The cottage was just as described and our visit was just like those that had gone before-quiet (except for the loons) and restful. The second day we found out we weren’t very far from restaurants, grocery stores and gas stations so everything we might need was within a reasonable driving distance. Thoroughly enjoyed the peacefulness and lack of traffic noise at the cozy cottage.

Relaxing Waterfront Property

My wife, six-year old granddaughter, Labrador Retriever, and I thoroughly enjoyed our three-night stay at Smith Pond. The location is beautiful and the cabin was clean and comfortable. We took a rowboat out on the water one afternoon. They also have a kayak that is available. The kitchen had everything we needed and the fire pit was perfect for making s’mores. We highly recommend this cabin.

Great property and hosts

Charming, cozy, and clean cottage perched on the shores of Smith Pond. Excellent accommodations in a stunningly beautiful and peaceful location. The Allens were kind enough to allow us to invite our family of 8 adults and 2 children and 1 dog to share the day with us at the cottage. We had a terrific, fun family day enjoying this wonderful property!

Great weekend get away

We loved our stay at the cottage, and although the weather wasn’t very cooperative, we had a lovely time playing board games and watching movies. There’s plenty of great options for going on walks and hikes. The cottage itself is lovely and there are so many opportunities to disconnect and enjoy nature and good company

Great spot and great hosts

This was a very nice property. The pond is on the smaller side so no motor boats are allowed. I brought my kayaks and we saw loons, a nice beaver and great blue herons. It was very peaceful, clean and relaxing. I can't say enough good things about our hosts. Jim, Bernadette, and their two dogs. They were in contact immediately after checking in to make sure everything was perfect. Which it was. Excellent hosts and property. 5 stars.

Perfect family vacation

My family had a wonderful 4 day stay here! The house was very clean, and kitchen stocked with all of the supplies you will need! The view of the lake is amazing, and having water access steps from the door was perfect! It’s a great location for the pups too! Our dog had the best time swimming and lounging by the lake. Definitely recommend this property!

The property was everything I had hope it would be. It was warm and cozy fory October stay. The livingroom gave me the sense that I was on the pond. Bernadette responded quickly to any questions that I had. I hope to return next year.

Peaceful and relaxing

We just relaxed and brought our dog{Cinder} with us. The three of us ventured out to several towns and enjoyed going and walking Cinder down the streets of Concord. What a beautiful city! Had some wonderful meals. And meet some very friendly people. At the cottage we read, a little TV, some walks. Hope to come up sometime when the weather is warmer to enjoy the lake!
