Our Story

A little piece of the lake, just for you.

Cow Island Paradise sits on a quiet stretch of shoreline in Tuftonboro, where the kind of peace you usually have to drive hours to find is right at your doorstep. We opened our doors to travelers who want something real — a place that feels like a home, not a hotel room with a view.

Whether you're here for a weekend escape, a family reunion, or just a week to unplug and breathe, we've kept things simple: clean rooms, a welcoming porch, and a lake that takes care of the rest. No fuss, no rush — just good company and slower mornings.
