This spectacular private home sits on the calm side of Rattlesnake Island with a southern exposure and gorgeous views from every room. The island is easily accessible by private boat. Island living is amazing as it is so peaceful and rarely bugs or mosquitos!

We rented houses all over Lake Winnepasaukee for 15 years and when we rented this one we knew we had to buy it! What makes this house so special is that it sits out over the water with views from every room making it cheerful even on rainy days. We have a Boat House (which is very rare) a large dock for sunbathing with stairs and ladder access into the crystal clear water. There is docking for two boats. Towns, restaurants and grocery store can all be accessed by boat. Car parking is in Alton at the Rattlesnake Island private lot.

We do a lot of entertaining, so the kitchen and pantry are fully stocked along with gourmet cookware, gadgets, serving pieces and dishes. The dining table outside sits 8 and has a retractable awning to block the sun or rain. The dining table inside seats 8 and the granite island seats 4. Sliding doors on all sides of the house and large wood ceiling fans keep the house cool and comfortable. We also have air conditioning for those hot summer nights.
The covered porch with double size swing bed is a favorite spot to read or nap and the potted flowers on all the decks are gorgeous. House is baby proofed with easy to use gates on the deck.
The master bedroom has 3 sliding doors facing east and south for amazing views right from your bed! The deck off the master has a large bed to relax and enjoy the view. Master bathroom features granite countertops, double sinks, glass shower and bidet. Guest rooms all have sliding glass doors and ceiling fans. The loft bedroom has spectacular views and has two double beds and 1 double futon. The guest bath has granite countertops and glass shower. The utility room off kitchen has a washer and dryer.
Waterskiing/wakeboarding is amazing right from the dock as we are in a well protected area.
The bass fishing is also fantastic right off the dock.
Rattlesnake Island is a 2 mile long island on Lake Winnepasaukee which has 300 homes lining its shores. The island has the highest point on the entire lake making for spectacular views from its summit. Rattlesnake Island has a hiking trail that runs down the spine of the island. It is one of the most sought after hiking trails on the lake, but access to the island is limited to residents.
Strict vetting process on renters!
