About this property

DIRECT Lake Waterfront - Peace and quiet; dog friendly!

Bring your family and get ready to reconnect. Relax while the kiddos enjoy abundant opportunities for outdoor fun.

Peaceful, year-round home with 100' private, direct lakefront and 24' dock in wooded lot on Lake Ivanhoe. Hear the loons and enjoy the wildlife. Great fishing lake. Relax from the deck, dock, new screen room, raft, or child-friendly, walk-in sandy beach. Open floor plan with windows that overlook lake but are surrounded by trees for natural privacy, and perfect southwestern exposure. New dishwasher, new gas stove, new refrigerator and new furnace. New windows. New wrap-around deck. Newish hardwood floors, working fireplace. Ceiling fans in main room and bedrooms. King bedroom and two twin bunk beds upstairs. Rest of lower level has third bedroom with king bed, and a large TV room with two sofas and half-bath, and walk-out to lake. Gas grill, fire-pit with 6 chairs and free super-high speed, gigabit Wi-Fi inside and outside. Town with welcoming restaurants and full supermarket is 5 miles away, Wolfeboro is 20 minutes and North Conway & White Mountains are 45 minutes. Enjoy nature and the slower pace from a comfortable home!

Guests have shared many positive reviews of how peaceful the property is, and how secluded it feels.

The property is not a good fit for someone that is not comfortable with an older home and its nuances. It’s a rustic, low-key , 50-year old lakefront home surrounded by trees, chipmunks, insects, etc. It's a well-loved place enjoyed by many families--some of the same families over the years because it's relatively upgraded, clean, and has great, private waterfront. It's still a campy NH place. The kitchen is open concept but on the smaller side with smaller stovetop and frig (bar frig downstairs). If you are seeking a different experience, or have questions, please let us know. Owner is responsive, reasonable and courteous, but high-maintenance guests are not a good fit.

Wonderful week
We had a wonderful week at the lake! We most especially loved all the outdoor water activities, simply jumping off the dock, canoeing, and fishing. You can tell the owner is working hard to clean up the property and we appreciated the privacy and lake access. The fire pit and outdoor lighting were also great! Christians communication was outstanding and I’d highly recommend renting from him!

About the host

Hosted by Christian Roehl

Host profile image
I live in Boston my family and I and our friends and have enjoyed the serenity of the lake house for nearly 20 years.

Why they chose this property

I immediately fell in love with the secluded feel of the property. The lake does have some boating or kayaking activity from time from time, but generally is very peaceful.

What makes this property unique

The entire kitchen and living area shares wonderful, peaceful views of the lake from 3 sides, while the trees essentially hide neighbors’ homes from view. The southwestern exposure provides natural sunlight from sunrise until afternoon. We enjoy the call of the loon and other wildlife.
