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, and 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. Weekly or monthly rental inquiries welcome.
