About this property

Camp on Granite Lake

Rejuvenated but rustic camp. Relaxing open living space has large windowed porch to sit and enjoy the lake views. Open concept living area is roomy and cozy. Modernized kitchen with new stove and refrigerator makes meal prep and clean up a breeze.
There are kayaks (4), paddle boards (2) and a canoe to explore the clean, clear water and catch sight of the loons. Life vests avail from age 1 and older. (There's even a doggie vest for small to med dogs). Water toys, beach chairs and swim fins also available.
Mount Monadnock hiking trails are within easy driving distance (19 miles) and Southern NH is bursting with nature trails. Granite Gorge Ski Area is 5 miles away and Southern NH and VT ski areas within an hour's drive. Check out the web for Southern NH and VT cross country and downhill ski areas within easy driving distance.
We have tried to accommodate all ages in setting up Grammy camp. Having a large family, we understand keeping children busy so parents can relax. One side of porch is full of toys, games, and a GIGANTIC tub of Legos; the other side has a comfortable sitting area for morning coffee, tea or evening cocktail.
Satellite TV, streaming device and wireless Internet keeps you in touch with modern life and children in touch with their favorite programs.
Grammy Camp stay is quiet and stress free. Take a walk around the lake (3 miles) and enjoy the warm southern New Hampshire sun.
Camp is fully insulated and heated so you will be toasty warm even in a Winter blizzard. The town road is paved and plowed. Keene (11 miles) is a great walk around college community with ethnic restaurants, interesting shops and the new Monadnock Food Coop.
Maximum sleeps 4 guests. Minimum 2 night. Maximum 13 nights

Wonderfully quiet and relaxing get away
Grammy camp was a very relaxing and needed getaway. The property was exactly as pictured and described. Many things i normally bring were already there including flashlights and lighters for the gas grill, yes there is a gas grill!! The lack of AC was not a problem the days were in the 80's and it was very comfortable with the trees and lake breeze. The weather was a problem with heavy rains and flooding for the whole area from New Hampshire to New York so when we arrived part of North Shore Road flooded but we were able to drive thru it, the lake itself was flooded with the dock under water but a couple days later it came down and we took out the kayaks and the Canoe. This kind of weather is not normal this being record flood conditions and roads washing out in nearby counties, but we were not affected driving around in the area. Can't plan the weather when you book your stay but a couple days of rain at grammy camp was not a problem with wi fi and satellite TV and we stayed dry and well above the water. The beach is quite close to the camp and is perfect for kids as it is shallow with a dock that's tethered to a cinder block and rope thats about 75 feet long and with kids standing in the water with it all the way out they were only waist deep. At the dock in front of the camp its deeper you can swim off the dock for adults and its deeper. Special thanks to Joan and her husband for our stay at Grammy Camp Our line of communication was perfect with vrbo messaging!!

Wonderful
Wanted to immerse myself in the New Hampshire wilderness and was not disappointed. Beautiful lake and woods. Isolated feeling but not quite alone as there are quite neighbors on either side. Close to city/ shopping (Keene). Absolutely loved it. Clean/ efficient. Just bring ur groceries and yourself! Ready to walk into and have a restful stay. Thank you. So glad I found you and Granny cabin!!!

Great locale/ great rental
Joan’s Grammy Camp was a cozy rental with everything you need in place. Lake right across from house was nice vista. Wish we could have stayed longer and enjoy the lake more. Joan was always a text away and responded immediately-this was more for advising her of our arrival and then departure. Didn’t need anything-Grammy thought of everything! Thank you Joan for sharing your special vacation home with us. Jim & Janine.
