Lake House Retreat at Belleau Lake, Wakefield NH

Located in Wakefield, New Hampshire, The Lake House at Belleau Lake offers an exceptional opportunity to unwind by one of the region’s most tranquil freshwater lakes. This property isn’t just a place to stay—it’s an invitation to slow down and savor the rhythms of lakeside living against a backdrop of dense forest and quiet waters. Belleau Lake itself is a clean, spring-fed body of water known for its clear visibility and calm surface, perfect for paddling, fishing, and swimming without the crowds found at larger lakes.

The house combines comfort with practicality: guests find a spotless, spacious living area framed by large windows that let in morning light and view the still water. Every corner is thoughtfully outfitted—from a fully equipped kitchen stocked with cookware and extras like condiments and laundry supplies, to plush linens and extra towels (including beach towels). The layout supports both group gatherings and peaceful retreats, with separate bedrooms for privacy.

Outdoor amenities are a major draw. Six kayaks, a canoe, three paddleboards, life vests, and a floating dock invite visitors to spend hours on the water. A sandy beach area in a private cove encourages swimming and sunbathing comfortably. When off the lake, backyard fun includes a ping pong table, foosball, cornhole, a splash pad, and even a karaoke machine, ensuring entertainment for all ages.

Beyond the property, Wakefield provides quick access to some of New Hampshire’s best outdoor spots—from hiking trails winding through preserved woodlands to charming small towns and local eateries. The hosts, Chris and Liv, are recognized for their attentiveness and helpful local insights, enhancing the guest experience.

Whether seeking active days on the water, quiet mornings with a book, or evenings by a fire roasting s’mores, The Lake House at Belleau Lake stands out as a versatile and welcoming retreat at the heart of New England’s lake country.
