About this property

Ponder Point waterfront cottage

Enjoy the beautiful views at our Waterfront Cottage on Cobbetts Pond

Experience the perfect getaway at our charming waterfront cottage, nestled along the serene shores of Cobbetts Pond. With two cozy bedrooms—featuring a cozy king bed and a comfortable queen (Blow up mattress for the 5th guest available) —this cottage comfortably accommodates up to five guests, making it ideal for families or close friends.

**Outdoor Amenities:**
Embrace outdoor living with our kayaks, perfect for exploring the tranquil waters, and enjoy delightful evenings around the firepit. The outdoor grill invites you to savor delicious meals al fresco, while the beautiful surroundings provide a perfect spot for relaxation, fishing, or a refreshing swim in the pond.

**Convenient Location:**
While you’ll adore the peaceful setting by the pond, our cottage is just minutes away from exciting attractions, including hiking trails, good dining options, shopping, Canobie Lake Park, and Tuscan Village.

**Inviting Living Spaces:**
The heart of the cottage is designed for comfort and relaxation. In the living room, unwind with our electric fireplace, a selection of vinyl records on our turntable or bring your own to enjoy while taking in the stunning water views from the balcony. Our smart TV allows you to stream your favorite shows via Netflix or your preferred apps (note: cable is not available). We also have some books and board games available as well.

**Fully Equipped Kitchen:**
Cook up a meal in our small but equipped kitchen, which features everything you need to prepare meals. Enjoy a warm cup of tea with our kettle, or start your day right with our Keurig coffee machine, Nespresso original machine and a traditional pot option while you enjoy the beautiful water views.

**Accessibility Note:**
Please be aware that our cottage features multiple sets of stairs leading to the outdoor amenities. It may not be suitable for guests with mobility challenges or small children, as safety gates are not provided either.

**Parking Information:**
Parking is limited to two vehicles, so please plan accordingly. Larger vehicles such as RVs cannot be accommodated. In the winter months with the snow, it will be hard to accommodate even 2 cars.

**Guest Access:**
Guests will have access to the main floor of the cottage and the entire outdoor area. The basement is unfinished and not available for guest use. While I won't be on-site during your stay, I'm just a message away via the app or my cell phone for any assistance you may need.

- **House Rules:** This is a non-smoking house and a peaceful environment—no parties allowed. Please see full house rules.

**Booking Requirements no exceptions :**
Guests with no reviews must be verified and provide a photo ID. Upon reservation acceptance, a rental agreement and house rules will be sent, along with a request for a $200 REFUNDABLE deposit for any damages.

**Book Your Stay:**
Whether you’re looking to unwind, reconnect with nature, or explore nearby attractions, our waterfront cottage is the perfect home base for your next adventure. We can't wait to host you!

Such a cute spot on the lake!

So bright and cheery - such a happy place to stay! The FULL sun shining in every window was amazing and we loved sitting on the deck, hammock and dock admiring the lake!

Ponder Point

We had a lovely time at Ponder Point cottage. The space has a lovely layout which allows for great conviviality around the kitchen and an outdoor balcony. The different terraces going down to the water were beautiful, and we enjoyed our time in the water--swimming, kayaking and canoeing. Comfortable sleeping too!

Winter by the pond

Ponder Point is a beautiful property. We enjoyed the spacious common space for our family gathering and the comfy beds. Several times we were blessed with the scene of snow falling on Cobbett's Pond, yet snow was shoveled and cleared in good time off the steps and parking area.Thank you!

A great weekend getaway

This lakehouse was perfect for a nice weekend getaway for our small family. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook for ourselves, the bathroom was clean and recently remodeled (looks great!), and the bed was comfortable. Lakeside patio was very relaxing, and we loved hearing the loons calling to each other at dusk. We appreciated the games and puzzles too, as we had one very rainy day during our visit and they provided great indoor fun. Common Man restaurant is 5 minutes away and has very yummy food, and there is a nice park with a paved walking trail nearby too that we enjoyed with our stroller & little one.If you plan to visit here, take note of the owner's warming that parking is pretty tight! We could only park 1 vehicle comfortably, 2 would have been tricky for us. Luckily there is a park-and-ride down the street that we used for our 2nd car. :)
