Higher clearance cars or 4WD recommended. **** Four guests maximum, no visitors. Must be 25 yo to book. 10% discount for 7 or more days bookings.

Enjoy the open concept kitchen and finished living room in 2025, with plenty of additional room upstairs!
The kitchen is fully equipped with a 2 burner cooktop and full size refrigerator, four way microwave with air fryer, convection, and toasting features. Barbeque gas grill. Coffee maker and filters. Hot and cold running water (***NON potable***).
The screen porch holds the dining area with water views nestled among the trees.
The fully furnished living room offers a pullout futon couch with a new mattress for extra sleeping accommodations. Offered are a television and DVD player, as well as a lending library for extra entertainment. Smart TV with over 100 channels, WiFi with broadband.
On the second floor, there is a large open concept bedroom, with one queen and one double bed separated by privacy knee walls.

Half bathroom with new composting toilet, and vanity. Outdoor fully enclosed hot shower with cedar flooring.

Running water is NON-POTABLE, GUESTS NEED TO PROVIDE their own drinking water. Outgoing grey water system, eco-friendly soaps and detergents provided.

Cabin has its own newly constructed stairway to the water as well as a private dock; two kayaks are provided and can be used with signed waivers. Also available is a second screened in platform to comfortably enjoy the outdoors while staying away from the bugs!

Experience swimming, hiking, paddling, and wildlife viewing from the privacy of your own cabin! Walk the many brooks and small streams, and see the 10' waterfall that are all assessable from the pond and cabin. Beautiful firepit and plenty of wood!

The owners have taken great care and thought to appoint this cabin with fixtures and finishes that represent NH. The breakfast bar is constructed with live edge hemlock from Williams Hill in Grafton and topped with a granite slab locally sourced.

Reliable cell service with most providers. Broadband Wi-Fi.

Due to steep drop-offs and uneven terrain, this property is only appropriate and recommended for supervised children over 5 years old and seniors should also speak with owners prior to renting. The stairs to the water are sturdy, however steep.

Exercise class, yoga/stretching, guided meditation, offsite kayak portage, town historical oddities and mine tours are available for additional fees.

A fabulous location for a relaxing and serene retreat! Artists, writers, friends, and family looking for a tranquil weekend getaway. This is a generally quiet environment. If you want a party and/ or nightlife, this is not the rental for you.

The closest grocery store, on your way, is 89, exit 9 in Warner.
And on 93, exit 10 in Hooksett rt 3A.

Once you get to the cabin all large grocery stores are 45min or more.

About the host

Hosted by Sheryl and Philippe Maltais

Host profile image
Phil and Sheryl have owned our main cabin since 2016. We eventually bought the waterfront land adjacent to us and had a cabin built with local timber. We finished the inside ourselves, which is a labor of love and want to share our little piece of heaven with others.

Why they chose this property

This property is located on the furthest end of Tucker Rd., offering privacy and a quiet retreat from the overstimulation of life. If you are seeking nightlife and entertainment you will have to travel 40min to the 2 largest towns of Hanover and Lebanon.

What makes this property unique

We have incorporated a grey water system, making this property eco-friendly. Much care and consideration have gone into fixtures and finishes to represent NH at its finest. The breakfast bar is constructed with live edge hemlock from this region and a local granite slab.
The pond is spring and brook fed, very clear water, appropriate for washing dishes and bathing safely. Do not drink the water.
Motor boats and jet ski's are not allowed on the pond.
Hike the roads and follow the many brooks to experience the small waterfalls all accessible from the cabin or your kayak that is provided for you. This region is seeped in historical mica mines offering unique exploration.
