Thank you!brbrWe are a seasonal rental from July 1 through September or October 31 and closed November 1 through June 30th. If not rented by July for the season then we open up to monthly rentals.brbrOur pet-friendly private, peaceful, pond with panoramic views of Scott Pond is only 6 miles from Franklin Pierce University in Rindge, NH, 15 miles from Keene, NH, and 75 miles from Boston.brbrMaximum occupancy at the property is 3 people, regardless of who is spending the night.brbrTranquility awaits – Ours is the only occupied home on a private drive with extensive water frontage on Scott Pond. A must see for all bird watchers and nature lovers and we regularly have blue herons, geese, ducks, eagles, and beavers visiting and especially enjoy seeing the blue herons hunting. Our niece came to visit and was thrilled to catch her first large mouth bass.brbrThere is a beaver dam around the corner from our peninsula which limits the kinds of boats that visit our part of the pond from the larger part of Scott Pond which keeps our side very private and peaceful.brbrAlso nearby is a pick your own berry farm which has raspberries, gooseberries, currants, and blueberries.brbrThe Cheshire Rail Trail which is 21 miles long and goes from Keene through Fitzwilliam on its way to Northfield.brbrWe are 1.2 miles from a Mr Mikes/Duncan Donuts convenience store and gas station and Sasha (very good) breakfast/lunch restaurant and the Los Agaves Mexican Restaurant. Nearby in Rindge, NH, is the Hometown Diner which is a classic diner with indoor and outdoor seating.brbrThe large AC in the living room keeps the whole home comfortable during the summertime.brbrQuestions:brbrIs the pond swimmable brbrI swim in the pond and rinse off using the hose next to the fire pit brbrThe pond water is tea-colored due to natural tannins from decaying organic matter such as leaves and trees, which leach into the water. This process, similar to steeping tea, can stain the water a tea-like color. The pond bottom is soft so I wear pond Aqua Sox to help keep my feet clean and safe.brbrare there boats, canoes, or kayaks available.brWe do not offer any watercraft due to liability issues.brThere is a local canoe and kayak rental place 2 miles away.brbrNOTE: brOurs is a 3-season home with central heating and is rentable monthly from April through November and shut down from December through March. brbrWe are also available by the season.
