About this cottage rental
This property is located on Sunset Lake in Alton New Hampshire. Sunset Lake is considered to be one of the cleanest most pristine lakes in the region. Imagine waking up in the morning and walking out on the screened in porch having your cup of coffee in the morning 75 feet from the water. Life doesn't get any better!
This cottage offers two bedrooms. One has a double size bed. The other bedroom sleeps four with 2 sets of bunk beds. There is an inside half bathroom. The shower facility is outdoors and is enclosed, part of the rustic charm.
This is a great place for a calm, relaxing get away. There is not the constant boating activity you get at Lake Winnipesaukee, so this is a place where you can get peace and quiet to relax. On a typical summer day the water is generally flat calm in the morning and the evening. There is a fire pit right on the beach to enjoy the view, the ambiance and the starlit sky's. Sunset Lake also offers excellent fishing with a good variety of bass, pickerel, perch and bluegill which you can enjoy on the private dock.
For those familiar with the area this location is unique and considered a gem. It is accessible through an unpaved road, so if you are looking for place to get away from all the activity this is an ideal place. Plus it has everything you need so that you do not need to make continuous trips to town. It is ideal for arriving, unpacking and just enjoying nature for the balance of your visit.

My wife and I and our two dogs had the most wonderful time staying on sunset lake. The cabin was super clean and cozy. Hiking trails are minutes away and restaurants and shops are nearby. Best of all is the secluded and beautiful Sunset Lake.

If you are looking for a quiet, peaceful location where you can unwind, recharge your batteries and restore your spirit: this is the place. The cabin is a seamless blend of lake country atmosphere with many modern conveniences. The scenery is amazing and the spacious screened-in porch is a highlight.

Pristine, quiet lake setting. Love the fire pit right on the water. Relaxing

We went on a long trip and stayed at 2 other locations prior to this one. We were surprised that after we booked this particular property we received notification that the property would not include bed sheets, towels, plates for all guests (even though they charged a fee for 6 guests and was advertised to have the ability of 6 guests), toilet paper, or trash bags. We have stayed in homes for several years since we travel with dogs and this was a first for us. It took up so much extra space to pack linens and towels in a vehicle we were all already crammed in. Most properties leave several extras, especially if they charge a fee for extra guests. I feel the place was overly priced and had too many fees for not providing any extras upon your stay. We didn’t know any of this until after we booked it as it had a no refund policy.
The actual cottage was very hot depending on when you stay as there is no air conditioning. The cottage was cute. The lake is gorgeous! The sights are incredible and the town had a ton to do. Great location.
