3 Bedroom House in Barnstead

Experience Autumn Magic at Your Private Lakeside Haven
Welcome to your unforgettable fall retreat — a stunning lakeside escape tucked away in the heart of New Hampshire's most vibrant foliage. As the air turns crisp and the trees ignite in fiery shades of red, orange, and gold, our spacious lakefront home becomes the perfect setting for cozy memories and outdoor adventure.
We absolutely love this home — from the sound of loons echoing across the water in the morning to sipping coffee on the patio as the mist rises off the lake. In the fall, the views are breathtaking — a fiery tapestry of color surrounding the peaceful lake. It’s pure serenity, nestled in a quiet, friendly community in Center Barnstead, yet close to charming towns, apple orchards, and scenic hiking trails.
Enjoy easy access to popular fall attractions nearby, including:
Lake Winnipesaukee (25–30 minutes) – New Hampshire’s largest lake with boating, fishing, beaches, and scenic cruises.
Winnipesaukee Scenic Railroad – Ride vintage trains through stunning fall foliage along the lake.
Mount Major (Alton Bay) – A family-friendly hike offering panoramic views of the lake and mountains.
Funspot (Laconia) – The world’s largest arcade, featuring games, bowling, and indoor mini-golf.
Beans & Greens Farm (Gilford) – Giant corn maze, hayrides, live animals, and fresh cider donuts.
Charming Small Towns – Explore Wolfeboro, Meredith, and Alton Bay with boutique shops, farm-to-table restaurants, and lakeside strolls.
The Kancamagus Highway (about 1 hour) – One of the best fall foliage drives in New England with scenic overlooks and hiking trails.
Canterbury Shaker Village (Canterbury) – Historic landmark with guided tours and family-friendly exhibits.
Gunstock Mountain Resort (Gilford) – Ziplining, chairlift rides, and hiking in the fall; skiing in winter.
Butternut Farm & Carter Hill Orchard – Pick-your-own apples, pumpkins, cider, and baked goods for the classic fall experience.
Breathe in the scent of autumn as you paddle across the glassy lake in one of our kayaks, with colorful leaves swirling around you like a scene from a postcard. Hike nearby woodland trails, explore fall festivals, or simply relax on the deck with a warm mug and panoramic views.
After a day of exploring, sink into the private hot tub as the sun sets behind the trees, or curl up by the indoor fireplace with a good book or glass of wine. In the evening, gather around the lakeside firepit — roast marshmallows, grill a cozy dinner, and share stories under a sky full of stars.
Inside, you’ll find all the comforts of home: spacious living areas, a fully equipped kitchen, cozy bedrooms, and breathtaking lake views from the patio — the perfect place to watch the sunrise through the fall mist.
Whether you're here for a romantic weekend, a family getaway, or a peaceful solo escape, this home offers the ultimate fall experience.
Book your autumn escape today — and let nature do the decorating.

Summary: Beautiful state, beautiful house. Exactly as pictured. Enjoyed all the amenity’s . So much to do from only 15min to an hour away. Hosts responded quickly with any questions we had. I would absolutely recommend for any occasions. The only issue was it says the property sleeps 10 and with adults some of the beds were twins so it is tight fit.

Summary: Beautiful home and location! Water front access with on site kayaks and pedal boats were a lot of fun. Often times you never know if you're going to love the sleeping arranget and I have to say, all the beds were wonderful. We celebrated my wife's 40th birthday and it was everything we dreamed of. We loved our stay at Serenity by the lake.
