Autumn Lakeside Retreat on Locke Lake — Stunning Views & Private Hot Tub

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.

Funspot (Laconia) – The world’s largest arcade, featuring games, bowling, and indoor mini-golf.

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.
