Welcome to the Cowbell Cottage! We are nestled in the small town of Tuftonboro in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire. The Cowbell Cottage is a small, cozy and dog friendly cottage on 5 acres off a private dirt road. We welcome well-behaved, potty trained dogs to come vacation with their families.

Please note that the Cowbell Cottage is unable to host large groups or parties. No more than 5 guests!! Enjoy our two small, but cozy bedrooms and one full bath. In the winter time you can fire up the pellet stove after snowmobiling on the lake! Or hang on the back yard deck after a day of swimming in the summer.

The cottage was cozy and welcoming - the best place to return to after a sunny day on the lake! Everything was comfortable, and very clean.

Ashlee was incredibly easy to work with when we had some last minute changes to our vacation plans. She was very understanding. I would highly recommend this property to others and I hope we have a chance to stay here again.

Quick trip to the Lake

Every year we come to the lake to take our kids to camp. It’s always just 2 nights, but we like staying in a house especially now that we have a dog. The Cowbell Cottage was perfect. It was so clean and nicely decorated. We had a lovely time. Ashley was a great host.

Great visit!

Cowbell Cottage was a perfect fit for us! The house was super cute with little touches all over that made it feel like home - and little extras for the things we forgot too. The washer & dryer worked great which was clutch for our family. The fenced yard was great for the dogs and the property afforded us lots of space for fetch. Our host provided ample info about the house & local restaurants & amenities. Overall, loved the trip, the house & our host!
