Little Bear is a charming lake cottage above a private sandy beach on Lake Winnipesaukee, where you can relax on the beach, swim, sunbathe and enjoy easy walks to restaurants and peaceful sunsets.

Perfect for couples or small families looking for a relaxed Lake Winnipesaukee stay and a quieter setting than large resorts. Our sandy beach is small, private and away from public crowds.

The cottage offers a cozy interior with a well-equipped kitchen, perfect for unwinding after a day on the water.

The space
A quaint studio cottage with A/C and fantastic lake views. It has a queen bed, futon, kitchenette and small bathroom.

Private Beach Access:
Guests have access to a private sandy beach directly below the cottage. The beach is shared only with a small number of neighboring cottages and is never open to the public. Ideal for swimming, sunbathing, and relaxing by the water.

Although the listing says 3 guests, it is really 2 adults & 1 child. The futon couch is quite small!

Guest access
As a guest at Little Bear cottage, you have access to 350' of sandy beach, the association sundeck platform with tables & chairs and the swim platform.

Other things to note
The sunsets from the cottage are spectacular!

This is a seasonal unit that is opened up in May and closed down in late October.

Born in the 70s
Where I went to school: Bucknell University
My family owned and operated Proctor's Lakehouse Cottages on Lake Winnipesaukee in Weirs Beach, New Hampshire since 1999. My wife Gladys & I took over the business from my parents in 2014 and converted it from a hospitality business into vacation home association. We still own and rent out a few units, and we have 17 great new neighbors that share in the ownership of the property. We love the Lakes Region of New Hampshire, and are so happy to be raising our family here.
