About this house rental
Relaxing waterfront cottage on Highland Lake in Stoddard. Beautiful lake views from every room. Probably one of the best locations on the lake, with 282 feet of water frontage and end-of-the-road privacy. Faces west for all day sun and spectacular sunsets. Sandy shallow section in water for little ones plus a nice big dock for your boat. Great swimming and floating area on the beach and off the dock. Please read our reviews to understand the spectacular aspects of this home. We provide a canoe, paddles, and life jackets free for your use and can deliver a rowboat for a small fee. Small general store in town for last minute provisions, and the lake has a nice little marina with friendly hosts. Enjoy the serenity on this quiet, pretty lake in the wonderful Monadnock Region of NH.
Highland Lake is over 7 miles long. The home and spacious yard represent a perfect place to relax and unwind looking out at this peaceful lake. On any given day you will see kayakers, canoe travelers, paddle boarders, and an occasional waterskier. Not to mention fishermen young and old catching large and small mouth bass! Several families of loons, some eagles, and a blue heron call this lake their home and you'll almost certainly see them during your stay.
If you would like to explore the area, the towns of Hancock and Peterborough are 20-25 minutes away, and Keene has all the stores you need if that's your thing. Mt. Monadnock is roughly a half hour away, and the best blueberry picking can be found at Pitcher Mountain, within a 5 min drive. The Harris Center in Hancock is worth a trip, or see the Scottish Highlanders on your way to Pitcher Mt. for a hike and view that's unsurpassed in this area.
There is a master bedroom with a queen bed and another bedroom with two twins, and clean, simple, modern amenities.
Monthly rental inquiries welcome; we rent weekly (Saturday to Saturday) from June thru mid-September. We rent two night minimums in May and again starting late September through November 5.

Great place and location. It was a bit cold and rainy while we were there, and it was great to be able to look out at the lake, and relax.

Tim was an excellent host! Very responsive!
6 / 10Average·Sep 2023
The house was very clean and met our requirements. However, the steep drive into the property and then the steep hill into the house was fairly treacherous for two people in their late 70’s. Would recommend this get mentioned in the write up. Home owner was very attentive which I very much appreciated. The lake had loads of weeds in it which made fishing impossible
