Charming Lakefront Cottage near Mount Sunapee

Embrace the best of summer at our vibrant lakeside retreat, designed for unforgettable family vacations. Dive into the refreshing waters of Perkins Pond for a leisurely swim, cast your line for a day of fishing, or explore the tranquil surroundings by kayaking or canoeing. Our private dock offers the perfect spot to launch your aquatic escapades. Retreat indoors to the light-filled sanctuary of our cottage after a day of outdoor fun, where comfort and relaxation await.

Our vibrant lakeside retreat is meticulously designed for unforgettable family getaways. Our cheerful cottage is a haven for all, boasting thoughtful features like bunk beds, board games, and more.

The open main floor offers stunning lake views, providing the perfect backdrop for family activities. Cook up a storm in the well-equipped kitchen, equipped with a gas range, dishwasher, and all your culinary essentials. Dive into relaxation under cozy blankets while watching Netflix on the smart TV, or groove to your favorite tunes through the in-ceiling speakers.

Step outside to your lakeside oasis – sip coffee in Adirondack chairs overlooking Perkins Pond, roast marshmallows in the Solo Stove fire pit, and enjoy the private dock for swimming, fishing, and exploring Perkins Pond in our red canoe.

Upstairs, unwind in our renovated full bathroom and retreat to the light-filled master bedroom with scenic views, a Casper mattress, and a work-friendly space. The second bedroom is a kid's paradise with bunk beds and a memory foam queen bed.

For dog owners, we happily welcome your furry friend with bowls, a crate, and a 20-ft lead. A $50 per-pet fee ensures a clean space for all.

Group size is flexible – up to 8 for families with children. Please specify when booking.

JULY & AUGUST: Weekly rentals only, Saturday-Saturday.
All other months are a 2-night or 3-night minimum as noted in the calendar.

Guest access:
Keyless entry. We'll provide the code before you check in.

Other things to note:
• $50 one-time fee per dog to cover additional cleaning. Pets MUST be disclosed during booking. Up to two dogs permitted.

• We have security cameras outside that monitor the property.

• Cell phone service is very unreliable at the cottage. Depending on your carrier, you may not have any cellular reception. Connect to our free WiFi for calls and internet access.

• The cottage is in a natural setting, so you should expect spiders, mosquitoes, ants, and the like to occasionally make their way inside the home.

• The lake is home to fish, turtles, birds, crayfish, frogs, and other creatures who may pop by to say hello. You may want to wear water shoes if you don't like the squishy feeling of lake weed between your toes (that's what I do!).

• There's a welcome book for guests with a copy of the house rules, information on WiFi access and how to use appliances, and local guides.

• Fun fact: there is an unfinished artist's studio on the property that will greet you right when you drive in - it's a big tarped foundation - so you can use that as the marker that you've found the right spot, but then quickly forget about it and get distracted by the view of the pond.

Follow us on Instagram @perkins_pond for photos of fun things to do in the area and updates to the cottage!

Total Relaxation
From the moment we walked in to see the breathtaking view of the lake, we knew we had made a good choice with this lake home. It was very clean, the beds were very comfortable, and the owners made sure we had everything we needed and were quick to respond if we had a question. We spent two weeks enjoying the view and relaxing in the fabulous chairs on the dock. We didn’t want to leave and hope to come back in the future!

wonderful week on the pond!
Everything was easy….from renting, to checking in and out. There were useful binders of information, spices and staples making the kitchen functional. The neighbors are friendly and the house is lovely, with plenty of outdoor seating to enjoy the view. The pond is pretty quiet with a few motor boats or jet skies. Overall we had a very relaxing week. Thank you!!!

February Break Ski Vacation
This house is an absolute delight and Laura is a consummate host! The location is perfect with stunning views of the mountains across Perkins Pond and just a short 17 minute drive to Mt. Sunapee for skiing. We even had the extra bonus of ice skating the day after a little rain fell to create a perfect surface for my kids (age 9 and 6), who hadn't ice skated before. The house is well appointed with lots of white fluffy towels -- and thoughtfully provided with dark towels for those of us who travel with dogs and need to wipe off snowy paws ;-) The beds are comfy and the open plan space make it ideal for hanging out and enjoying one another's company. There are many thoughtful touches like teas, coffees, and spices provided as well as labels on all the lights so you don't drive yourself nuts trying to learn the set up. We'd definitely stay here again! :-)

We had the best time staying here. We barely left the house because it was so comfortable. The views were spectacular! We spent our mornings and evenings on the dock. It was breathtaking! The host was super responsive and nice. Everything we needed in the house was there. We appreciated all the labeling in the house that new it easy to find things. We would return to stay here in a heartbeat. It was amazing!!!

Wonderful spot
We stayed here during the winter for a ski weekend and I was eager to come back to check it out during the summer. Water view is stunning. It’s a perfect size for our family of 4 + water obsessed lab, and grandmother visiting a few days. House is updated and bright, has all the amenities. Lots of fun things to do in the area. Owner’s super responsive. Great spot.

Magical week on the water!
Our family had an amazing time at the cottage! It was wonderful to not have to think of sheets, towels, toiletries and other necessities! Our three year old enjoyed splashing and swimming in the water and our chocolate lab loved being a part of our family vacation! The pond itself is a quiet retreat and hidden gem. Laura thought of everything and it was the perfect place to relax for the week. We will definitely be back again!!

Hi! The property and location was wonderful and we had an amazing time with our family. Great set up and had everything we needed. The charcoal grill was a challenge as we haven't used one in a million years. Fishing was great the boys and husband loved relaxing and fishing. It was great to be able to have our fur baby and he enjoyed relaxing as well. Thank you very much! Great memories made

Laura’s place was even better than the pictures describe! I am a clean freak and this place was cleaned as I would have cleaned my own home. The property is beautiful…we were able to take the canoe out and do some brief wading in the pond. The outdoor furniture was the perfect touch! Loved the black out shades and that the kitchen had everything we needed and more. We didn’t want to leave. Hoping to return one day!

Wanted a change of scenery, found serenity and joy
My husband, sons (6&8), our golden retriever, and I just returned from a wonderful week at Perkins Pond. We were so comfortable and at peace while at the cottage that instead of 7 nights, we stayed 8. The cottage was larger than we expected, clean, and beautifully (yet comfortably!) appointed. The open floor plan on the main living level, high ceilings, and abundant natural light all day long ensured that we didn't feel cooped up or on top of each other. The bedrooms are both spacious and comfortable. The linens and towels are crisp, clean, soft, and plentiful, and the bathrooms are stocked with many of the same soaps and shampoos that we use at home. The kitchen had it all, from a wide variety of quality pots, pans, and cooking utensils, to cleaning supplies and paper products, basic cooking oils and simple spices, to a drawer stocked with aluminum foil and ziploc bags, to cute silicone ice cube trays in the freezer, we truly found everything we needed. We spent our mornings participating in the boys remote learning via the strong WiFi signal, our days skiing at Mount Sunapee (truly only 15 minutes away), and our evenings enjoying phenomenal sunsets while building an igloo on the frozen pond before cozying up to watch a movie on the smart TV in the family room. We texted a few minor questions to the owner, Laura, during our stay, and never waited more than 15 minutes for a friendly and helpful response from her. Perkins Pond Cottage is an absolute gem - we will most certainly return!
