About this property
Simply Breathtaking
This is a spectacular one of a kind island property with stunning 270 degree views looking at nature and Mt. Washington and also only a short boat ride from Glendale Public Docks (where we have parking passes for you). You get to enjoy a sunset and sunrise every morning and night, which is just wonderful. The beautiful post and beam cabin was build in 1985 and ties it all together. The big porch gives lots of space to have great family BBQ’s and lots of space for everyone. We have two kayaks for the perfect 20-30 minute kayak around the island, which is an amazing way to wake up with some coffee (there are cup holders). The only catch is, you must have a boat to access the property.
When you request to book please mention:
1) Why boat are you planning to use to get to the island?
2) What is the age range of the guests in your group?
3) Have you lived or rented on island properties before?
This really helps us make sure we can accommodate your group.
Please ask any additional questions you might have. The newest upgrade to the home is a new tile bathroom finished in the spring of 2024.
There are three bedrooms in the main post and beam home.
Sunset room: King size bed with a great view of the water and sunrise from bed.
Sunset room: King size bed with a great view of the water and sunset from bed.
Loft: Queen size bed and twin bed. There is a fan here to help keep you cool at night.
Cabin by the water:
- 2 twin beds.

About the host
Hosted by Warner Nickerson
I am from Gilford NH and spent the summers on Welch Island. So when this property became available we did everything we could to get it. I love skiing, sailing, family time and being outside.
Why they chose this property
It's just a spectacular location with 270 degree views looking at nature and Mt. Washington and also only a short boat ride from Glendale Public Docks (where we have parking passes for you). You get to enjoy a sunset and sunrise every morning and night, which is just wonderful. The beautiful post and beam cabin was build in 1985 and ties it all together. The big porch gives lots of space to have great family BBQ’s and lots of space for everyone.
What makes this property unique
There is nothing like this location on Winnipesakee. The views are 270 and look directly at Mt. Washington and Timber Island (which is an uninhabited island) meaning you don’t hear any traffic from the nearby roads and your looking at picturesque nature and not other lake homes.
