Moultonborough sits where the Lakes Region meets the White Mountains. Two public boat launches are three minutes away, the shore a twenty-minute walk, and ski country a drive in the other direction, and the woods around the house change with every month.
Summer on the waterBring the boat: two public launches are three minutes from the door. Mornings on the water, afternoons at a quiet beach, and dinner lakeside in Meredith or Wolfeboro.
Peak foliage in the backyardPeak color arrives in early October. The Castle in the Clouds trails look out over the whole lake, and the scenic drives are at their best.
Fresh snow at the houseGunstock and King Pine are the close ones, with Cranmore, Attitash and Waterville Valley within a day trip. Ski or snowmobile by day, then return to the hot tub and the fire. The season runs well into March.
Waterfalls on the trailThe quiet season. Trails reopen on Mount Major and Chocorua, the rivers run high, and the lake towns belong to the people who live here.

A house that sleeps nine is just as good for two. Take a king bedroom, keep the hot tub to yourselves, and let the days run slow.
The area
Good to know
The shore is about a twenty-minute walk. Two public boat launches are a three-minute drive, so you can bring your own boat and be on the water before breakfast.
Gunstock Mountain and King Pine are the nearest. Cranmore, Attitash and Waterville Valley are each within a day-trip drive, and the season usually runs into March.
See the pond hockey page. The New England Pond Hockey Classic is played on Meredith Bay, Lake Winnipesaukee, each February, a short drive from the house. The house sleeps nine, with a game room and hot tub, and books early for that weekend.
Yes. The Meredith Rotary Ice Fishing Derby runs out of Meredith Docks each February, a short drive from the house. In 2027 it is February 13–14, the weekend after the Pond Hockey Classic.
Yes, year-round. It is private to the house and the best part of a ski day.
Up to nine: two king bedrooms, a third bedroom with queen bunk beds and a single, and two and a half bathrooms. The whole house is reserved for one party at a time.
Very. Take a king bedroom, keep the hot tub and the fire to yourselves, and spend the days on the lake or the trails.
