Meredith House | Family-Friendly, Spacious Winnipesaukee Retreat with Stunning Views

4 Bedroom House in Meredith

This family-ready, classic cape on Lake Winnipesaukee’s Bear Island is a vacation home where you can “get away from it all” while still being close to the main land, grocery stores, and the Lakes Region’s best restaurants and activities.
Situated on a three-acre peninsula, Camp Chaos is accessible only by boat. The expansive living space consists of a main house and a two-story addition, open kitchen, 1.5 bathrooms, outdoor shower, two sizable living spaces with TVs and lending libraries, a children’s library and play nook, two large fireplaces, and more.
Western-facing views means you can enjoy spectacular sunsets from the wrap-around deck and afternoon sun. The “Rusty Anchor” outdoor bar is cocktail hour ready and the large fire pit makes nightly S’mores a must.
The Camp Chaos peninsula is a short walk from Bear Island’s miles of walking trails and an easy 15-minute hike from St. John's on the Lake, a stone chapel that hosts pet-friendly services from Memorial through Labor Day. It’s also a quick boat ride and drive from beautiful downtown Meredith and a 15-minute boat ride from the Weirs Beach boardwalk.
Additional indoor perks include:
- A main house master bedroom with French doors that open onto the front deck and a spectacular view.
- A charming main house “bunk room” with one queen and two twin beds and lots of storage space.
- A second master bedroom (sleeps two) and additional bunk room with twin trundle beds and space to sleep four in the newly constructed Bunkhouse.
- A central kitchen with counter seating and all the equipment you’ll need to cook for a large group. The huge pantry, new refrigerator, and free-standing deep freezer mean you can stock-up and keep grocery runs to a minimum.
- Two Great Rooms (one in the main house and one in the addition)that are perfect for movie nights, board game tournaments, and lounging.
- Pack 'n Play crib
Outdoor amenities also include
A sprawling wrap-around, partially covered porch with classic Adirondack furniture, outdoor dining options, and phenomenal sunset views.
- A large grill and propane tanks.
- A sizable back deck with outdoor seating, an umbrella table, and open space that’ll keep sunbathers happy.
- Horseshoe pit and hammock.
- Covered outdoor bar with a sink, polished wood counters, and electrical outlets.
- U-Shaped dock that can fit three boats as well as plenty of deck chairs and inflatable toys.
*Please note that the property is professionally cleaned between guests and that summer 2020 cleaning protocols have been updated to reflect HomeAway/VRBO and CDC recommendations.
**Guests have the option of contactless check-ins and check-outs

Summary: It was such a beautiful, peaceful place. I loved it. We all did. The only issue is the parking and permits. It’s a collosul pain in the butt. Now that we’ve done it and we know what’s involved it’d be much less stressful. The property is perfect. I wouldn’t change a thing. Thanks for allowing us to share your home.
