About this house rental
Kick back and relax in a waterfront chalet that combines cottage charm and modern amenities. House is on the sunny northern side of Chalk Pond, a pristine, 21-acre lake in Newbury, NH. Enjoy the waterside from your private floating dock with fishing (NH license required age 16+) and swimming, or boat over to the tiny island in the middle of the Pond. No powered craft are allowed on Chalk Pond; one full-size canoe, two single kayaks, two SU paddleboards and life jackets are provided with the house. You also have access to the homeowner's association private sandy beach, basketball court, tennis courts and newly updated playground.

It's a close-up look at the house that's just like being there. I apologize in advance for my amateur camera work.
Enjoy the beauty of nature without leaving the yard: listing photos show the turtles, chipmunks and duck families that visit daily. From the dock, watching the movement of the ever-changing water and its light reflected in a canopy of trees is mesmerizing and restful. From our front door, it's a five minute walk to the Stoney Brook Wildlife Sanctuary, where you can hike two different trails through a beautiful 362-acre preserve. Watch for moose, deer, flying squirrels, even porcupines! Walk to Kidder Tract and enjoy the state-maintained hiking trails. Take a 15-minute drive to Mt. Sunapee Harbor, Mt. Sunapee Ski Resort (offers a summer adventure park), or the quaint town of New London which has great shopping, restaurants and a summer stock theater.
Central air conditioning keeps everyone comfy all summer long. The master bedroom has a queen bed and private deck, the second bedroom has one twin and one full bed. The downstairs den has a TV and queen futon. The full deck off the living room offers a tranquil view of the water and features deck furniture and a gas grill. Finished walk-out basement has two futon chairs and TV; great place for kids and teens to hang out.
Wood paneling, hand-painted stencils, wall quilts and country decor give the house a comfortable, rustic feel. It's scrupulously clean and complimented by modern conveniences not all cottages have: completely equipped kitchen with brand-new appliances, dishwasher, two full baths, full-sized new washer and dryer and Wi-Fi access, internet speed has been upgraded to be the fastest available in the area.
We provide off-street parking for up to 3 cars: Town of Newbury law strictly prohibits on-street parking in front of the house at any time. To read our positive guest reviews, scroll down on this page. Please review house amenities and rules for a full picture of our well-appointed, waiting for YOU, home.
From warm summer days and cool summer nights to spectacular fall foliage and crystal clear water, let our home at Chalk Pond be your choice for a restful getaway.
Please note that for Fall 2026, the seasonal floating dock will be removed Columbus Day weekend and will not be put back in the Pond until the following spring. (Waited too long one year and an early cold snap found us chopping the dock out of the iced-over Pond, yikes!) Guests staying after Columbus Day can still launch kayaks and canoe from our waterfront.

Quiet, well maintained and equipped cottage, with all the comforts of home. Covered decks to sit on as well as one on waters edge. It was a mother, daughter vacation and we looked for a place to relax and reboot. We found it !!! And Marybeth was a great host !
