Region Parade of Homes Kanasatka Cottage, 2020

As we revisit some of our favorite projects, we’re including a few homes that were part of the virtual Lakes Region Parade of Homes during Covid.

Kanasatka Cottage is a beautiful lakeside home with plenty of character and a story worth revisiting.

This compact cottage was designed to live much bigger than it looks, with an open great room, second-floor loft, four bedrooms, 3.5 baths, a screened porch, and a lower-level family room.

The kitchen is the hub of the home, with a custom dining table built right into the island.

Thoughtful design, inviting spaces, and a home that makes the most of its setting.

Lakes Region Parade of Homes Highland Cottage, 2018

Small spaces can do a lot.

Highland Cottage was designed as a guest cottage, work studio, second home, or final home. With timber details, an open floor plan, custom kitchen, and loft, this little building made a small footprint go a long way.

Presently, this versatile structure serves as Hayward & Company’s headquarters and design studio.

Small in size, but full of possibilities.

Lakes Region Parade of Homes Throwback 2017

There is so much character to this house.

Sachem Cove has a classic look, but there is more going on than meets the eye. Behind the gray shingles and timber frame great room are home automation, geothermal systems, patios, gardens, and a fire pit by the lake.

This Lakes Region Parade of Homes entry was designed to look good, work well, and last.

Classic on the outside, comfortable and modern on the inside.

Lakes Region Parade of Homes Throwback 2016

Mountain Ridge kept things on one level and still made room for a lot of living.

The clients had a very traditional style in mind, with a great room, primary suite, four-season porch, cook’s kitchen, family room, guest rooms, and Lake Winnipesaukee views.

No unnecessary stairs. No wasted space. Just a warm, practical home that worked beautifully for the people who lived there.

This 2016 Lakes Region Parade of Homes entry was practical, comfortable, and easy to live in.

That’s a combination that holds up.

Lakes Region Parade of Homes Throwback 2015 - Small footprint. Big lake living.

At 2,127 square feet, Long Island Cottage was designed to make the most of its setting without going oversized.

With three bedrooms, three baths, comfortable gathering spaces, custom finishes, and room to enjoy the view, this cottage proved that you don’t need a huge house to live well at the lake.

And…wait for it…this little home went on to receive five awards in the 2015 Lakes Region Parade of Homes, including People’s Choice, Best Floor Plan, Best Exterior Finish, Best Interior Design, and Best New Construction.

A small house with a pretty impressive showing.

Lakes Region Parade of Homes Throwback 2014


At Moultonboro Bay, a place to engage, escape, and entertain was the assignment.

A big kitchen, bunkroom, stone fireplace, lakefront deck, and plenty of space for family and friends all came together in this Douglas Fir timber frame home.

Presently, this home looks exactly like it did in 2014. An amazing feat for a house with so many different sidings and finishes.

It won the 2014 People’s Choice Award. We’re guessing the bunkroom was popular too.

Lakes Region Parade of Homes Throwback 2013

Energy efficiency. That was the goal of this amazing house.

It incorporated some of the most energy-efficient and durable building materials available in 2013. The entire shell of the house, including the foundation, was pre-manufactured, so the speed of construction was unmatched.

Everyone who toured this Lakes Region Parade of Homes entry could see themselves living in it. That is what made it so special.

And…wait for it…the total build cost was under $400,000.

We know we can’t go back in time, but sometimes we sure would like to.

Lakes Region Parade of Homes Throwback 2012

Hemlock Brook was a little different for us. It was a four-bedroom spec home built for the Parade, inspired in part by a barn on our own property.

The red siding, exposed timbers, custom doors, goat-wire railings, and big screen porch gave it plenty of personality.

Add the views toward Ragged Mountain and Mount Sunapee, and it made quite an impression.

Lakes Region Parade of Homes Throwback 2011

Before this home was here, the property held two small camps that had been part of the family’s history for years.

One came down to make room for a new Douglas Fir timber frame home on Merrymeeting Lake.

The home quickly became a favorite with Parade of Homes visitors and went on to win the 2011 People’s Choice Award.

A beautiful setting, a special home, and one we still enjoy looking back on.
