Lakefront cottage on Big Pea Porridge Pond w/ private dock, beach, kayaks, canoe

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.

We had a great time. The views were great, and it was wonderful to be able to walk out the porch and into a canoe or kayak onto a gorgeous, quiet, serene body of water. The nights were dark and quiet. Comfortable beds, heat and hot water worked fine, a nice little gas fireplace for ambiance. And a horseshoe pitch, which was fun! Admittedly, if you're looking for luxury, this might not fit the bill. Minor concerns, overall, with screen doors or blinds or lamps that don't work very well. But we thought it was just wonderful and would stay there again!

Nice and quiet place.

Our absolute favorite vacation spot! Our family has made so many wonderful memories here. We look forward to coming back next summer!

upon arrival the screen to the kitchen door hanging off - so getting things in was difficult ( we couldn't have the door open due to bugs ) the inside of cottage was clean but the screen porch is a mess, screens broken, dirty stained chairs , 2 vacuum cleaners just sitting there and the sills of framing all mildewed . As I booked this I was so embarrassed. The saving grace was the view and the beach/dock and kayaks...

private beach access, amazing view, kayaks and canoe

My stay was great. Just a couple of things.. there is only a double bed w a bunk above in the second bedroom. Not the other bed, like in the pictures. It was fine for us, but just an FYI. There is a wall ac unit that works very well, w remote. It took a little bit to figure it out, tho. It wouldve been nice to have an info packet on how to use that, n also the fireplace remote. And local places to go.Very close to a general store, little further (20 min) to a walmart. A map to get in and out of the developement would've been nice. My GPS sent me all over, where my cousins got right here in 3 turns. Overall, absolutely loved it. Not seaweedy/rocky to walk into the lake. Jumping off the dock. Very quiet lake, hardly anyone on it. Glass water every day. Very private. Canoe is huge n heavy, seats for 2. One kayak is pretty good. Recommend buying floats, like river tubes. Plenty of life jackets n paddles. Fire pit is large. Oh, there is a horseshoe pit too! Screened in porch is a great, but bring bug spray, bc its torn up in areas. Also not in the ad, there is the tv in the living room, but, both rooms also have one. I only used the main one w my netflicks the last day. I will be back!!

We Loved it here! It was a cute house in a quiet location. The whole trip was just a lovely peaceful experience.

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!

The stay was definitely cleaned as well as local housekeeping could, but there were larger deep cleaning issues. The view was amazing, just a couple of items of furnishing were in disrepair (a broken chair, a few nonoperational window coverings) and the walls were dingy.

It was the perfect fall 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!

Entire place needed a VERY deep cleaning job inside and out. Lots of mold, dirt, cobwebs, etc. Furniture, kitchen appliances, floors, bath, etc. were clean. No instructions for TV, DVD, heaters, etc. Dock broken. House itself was nice, great location, extremely quiet.

Amazing! Just do it!

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

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).

Perfect little cottage in the perfect location with great amenities and very clean.

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.

We had a nice little stay at this cottage! The place was a little bit quirky and needed some very minor things to be fixed/repaired and it could have been just a little more clean(found some food on the floor that had been hidden under the cupboards and couch)but it met my expectations and it didn’t disappoint.The spot was very private and quiet like we wanted. Overall a good spot for families, especially those with young kids. Just a note for other parent's...there aren't locks up high on the doors to keep toddlers inside and they can open the slider door which goes to the porch where the screen is no longer really attached and the door to outside/to the water doesn't lock well. So we bought some door knob child safety covers to keep our little boys inside(2&3.) we also used a broom handle to keep the slider door from being opened. We left those covers behind for future families that may want them while staying there. Would absolutely book this cute little place again.

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.

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.
