About this property

Waterfront Cabin- look down on water from deck, private docks & fire pit

This rustic cabin suits visitors hoping to relax and rejuvenate in a quiet waterfront setting. With 100 ft of private waterfront on Miller pond, you can spend your days enjoying activities on the water, listen to the loons from the firepit in the evening, and have your coffee overlooking Miller Pond from the elevated deck in the mornings. Fish from the dock or use the provided small motor boat, kayaks, canoe, paddleboard. Lifejackets provided and to be worn for any boating or waterfront activities.
Directly behind the cabin is the Grantham Town Forest, with hiking trails that are mountain bike and OHRV friendly. Beautiful mountain views from "Little Mount Washington"- accessible right from your doorstep. Across the pond is the Sherwood Forest, with additional hiking trails that are footsteps away, and Mount Sunapee is 20 minutes down the road with even more hiking and adventure.
Nearby New London offers dining, shopping, art galleries, and performances galore. Lebanon is 20 minutes in the opposite direction for access to more commercialized shopping centers and a movie theater. Rent a pontoon boat to explore the beautiful Lake Sunapee, or ride the chairlift and enjoy the adventure park with ziplines and a ropes course. Multiple golf courses in Eastman, Newport, New London, and Montcalm.
Camp is 448 sq. ft with lofts for storage on both ends. There is an outdoor shower and a detached composting toilet- so please be comfortable with rustic facilities.

So beautiful and so quiet!

My husband and I really enjoyed our little escape to loon camp. If you are looking to unplug (even though Wi-Fi is available, and surprisingly good!) and enjoy all that nature has to offer, you will want to stay here. We enjoyed it so much we rarely left. One day we did visit Franconia Notch state park which was about an hour and a half away. It was well worth the ride. I highly recommend if you’re looking for a day trip. At the camp, kayaks, a fishing boat, & canoe were provided. Remember to be mindful of wildlife while out sightseeing. We watched a bear rummaging around a beaver hut across the pond one mid-afternoon. The camp has a fully stocked kitchen and provided everything needed for morning coffee & to prepare meals. Thankfully, we knew this by some other helpful reviews, and we packed light! Also, the outdoor shower and outdoor toilet were fine, and as described. Everything went smoothly from check in to check out. We only needed to contact the owners once, and they responded right away. I’m really glad we found this little hideaway. I highly recommend.

Cabin stay

My sons and I enjoyed peaceful nights and days during our stay at cabin on Miller Pond In Grantham, CT. We fished, kayaked, roasted marshmallows. I saved money by stopping at Hannaford grocery store by cooking burgers, breakfast etc in the cabin’s kitchen. I wish I hadn’t over-packed. The hosts offered many unexpected amenities. On one of the days during our stay, it was raining. My sons watched dvds and played chess, all left at cabin by host. We also got an afternoon pass to go swimming in indoor unground pool at Dan and Kathleen Hogan Sports Center in Nee London NH. I recommend the stay! Very peaceful

Loon camp

My husband and I had a wonderful relaxing 3 night stay. I suggest more than 3 nights we wish we had another night after settling in and it feeling like home. The pond is perfect for sight seeing. Perfect spot for our dog to be off leash and enjoying the outdoors. We would recommend this spot to anyone who enjoys a little rustic camping and a quiet place away

This is a quiet, rustic pond-side cabin with great kayaking and superb hiking trails. Lots of wild life. The owners were pleasant to deal with. The kitchen is well stocked and there is really everything one would need to stay there.

4th of July weekend

Absolutely spectacular. If you are looking for something quiet on the lake, this is the place for you. We had a great time kayaking and using the electric-powered boat (and fishing), playing board games. The place was nicely equipped. Very clean. FYI, Verizon works well at the house. We would recommend staying.

We want to go again

We had booked our stay for 4 nights but unfortunately, we had to leave early due to a ill family member that we needed to get to. We did not get to use all the fun stuff that we had planned so we can't personally review that. I can say, if you want to be in the woods to relax on a pond, this is your place. We want to rebook again next year and hope to stay. The hosts were extremely helpful even though we did not meet them in person and she made us feel very comfortable even though we were running late and had to leave in a whirl win.

Great experience

We had a great time in this unusual cabin. The property is on a steep hill, but the owners are conscientious and helpful, and have made it as easy as possible to go up and down with steps and handholds. The information they provide includes a map of the delightful trails at Sherwood Forest, walking distance from the camp. Use the Trail Finder website, which adds useful information. The maps in the cabin and at the site do not include all the trails.

Local vacation get away

This is a great location on a peaceful pond. I found it very relaxing and we all enjoyed being out on the water! Brad and Linda are wonderful and most accommodating. I really appreciated the plethora of boats they gave us use of and extra toiletries they keep on hand… They were even so kind as to meet me with a few items we had left behind, very nice of them!! I enjoyed the privacy of this location. It was nice not being on top of your neighbors so to speak, which is common when your on the water and we loved being able to bring our dogs with us. The walking paths across the pond and also in the local park were a great asset. We left some unexplored and would definitely consider returning. :)

Rustic getaway

Quaint and rustic cabin stay in the woods. All the essentials for our weekend getaway needs - fishing, boats and water toys, fire pit, Adirondack chairs pond side, deck - you name it. Brad and Linda are excellent hosts from greeting us upon arrival and giving us the lay of the land to stocking their home with all your necessities from toiletries, to bottled water, books, dvds etc. If tou don't mind nature and all the bugs and critters, this js thevplace for you. We hope to return.

Nice rustic camp

I won't lie I was a little nervous about this camp since I've never stayed in a cabin with an outside toilet but we had a wonderful time. We did not get any unpleasant odors from the compost toilet (maybe because it was colder or maybe we have superior poop lol just kidding it was the cold). Camp was very clean and well maintained. Lots of paper plates and cutlery, extra shampoo, soap, toothbrushes etc. which was nice. Great little pond for canoes and kayaks. Directly across the pond is all conservation land and a great place to walk the dogs.. we go up to NH/Maine to get away from people so we were very happy to not have seen a soul at the cabin or even hiking in the forest across the water. Our 3 little dogs had a blast, great place for them to just be dogs. Dirt road was better maintained than others I've stayed on in NH although I'd still recommend a suv or truck. I had to work late and didn't get up there til 9pm so I didn't get to meet Brad but I spoke to him over the phone and he was extremely helpful and he even started a fire in the heater for us. Overall great little place in the woods to get away from it all. Thanks for letting us stay at your place!

Little piece of heaven on a small pond.

We had been looking for a place to spend our vacation week since our normal totally off the grid place was cancelled. This had more amenities than we are used to on our typical vacation, and those made the stay so much easier. Brad and Linda have carefully prepared the camp so it has all of the things you might need from paper goods (plates, cups, paper towels, toilet paper, utensils, etc) to cooking essentials (pots, pans, microwave, toaster oven). Dishes, mugs, and silverware including a knife block and coffee maker (and liners :). Everything was esily found as bins were neatly labeled, and even had shampoo, soap, razors, toothbrushes and toothpaste if needed. Additionally, there were plenty of pillows, blankets, linens, towels, and beach towels for use. We used the paddle boat and adult yellow kayak a lot as well as the fishing canoe, though we did bring our second kayak and our solo canoe for wonderful treks on the small but beautiful pond where we frequently saw two beavers and the lone loon. We didn't use the fire pit, though we could have and had planned to, but instead enjoyed hours on the deck with coffee and playing cards and monopoly. They had several games, a lot of books, and many guides for thr area available as well. Our 10 year old son also enjoyed a few of the DVD movies that they have there. The outdoor shower is a must! A beautiful lake view and lovely hot water...doesn't get much better than that. The composting toilet is easy to use, though occasionally, you do get a waft of air from it that is unpleasant, but we are used to using an outhouse on our vacation, so this was not too shabby. There was a motion light to the outdoor bathroom and flashlights were also easily accessible for those night trips to the bathroom. Overall, a lovely small, well maintained camp that was perfect for our little family to get away to. Thank you so much for sharing it with us!
