Cozy A-frame Cabin- Walk to Hills pond/Sunset lake- 20 mins to gunstock

Welcome to Alton Shores! This A-frame style cabin offers all the vacation feels with proximity to everything. Minutes walk to one of 5 private association beaches on Hills Pond and Sunset Lake. Drive 10 minutes to Alton Bay and Lake Winnepesaukee where you can enjoy a meal on the water, a game of mini golf, or get out on the water. Coming in the winter? Gunstock is about 20 minutes away.

The knotty pine walls and working stone fireplace make this house the perfect place to gather and relax in summer or winter. The house offers an open floor-plan, a main floor bedroom, and a loft space that is effectively two separate bedrooms. Please note that there is no door to the loft space, and the second bedroom offers a curtain for privacy.

Enjoy the garage full of lake toys, or sit and relax around the outdoor fire-pit or cozy fireplace. The house comes complete with linens, a fully stocked kitchen, wifi, pack n play, highchair, and many additional amenities to make your stay more comfortable.

Please note: Guests are required to follow all association beach rules. These rules are in affect from Memorial Day to Columbus and prohibit dogs, fishing, fires, and grilling on the beaches.

An extremely cozy cabin
We love this area of the NH lakes and this is the ideal spot for a cozy stay. We were here in the wintertime but we're aiming to swing by in the summer at some point!

Stay in Alton Bay
We had a lovely stay in Alton Bay. The A Frame cottage was just as pictured. Perfect for cozy nights in playing board games by the fire. Lots of amenities nearby and we enjoyed visiting some of the towns. The host was responsive and very easy to work with. We’d definitely stay here again.

Great place for a quiet lake getaway
We are a family of 5, we enjoyed our week at the cabin and had everything we needed. It was great to be able to use the kayaks and paddle board. The lake and pond nearby are a short walk and a beautiful place to swim and paddle.

Great forest cabin with foliage views
Myself, my wife, our infant, and my brother and sister-in-law stayed at this cabin for the weekend to come and see the fall foliage. It's in a great location close to Alton Bay, but far enough out into the woods that you get lots of nature views. Visitor amenities in the cabin were great! Would rent again.

House provided everything we needed and at night the community lake was peaceful at sunset. Just far enough away from busy Lake Winnipesaukee but close enough to enjoy the restaurants, sights and hiking trails.

Perfect!
We had so much fun at this cabin! We felt instantly at home as soon as we walked in. The kids loved their rooms upstairs, all the beds and linens we comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking. I would rent this home anytime of year and know we would have a great home base for our family. Can’t wait for our next weekend escape at the cabin!
