About this cottage rental

Welcome to “Campbellot”
This lovely year-round chalet is situated in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire. It is perched only 20 ft. from private waterfront on crystal clear Rust Pond. Rust Pond is a quiet 210-acre pristine lake in South Wolfeboro, 'The Oldest Summer Resort in America.' From the master bedroom balcony, you can see the morning sunrise, watch fish swim, or simply take in the serenity. Walking out on to the dock with your coffee, you may decide to slip in for a early morning dip, being the first to quietly pierce the calm water. Breakfast on the deck is a must. In the late summer you will smile at the mist rising above the surface, offering the warmth of the lake to the crisp morning air.
The fall foliage draws many to the lakes region, but it is a quieter season on the lake and in town. A great time of year for relaxing, beautiful hikes, fishing, and the brave hearted can still polar-bear swim.
Winter at Campbellot can be peaceful enjoyment of the cottage and cozy gas fireplace taking in the quite of winter and beauty of the night skies. Winter can also be lake-skating, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, downhill skiing ( Gunstock 21miles, King Pine 29miles, Cranmore 43miles, Attitash 51miles), and of course sledding.

This spot is amazing. Even with the challenging weather we had, there were plenty of fans in the cabin for the hot days and plenty of games for the rainy days. And as usual the swimming was the best!

This was our fourth stay at Campbellot and it was as wonderful as always. It's peaceful, quiet and everything you need is there. It's also less than ten minutes to town for shopping and dining. A perfect getaway.

We stayed here exactly 10 years ago (2014) and came back this summer (2024) when our children were 18, 23, and 27. The house is set up amazingly well with everything you need. The outdoor swimming dock, canoe, kayak, paddle boards, row boat, and plentiful inflatable water tubes. We spent much of the time on the deck, enjoying the view, talking, reading, relaxing, and swimming. Elaine quickly answered all questions before we arrived and was available when we were there. She added extra fans to help make the evenings more comfortable with the humid weather. We have rented many homes over the years, and if it wasn't for the nearly 15-hour drive from Ohio, we would definitely return annually. Rust Pond is the perfect lake because it is big enough to do everything yet small enough to canoe around and paddleboard around. The water is perfect for swimming and very clean. Thanks for an amazing week!

The sun shone everyday; the water was warm; the neighbors were friendly and quiet; and the fish were biting. What else could you ask for!

We are from California and were really excited about our visit to NH. The house was perfect and the lake lovely. My family spent a most of the time in the lake swimming and we made a couple trips into town for dinner (which was close and had plenty of options). Overall, a wonderful experience. Elaine was one of the best hosts we ever had. Kids were never bored, loved the lake, really relaxing and fun time. Would highly recommend.

I’ve been visiting this lake annually for 50 years. Elaine updates the property regularly and every year it just gets better and better. We had another spectacular year! Thank you!
