The Space:
The open-concept living and dining area is warm, charming, and flooded with natural light.

The fully equipped kitchen flows naturally from the living space and has everything you need: gas range/oven, full-size refrigerator, microwave, drip and Keurig coffee maker, toaster, knife set, and a full complement of cookware and dishware. A breakfast bar seats 2–3 for casual mornings, a kitchen table seats 4 with direct views of the lake, and a separate dining area seats 6 for bigger group meals. Three seating zones — this cottage was built for family gatherings.

Guest Access:
Guests will have full, exclusive access to the entire cottage during their stay — all indoor living spaces, both main-level bedrooms, the bunk room, the full bathroom, the fully equipped kitchen, and all common areas including the living room, and breakfast bar.
Outdoors, guests have access to various seating areas, a private grill, and shared dock access — your direct gateway to Newfound Lake for swimming, fishing, and waterfront relaxation. The shared firepit on the property is also available for evening use. Two designated parking spaces are included with the cottage.
This is a cottage community with 6 cottages and a main house on the property. Some outdoor amenities such as the dock and firepit are shared with neighboring cottage guests, so we ask that all guests be respectful of the space and those around them.
The Neighborhood:
Bristol, NH is a classic New England lakeside town with a relaxed, welcoming energy that has drawn families back to Newfound Lake for generations. The cottage sits right on the eastern shoreline at the foot of the lake, putting you within walking distance of local restaurants, a beloved ice cream shop, and a public beach — everything you need for a perfect lake day without ever getting in the car.
Newfound Lake itself is the crown jewel of the area. Fed by eight underground freshwater springs, it is widely regarded as the cleanest lake in all of New England and one of the most pristine bodies of water in the entire Northeast. The surrounding landscape — rolling mountains, dense pine forests, and quiet coves — makes it one of the most scenic and unspoiled settings the Lakes Region has to offer.
Beyond the waterfront, Bristol and the surrounding towns offer a wonderful mix of outdoor adventure and local charm. You're a short drive from Wellington State Park, Polar Caves, Cardigan Mountain trailheads. For bigger outings, Weirs Beach, Meredith Village, the Tilton Outlets, and the Mt. Washington Boat Cruise are all within easy reach. In the winter months, Ragged Mountain and Gunstock Ski Area are both accessible for a great day on the slopes.
Whether you're here to fish, hike, ski, boat, or simply sit on the dock and do nothing at all — this neighborhood delivers in every season.
Getting Around:
A personal vehicle is recommended for making the most of your stay. Bristol and the surrounding Lakes Region are best explored by car, and having your own transportation gives you the flexibility to chase sunsets, hit the slopes, explore nearby towns, or find that perfect fishing spot on your own schedule.
From the cottage, you're just a short walk from dining, ice cream, and the public beach — making it easy to leave the car behind for most of your lakefront days. For day trips, major routes connect you quickly to Meredith, Plymouth, Laconia, and beyond.
Ride-share availability is limited in the area, so personal transportation is strongly advised. Two parking spaces are included with the cottage.
