We had a lovely time on the pond, although our stay was much too short. Beautiful location and views. The cottage was well equipped and very clean. The beds were very comfortable the screened room and fire pit were awesome.

Little bear cottage

Very cute private spot, kids loved the water and we enjoyed hanging on the lake in the kayaks and canoe. Place was clean and tidy but had its quirks, but so does every place. We would stay again

Adorable house in a great spot

This was a cute little place in a nice quiet spot. We enjoyed being right on the lake. The yard was a good size with a fire pit and horseshoes. The bed setup in the second room was as described, but picture was outdated. Living room furniture has changed too. We would definitely stay here again!

Great as advertised

The place is exactly as advertised. It's clean and comfy. The canoe and kayaks were great and the private lake access is awesome. It would be great if they had laundry (and a dishwasher, but now I'm getting picky).

Inexpensive Waterfront Retreat

Good privacy. Great location. Close enough to town with easy access and far enough away from downtown tourism noise. Clean and comfortable. Plenty of room for a couple or small family. Great lake frontage and dock. At this price point the place is a super bargain.

Great getaway

We traveled down to NH for a few days to show our kids where we got married and goto to story land. We loved this little cabin, it was perfect for our family. It was equipped with everything we needed, plenty of extra towels and linens. The home was very clean upon arrival and we had 0 issues during our stay.

Nice Cottage On The Lake

Kids loved the lake. They were out there everyday catching Bass, Pike and Catfish. Kids loved the Kayaks. They didn't want to leave.

Surprise birthday getaway

Went for my wife’s birthday. The cabin was clean and well-appointed. The bed and linens were very comfortable. The pond was large with plenty of space to fish and kayak. We really enjoyed the fire pit at night and looking at the stars. A very relaxing and quiet retreat, especially for those who love nature. Would book again, thank you!

Great lakeside stay

Great little property has everything you need - little beach, dock, grill, fire pit, screened-in porch, even fishing poles! Pea Porridge Pond is quiet and peaceful - many mornings there was even a loon on the pond. Very conveniently located to lots of hiking, inside and outside the white mountains. Property was clean and communication with the rental company was easy. Recommended.

Stay on the lake

The place was great. Right on the lake. Private beach area. Inside was a nice set up. Would rent again. Only complaint was no shade in one of the bedroom windows. For sleeping in and private that needs to be fixed.

Nice place

Lake & private beach were beautiful. The listing says washer/dryer but not that you have to go into town so that is my only complaint that it should be changed to not available on site.
