"The Stone House at Treetops" is situated on several acres 1/2 mile up a country road above Newfound Lake. This beautiful property is perfect for a family vacation or a romantic get-away or for those with a yen for history. Thomas A. Watson, the co-inventor of the telephone, made it a summer residence as did Milton C. Winternitz, a renowned dean of Yale Medical School. John Cheever, the gifted novelist and short story writer, was a frequent visitor.
Designed by a prominent architect in the early twentieth century, the house has a spacious living room graced a large granite fireplace. Off the living room is an outdoor patio for relaxing with tables and chairs. The house has three bedrooms, one on the first floor with a double bed. There is a first floor bathroom with a shower. Two bedrooms are on the second floor, one with a queen bed and one with twin beds. A bathroom with tub is between the bedrooms. A new washer and dryer are in the basement. (Please note, the railing on the staircase does have large spaces, so good to monitor if you have small children.) You also have access to a beach on the lake, with spectacular views, a quaint boathouse and a swim raft.

The house is still owned by the descendants of the inventor, the dean and the novelist. Mr. Watson and Dean Winternitz collaborated on the painstaking construction of the house. Great hand-drilled granite blocks can be seen in the basement and handcrafted wood paneling throughout. A very clunky telephone from Mr. Watson’s time can be seen on the wall of the downstairs bedroom. If you are looking for an historic spot to make a quiet retreat away from the busy world and a beach on the best part of Newfound Lake, THIS place is for you. Your children will love it also. It's a real gem!
Located in Bristol, this vacation home is in a rural area. Plymouth Historical Society Museum and Pauline E Glidden Toy Museum are local landmarks, and the area's natural beauty can be seen at Lake Winnipesaukee and Sculptured Rocks Natural Area. Paradise Point Nature Center and Rhino Bike Works are also worth visiting. Discover the area's water adventures with fishing nearby, or enjoy the great outdoors with ecotours, mountain climbing, and hiking.
