Point Comfort is a historic house on South Skakutakee Road in Harrisville, New Hampshire. Built in 1892, this 2-1/2 story wood frame house is one of the earliest summer resort houses to be built along the shores of Silver Lake. It is eclectically styled, with steeply pitched gables, bands of shingles on the walls, exposed rafter ends, and decorative rake boards.
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.
