Your Hosts – Karyn & Troy Berriault
Balthazar’s Ice Shack first opened in the winter of 2018-19, serving fresh home-made soups & chowders, hot dogs, hot chocolate, coffee and soda to the snowmobilers on the Lake Sunapee Snowmobile Club trails at Gunnison Lake in Goshen, NH.

Reclaiming an overgrown yard & brook and turning it into a beautiful place to eat and relax was a labor of love for Troy and Karyn.
Troy built rock walls, rock steps, a fire pit and even cleared land for a snowmobile trail that leads out to connect to the trails at Gunnison Lake.

Then they added benches, tables, lights and Tiki torches creating a quiet and cozy area along the brook.
