About this cottage rental
Welcome to the 5 Starr Cottage, completed in 2015 and nestled in a pristine setting. Situated on Crystal Lake, 400 acres of one of the cleanest lake in NH, awaits just steps away, offering endless watersports 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.

5 Starr was a spectacular home. Brigitte sets you up for success from check-in to departure with detailed instructions. She was also extremely responsive. The home was breathtaking. The lake was beautiful. The house was equipped with everything you need. It's very comfortable and zen. We spent our time enjoying the magnificent views and reading. It's quiet, clean, and decorated beautifully. You feel like you're at home immediately. I highly recommend and will be back.

My family of four traveled for a quick fall foliage tour mid October. We used this house as our base instead of staying at multiple places. This meant we drove a little more each day but we got to wake up and come home to this magical place. Seriously. We wanted to come home early each day to spend more time here. It’s quiet, enchanting, spotless, and filled with charm. I cannot stress how beautiful and peaceful it is being directly on the lake. We will definitely be back.

When the opportunity to have an impromptu family reunion fell into place just weeks before the 4th of July, I told my partner that I wanted to find a lake house to recreate memories of childhood summers in Northern Wisconsin on Lake Minerva with father and my brother. What I wanted was a place to unwind, to reconnect with nature, to rediscover simple pleasures, like sitting on the dock, or on a screened-in-porch. A place to talk, read and play old games at night.
In 5 Starr we found all of that and much more. The house is beautifully put together, with ample common space tastefully decorated with just enough "splash of lake" and 3 cozy bedrooms each with a view of the water. The loft sleeping area is a great add, perfect for kids. The kitchen is well appointed, with all the basics and more. We did just fine on the grill alone.
Crystal Lake is glorious. We swam, kayaked, canoed, fished, swam, and sat for hours on the dock. Watching the neighbors blast off fireworks all around the lake was a special treat, but not nearly as spectacular of the nightly sunsets and the playful light sparkles on Crystal Lake's rippled water.
Our host was exceptional. Timely, accurate and detailed texts helped make the whole process smooth and stress-free. When we encountered a minor problem with the grill, we had an immediate reply and helpful suggestion that got us cooking again in minutes.
For anyone looking to retreat to the woods by the lake, I highly recommend 5 Starr!
