Airbnbs on Lake Winnipesaukee
Airbnbs on Lake Winnipesaukee are a hot item during summer, but here’s a lesser-known secret — they’re awesome all year round. That’s because of not only the lake but the natural surrounds, which include everything from hiking and biking access to picturesque views and more. It’s not all about New England islands — the lakes themselves are just as good.
Lake Winnipesaukee Airbnb on a secluded island
You might raise an eyebrow but this remote island escape near Glendale lives up to its lofty title. This New Hampshire lakehouse rental is accessible by boat. Once there, you can spend your days roaming in the woodlands, diving in the lake, or cruising the smaller isles in the provided kayaks. A smaller bunkhouse cabin at the water’s edge is begging for a slumber party.

Situated on the southernmost tip of the lake, this charming community has a tranquil vibe, breathtaking water views, and a catalog of outdoor activities. The home has a shallow entry beach and a dock, which is ideal for families who want space outside to run about and water sports fans. Host Shawn says it’s his family’s second home, so it’s well-stocked with everything you need, especially if you’re visiting with young ones.

The first floor is open-planned with a living room, kitchen-come-dining room, and bathroom. The two bedrooms are on the second floor, one with a queen and the other with a double and bunk.
