Peaceful Lakefront Retreat with Views

Enjoy a relaxing getaway in a cozy cottage nestled into the towering white pine trees at Balch Pond. Sip your morning coffee in the screened in front porch overlooking the lake as the sun dances off the water. Settle in as the loons swim by beckoning you to join them in a refreshing swim in the pristine lake. Enjoy your time fishing, walking in the woods, picking blueberries, swimming or kayaking then lay back in the hammock with a good book as you listen to the gentle waves lapping up against the shore. Senior and kid friendly, the lot is level with two docks and the lake is a mere 15 yards across a sandy, private front yard. The wooden dock has a ramp and steps into the water. Only an hour drive to the ocean or enjoy a scenic drive to the White Mountains. The private, semi secluded cottage sleeps 6 with 2 bedrooms each with a double bed, living room with fireplace and pull out couch, kitchen, dining room, updated bathroom, screened in porch with sitting area and picnic table. Also included: Onsite parking, fully stocked kitchen necessities (guests provide their own meals), coffee pot, sheets, towels, fireplace and wood, free Wi-Fi, tv, dvd player, washer, rowboat, blow up kayak.

This wonderful cottage does not have central heating nor insulation. The fireplace is great at heating the living room. We provide a space heater and electric blankets for cool nights.

Last bit of summer
There are many aspects of this spot on the pond that are wonderful - the history of the home, the original interior and the porch... but my favorite is just hanging out on the dock in the warm sun with a book and the view.

Cold for August, but no rain!
We like to stay at waterfront cabins because we fish. The cabin has a wonderful waterfront deck AND a dock! As well as a screened in porch, where we ate every night. We were inside more than usual, but thankfully there is tv, internet and board games available. Overall an enjoyable stay. (although the fishing was lousy - not the owners fault. Thanks, Mother Nature!)

Wonderful stay. Just perfect. The property was immaculately clean. The loon calls were delightful. Lots of sunfish for the kids to catch and release right off the dock.

Great spot and the camp had great dishes! For a sleep 6 there were only 3 bath towels and shower liner should be replaced. Propane tank was somewhat low and told don and Brenda to let property manager know..we may run out but never heard anything. Due to the rain we were ok. Previous tenants garbage was left animals made a mess, understandable

Loved our second summer stay!
My husband’s resting heart rate lowered appreciably during our 9-day stay here — which says a LOT! We had hoped to de-stress and that’s just what happened. Every morning I took my coffee to the wooden deck on the water (just a few steps from the house) and did some bird-watching and -listening. I counted bald eagles, great blue herons, turkey vultures, pine warblers, pileated and hairy woodpeckers, both red- and white-breasted nuthatches, etc…. and of course my favorites, the loons, didn’t disappoint. The whole family spent much time paddling and boating around. I noticed the new kitchen faucet—nice improvement. We are in love with the lake here—looking forward to next summer!

I love staying at the cottage! Kayaking and swimming on the pond are the best. Meals on the porch and relaxing on the dock in the sun are favorites.

August Balch Lake Week
Great week. Cabin has a wonderful feel, and reminds me of past visits to Balch Lake. For a family of four, it worked great. The canoe, paddle board, beach, fun fishing, views and weekday quietness was fantastic. The price was very fair. Thank you Sarah!

Tranquil and Fun
The cottage, steps away from the lake and flat grounds was perfect. We loved the quaintness but still had modern amenities. The kitchen had everything you needed from eating/cooking utensils to array of dishes and cook ware. Took advantage of using the paddle board and swimming. Family friendly. Lovely screened porch to enjoy. Close by is Cindy's Place for great breakfast and general market has little bit of everything. Sarah was great and very responsive. We would definitely stay here again.

Cottage on a very quiet lake.
The cottage was just as described. The choice of docks was wonderful...one shade, one sun. The screened in porch was the real hit. Morning and evening we thoroughly enjoyed it. Great dining choices and a terrific market nearby. We are already thinking about next year!

September stay
We loved everything. The old quaintness of a cottage built in 1866 was very charming. The waterfront was awesome. It was a very quiet September week I will remember for a long time. I would return in a heartbeat. My only suggestion would be the consideration of a new mattress as I found mine very hard. Other than that, it was perfect! I will recommend it to my friends and family for their stays!

The true lake experience
We loved every moment of our stay at this historic cottage. The lake was quiet and peaceful. The echoing loon calls were magical. We brought our kayak but also used the boats provided—our kids (as well as the adults) had a fantastic time playing on the water. We loved the front porch overlooking Balch lake, as well as the fire pit. The remnants of hurricane Ida came through one of the nights we were there—but we had a cozy evening by the fireplace and enjoyed the sound of rain on the roof during the night! Thank you for preserving this true lake experience and sharing it with us!!

Perfect Oasis
We have a large family of 6 that includes 4 children under the age of 6. This property was absolutely perfect for them! The fire pit, docks, steps into the water, area in front of the cottage is flat with tons of space to roam. Water is deep off the docks so puddle jumpers or life jackets is a must for the littles. The cottage has everything you need. Towels, linens, pantry items some May forget to grab for their trip. Nothing is forgotten at this wonderful getaway. I would 100% recommend this cottage to friends and family.
