Unplug completely at this warm, freshly redecorated retreat in the heart of the Lakes Region.

Major trail. <1 mile to swimming, paddle boarding, public boat launch & restaurants; 12 min to Wolfeboro. The full kitchen, W/D and cozy layout make it feel like your home away from home.
Our freshly redecorated cozy lake cottage in Alton Bay, New Hampshire, is a charming 725 sq ft retreat tucked right across from Lake Winnipesaukee, perfect for couples or small families craving a peaceful New England escape with easy access to adventure.
We've just completed a full refresh, so everything feels warm, inviting, and extra cozy from the moment you arrive. This intimate 2-bedroom, 1-bath cottage sleeps up to 4 comfortably: a king bed in the main bedroom and a trundle w/ two twins that can convert to a king in the second. The full kitchen is stocked with pots, pans, utensils, a coffee maker, and more so you can whip up meals at home. Curl up by the electric fireplace on chilly nights, or soak in natural light and stunning views from the bright sunroom. Step outside to your private yard with a firepit and seating for evening s'mores after a day of swimming / skiing and enjoy the convenience of in-unit washer and dryer for longer stays.
Come enjoy life at the lake!

Life on the Lake
The Hideaway is perfectly positioned to enjoy the very best of New Hampshire lake life. Ideally located in Alton Bay, you are just a short drive from the charming lakeside town of Wolfeboro, known as the oldest summer resort in America. For those seeking adventure, the mountain trails and public docks of Gilford are easily accessible, offering year-round recreation from skiing at Gunstock to summer concerts by the water. <1 mile to swimming, paddle boarding, public boat launch & restaurants. Whether you're here for the vibrant fall foliage or the tranquil summer mornings, the surrounding area provides an authentic escape into nature's finest setting.
Bonus perk: Right across the street is the iconic Alton Bay Seaplane Base—the only FAA-approved ice runway in the contiguous U.S.! Watch seaplanes splash down in summer or planes land on the frozen lake in winter (when conditions allow).
