About this property

Lakefront Cottage in a Quiet, Beautiful Location

This rustic lake home is all about location. Sited broadly on the east side of White Pond (43ac), perfect for the early riser who wants to see the sun peek over the mountain edge or those who want to silently glide across the water in our kayaks to watch the loons play. Tranquil beauty barely describes the location of this camp. From the moment you leave the pavement an overwhelming feeling of peace and relaxation is in the air. Water quality is the best possible – plant free and crystal clear. Perfect for swimming, kayaking, canoeing, and fishing. You will find a sandy beach with an even sandier swimming area next to the dock! The stargazing at night is spectacular, with absolutely no light pollution to get in your way. This cottage is unpretentious and low maintenance for the lake house renter who is looking for serenity with gorgeous views. Very private too!

Originally built in 1957 and remodeled in 1986. Indoor bathroom with toilet and sink, shower is outdoors. Fast and free WiFi. In the living room is a 32" TV with an Apple TV and DVD player connected to it, allowing you to access many streaming services and movies/shows. Our cottage is a quick 30 minute drive from Concord, where you can visit a lovely theater of arts center, dine at delicious restaurants, visit cute/fun gift shops, explore country fairs and markets and much more! Two day minimum rentals.

Enjoy your stay!

Beautiful view not so great accommodation
This once lovely cabin is on its last leg. The cabin was once the site of a girls camp and sits on a hill. Parking is above the cabin and if you have a member of your family who is unsteady on their feet, they will have great difficulty getting to the door from where the cars are parked. Having said that the entire cabin is no longer level. Even if you could get Gram and Gramps to the door it would be high risk for them to walk through it. This means that the cabin shakes when you walk through it. The deck that once connected to the house has separated and the deck flooring is uneven. The stairs are solid but the heavy rains have washed away the beach that is pictured in the photos. This means you need to be careful when you step off the last step. In place of the sand are rocks which you can step over but you need to watch where youre stepping. The cabin needs major infrastructure work, but is cozy inside. Its just not super comfy. It is as clean as it could be and the towels and sheets provided were clean. On the upside, it is a quiet and pristine spot. No loud parties just loons, blue heron and an occasional owl calling. It would be divine if the whole place was made level again and the beach could be restored. The property owner was very kind and communicative. Just to be clear the low rating was given because the cabin is not level and therefore the rate per night is not equal to other waterfront properties i have stayed at that were the same price.

Quiet Cottage for sure
This cottage is definitely rustic plus, but the lake is quite, clean and beautiful which is what it’s all about. There was also great fishing right off the dock I would definitely return to white pond.

A sweet and cozy cabin in the woods.
We loved everything about our stay here. I went for a fall weekend with my 11-year old twins and pup. The cabin is privately situated right on the lake with a beautiful view from the master bedroom window. The beds were super comfortable. We loved just hanging around - played records, took canoe rides, walked down the lane, and soaked up the quiet. In the surrounding area, we hiked, shopped for antiques and ate yummy meals. To note, in case you're arriving in the dark like we did... The cabin is not very visible from the road in the dark. If you see an R signpost and red cabin on the right, you went one cabin too far. The parking/driveway is off the road, and the cabin is situated below.

The most relaxing place to spend a week
We absolutely LOVED our stay at this rustic cabin. This property is ALL about location- on a quiet, beautiful lake, with clear water for swimming, chairs on the dock over the water for sitting and enjoying a book, and a great deck for eating meals overlooking the lake. This property IS rustic- we are people who love camping, so for us it was perfect. Think of it as an elevated camping experience- all the rustic, outdoorsy elements, but with the comforts of cozy beds, a kitchen and Wi-Fi.

A relaxing stay. Went by too quick
This is a no frills kind of place, just as advertised. The water is not potable and you have to buy your own wood for outdoor fires. The pond is calm with no motorized boats and the lack of mosquitos was amazing. The beds were comfortable and the breeze off the pond at night is beautiful. It was a little more remote than we would of liked and the shower was quirky with very little water pressure

Why they chose this property

Come to a place where the air is clear, the water pure and time slows down. A place where you can unwind, calm your inner soul and connect with the rhythm of nature. Where you can doze on the deck, paddle in a kayak, watch for shooting stars, hear the magical calls of loons and owls and truly explore the natural world around you. The cabin was a part of the summer camp my family owned for 40 years and now has been in the family for 60+ years. Before that is was one of the first cottages built on the quiet lake. It is truly a special place where time stands still, where you can relax and forget about your worries and where you can create lasting memories forever.
