Claire’s Cottage has been in our family for nearly 60 years, and we are the 3rd and 4th generations to call this place ours. Enjoy the large open concept living space, with a big kitchen able to accommodate cooking family dinners. We provide a gas (propane) range, side-by-side refrigerator, coffee maker, blender, microwave, and toaster oven. The dining table seats 6, and there are 3 additional seats at the bar. Enjoy sitting in front of the working fireplace, where you can log in to any of your apps on our smart TV, watch DVDs, play board games, or enjoy reading one of our many books. With 4 adjoining bedrooms, the cottage comfortably accommodates 6-8 people: \- Summer bedroom (2 twins) & Autumn bedroom (double/full) \- Spring bedroom (2 twins) & Winter bedroom (double/full) There is a full bath. We provide all kitchen, bed, and bathroom linens, but you have to BYOBT (bring your own beach towels)! Just across the street, not even a 5 minute walk away, is Newfound Lake. Shared among Claire’s Cottage and our neighbors, the beach provides 90' of sandy access to pristine Newfound Lake. In the summer months, you can enjoy a shallow entry into the lake for lounging, floating, playing, or just enjoying the view! Pasquaney Bay boasts the best sunsets on the lake. It is a perfect location for ice fishing and snowmobile access during the winter. During the summer, you’re also welcome to bring your boat! Our parking area can accommodate a boat trailer, and while we do not have access to a mooring or dock, our guests can access the public boat launch at Wellington State Park, a short drive away. If you're looking for a ski getaway, our cottage is a great home base with proximity to some of the best resorts in central New Hampshire! We are 10 minutes from Tenney Mountain (Plymouth), 25 minutes from Ragged Mountain (Danbury), and less than an hour from Waterville Valley, Cannon Mountain, Gunstock, and Loon Mountain. During your stay, you can enjoy hanging out in our private gated yard, BBQ'ing on the provided propane grill (May-September), or exploring all of the wonders that Newfound Lake and the larger Lakes Region have to offer. Let us know if you have any other questions. We’d be happy to host your vacation! ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Smart TV - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Fenced yard - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundromat nearby ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In the mountains - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near an outlet shopping mall - Near the marina - On a lake ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 1,100 square feet ## Similar properties ![On the beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/40000000/39940000/39932100/39932089/90-0170b68e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Best value on Newfound Lake NH 2 day min Bristol - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 8.8 Excellent 26 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-14&endDate=2025-12-15&selected=39932089&PinnedHotelID=39932089&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach nearby](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/65000000/64480000/64478400/64478385/95ca027e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 3 Bedroom Cottage with Private Shared Sandy Beach!!
