This Authentic Josselyn Log Home with two bedrooms, 2 baths and a bonus room, is perched thirty-five steps above the Broads of Lake Winnipesaukee. The breakwater has a u-shape dock with docking for two boats. A few steps away is the automated trolley which brings all you've brought right to the upper deck. The cottage is charming, with lots of character and rustic country decor and exposed beams, and a brand new roof in 2017. From the master bedroom dormer window, you'll wake up to a stunning view of the Broads. An open floor plan maximizes the dining and living area, and on those cool Spring nights or rainy days, enjoy the cozy wood stove. Three sliders open onto the 11 x 35 deck - ideal for morning coffee, while listening to the songbirds, great for dining, or just relaxing. The 15 x 16 lower deck is complete with a hot tub - a perfect spot in the evening to listen to the call of the loon. Behind the cottage is easy access to the many trails on the island interior where you'll find wildlife, and maybe even see a Bald Eagle. Whether inside or out, this cottage, named "Sweet Surrender" by the owners, is truly a place of calm and beauty. By day, enjoy an amazing panorama of the lake and mountains, and by dusk, watch another one of Mother Nature's beautiful sunsets.
