About this house rental
This family-ready, classic cape on Lake Winnipesaukee’s Bear Island is a vacation home where you can “get away from it all” while still being close to the main land, grocery stores, and the Lakes Region’s best restaurants and activities.
Situated on a three-acre peninsula, Camp Chaos is accessible only by boat. The expansive living space consists of a main house and a two-story addition, open kitchen, 1.5 bathrooms, outdoor shower, two sizable living spaces with TVs and lending libraries, a children’s library and play nook, two large fireplaces, and more.
Western-facing views means you can enjoy spectacular sunsets from the wrap-around deck and afternoon sun. The “Rusty Anchor” outdoor bar is cocktail hour ready and the large fire pit makes nightly S’mores a must.
The Camp Chaos peninsula is a short walk from Bear Island’s miles of walking trails and an easy 15-minute hike from St. John's on the Lake, a stone chapel that hosts pet-friendly services from Memorial through Labor Day. It’s also a quick boat ride and drive from beautiful downtown Meredith and a 15-minute boat ride from the Weirs Beach boardwalk.
Additional indoor perks include:
- A main house master bedroom with French doors that open onto the front deck and a spectacular view.
- A charming main house “bunk room” with one queen and two twin beds and lots of storage space.
- A second master bedroom (sleeps two) and additional bunk room with twin trundle beds and space to sleep four in the newly constructed Bunkhouse.
- A central kitchen with counter seating and all the equipment you’ll need to cook for a large group. The huge pantry, new refrigerator, and free-standing deep freezer mean you can stock-up and keep grocery runs to a minimum.
- Two Great Rooms (one in the main house and one in the addition)that are perfect for movie nights, board game tournaments, and lounging.
- Pack 'n Play crib
Outdoor amenities also include
A sprawling wrap-around, partially covered porch with classic Adirondack furniture, outdoor dining options, and phenomenal sunset views.
- A large grill and propane tanks.
- A sizable back deck with outdoor seating, an umbrella table, and open space that’ll keep sunbathers happy.
- Horseshoe pit and hammock.
- Covered outdoor bar with a sink, polished wood counters, and electrical outlets.
- U-Shaped dock that can fit three boats as well as plenty of deck chairs and inflatable toys.
*Please note that the property is professionally cleaned between guests and that summer 2020 cleaning protocols have been updated to reflect HomeAway/VRBO and CDC recommendations.
**Guests have the option of contactless check-ins and check-outs

It was such a beautiful, peaceful place. I loved it. We all did. The only issue is the parking and permits. It’s a collosul pain in the butt. Now that we’ve done it and we know what’s involved it’d be much less stressful. The property is perfect. I wouldn’t change a thing. Thanks for allowing us to share your home.

This is our sixth year at this amazing property. The interiors, views and privacy are a step above the usual island property. And the hosts could not be nicer!

This camp was the perfect getaway for our family. The secluded feeling on the property made it feel like we were the only ones there on the busy lake. The kitchen was stocked with everything
