About this cottage rental

Welcome to summer fun and relaxation for the entire family on Lake Skatutakee! Our family has been enjoying this "piece of heaven" for years and we hope you will too. Because the cottage literally overhangs the water, the view is amazing as it looks up the entire lake. Whether you are sitting on the dock, the firepit, the deck, or the screened-in porch, you will never be far from the peacefulness and beauty. Kids (and adults too) love swimming to the floating dock, paddleboarding, canoeing, and fishing. There are plenty of spaces to relax, grill some food, enjoy each other, and recharge.

Lake Skatutakee is located in Harrisville, NH which is a historic mill town. There's a cute general store, hiking, and many other lakes in the area. There's a ton of hiking in the Monadnock area Peterborough and Keene are the closest towns/cities with stores, restaurants, brewpubs, etc...Welcome to summer fun and relaxation for the entire family on Lake Skatutakee!

We had a fantastic time. We thoroughly enjoyed the proximity to the lake, right on it! After full days of swimming, kayaking and paddle boarding we spent evenings around the fire pit roasting marshmallows. We only wish we were able to stay longer!

We had a wonderful time at the Nelson cottage! We loved the outstanding view of the lake and the feeling of privacy. Swimming couldn’t have been better with crystal clear water and a sandy bottom off the dock. My husband tried out a paddle board and we even ran into loons as we canoed around the lake. The cottage was clean, the beds were comfortable, and everything you need in the kitchen was provided. The closets were organized with extra sheets and towels and we even found batteries for the remote! The house instructions left by the Nelsons were much appreciated. Our favorite time of the day was in the afternoon, dining out on the deck and watching some incredible sunsets. It was fun to watch the water skiers and party boats, yet it still felt like the lake was peaceful. We loved exploring Peterborough and found the food shopping easy and close by. We would definitely return to this beautiful area, and especially this great cottage on the water.
