Give the Gift of a Lake Winnipesaukee Cottage Rental

As autumn’s golden hues begin to give way to the frost-kissed mornings of early winter, the excitement of the holiday season is undeniably in the air. We find ourselves unearthing festive decorations, planning family gatherings, and, of course, thinking about gifts for the people who matter most.

For some, holiday shopping is a joy. For others, it can feel like a puzzle—especially when you’re trying to find something meaningful for those hard-to-shop-for loved ones. If you’re searching for a gift that’s more than just another wrapped box under the tree—something heartfelt, memorable, and genuinely appreciated—consider giving the gift of a Lake Winnipesaukee escape at The NASWA Resort.

Whether it’s for your parents, your best friends, or even a treat for yourself, a stay in one of our colorful, cozy cottages is more than a present—it’s a promise of new memories to be made in one of New Hampshire’s most cherished destinations.

Why a NASWA Cottage Rental Makes the Perfect Gift

At The NASWA Resort in Laconia, New Hampshire, we’ve been welcoming guests for generations—offering more than just a place to stay, but a tradition rooted in warmth, family, and true hospitality. Nestled along the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee, our resort is known for its iconic colorful cottages, private sandy beach (the largest on the lake!), and authentic Greek-inspired hospitality, passed down through four generations of the Makris family.

Gifting a stay at The NASWA is more than booking a room—it’s offering a one-of-a-kind experience that includes:

• Lakefront living with breathtaking views
• Unforgettable summer memories filled with sun, laughter, and adventure
• Delicious dining at the lively NazBar & Grill and the elegant Blue Bistro
• Access to complimentary kayak and paddleboard rentals, boat tours, and more
• A chance to unwind in a charming lakeside cottage, each with its own story

It’s the kind of gift that won’t collect dust on a shelf—it will live on in stories, photos, and cherished moments.

Explore the Charm of Our Lake Winnipesaukee Cottages

Each of our cottages blends rustic charm with the comfort and convenience today’s travelers expect. Whether you’re gifting a romantic retreat for two or a family getaway for six, we offer a variety of accommodations to suit every style.

• One-Room Cottages with Lake Views – Perfect for couples seeking a cozy hideaway steps from the water.
• Two-Bedroom Cottages – A hit with families or groups of friends looking to spend quality time together in a private, homey space.
• Pet-Friendly Options – Because our four-legged friends deserve a vacation too!
• Suites and Studio Options – For those who prefer modern amenities like full kitchens and extra space, without sacrificing that lakeside charm.

And with each cottage just a short stroll from the beach, the restaurants, and the fun, your gift recipient will be in the heart of it all.

On-Site Dining: From Beachside Bites to Lakeside Elegance

No NASWA stay is complete without indulging in our culinary offerings. The NazBar & Grill brings the party to the beach with tropical cocktails, live music, and relaxed, flavorful fare. Meanwhile, the Blue Bistro offers a more refined lakeside dining experience—featuring fresh seafood, Certified Angus steaks, vegetarian delights, and our beloved Hope Made Desserts, lovingly created from recipes passed down by our matriarch, Hope Makris.

Prefer a quiet dinner in? Many of our cottages and suites come equipped with kitchenettes or full kitchens, making a homemade lakeside dinner under the stars not only possible—but downright perfect.

Give the Gift of Flexibility with NASWA Resort Gift Cards

Not sure when your recipient wants to travel? That’s the beauty of a NASWA Resort Gift Card. Available in amounts ranging from $50 to $2,000, gift cards allow your loved ones to plan their visit at a time that works best for them.

Whether they use it to book a cottage, enjoy a meal at the Blue Bistro, or sip cocktails by the firepit at NazBar, a NASWA gift card gives the recipient total freedom—and lets them design the getaway of their dreams.

It’s thoughtful. It’s personal. It’s one-size-fits-all—but never feels like it.

The Joy of Gifting Memories That Last a Lifetime

In a world overflowing with stuff, there’s something undeniably special about giving the gift of experience. A stay at The NASWA Resort isn’t just a few nights on the lake—it’s morning coffee with a lake view, long beach days under the summer sun, laughter around the firepit, and the simple joy of being together.

For nearly 90 years, we’ve been helping families, couples, and friends reconnect, relax, and make memories that last for generations. This holiday season, you can be a part of that story by giving a gift that means more.
