents-only areas.

We hope you have a wonderful stay!

One of our favorite places

We have stayed at Willow Gate for several years and always look forward to it. The porch alone is worth it. The area is wonderful. We always bring our kayaks/canoe, and our dog never wants to leave. Our toddler had fun too.

Idyllic Setting

This was our second stay on this wonderful property, and again it didn't disappoint. We love everything that goes with staying here- the incredible views of Mt Chocorua beckoning a hike, the quiet solitude broken only by the calls of the Loons, the inviting crystal clear lake, the endless walking trails available either from the door or a short drive away, the wildlife (which this year included a bear, a moose and her two calves, turkeys, and an endless stream of hummingbirds all right in the field below the house), the creaky stairs telling stories of years past as a carriage house, the interesting history of the Chocorua Lake area and the dedication of it's residents to preserve and protect it, the local bakery and farmers market in Tamworth, the impressive library of books lining the shelves... The list is endless. Thank you, Coulter family, for sharing your piece of history and place of idyllic relaxation with our family.
