About this chalet rental
Large home. Great for multiple families. Ski or swim!
Welcome to our "tree house". This property is literally tucked away in the trees but is only 1.5 miles from the AMAZING Ellacoya State Park Beach with 600 ft of sandy shorefront. GUNSTOCK MOUNTAIN entrance is just over 1 mile. Our home is also close to several marinas where boat, PWC, and SUP rentals are available. It is the perfect place to kick back after a day on the mountains, lake or hike (the best hike in the Lakes Region, Mt. Major is 15 min away). The chalet is a spacious, comfortable oasis with exposed beams. You will love it!
Our 5 bedroom chalet offers sleeping for 12-14 guests. Open concept family room and eat in kitchen, 5 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, screen porch, large deck and a Tiki-inspired finished basement for the night owls in the crowd. The chalet has all you need for hosting multiple families - gas grill, dishwasher, Keurig, crock pot, griddle, casserole dishes and a large farm table which can accommodate 8-10 guests at once.
Or wander less than a mile down the street to the Ellacoya Tavern, The Breeze (our fav!) or Patrick's Pub for a hearty meal and let them worry about the dishes! This property offers the best of both worlds! The kids are sure to love the bunk bed options, the tire swing and exploring our wooded yard! The on-site washer/dryer allows you to re-wash and dry your ski gear or swim suits for the next great day on Gunstock Mountain or Lake Winni.
Enjoy a nightcap or s'mores under the bright stars while gathered around the outdoor fire pit!
WE HAVE WIFI !!! Large flatscreen in the living room with a chromecast and a 50" smart TV in the basement with Roku. Wait there's more?! In addition to a bed for everyone the house includes a Tiki inspired finished basement with a bar and living room area, washer, dryer, countertop, sink and a walkout to the firepit area. Our home sits on a PRIVATE wooded lot 5 minutes to the Gunstock entrance, 2 minutes to Ellacoya State Park Beach, 10 minutes to hiking (Mt. Major, Lockes Hill and more), several golf courses and a pretty lakeside drive to downtown Laconia, Weirs beach etc.
Extensive renovations include: hardwood flooring throughout 1st floor, brand new kitchen, granite countertops, two full baths and one half bath, brand new carpets upstairs and fresh paint throughout!

Awesome location right near all that Lake Winni
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Jul 2025
We had a great time at this spacious, comfortable home. Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for our group, and the outdoor space with fire pit was a favorite. The location is excellent, close to lakes, parks, and easy access to everything.A few areas could use attention: kitchen utensils and pans are worn (very scratched non-stick pans) and cleaning could be more thorough (dog hair on baseboards and outdoor furniture, cobwebs on windows, under island, couches, entertainment center filled with crumbs). The house was locked at check-in and we had to wait for a code, though the host was responsive even while traveling abroad. Sharing the code in advance would help avoid this.Overall, a great place with a lot of potential we’d think about staying again!

Booked the tree house for a New Years Eve/birthday trip and it worked out great. We had great communication throughout the process and both families enjoyed it. Looking forward to going back.
5.0 / 10.0·Aug 2021
Comfortable for our group of 12, reasonably priced, many areas to sit and talk, but also watching the Olympics as a group. Hiking nearby, view from Mt. Major is spectacular (go early for parking). The Trudells provided a pass for the town beach (which is very nice) and we were able to use the tennis courts at the Gunstock Acres club. We cooked in (adequate cooking supplies & dishes), full sized fridge and grill. Enjoyed the fire pit each night. Sitting out on the deck in the morning with our coffee had the feel of being in a tree house. Plenty of parking out front and across the street. Thank-you for sharing your ski house Matt and Kelly.
