A Stunning Lakefront home on crystal clear,sandy bottomed, 110 acre Forest Lake at the junction of NH,VT,& MA will be your long awaited retreat in the whispering pines, shimmering lakes, and beautiful foliage of New Hampshire. The Great room with 25' high natural pine cathedral ceiling, skylights, entertainment center and fireplace is comfortably, casually, and uniquely furnished. It looks out over the pristine Forest Lake that lends itself to a memorable vacation with family and friends. A fully equipped gourmet kitchen that incorporates a Jennair oven/range/grill, refrigerator/icemaker and dishwasher with all utensils, equipment, spices, condiments, etc. will make it difficult to try the eclectic restaurants in Keene, New Hampshire or historic Brattleboro, Vermont nearby.
Three Bedrooms (2Q,1D), Queen hide-a-bed in the living room and a 4 season sun-porch with 2 single beds and crib allow for a peaceful nights rest after a nice bath in the Jacuzzi tub with heated towel rack. An additional living room/ sitting area with wood stove gives you a chance to plan your day fishing, swimming off the 150 square foot floating dock, using our canoe, rowboat, or rafts on the lake, cross country or downhill skiing, snowmobiling on marked trails, antiquing and shopping in sales tax free NH, playing golf, hiking, biking, leaf-peeping, or attending one of the many auctions, flea markets concerts, shows or festivals in the area. For a little exercise and a 100 mile view, climb Mt Monadnock, the 2nd most climbed Mtn in the world after Mt Fuji. Afterwards, rest those weary muscles in the 6 person Hot Tub on the back deck overlooking the Lake.
Maybe best of all, just grab a book, snuggle in a chair by the fire,or on one of the 3 outdoor decks and just let your cares drift away as the sun slowly sets out over the lake!

Guest Comment
"My husband and I just returned from a wonderful 5 night stay at this lovely home. What was supposed to be 3 nights, turned into 5 with a cancellation following our intended stay. Weather was rainy earlier in the week so we were thrilled to get a couple of bonus days of beautiful fall weather! We chose this house because it basically had everything we were looking for...on a lake, kayaks, fire pit, hot tub, hiking and biking close by. We rode the Ashuelot rail trail which we picked up in town, about 3 miles from the house. We rode through the Ashuelot covered bridge, along the river, passing abandoned buildings and rail cars that sat eerily reminiscent of the railroad transportation system of days past. This trail is NOT a loop, so after 13+ miles and beginning to feel weary, it was a difficult push to make it back. But then there was the hot tub awaiting our aching muscles. The following rainy day was welcomed by the fact I was really too sore to do much else. We drove to Keene and had dinner at Luca's- excellent food - we highly recommend. All of the books/brochures and maps that Paul and Anne provide, were a great resource. We also found a video store in Keene where were able to rent a season of a program we had started back at home which we watched with the fireplace on to take the chill off of the rainy evening. We were tempted to hike Modanock but with Pisgah so close, we decided to hike there. We started off at the visitor center and began our hike across Doolittle Path onto the trail. What a beautiful trail through a mossy, pine forest with little rivers and ponds. There are signs with historical information about homesteads that existed throughout the area- some over 200+ years. You can still see some the original stone foundations. It was a a perfect fall, sunny day. Trails weren't too rough or steep- mostly on gravel or dirt paths. At the house, my husband fished off the dock and took the canoe out- caught/released some large mouth bass. It's a relatively small lake, but was enough for us to take the kayaks or pedal boat out to explore and also to enjoy the view from the house/dock. I can't say enough about Paul- he is a great host-he and his wife have really thought of everything! There were more things than we could even do- lots for kids, too, but we really enjoyed our time away without the kids :). We slept as good, if not better, than at home-very, comfortable, plenty of pillows and blankets, and cozy down comforter."
