About this house rental

Kick back and relax in a waterfront chalet that combines cottage charm and modern amenities. Built in 2004, the house is on the sunny northern side of Chalk Pond, a pristine, 21-acre lake in Newbury, NH. Enjoy the waterside from your private floating dock with fishing (NH license required age 16+) and swimming, or boat over to the tiny island in the middle of the Pond. No powered craft are allowed on Chalk Pond; one full-size canoe, two single kayaks, two SU paddleboards and life jackets are provided with the house. You also have access to the homeowner's association private sandy beach, basketball court, tennis courts and newly updated playground.

It's a close-up look at the house that's just like being there. I apologize in advance for my amateur camera work.

Enjoy the beauty of nature without leaving the yard: listing photos show the turtles, chipmunks and duck families that visit daily. From the dock, watching the movement of the ever-changing water and its light reflected in a canopy of trees is mesmerizing and restful. From our front door, it's a five minute walk to the Stoney Brook Wildlife Sanctuary, where you can hike two different trails through a beautiful 362-acre preserve. Watch for moose, deer, flying squirrels, even porcupines! Walk to Kidder Tract and enjoy the state-maintained hiking trails. Take a 15-minute drive to Mt. Sunapee Harbor, Mt. Sunapee Ski Resort (offers a summer adventure park), or the quaint town of New London which has great shopping, restaurants and a summer stock theater.

Central air conditioning keeps everyone comfy all summer long. The master bedroom has a queen bed and private deck, the second bedroom has one twin and one full bed. The downstairs den has a TV and queen futon. The full deck off the living room offers a tranquil view of the water and features deck furniture and a gas grill. Finished walk-out basement has two futon chairs and TV; great place for kids and teens to hang out.

Wood paneling, hand-painted stencils, wall quilts and country decor give the house a comfortable, rustic feel. It's scrupulously clean and complimented by modern conveniences not all cottages have: completely equipped kitchen with brand-new appliances, dishwasher, two full baths, full-sized new washer and dryer and Wi-Fi access, internet speed has been upgraded to be the fastest available in the area.

We provide off-street parking for up to 3 cars: Newbury strictly prohibits on-street parking in front of the house at any time. To read our positive guest reviews, scroll down on this page. In high season (mid-June to Labor Day) house rents full weeks only, Saturday to Saturday. Please review house amenities and rules for a full picture of our well-appointed, waiting for YOU, home.

From warm summer days and cool summer nights to spectacular fall foliage and crystal clear water, let our home at Chalk Pond be your choice for a restful getaway.

Please note that for Fall 2024, the seasonal floating dock was removed on October 5 and will not be put back in the Pond until the following spring. (Waited too long one year and an early cold snap found us chopping the dock out of the iced-over Pond, yikes!) Guests staying after October 5 can still launch kayaks and canoe from our waterfront.

I stayed at this lovely cottage for the week. My family came up to enjoy a couple of the nice weather days and we all had a wonderful time. Cottage was clean and full of amenities. The host was excellent and was easy to communicate with. Highly recommend!

The waterfront cottage is appealing, comfortable, and well-equipped, and well managed. I particularly enjoyed my daily swims from the dock and found the cottage cozy on rainy mornings, making my week in New Hampshire very pleasant.

We had a great stay here. The house was very clean and everything was exactly as pictured. The kitchen was very well equipped including things one typically doesn't find in a rental such as cooking oii which was a nice surprise. All kinds of aquatic stuff to do in the pond with kayaks, paddleboards and a canoe. There was plenty of room for six adults. Marybeth is a great hostess and communicates effectively throughout. Very quiet, yet only 30 minutes from restaurants, markets etc. We would definitely return.

This was a hard review. My family had a good time but not necessarily because of the home. If you or anyone in your family cannot climb stairs, this is not the house for you. But this is not the reason for the less than 5 star review. It started a few days before we were leaving when the host informed us that they had a roof leak & would be having work done after us. When we got there, there were AC guys working on the home after check in time. They finally completed the work but the leak in the ceiling wasn’t completely fixed so part of the ceiling fell out. It looked like a part that was patched before. The front door lock had a low battery reading from the time we got there. We ended up changing batteries so the owner didn’t have to come in. The host also contacted us about needing to look at outside ac. They came by the house & ended up taking the fuse out & forgot to put it back in. After a long day out, we came back to a hot house & had to fix it ourselves. The decks, chairs, kayaks & canoe were also dirty. And be prepared for lots of muck around the dock. The trash cans in the kitchen were gross & the washer had black mold. The overall feel about the home is that the bare minimum is cleaned & maintained. It’s dated. And after a long first day, you don’t expect to have to put sheets & pillowcases on. But those are in the closet & not on the bed. And the last thing you want to do the morning before check out is clean all the linens & towels & put them away before 10am.

Great location if you like outdoor activities including hiking, biking, swimming, kayaking, and tennis. We were fortunate to have great weather with one rainy day that was filled with reading and games. Marybeth (the host) was amazing providing all the details and bring available for any questions.
