About this cottage rental
With access to 200’ of beach on Crystal Lake with a gorgeous view of the Belknap Mountain range – our property has the best view on the lake!
Built in the 1930's, the Brown Camp has quaint, New England summer cottage architecture with a full kitchen, bathroom with shower, and 3 bedrooms.
The property rents from Saturday to Saturday during the summer season. Living room with smart TV (bring your Netflix password!) Dinning room table inside plus one on the screened porch! Sleeps 7 total (hard limit).
Bedroom #1: Queen bed.
Bedroom #2: Two Twin beds or a King
Bedroom #3 One Twin bed
Living room: Futon for up to 2
Big Screened porch with a view of the lake, chairs for reading, relaxing, etc. and a full table for semi-outdoor dinning or evening card games.
Aptly named, Crystal Lake has clean, clear water. Our location has a naturally sandy beach (no rocks, and you can see to the bottom!) great for families and swimming, fishing, boating. We have 3 piers and a large swim raft which is placed deep enough to dive from. We provide kayaks, canoes, paddleboat, rowboats, and life preservers for your use. This is a great place for lounging on the beach while watching your kids swim, floating in a tube with a drink, fishing, or exploring the area in a kayak. Picnic tables and large yard for yard games- bring your favorites along! Shuffleboard court available. Quiet roads for biking/jogging with beautiful views. Owner lives on property if you need assistance.
Perfect for Family Reunions- this is one of 3 cottages on site (inquire for available dates).
The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you will need including a microwave, coffee maker, plenty of pots and pans, dishes, glasses and silverware.
Outside there is a picnic table, lawn furniture and a gas grill. The living room has plenty of space to relax, with a stone fireplace for chilly nights and free firewood! Wifi is included, no landline. Cell service is generally good but can vary by carrier.
Pets Welcome! $150 fee.
Linens: You can bring your own sheets and towels or rent them from us for very affordable prices.
Boats and firewood are available free: The free use of rowboats, canoes, Kayaks and a paddle boat are shared by the 3 cottages at Crystal Acres but yes, you can bring your own boat as well. There is plenty of mooring space.

Loved the cottage, very homey and comfortable for me and my daughter and her husband and two girls, ages 2 and 4, and their dog! Owners were friendly and helpful and the beach area was perfect for swimming and docking the small boat we brought. I would absolutely recommend this spot!

Our stay in the “Brown Camp” was everything that we could have wanted!More than adequate space for 4 adults, 3 children aged 2-7, and 2 large dogs!I personally enjoyed the screened in porch so much and claimed my spot in a comfy wicker chair where the breeze was cool and comfortable, and perfect for reading a good book!Our hosts were very friendly and super easy to communicate with, even inviting our family to the lake to share a fire and smores with them! Darcy put in a request for good weather for our stay and we had beautiful weather with only 1 rain day!We had a great time and really hope to visit again in the near future!!!
