Enjoy the endless lake views at this elegant Gilford home, perfectly nestled on the scenic shores of Lake Winnipesaukee! When you’re not boating, fishing, or relaxing at the community beach, take a refreshing plunge in the shared pool or simply unwind on a sun-drenched lounge chair with a good book. There are also tennis and basketball courts available offering plenty of family-friendly fun.

When looking to explore, you’ll find Gunstock Mountain Resort four miles away, offering hiking, zip-lining, skiing, and snowboarding for year-round outdoor recreation. The Bank of New Hampshire Pavillion, Mount Major State Forest, and Weirs Beach are also under seven miles from home.

Upon arrival, continue the blissful relaxation with the beautiful views highlighted by the covered patio - ideal for sipping coffee in the morning, watching the sunrise, and observing the local wildlife. The whole group will love kicking back in the bright living area, adorned with comfortable furnishings, a large smart TV, a cozy fireplace, and tasteful decor. Play board games or sink into the plush sofa to catch up on your favorite shows. A stylish, full kitchen welcomes you to create effortless beach snacks or delicious feasts with stainless steel appliances, sparkling counters, and an adjacent dining space looking out onto the tranquil landscape. As the evening winds down, gather around the firepit to share s’mores under the stars and reminisce about the day’s adventures.

mini family getaway

Very nice cute place! The pool is a community pool with a great view. Other people at the community are really nice. Lots of kids for ours to play with. The little lake beach at the community is small but super fun. Will come again!

Beautiful lake views

The home is beautiful and very nicely appointed. Great views of the lake and excellent internet. The condo complex is built in a heavily forested area and is beautifully landscaped.

Vacasa is the worst

The property is fine. It's a large condo complex which seems common this NH lakes region. Vacasa sent me no less than 20 texts/emails and I was there for a very short period of time. It was so annoying. When I needed help, however, they were unhelpful and incompetent. I would never book through Vacasa again and I feel that VRBO misrepresents themselves in working with these secondary affiliates. Too bad, VRBO had been my go-to for years.
