This New Hampshire Airbnb Has the Most Underrated Fishing Spot

When my outdoorsy friends start talking about planning an epic fishing trip, I automatically picture a tiny rustic cabin located somewhere in the middle of nowhere. Biting insects, a sketchy outhouse, and hours of driving to arrive at the designated secluded destination in the forest are just some of the unpleasant visions that pop into my mind. A trip like this is not exactly a “vacation” in my book. While you can certainly find lots of remote cabins in the forests of New Hampshire, you can also experience outstanding fishing and outdoor adventures at more modern stays much closer to home. If this type of fishing trip sounds like your type of vacation, you are lucky because I have located a top-rated rental that is ideal for your next outing. Head to the town of Derry and spend a comfortable getaway at the Little Lake House Airbnb.

There is no need to worry about sleeping bags and camping tents here. Just pack up your fishing rods and load your family or group of friends in the car, and you are on the road to a cozy lakeside getaway. With modern amenities such as air conditioning, wifi, streaming services, and on-site laundry, this scenic rental has so much to offer. And best of all, you won’t have to drive far to arrive at this little piece of paradise. This guest favorite Airbnb property is located roughly 20 minutes from Manchester, New Hampshire, and only an hour away from Boston.

This serene lakeside home offers a peaceful retreat for those looking for fun and relaxation. Enjoy great fishing right from the rental’s dock (you can also ice fish on the lake in the winter). If you happen to make a great catch, you can cook it up in the home’s fully-stocked modern kitchen or opt to use the backyard grill. Sit back and enjoy your meal on the outside patio table while gazing out at the jaw-dropping sunsets over the scenic lake. If you are lucky, you may even catch a glimpse of the bald eagles that frequent the area. 

The Little Lake House has plenty of room for up to four guests. The Airbnb has two bedrooms and an additional nursery with a crib for your smallest family member. The entire home is family-friendly and has lots of games, toys, and even an outside playhouse to keep the little ones entertained for hours.

When you aren’t catching fish, you can enjoy plenty of fun on the water. Use of the home’s kayaks is included in your stay, and a trip around the lake is filled with beautiful sights. There are also several lawn games to enjoy. If you feel like venturing out into town for a bit of history, visiting the Robert Frost Historic Site makes a great day trip. 

And if you don’t happen to catch your own dinner, you can always head out for an amazing local meal. The nearby Amphora Restaurant & Taverna serves delicious Greek cuisine. In the morning, drive over to the Nest Family Cafe in nearby Londonderry. You can relax with a coffee while the kids play with the shop's toys and activities.
