#HOT TUB JUST ADDED!#
Lake life, all year! No matter what the season, this home on pristine Forest Lake is a must-see for those seeking a comfortable, peaceful home base for their White Mountains vacation. The lake vibe permeates this home every season - with incredible view of the water lapping the small bay in the summer, the peaceful sight of the frozen lake in the winter, not to mention beautiful sunsets and the fiery spectacle of Fall Foliage. Delight in the incredible waterfront lawn, complete with with a screened in and weather-protected sitting area - an amazing place to enjoy a morning cup of coffee or read a book right by the water, rain or shine, or enjoy the firepit or a swim in the calm lake waters. Hot dogs by the water? Check, thanks to the outdoor propane grill. Warm up in the hot tub after a refreshing dip? Check, with the newly added outdoor hot tub. A seasonal dock is provided (a great photo-op for kids and adults alike!), and you can use it to jump in the water or take the kayak, canoe, Stand Up Paddle or rowboat provided out for a tour of the beautiful mountain lake - maybe you can spot a bald eagle, a loon, or even a moose? And if you enjoy fishing, you'll be delighted to know that the lake is host to a number of species of trout, bass, and bluegill. Fishing is common year round, and ice fishing is quite popular in the winter as well!
Inside, you will be greeted by an open concept living space with a fully equipped kitchen, dining and living area, accented by a propane stove to cozy up to weather gets chilly. On the same level, you will find a primary bedroom with king bed, a private bathroom with tiled shower and Toto Washlet toilet/bidet combo. Start your day right by waking up to a beautiful view of the lake!

The bedrooms feature 2 twin beds, 2 twin over twin bunk beds, and a queen bed, respectively.
While spending all your time at the lake may be tempting, don't forget to venture out and visit the area! It has so much to offer, no matter what the season. In the winter, you can snowmobile right across the lake and access the area's extensive snowmobile trail, with amazing terrain of all types, or head to one of the nearby ski resorts for some downhill or alpine fun - from Bretton Woods, consistently top rated for snow and scenery, less than 30 minutes away, to the challenging slopes of Cannon, 25 minutes away, or Wildcat, 1 hour away. For a local experience, you will love the quick 10 minute ride to Littleton, a New England gem that was recently voted one of the 10 best small town main streets in America - full of quaint shops, art galleries, and fantastic restaurants and breweries. Visit one of our many great parks, from Franconia Notch (25 minutes away) to Crawford Notch or the White Mountains National Forest, or take a ride up Mount Washington on the oldest cog rail in the world, or visit Santa's Village or one of the many other local attractions - all within an hour drive!
