About this house rental
Welcome to our family cabin on Burns Pond where we have built wonderful memories for many years. We would love to share this with other families to build their own memories of swimming in the lake, and paddling the canoe around the lake in the summer or skating and skiing in the winter.
Our cabin is old fashioned and homey. We have a spectacular view, a private dock, and 150 feet of private lake frontage with a canoe, rowboat, 3 kayaks and a supply of life jackets. Inside we have a fully equipped kitchen, lots of board games, books and Wifi. It is fully winterized so it can be enjoyed year round. Our intent is not to furnish a hotel experience but rather an old fashioned camp experience, updated with lots of comforts. We are not able to allow parties or events.
We are located on the northwestern side of the White Mountains. In Whitefield itself you can enjoy Sunday morning pancake breakfasts on the common or golf at the Mountain View Grand. In the area there are many activities including hiking (35 minutes to base of Mt Washington at the cog railroad, 35 minutes to Appalachia trail head, 60 minutes to Pinkham Notch), skiing (30 minutes to Cannon Mountain, 20 minutes to Bretton Woods), Santa’s Village (20 minutes), and local summer theatre (10 minutes to Weathervane Theater). You may also choose to shop in Littleton, featuring many varied shops including the Guinness book record holder for the World’s longest candy counter: Chutters.
On the water there is a dock with a swimming ladder to get in and out of the lake. Near the water there is another deck on land with a picnic table if you would like to eat by the lake. On the opposite side of the house there is a shaded porch equipped with a grill and a table to eat outside.
Our main floor has a living room area with large windows facing the lake, a dining table which seats 8, a kitchen, pantry and mudroom. Also on the main floor is a full bath with a washer and dryer. There is a main bedroom room with a queen size bed and a balcony overlooking the lake.
The top floor has 2 bedrooms and a 1/2 bath. One bedroom has 2 double beds. The other has 2 single beds. The rooms have privacy curtains, rather than doors. The walls are rough finished.
The walk out basement also has large windows overlooking the lake. The front half of the basement is partially finished with a sitting area. There are also a double bed and 2 single beds in the open area which are available for sleeping. There is also a 3/4 bath with a shower. There is a television for watching a DVD from the collection there. There is no cable and the TV does not pick up any local stations. The back half of the basement contains the utility section - oil tanks, furnaces and the like.
Verizon phone service has good coverage in the area. The service from other companies may vary.
The Wifi is satellite and usually able to stream videos although infrequently it may be spotty. It is not appropriate for gaming.
There is a circular staircase between the 3 levels. While it is not completely handicapped accessible the main floor is useable by people with limited mobility. The house itself requires someone to be able to manage one step. Once inside; the main bedroom, living area, kitchen and bathroom are all on one floor. The access to the bathroom can accommodate a traditional sized walker. The handicap access to the building itself is a driveway ramp which goes down to building but this ramp is not clear in winter. Winter access is by a set of stairs.
We do allow some breeds of dogs. Due to allergies and liability we cannot allow any other pets. Please review with the owner for more information.

We had a beautiful week on Burns Lake.
The house is just perfect and Ruth is the best Hostess!
The location is perfect and you are minutes away from some of the best hiking in the world.
We highly recommend this property!!

My wife and I together with my sister-in-law and brother-in-law spent 3 lovely weeks here this fall. With just a few exceptions it was a great place for what we were looking for. We enjoyed stunning autumn foliage overlooking beautiful Bynes Lake. We Hiked, canoed, kayaked, took in the sights, ate in, ate out, caught a show, visited family, etc. etc.
A few issues kept us from giving a 5 star...more like 4 1/2 stars. No network tv, so no football, the place is rather cluttered....I counted 75+ coffee mugs! Our in-laws weren't thrilled with staying downstairs but they were ok with it.
Overall we had a great stay and enjoyed ourselves!!

This property is just as listed with tons of extras. House allows for private areas to rest/sleep as well as comfortable gathering spots for lots of laughter. The pond is clean and beautiful and the dock was our favorite (and most used) hang out location of the week. The kayaks were available with tons of life jackets for all ages/sizes. Relaxing by the firepit while overlooking the pond as the sun sets and moon emerges was one of my favorite moments.
We look forward to another week at this property in the future.

Our family had a wonderful time on Burn's Lake. The house has direct access to the lake- it's own dock/ canoes/ kayak/ life jackets! The house is fully equipped for a family vacation and the kitchen is ready to handle cooking for all. Our hostess Ruth went out of her way to make sure everything was perfect. The lake and mountain views from the house are perfect. And then there are the homemade cookies...

This home is truly a gem. The location on the lake with a mountain view is amazing. It is the perfect place to get away from it all and spend quality time with your family. Ruth is the most amazing host I have ever had with a Vrbo property. She was there to greet us at check in and was always very responsive with communication. She left us incredible cookies too! We would love to stay again!

An amazing week!
What a fabulous week we had here. The accommodations were excellent. It was stocked with everything you could ever need. Only a few miles from town if you did need something. It was a pleasure meeting and chatting with you Ruth and sharing this wonderful spot with us. The lake was just so nice to take a break from the ongoing heat wave. It brought back so many memories having grown up in this area. Thank you again Ruth!!!

Felt like I was a valued guest of the family
Charming, comfortable house with amazing view. Felt bigger than it looks in the pictures. Too many wonderful, homey touches to mention. We felt like we were family friends who were lucky enough to use the house - that is how homey it felt. Had everything you could possibly need in kitchen, linens, booting equipment. This is a treasure and the owner was just as wonderful. We enjoyed paddling with loons and beavers. The lake was quiet - no loud motorboats. Very convenient location. Only slight disappointment was some road noise and lumber processing noises we could hear from across the lake - but that is the tradeoff for not driving way off into the north country.

Stay on Burn's Pond in Northern NH
We loved our stay, and our hostess as well. She was there to greet us when we arrived, and even texted us to make sure things were OK when she learned of a short-lived power outage that affected the cottage. We really liked her. The house itself is directly on the water with a dock. It is a rambling structure with lots of places to sit and read, nicely furnished, and a lot of personality and charm. We hope to return next summer - everyone liked it so much.

Fantastic Location!
This is our first time back to Burn's Pond in 15 years, and it was just as wonderful as we remembered it. Ruth's home is equipped with everything you could possible need to enjoy your vacation. All you need to do is pack you clothes! The home was clean and most importantly, warm and inviting. There are 3 kayaks that we used regularly. You can swim off the dock at the house or you can swim just a short walk down at the beach. The homemade cookies were the perfect welcoming treat. And the dog treats were a nice surprise for the dog too! We can't wait to come back!

Beautiful quiet idyllic spot.
Beautiful quiet idyllic spot. Her cabin is as advertised. It is a rustic type experience but beautifully situated. Nice spacious living room overlooking the lake. Well appointed and large kitchen. With an easy drive of many hikes in the White Mountains. Nice selection of boats to take out on the lake. An extremely relaxing and beautiful spot. I highly recommend.

Cabin Lake Life
Ruth's Cabin was great and we found everything we needed for our week. The extra touches of homemade cookies which were out of this world and other supplies. The house is located in a great spot and close enough to town to run to the store, but far enough away from things to feel like you were in the mountains on a lake. We loved Ruth's cabin and can't wait for the opportunity to return to her cabin in the future.

A great stay over the winter break
We had a great few days over the winter break. We spent our day time skiing at Bretton Woods (a 20min drive), and evenings reading and relaxing around the house. We are return visitors from the summer, and would visit again, as the location and cabin are perfect for our family + dog.

Lovely and comfortable cabin by the lakeside
We loved Ruth’s family cabin. It was so comfortable and big enough for our whole family plus two dogs. We spent our autumn weekend cooking and relaxing by the dock. My husband and son did some fishing and we also visited the local candy store which my kids are obsessed with. The house has everything you need and is very spacious. Ruth is such a kind person and even left us some food and treats to welcome us. I love the lake views from the house. Absolutely gorgeous watching the fog roll up in the morning. Thank you again for such a great weekend. Can’t wait to come back!

Great White Mountain Getaway
Great rustic cabin in the White Mountain area, serene lake with paddle boats and kayaks. Well stocked kitchen as far as knifes and pans. Would recommend for families visiting the area for hiking and the outdoors.

Magic
Ruth's property is nothing short of magical. The house is so charming and well stocked- we had absolutely everything we could need. The lake view is breathtaking. There are several kayaks, a canoe, and a rowboat that my family used almost the entire trip. Our dogs also had the BEST time, and we truly appreciated being able to share our vacation with our dogs. The fire pit was incredible and has my dad trying to find a huge rock to replicate it! Ruth was also incredibly lovely and welcoming, and this shines through in her lovely home. I would recommend this house to ANYONE. We had a group of 6 and we had tons of extra room; even with 8 people there would be plenty of room. I hope to return to this incredible home in the future! Thank you Ruth!

Great location and a wonderful house for the family!
We spent a week in late August with our dog, and had a great time. The water, dock and kayaks were big hits, as was the view of the mountains. A great launching point to explore the white mountains. The house was comfortable with plenty of games, puzzles and books, and fit us well. Willl definitely return!

Beautiful lake views
Ruth is a great host and communication was easy. The cabin was perfect for our group of three adults and two teens. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor space so people can spread out and have some privacy, but it also has a comfortable living room to hang out together too. The kitchen is well equipped. The place is right on the water and has gorgeous views from almost every room. A very relaxing holiday listening to the loons in the evening.

Perfect retreat for our family and dogs
We booked this house for a two-week quarantine away from home getaway. The location was great for hiking and cooling off in the lake. The kitchen had everything imaginable in it...we made our, cookies, pancakes, steak, burgers etc. We were very comfortable and our dogs thoroughly enjoyed themselves! We are thankful to have found a place to bring them. I love staying in homes like this one that are truly homes as opposed to sterile rental houses missing life plus important basics. The homeowner, Ruth, is lovely and responsive to all questions and needs. We had a great time and hope to come back.

We came for the Feb. school vacation to ski on Mt. Washington at Brenton Woods and couldn't have had a better experience. Perfect location, homely quaint home, super host, magical view of the lake, peaceful neighborhood. We'll come again without hesitation.
