About this house rental
Imagine yourself driving down a quite road in the country. Tall white birches and white pines providing cool shade while the warm sun glows above. Imagine pulling up to a quaint home that sits quietly upon Goose Pond Lake. The smell of a warm fireplace waffles in the air. That's what you will find as you pull into the driveway of this cozy but large waterfront home. With Goose Pond lake just a few steps from the back door no matter the season you will truly be captivated by its beauty.
Note: Goose Pond is a man-made lake. At the southern end of the lake, 3 miles from my home, is a dam that was constructed in 1918. It needs to be rebuilt and the State of New Hampshire has lowered the lake by more than 22 feet. Will be that way throughout 2024. Only a small stream 100 yards from the house will be available for summer 2024. The repair of the dam is on schedule (unusual,,,,, but true) and beginning in December of 2024, the lake will be returned to its normal water level. This pristine 3.5 mile lake should be back to normal for summer 2025!
The home, and the area, has much to offer and is a great vacation venue........as previous guests comments indicate.

Cool older home with fun collections, a blast from the past! Unfortunately the lake was drained but I can imagine how beautiful it would be. Several nice hikes in the area were a bonus for us. Plenty of room to spread out and a well appointed kitchen for home cooked meals. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Everything at this property was great. The host was very helpful from checking in to checking out. We had 6 people and we had everything we needed from start to finish.
Hopefully, this property will be available for our next family reunion in Canaan!!

We rented this house last minute and everything was ready for us. The owner was in contact with us and answered all of our questions. He was very clear about what to expect and how to get in. It has the coolest old fashioned decorations and is very cozy. Definitely recommend 👌

Great weekend spent with family. House was large enough for our family of 5 and 2 dogs with room to spare. Fishing was good for August. Enjoyed my morning paddle in the kayak and kids used other boats for fishing and exploring the lake. Dogs loved jumping off the dock and the shallow water area.

Spacious cabin with a great view of the lake from the living room and the large back deck, privacy from neighbors, dock to swim off of and not a lot of boat traffic. Very peaceful and relaxing.

This was our 3rd summer staying at Bob's cottage, we look forward to it every year. We love just spending time on the deck and on the water using the canoe, kayaks, fishing and watching the wildlife. There was a bald eagle this year! The house has everything you could possibly need and Bob is just a text away if you have any questions. If you need to leave the lake there is plenty of hiking, shopping and restaurants nearby. My dog thinks it's heaven on earth and I agree!

This house is right on Goose Pond, a great location with everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The owner went out of his way to ensure we settled in well and we felt at home from the moment we arrived. I hope we can stay again soon!

We loved Goose Pond. The cabin and area exceeded our expectations.
It was peaceful, quaint and comfortable. We were in the area for a Dartmouth graduation. The drive is about 25 minutes. And it was really fine, not super convenient, but a beautiful easy drive. I am glad we chose to stay at Goose Pond rather than a condo closer to town.
We relaxed, we fished, cooked out and really enjoyed our stay.
Thank you!

This is the 2nd time we have been to this awesome lake front location. We came to explore the beautiful area and fish on the lake. It truly is a pristine Lake and the house is very comfortable and totally equipped. Bob , the owner was very attentive to our needs. I would highly recommend this property. Brian and friends

The setting of this property is so beautiful! There is a huge picture window overlooking the pond and just through that is a large deck to really enjoy the outdoors.
The house was very comfortable for our whole family of five. The nostalgic decor made us smile and there was something interesting to see in every room, but the appliances look brand new and worked perfectly and there was plenty of hot water for the showers.
Our host Bob was warmly communicative about giving us lots of information about the area and was just a text away. You can tell he really cares for this place. Also, his neighbors say he's a great guy.

This is our 2nd year on Goose Pond and have already booked for next year. We love relaxing on the large deck looking over the water, fishing off the dock,using the kayaks. and of course swimming . There's plenty of hiking nearby and lots to do. Bob is an amazing host, extremely easy to communicate with. The house has plenty of room and has everything you could possibly need . We only wish we could stay all summer!

We had another amazing week at Goose Pond. We feel like we are at home when there. The pups get out of the car and head right into the water like they own the place. =0) We look forward to the years to come at Goose Pond.

More than I ever.....
We spent four terrific days at this lovely waterfront home on Goose Pond (Lake!). It was graduation weekend at Dartmouth College for our son, and this place provided a great retreat from the pageantry and hubbub of Hanover, just a half hour drive away. It is in-character rustic and has all one could need for family meals, relaxing, and recreating. Kitchen had all we needed for group meals, beds were comfortable, and laundry facilities off the kitchen made it easy! Bob our host is attentive and responsive. We would love to visit again during fall or winter!

Christmas getaway
We had the most wonderful stay at Bob’s place. It was the perfect place for a snowy NH Christmas getaway. Suitably remote and picturesque yet close to many beautiful, charming towns for an excellent blend of relaxation and activity. The house was very well equipped and spacious. Bob was an excellent host providing us with great dining recommendations (listen to him and go to Ariana’s!) and general info on the area. We loved every minute and are already planning our next stay.

Great location and host
A fun classic cabin with an awesome lakefront location. Host was super, even penning a hand written letter with great info. Cabin is full of interesting artifacts. And held us 5 comfortably.. Just an FYI the kitchen is pretty classic but functional

Great Location on a quiet and peaceful lake.
Plenty of living space and bedding for our large family. Not good for toddlers, too many things at their level to get into, plus no railing on the decks. Great dock, although tippy, and variety of kayaks and boats to use. Best was watching the Loons and their young.

Beautiful ,relaxing lake house
We had an amazing stay at Robert’s lake house. The house has everything you could possibly need. The lakefront was beautiful with a large deck to enjoy the lake. We kayaked, canoed, fished, swam, hiked the collete and Bicknell trails, visited with friends and family in the area, took a trip to Farm way and Quechee and more!! I loved listening to the loons and owls at night, so peaceful! Hoping to come back next year!

Truly is Heaven on Earth !
The Lake House was very quaint, fully stocked, rustic, clean and private! It’s just what we were looking for. Our host Robert was always available and gave us some great recommendations for , restaurants and hiking in the area. The lake itself is probably the most beautiful pristine lake I have ever been too! Loons were always on the lake and we did a lot of fishing. We caught and released Some huge Bass and Pickerel. We Would love to book it again! Brian C

Cozy Pondside Castle
One of the primary reasons for staying at this property (other than the home itself) was its proximity (<30 min drive) to a multitude of outdoor winter activities such as xc skiing, ice skating, sledding and snowshoeing. The pond was frozen during our stay, so we made our own ice-skating rink directly behind the house ... an unforgettable experience.

Idyllic Getaway
The location was perfect. I only wish the weather had been such that we could have spent more time on the deck enjoying the scenery. I suspect we will be booking for another stay during a warmer season to take advantage of the lake! Robert was very prompt in replying to my various questions. This lake house felt like home from the minute we entered.

Great Lake Spot with Terrific Hosts
We enjoyed spectacular fall foliage, whether it was while paddling in one of the many kayaks/canoes on hand (good supply of lifevests, even for our dog!), taking a beautiful scenic hike recommended by our host, or simply sitting on the back deck watching the sunset across the lake. Our host was incredibly helpful and communicative - he loves sharing this spot, and we're glad he did.

It was a great location for post-Labor Day relaxation and well located for hiking, biking and kayaking. Bob gave us great tips on where to go. The view from the deck and dock is perfect!

A dream of a week
We had the best experience on Goose Pond. Bob was amazing to work with. He was quick to respond and very thorough in his instructions. He gave us information about day trips too. The house is adorable. Filled with antiques and relics of years gone by. It is obvious that it has been loved. There are many many games, books and cd’s to fill your time with. The kayaks and boats were awesome! We even had 4 loons swim right up to us while we were out on the water. The pond community was very quiet, even on the holiday weekend. If you have the chance, please stay a week at this charming home.

Peaceful weekend at Goose Pond
Goose Pond Lake is relaxing, full of history, a quiet property to

Fantastic vacation on GP Road!
We had a great stay at Goose Pond. The house had plenty of room for 4 adults, 1 teen, and 4 dogs and was stocked with everything we needed. We cooked every night at the house followed by s’mores by the fire pit. The best part of the trip was the lake! It was perfect having kayaks, canoe, and row boat at the house and not having to bring our own. There was plenty of outdoor space for the dogs to chase tennis balls, swim, play and explore. We hiked Mount Cardigan and the view was spectacular, biked/walked the Boston Lot bike trails in Lebanon, and checked out One Love brewery in Lincoln. Bob answered questions promptly and was extremely helpful. We will definitely be back.

Lovely, quiet retreat
The location couldn't be nicer for a get-away vacation. Quiet, peaceful and lovely view of Goose Pond. We spent our time kayaking, swimming, sitting on the back porch, listening to the loons, and playing board games in the evenings. The host (Bob) is a gem. He sent us a hand-written note welcoming us and giving ideas of things to do. Throughout the visit he was helpful, responsive, and welcoming. The cabin is cute, rustic and what one would expect for an all-season camp on a lake - older appliances, no A/C, etc. - but, we expected this and found it cozy and to have plenty of room. We would definitely return in the future!
