Nestled by the babbling Blackwater River and 100 yards from the banks of Pleasant Lake, the Dam Cottage is located in the heart of the quaint Elkins Village. In its 100-year history, the cottage was a mill, the Scytheville Post Office, and a flower shop. Now it is a cozy retreat and a perfect base for your next ski trip, or for swimming, boating, or taking in the sunset. The cottage is a short drive from Ragged, Sunapee, and Pats Peak Mountains, and a short walk to the beach and boat put-in.The cottage itself is bright and clean and ready to host your next getaway. We would love to host your next getaway. Please get in touch if you have any questions!

    Immaculate, well decorated, and well supplied. Steps from the clearest water, family-friendly lake. We wanted for nothing. I would recommend this to everyone I know.

    The house was comfortable.make sure you bring your electronic wall charger plugs. We did. Heat worked well.Beds were comfortable. Had a musty smell every time you came in to the place. But would soon disappear. Could use a rubber Matt in the bathtub. I fell in the shower. But all is well. A very nice relaxing place.

    The cottage was very clean, had everything we needed, and was so very cute.Our host made sure we had our check-in info well ahead of our arrival and responded quickly to our messages however once we arrived at the cottage there was nothing else we needed. We had a wonderful stay and highly recommend this cottage!

    Very nice property in quaint and quiet location. Everything was close by, and Pleasant Lake is the real star of the show. Perfect swimming in a clear lake to your heart's content. Apartment was well stocked with towels and silverware, etc. Hope to go back in the summer next year!

    My husband and I had a peaceful stay at the beautifully appointed cabin - there was good information upon check in and the air conditioning was awesome (the few days we needed it on). There were many items left in the kitchen to start our visit. There is the most lovely view from the cabin and a very quick walk to the lake - sunsets were amazing!!

    This cozy cottage was perfect for our recent visit to visit family in Elkins, NH. It is located a short walk to Pleasant Lake for swimming and boating (in good weather). Steph was so attentive and helpful and provided many wonderful amenities in the cottage. This is our go-to place to stay whenever we visit the area.

    This cottage was above and beyond our expectations. It was clean as a hotel, and had so many wonderful little touches that made it feel like it was set up just for us. The location is near so many great restaurants, great skiing, hiking trails, not to mention the gorgeous lake right in front of you. Elkins is a small peaceful town that feels so relaxing. It was perfect!

    The cute cottage was perfectly located for our visit. The town of Elkins is charming and the scenery was stunning. Communicating with the host was seamless as was the check in process. We would happily stay at this adorable home again!

    The cottage was perfect for a long Labor Day weekend stay close to Colby Sawyer College and New London Main St. We took a relaxing walk to Elkins Beach and the kids enjoyed the playground amongst a beautiful mountain lake backdrop. The cottage is clean and had everything in order to be perfectly comfortable. Stephanie was accommodating in the best way allowing us an early check-in once she found out we were visiting our daughter as a new student athlete at CSC. What a welcome to a new community! Will definitely stay again and highly recommend as a perfect stay for a family of 4 (or 5 as bunk beds would accommodate 3 younger children).

    We were visiting the area to meet our newest grandson. This charming cottage was the perfect location, just below the beautiful lake. The cottage is spacious, clean and loaded with amenities. Our hosts were very easy to communicate with and made our stay enjoyable. Can't wait to come back!
