About this property
Pond Retreat: Beach, Kayak, Canoe, Deck, Firepit,
Shaws Pond Lakefront Retreat! - Quaint Waterfront Cottage with Deck and Fire Pit!
The space
Quaint cottage on a quiet and seclude pond!
Enjoy your retreat along the shores of Shaws Pond at this beautiful, New Hampshire home. This three-bedroom/two-bath is located within easy reach of area attractions. Swimming, boating, and water recreation can be enjoyed at the pond, as well as a sandy beach area for swimming. Outdoor features include a deck, gas grill, and wood-burning firepit at the lakes edge.
The bright interior offers an ideal balance of antique charm and 21st century amenities. The two-story layout is a vacationers ideal stay. Separate living and bed rooms come complete with cozy furniture for enjoying comfortable downtime together or indoor fun on those not sunny days. The updated kitchen features a full suite of appliances, including a range/stove and dishwasher. Enjoy full meals at the formal dining table set for six. An abundance of windows offers lake views.
The 2nd floor primary suite includes a sitting area, window bench, flat screen smart TV, and en suite bathroom. Two bedrooms and a shared, full bathroom can be found on the 1st floor. Enjoy lake views! Window AC available during summer months.
With it's true New Hampshire small town charm, keep in mind that there is no cell phone service in the area of the home, but the home does have WiFi for your calling and web needs!
Update: A new dock will be installed by June 25, 2023 and it will be 6' wide and 18' long.

Enjoy the wasters with our complimentary kayak and 2 life jackets.
Other things to note
Grill: We ask our guests to clean the grill after use or before check out as a courtesy to the next guests otherwise, additional $35 fee will be charged for cleaning the grill. Thank you!
Please make sure to bring your own beach towels as we only provide bath towels.
Ice: Please note that we do not have an ice maker available on the premises, we kindly request that guests bring their own ice if needed.
Winter time: Given the harsh and unpredictable New England weather, we do not guarantee that deck will be cleared off during the winter time. We're hoping for your understanding!
