If you thought that spending time on your own private island was only for billionaires, think again. A tiny island tucked away on New Hampshire’s Lake Winnipesaukee offers a relaxing lakeside getaway for less money than you might think.
Welcome to Devens Island! This one and a half acre island between Cow Island and Little Bear in Tuftonboro is home to a cozy three-bedroom two-story house.

To get to Devens Island, you will need to leave the car behind, as it’s only accessible by boat. If you don’t have your own, there are several local marinas that rent boats. Parking for vehicles and boat trailers for the length of your stay is available at nearby 19 Mile Bay in Tuftonboro, one mile away.
