About this property

CHARMING FAMILY WATERFRONT COTTAGE

Looking for a quiet and updated cozy home surrounded by pines with a private beach that's also close to all the White Mountains and North Conway have to offer? A place where fresh air, sunlight, your private beach, and lake and mountain sports call to you and, mixed with area shopping and local attractions, there’s no better combination. Look no further! The Lakehouse in Eidelweiss Village on Little Pea Porridge Pond is for you! The heart of the summer is coming our way, but spring and fall always keep a bit of that summer flavor, whether it's the lake and a kayak ride or looking for the tree with the most foliage colors. Oh when that moon rises right over the property, it's almost like you're in a bit of heaven. Grab the book to see which planet that is! Shall we go fishing?
Inside get a great night's sleep in either of the two bedrooms (kids love the bunkbeds) and wake up to a day filled with hiking, shopping, or just taking it easy. The canoe will take you downstream from Little Pea to Middle Pea. You might see a loon - keep your eyes open!! Fire up the grill for a tasty dinner and grab some warmth by the firepit in the evening.🔥Step into the screened porch for a cup of coffee or hot chocolate or head inside to the propane fireplace where some atmosphere will hit the spot. Cable and high-speed internet are available to complete your experience. Scrabble anyone?
If hiking, trips down the Kancamagus, and other attractions are more your style, you'll find them all not far away. Boutique shops to name-brand outlets begin and end North Conway for those looking for a buy. North Conway has opened many new outlets this year and excellent restaurants abound. Have a look at North Conway's "Best Of" on the table for you . Your home away from home is waiting . There's a small playground just down the street or take a nice stroll. Plenty of room for your vehicle in the long, private driveway. Our guests always enjoy their experience. If you’re a long - term planner, book a week, two weeks, or more !! No better place to relax and smile. All seasons have their own allure - everyone likes their own beach and their own canoe! The mountains are everywhere! If you're an outdoor person, come to the Lakehouse where you'll look forward to the cozy cottage after a day of swimming, or hiking or shopping - Heck, activities abound !
Let’s get away from it all !! This cozy home is perfect for every season and we look forward to hosting you soon.
Be sure to read the overview on the table with suggestions for activities. Send a text if you have a particular question or issue. We can't solve them all but we can sure try !!
Plenty of watercraft and sand toys for everyone. We have our own dock and there is a dock out a ways on the beach beside us. See the pictures on the listing, although they don't do the Lakehouse justice.
See you soon !

Cozy lakeside cabin
My husband and I were looking for a cozy get away by a lake to enjoy the fall colors. We found the perfect place. The cabin was inviting and cozy. Judi was a great host and communicated very well. We'd definitely recommend this place.

Amazing family cottage stay!
Spent a wonderful week in this adorable lakeside cottage! The home is so cute, cozy and very well-appointed. You can tell owner Judi spends time there and loves it. Traveled with our two small boys (6 and 2) and they loved every minute: tons of beach toys, kayaks and floaties on the family-friendly pond. Loved that theres no motorized boats on pond, so it's quiet and safe. Lots of fish, frogs and turtles for kids to find! Location is close to hikes and town of Conway for shopping, food and activities. Judi is responsive and kind and helpful. Would stay here again in a minute. Highly recommend!!

House by the Pond!
This was our second year here and it was another great trip with great memories! The house is small but fit all of our needs. The beach is perfect for the kids and the pond is calm and quiet. Perfect for a relaxing family trip. The owner couldn't have been nicer. She left treats for the kids and even called us to make sure everything was going OK. There was a major storm and she kept checking in on us to make sure we were OK. We hope to come back again next summer! The location is perfect close to all points.

Wonderful family vacation
This is the third time we’ve stayed at this property, Judy is always great, making sure we have everything we need. The house is perfect, great sandy beach for the kids, shallow for them to be able to swim easily and safely. Close to North Conway, plenty to do. Can’t wait to go back!

Wonderful Vacation
My family and I had a wonderful time at this lovely lake home that had everything we needed. Our 2&1/2 year old grandson had the time of his life playing in the water, boating with his parents, and making sandcastles with his Papa. We were close to North Conway and Storyland which was so convenient. The lake was beautiful and we spent a lot of time in the water with the weather being so hot and humid. Having the paddle boat, canoe, and kayaks available to us was go great and a fun adventure. The fire pit was also fun to sit around at night. Judi, the owner, was very hospitable and left us a welcoming gift which was so thoughtful. We loved every minute of our vacation and would definitely rent this property again.

Vacation on the pond!
We had a great time as a family at Judi’s house! The location was perfect for us. The kids loved the beach. The beach was really nice it was even raked when we got there. The kids loved all the toys. The pond was great clean and warm great for paddle boarding with the kids. There were kayaks there and even a kid one our 6 yr old had a blast with it. House was stocked with everything it is a small house which we knew. But we spent all our time on the beach and in the screened porch in the evenings. Judi was great instantly responded to any question and left treats for the kids and adults! We hope to come back next summer!

Perfect Family Getaway
It doesn’t get much better than waking up on the water and enjoying a cup of coffee while Loki g out at the great view. . We spent most of our days on the water boating or swimming to the floating dock. Location is very close to numerous hikes and scenic views. This is our second year and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

Great location
We had a wonderful stay! Location was perfect, right on the water but close enough to Conway to hop into town for daily activities. Communication was great and the house was clean. We arrived to find a bottle of wine and some snacks for the kiddos! It was great having “all the water toys” my 5 year old was even able to use one of the kayaks by himself! It had everything we needed. Plenty of towels, the kitchen, although on the small side, was well stocked and the railings for the bunk beds worked perfectly for our small children. We used the grill mostly but did pop in a pizza (we brought our own pizza pan), all worked well! We did have a visitor get into our trash, so just be prepared that you might see a bear. Overall, we had a great stay and would rent again!

Perfect for our family of 4
Our stay at Judi’s house in Eidelweiss Village was terrific. It was very clean and well maintained. The proximity to Conway/North Conway/Kangamangus Hwy is ideal. Our kids loved the beach and gradual descent into the water. Also the kayaks/canoe/paddle boat provided relaxing cruises around the pond.

Great little place to stay and relax
This is our second year and love it more each time. Has everything you need, so just basically need to pack clothes and beach towels. I love that it has sand toys, beach chairs, water floats, cones, paddle boat and kayaks. They even had kayaks small enough for my kids to use! Abuts the one of the small community beaches and walking distance to a small playground.

Second time! Might make this a habit!
Absolutely love this cabin! The peacefulness of the lake is the best feature. Instant relaxation. We have stayed in many properties in Eidelweiss Village over the last 20 years and this is by far our favorite. It is a quaint cabin but fully modern inside, no musty cabin smell! Feels like a B&B inside. Comfortable beds, thick towels, all you need to cook or grill. Judith is a wonderful host too, so easy to communicate with and helpful too. I highly recommend this property and will come back again!

A great place to stay
My sister and I spent a week at this lovely cottage in August, and we had a great time. It was the perfect size for us and had all of the amenities that were listed online, and more. A bottle of wine and cookies were left for us on the kitchen table, and the pantries were very well stocked too! We had rain for the first couple of days, but did some shopping in North Conway and used the screened porch to read and play games. When the sun came out we couldn't get enough of the water and our own private beach! We love to swim, and were a little concerned that the sand leading into the water would quickly turn to mush before it got deep enough to swim, but that wasn't the case at all. It was clear and sandy until well over our heads - perfect swimming! There is a public beach next door but there are trees in between the beach and the cottage. We had no issues with the noise and had no problem reading or napping on our beach. In addition to the boats that were provided, there were a lot of water toys too. There are noodles, inner tubes, small beach chairs for the little ones, surf boards - it really was impressive. The fire pit on the beach was great, and there were plenty of comfortable outdoor chairs to sit on. The cottage itself was very clean and had all of the appliances, dishes, etc. that we needed. The kitchen counter is very small, but you can see that in the pictures that are provided so it wasn't a surprise. We didn't need a dishwasher for just the two of us, but it would have been nice to have a dish drainer. My only other complaint was the firmness of the beds. My sister and I are in our mid-50's and found both the double bed and bunk beds to be pretty uncomfortable. This would not deter us from returning though - there was plenty of time to nap during the day! All in all we really loved it here and would love to visit again.

wonderful waterfront property, perfect for kids!
This property was great - especially for a family with young children! It was stocked with everything we needed for my 4 year old and us- comfy adult and kid beach chairs and fire pit, great sand and water toys, fluffy towels and comfortable beds. It was wonderful to sit in the screened in porch for dinner and look down at the lake. The property is next door to the public beach so it could be pretty loud between 10 am and 5pm. This wasn't an issue for us as we get up at 6am and I assume most families with young children do. Parents: There's no tub, only a shower. Fortunately, the shower was large enough for me to bring my child in with me. My only (tiny) complaints: I wrongly assumed there was central AC, but it was just a window unit in the front room. There was a portable fan, but next time I'll bring one so we can put one in both bedrooms. The kitchen was pretty tiny making it tough to find space for drying dishes and the sink needed to be babied because food can't go down the drain. I would recommend that renters not plan on cooking elaborate meals. like I attempted! There is a grill that we used one night. Next year we will plan on making most meals grillable. The owner was great to deal with ! I hope to return next summer!

Great Family Vacation Spot
The house is perfect for a family getaway- stocked with everything you need. The location is great - short drives to Sherman Farm, Echo Lake and Lower Falls. The pond is wonderful for swimming and kayaking. The beach is perfect for younger children with a shallow entry - can not say enough good things.

Wonderful Stay
This house was perfect for our trip to NH! Small, but very well stocked and extremely clean. The private beach, dock and water toys were amazing and our children enjoyed hours on the water. Host was lovely and responsive!

About the host

Retired education professional who has spent 40 years coming to NH during all seasons.

Why they chose this property

After spending over 40 years in the North Conway area, The Lakehouse was the perfect spot. Eidelweiss is close to all the attractions in New Hampshire, yet nestled amongst the tall pines with a large, private beach.

What makes this property unique

The private beach allows you to relax and enjoy the sun in the summer or explore the lake in your snowshoes during the winter. Cookout on the grill and dine al fresco on the deck or covered porch while you watch the moon rise over the lake. Then, build a fire and relax for the night or head inside for some warmth by the cast iron stove.

All the comforts of home await you, while only a few minutes drive are mountains, hiking trails, river rafting, adventures, and shopping galore.
