Bear Island Dockhouse - Paddle, Swim & Trails | House in Meredith
4 Bedroom House in Meredith
Tucked into the quietest cove on Bear Island, this lake house offers the rare feeling of having Lake Winnipesaukee almost entirely to yourself. Arrival is by boat, and the moment you step onto the dock, the noise of everyday life disappears. No roads. No cars. Just water, trees, and the rhythm of the lake setting the pace.
Mornings begin with swims straight from the private dock, coffee enjoyed as the lake reflects the sky, and paddleboards gliding across glass-calm water. With 80 feet of dock space, kayaking, fishing, and floating become part of the daily routine. The cove stays peaceful throughout the day, making it ideal for swimming from dawn to dusk.
Inside, cathedral ceilings and expansive windows draw the lake into every space. The living area feels open and relaxed, perfect for long conversations, reading, or simply watching the light move across the water. The kitchen is fully stocked for shared meals, and the dining table easily gathers everyone together. Just off the kitchen, the outdoor grill and deck make lakeside dinners effortless.
Afternoons unfold slowly. Trails out back invite island walks to scenic overlooks and St. John’s Church, while the dock and yard remain the heart of the home. As evening arrives, the outdoor fireplace becomes the gathering place. Drinks are poured, stories are shared, and the lake settles into stillness as the sky fades.
When night comes, the bedrooms offer quiet, cool lake air and deep rest. With space to sleep up to ten comfortably, everyone has room to unwind after full days outdoors. This is island living at its best—simple, peaceful, and deeply memorable.
