My husband and I & our two dogs had a wonderful week staying at Camp Cotter on Lake Ossipee! The house was spacious for just of the two of us, and we loved hanging out on the deck, especially to watch the beautiful sunsets. Both dogs had a blast jumping off the dock, and the water was so temperate. We loved the large beach area, and enjoyed exploring the lake in the kayaks. Jim was responsive to any needs we had, and quick to reply. We certainly want to return next year!

Overall, we are very happy with our stay here. You can’t beat the view and the spot on the lake. You have your own section of the lake and there is a great sand area in the backyard. There are people that walk the beach it’s not technically yours and private but it does feel like your section and it also has a boat dock. It is dog/pet friendly and there is a huge line that extends from one side of the backyard all the way to the other so dogs have free room while leash pretty much of the whole backyard. It doesn’t go quite to the water but it is a very big area and we appreciated they hooked up this line and our dog did too! The neighbors are very nice and the area is generally pretty quiet. The house is pretty rustic with the furniture and decor from the 70s, 80s, 90s so as long as you’re not looking for a upscale modern Lakehouse you should be fine with it. The kitchen appliances are updated but the microwave needs to be replaced it smells very burned inside and there is some rust from previous renters. There is a fire pit in the back and we enjoyed having a fire watching the sunset every night and there is some small wood that was provided to help get the fire started that we appreciated. There is also a kayaks, and a canoe and a float for you to use as well In the morning, the sun is behind the house and it is very cool but in the afternoon the sun is directly going onto the house and in the windows so on a very hot day the house gets very hot so you have to keep the shades shut. There are air conditioners in the two upstairs bedrooms /!: an air conditioner in the downstairs bedroom but not in the main living area where the living area/dining room/kitchen area is so we brought a standing portable AC from upstairs to the downstairs to help with that. Overall, we appreciate the owner didn’t have a week minimum like other places as we are unable to do that with a baby and various other reasons so we are definitely interested in renting here again!

We loved our trip to camp cotter! Jim was so accommodating and communicative, and the beach and location just can’t be best. Boat rental is a must as we had so much fun exploring the different areas of the lake. Will definitely be back.

This home sits on the beach and overlooks the sunset over the water. We had an excellent time. Everything this family of 5 needed to have a relaxing vacation. This home does not disappoint.

clean, comfortable, usable, amazing private beach with gorgeous views, all you would want for a great relaxing vacation!

Ideal location for whatever you’re looking for…..swimming, boring, relaxing on private beach, fire pit at night and super quiet.

The house had stunning views of the lake and the mountains. Sunsets are amazing and the house had everything you need. Kayaks and life jackets were a great plus. We really enjoyed our stay and wished it was longer. It is a bit remote from everything, but the town of Freedom offered good take out options, just 15 min away. The owner was very easy to deal with. Overall,, we highly recommend and wish we had that view too!

Our family had a great week at Camp Cotter. The beach and fire pit were the highlights of the stay and the sunsets were stunning! It had everything we needed and Jim, the owner, was very responsive.

We were so blown away by this house, it is the perfect lake house get away! The house has everything you need and more. The views are insane, and the sunsets may be the most beautiful ones we’ve ever seen. The private beach was incredible, and it was very quiet and peaceful. The kayaks and canoes were really fun, and our entire family enjoyed being there. It is an easy drive to get Into town for food, groceries etc. We loved this house and will definitely be returning in the future.

Such a peaceful, pleasant spot on Ossipee Lake! Great private beach for kids and the pooch to swim. Beautiful sunset over the mountains each night.

This property is amazing. The beach and yard is beautiful and so relaxing. Our family of 4 truly enjoyed Camp Cotter and would go back for sure!!

Celebrating our 35th Anniversary and wanted to do something peaceful and beautiful to bring us back to our years of boating but wanted to do it with our 2 dogs. Almost 2 years old, this was their 1st long drive, swim, boat ride and stay away from home. They and everything was perfect! Camp Cotter was great. Absolutely comfortable and cozy. The best views from the lake by far. Jim was great. While we were busy planning and packing he was watching the weather and offered to let us come early to get the best days. We did and it made the vacation. Many great memories created. We will definitely go back and recommend to friends and family. Thanks to the Cotter's!
