An ideal place to spend a week with friends and family." - "The location can't be beat! Right on the lake. With your own dock if you have a boat or rent Rob's. We rented Rob's and took a trip into Meredith & Wolfeboro. Very nice being on the lake. Everything you need is at the house. We cooked in most of the week.

Guest Reviews:

- "We had a great stay at Alex and Amanda's property for a summer getaway. The house is close to a state park beach, hiking trail, and Gunstock for various activities. We also took the advantage of the firepit and it was totally a highlight of our trip. Communication was prompt and the hosts were very nice to accommodate our requests. The house is not very big but has everything needed and actually organized and decorated in a very nice taste. The only suggestion we would like to make is that the bathroom may receive an update. The bathtub finishing was flaking off, and it somehow smelled when we checked in, not sure from the shower curtain or something else. In summary, we really liked the place and thank you Alex and Amanda! We would like to come back in the winter for skiing!"

Guest Reviews:

- "This was our second year spending a week in the summer at Cindy's place on Mark Island. The property is wonderful and the location is fantastic! We could not recommend this more. Thank you once again! - Dan and Kim Masse" - "Had a great time! Plenty to love and exactly as advertised." - "My family and I stayed here for over a week and enjoyed the beautiful spot on Mark Island as well as the rest of Winnipesaukee. Cindy was a wonderful host and the house is equipped with all the thoughtful touches that make a family island vacation more enjoyable. There is plenty of dock space, wonderful swimming, and great fishing right off the dock for kids and adults. The kids loved the bunkhouse and we were able to spend time together as a family but still have some privacy and space when we wanted. The neighbors are very friendly and there are walking trails through the woods that run over the whole island to explore. Could not recommend it more!"

Guest Reviews:

- "We had an amazing stay, the property was gorgeous, had all the amenities we needed. Communication with owners was wonderful. Felt like a home away from home. " - "My family and I had the best week staying at the cottage it was so nice having a boat dock!! And the lake was beautiful and really big!! " - "Our little family of 4 (Mom, Dad, 14 yo girl, 11 year old boy) wanted a chill relaxing place to have a workcation the week between when school ended and summer camps began. The owners are local and fantastic to deal with. The house came with everything we needed, including shampoo/conditioner, grill supplies, 4 bikes, 4 kayaks, a dock! Beth and Cody made sure we had everything we needed and checked in on us. Beth even gave us a tour of the lake on her boat! The kids were able to use the bikes to ride down to the beach and spend the day there. It was easy to launch the kayaks from the shed by the waterfront. When we say waterfront, we mean the backyard! There were also 2 firepits we could use, but we didn’t have time! The dog also had a wonderful time. They even left special treats for her and had a pooper scooper by the shed. We are totally coming back next year. Thanks again for sharing your love of the lake with us!"

Guest Reviews:

- "this time of year is the start of a busy summer, especially since Bike Week was extended for it's 100th anniversary. Suprisingly, the entire week was very peaceful. The other visitors in the area were very friendly as well. The owners don't bother you on a daily basis. For the most part, they let you know they are there if you need anything, and they are easy to contact if necessary. I loved sitting on the newly built deck to have my morning coffee and do some work before the heat increased. Good thing for air conditioning. Nonetheless, the private beach was my favorite part. Sitting on the dock and watching the boats go by was my second favorite. I will definitely be contacting Bob and his wife again to stay. It was the long awaited relaxations since COVID hit, that I needed to get back into reality."

Camp Nutmeg-Boat needed
Cottage
Gilford

BEST VIEW ON THE LAKE! BRING YOUR BOAT! ON AN ISLAND!

No car access

Our cherished family cabin has been in the family since 1912. This gem is lovingly known as camp nutmeg and arguably has the best view on the lake.

Enjoy a relaxing getaway sleeping steps away from the water. Nutmeg is known around the island for its large windows and large porch that creates the best spot to listen to the water or watching the summer thunderstorms roll in.

Can reach any town around the lake by boat!

The space
We have a guest parking pass at Glendale which you can use to park you're car.
There is limited 3 hour dock spaces for guests and use of boat launch. There is no trailer parking
but you could contact a local boat yard for trailer parking. We use Fayes boatyard in Gilford they charge 10 dollars a night when you launch your boat there for 30 dollars. We have a jet ski rack which is on the property available to use, but you would need to put it in when you get there and take it out when you leave.

Other things to note
Camp Nutmeg is owned by Christine, who is the 5th generation owner. Christine grew up on the lake and enjoys sunsets on the dock and boating to various restaurants along the lake for dinner.

VERY IMPORTANT
Our house is easy to spot however can be difficult to DOCK AT. This location is perfect for experienced boaters who *have their own boat* . We are surrounded by rock ledges and parking at the dock is only recommended for experienced boaters .

The water can get low in the fall. Experience boating in wind, rain, and sometimes low water is recommended.

Owner is happy provide more details on how to dock safely and location of rocks.

Owner not responsible for any damages to your personal water craft.
