About this property

Lakeside life at its best!

Welcome to the 5 Starr Cottage, completed in 2015 and nestled in a pristine setting. Situated on 400 acres, Crystal Lake, one of the cleanest in NH, awaits just steps away, offering endless watersport opportunities. With waterfront views from every room, this state-of-the-art home boasts a perfect retreat for fishing enthusiasts, providing rods and access to freshwater trout, bass, and more. Explore the lake with our two kayaks, canoe, and paddleboards, or enjoy some friendly competition at the horseshoe pitch. The fully stocked kitchen and outdoor gas grill cater to culinary desires, while the master bedroom with a queen bed and ensuite bathroom ensures comfort and luxury. Two additional rooms feature double beds with a nearby full bathroom, complemented by a sleeping loft and powder room. Unwind on warmer nights in the hanging bed in the screened porch, or rinse off in the outdoor shower after a full day of hike on the mountains near by. The expansive dock area, complete with sand-bottom and a sprawling umbrella, offers a sanctuary from the sun, with shallow waters near shore for children to play safely. Radiant heating and a wood stove provide cozy warmth during cooler evenings. A rolling/portable AC unit is easily accessible for the warmer days. Conveniently located less than 30 minutes from Mount Sunapee and Hanover, and just 20 minutes from Mount Cardigan, adventure awaits in every direction. As proud owners of a 5-star rated rental since 2012, we look forward to making your stay at 5 Starr Cottage unforgettable.

Great New Hampshire property
This isn't a cabin on a lake, it is a multimillion dollar property with high end appointments. High tech radiant floor heating, expensive woodwork/doors/windows ect. The setting is perfect, private peaceful lake. Great property.
