Nestled in the pine trees are two well-maintained quintessential seasonal cottages, both with screened-in porches and bed swings for outdoor sleeping. Each cabin has a wood-burning fireplace, and one also has a woodstove insert to take the chill off in May and October. There's even an enormous campfire pit that can seat 20 of your closest friends and family. This lakefront retreat has 237' of natural sandy waterfront with two docks and a man-made cove for launching kayaks and canoes safely. On the south end of Swanzey Lake is the State boat ramp, for easy launching of any power boats you might have. This property started out with two sisters who wanted to build a girls camp and has been in the same family for over 100 years. Swanzey Lake is a glacial lake that is fed by a deep spring and offers some of the best fishing around! Once you make your journey to "The Boulders" on Swanzey Lake, you won't want to leave!
