Little House on the Lake in the Forest *In summer months we require a minimum stay of 7 nights, Saturday to Saturday.* Wake up to the call of loons from this tiny and cozy lakefront cabin. Nestled at the remote base of Mt. Kearsarge, with unobstructed views of Ragged Mountain, this location affords year-round adventure on the protected south shore of Bradley Lake. Five minutes from Proctor Academy, 90 minutes from Boston. This retreat mixes ample amenities and high-speed internet with outdoor adventure!In the warmer seasons enjoy easy access to hiking at nearby Mt. Kearsarge and Winslow State Parks, a 58-mile long rail trail for running or biking, swimming on the far end of Bradley Lake, Mountain Biking at Highland Mountain Bike Park, and golfing at Kearsarge Valley Golf Course. Canoe out into the lake (canoe and life jackets provided), or fish for smallmouth bass, pickerel, and perch. Spend evenings catching fireflies and roasting marshmallows around the fire pit. Swimming is not allowed directly at the cabin, as per town regulations. There is a public beach less than a mile from the cabin. The second (and best) place to swim is the 'swimming island' in the middle of the lake which you can access by canoe (in under 5 minutes). In the winter enjoy downhill skiing at Mt Sunapee & Ragged Mountain, ice fishing, as well as backcountry (XC) skiing & snowshoeing on the Proctor Academy trails, part of the Sunapee Ragged Kearsarge Greenway. Spend evenings cozied up by the wood stove with a glass of wine or cup of tea.The entire cabin was recently renovated with hickory cabinetry and flooring, stainless steel appliances, and rustic, mid-century modern decor.The kitchen is fully equipped with all the basics: refrigerator and freezer, oven, stove, toaster, French press for coffee, water kettle, blender, pots and pans, cooking and eating utensils.The cabin has one bedroom with a queen bed on the first floor. A wooden ladder with handrails up to a half-floor loft area offers a shared space with an additional queen bed. Individuals staying in the loft should be nimble-bodied.The cabin offers robust and fast internet at 1 gigabit so bring your laptops! There is intentionally no standalone TV in the cabin, in an effort to keep the cabin a sanctuary in which to unplug. A selection of books and board games are available for your enjoyment.
