About this cottage rental

Embrace the best of all four seasons at our vibrant lakeside retreat, designed for unforgettable family vacations. Perkins Pond is the perfect spot for a leisurely swim, a day of fishing, or exploring the beautiful surroundings by kayaking or canoeing. Our private dock offers the perfect spot to launch your aquatic adventures. Mount Sunapee is a short 15-minute drive away. Retreat indoors to the light-filled cottage after a day of outdoor fun, where comfort and relaxation await.

A note about nearby construction: A significant addition/new construction is currently underway at the neighboring property. Construction activity, including noise and workers/equipment, may be noticeable during your stay. The timing and schedule are outside our control and may vary from day to day. We want to share this information upfront so guests can make an informed decision when booking.

Our cheerful and light-filled cottage was designed with family vacations in mind, from the bunk beds and board games to the well-organized kitchen.

The main floor features an open floor plan with a wall of windows so you can take in the fabulous lake views while you...

• Cook a family meal in the well-equipped kitchen with a gas range, dishwasher, full-size refrigerator, microwave, Keurig, kettle, and all the pots and pans you could possibly need.
• Netflix and chill in front of the smart TV under cozy throw blankets
• Connect your phone to the sound system and enjoy music through the in-ceiling speakers
• Eat and play board and card games at the dining table that seats 8 comfortably.
• Enjoy the ambiance of the electric fireplace - with or without heat.

OUTSIDE....
Open the glass doors to sip your morning coffee (or evening glass of wine) in the Adirondack chairs on the lakeside lawn and take in the stunning views of Perkins Pond and the neighboring hills. At night, roast marshmallows in the Solo Stove fire pit (we provide the skewers!) while star-gazing.

At the private dock you can go for a swim; fish for chain pickerel, bass, bluegill, and more; search for cute little salamanders in the shallows, and take a trip around Perkins Pond in the included canoe or fishing kayak. A variety of life jackets are available.

If you want to bring your own boat (powerboats are allowed, and water-skiing is fun!), the public boat ramp is just up the street.

When it's time to unwind, stretch out on the outdoor sofa and enjoy the mountain breeze.

The patio also features a charcoal grill and outdoor dining set for 6, a comfortable outdoor sofa and chairs for lounging, and string lights overhead to illuminate nighttime conversations.

BED & BATH....
At the end of the day, head upstairs where you'll find a full bath (walk-in shower) and two spacious bedrooms.

The light-filled master bedroom features large windows with beautiful water views, a king bed with a Nectar Luxe memory foam mattress, a ceiling fan, and black-out shades so you can sleep in. Air conditioning in summer and heating in winter are through the in-ceiling mini-split unit, operated by remote control.

Need to get some work done? The master bedroom also boasts a desk with a USB charging station as well as a computer monitor, mouse, and keyboard.

There's also a nook with a washer and dryer in the master bedroom, and we provide you with laundry detergent, wool dryer balls, and a drying rack.

With flexible sleeping arrangements for families or two couples traveling together, the second bedroom is the perfect spot for kids with two bunk beds, plus a queen bed with a Casper mattress. Two dressers offer ample room for storage, and the window has a blackout shade. Air conditioning in summer and heating in winter are through the in-ceiling mini-split unit, operated by remote control.

FOR DOG OWNERS:

We're dog owners, and we know how tough it is to find a nice vacation rental that welcomes our furry friend. That's why your house-trained pooch is a welcomed guest at Perkins Pond Cottage.

Food and water bowls, a crate big enough for large breeds, and a 20-ft in-ground lead are available for your pooch. Your dog must be disclosed in your booking request, and there is a $50 fee per pet to cover the extra cleaning costs (because shed happens!).

You must be at least 25 years old to rent. Absolutely no parties, and no smoking on the property. The use of fireworks is not permitted. Please respect the neighbors and leave our home in the great condition you found it.

- Guest access: Keyless entry. We'll provide the code before you check in.
- Nearby construction: A significant addition/new construction is currently underway at the house next door. Guests should expect that construction activity, including noise and workers/equipment, may be noticeable during their stay. We don't control the project's schedule, hours, or progress, so the level of activity may vary from day to day. We are providing this information in advance because we want guests to have an accurate picture of the current neighborhood environment before booking.

- Town rules: 5 guests maximum.
- Security: Exterior-facing security cameras are located above the front door and lakeside door for the safety of our guests and property.
- July & August: Weekly stays only (Sat–Sat).
- Connectivity: Cell service varies by carrier, but WiFi is excellent for streaming and remote work.
- Natural setting: Because we're right on the water and surrounded by nature, you may encounter spiders, ants, frogs, salamanders, and other wildlife during your stay.
- No parties, smoking, fireworks, or unregistered guests.

Cute house, right on the lake, convenient to Mt. Sunapee. We enjoyed a weekend away with kids (lots of toys and games provided) and our dogs (so nice to be able to bring them).

Winter Getaway. The property was the perfect location for what we needed: Privacy, serene beauty of the pond, and an impeccably procured home. We had everything we needed to cook, have morning coffee, have evening fire-pits, and sleep comfortably in clean and cozy beds. We played games and music on the large kitchen table and enjoyed the time together as a family that we don't always have a chance to in our busy lives. For activities, Mount Sunapee was a 12 minute drive and has that small mountain feel while offering big mountain fun. Restaurants and takeout options were nearby and great. It was an incredible stay. We would definitely be back here again and would recommended to all our friends.

Wonderful property with a great view and amazing ambiance. Lots of games and puzzles for family time, and a well equipped kitchen for cooking and even baking a pie from the apples we picked nearby!
