The space
Relax & recharge at our cozy lakefront cabin on stunning Merrymeeting Lake! Hosted by HelmsBnB and affectionately known as La Casita to our family, our getaway is the ideal space for up to 8 guests. This serene retreat features sweeping lake views, a private dock, and direct water access for swimming, boating or fishing. Unwind on the spacious multi-level outdoor areas - the perfect spot for al fresco dining, grilling or spending evenings by one of the 2 fire pits - take your pick!

Both bedrooms have comfortable queen beds and the living room boasts a spacious sectional with gas fireplace and smart TV with floor to ceiling windows showcasing stunning lake views. Enjoy cooking in the fully stocked kitchen, with the option to dine inside or out.

Please note we do allow for up to 8 guests, but to access the additional two queen beds, you have to climb a steep, spiral staircase. There is only one bathroom, so if you opt for our highest number of guests, we ask that you please acknowledge this in advance as it is not ideal for every group.

Outside, you are spoiled with options for enjoyment! You have your own private lake front area and dock where you can dock rented boats, use it as a jumping point for swimming, or have an adventure on the complimentary paddle boat. If relaxing is more your speed, have coffee in the Adirondack chairs, read and nap in the hammock, spread out on the patio furniture, cook in the outdoor kitchen (complete with fridge, sink and grill + a Big Green Egg!), followed by dining and drinks under the stars around one of our fire pits.

You're also a short drive to charming Wolfeboro where you can spend the day shopping, dining and having ice cream by the water.
