About this house rental

Crystal clear Rust Pond contemporary waterfront home with picturesque lake views from every angle and multiple decks. Your vacation home has central AC for hot days and a cozy gas stove and central heat for chilly nights. There is also a patio area to hang out and play corn hole and enjoy the views of the lake. The firepit is perfect for smores during those cool nights. Rust Pond is an oligotrophic lake with excellent swimming, SUP boarding, kayaking, fishing, etc. The home offers privacy in a peaceful lakeside setting, yet is just 10 mins from Wolfeboro downtown restaurants, farm to table fare, art galleries and boutique shopping.

In the fall, the beautiful foliage is all around you and you can still get out onto the water to experience fall on the lake. The crisp weather is also perfect for local hikes and enjoying the firepit area.

In winter the lake freezes over, providing opportunities to explore the lake like never before - ice fishing, walking, snowshoeing, skating, or cross country skiing.

Sewall woods (5mi) provide miles of groomed cross country skiing trails and snowshoeing paths. Nordic Skier Sports (4mi) provides the rentals and trail pass you need to enjoy a day out snowshoeing or cross country skiing.

Perfect weekend getaway! The minute we arrived we went to the lake and used the kayaks. I saw loon and we had fun on the water. The beds were all comfortable . The kitchen had everything we needed. The location was very convenient so we enjoyed the town of Wolfeboro and neighboring communities for dining, shopping, fishing and hiking. The host was very quick with responses and checked in to make sure we were all happy. Checkin and checkout was easy as can be. I would definitely rent here again !

Our stay was brief, only 2 nights but thoroughly enjoyable and with all the amenities! Easy walk down to the dock and water. Water was so clear we couldn’t believe it! Our grandson fished from dock and, of course, did the Polar Bear plunge!!! Restaurants nearby and the wonderful resort town of Wolfeboro just minutes away. We had a lovely visit in a very comfortable, clean vacation home!

I grew up summers at my Grammie’s cottage on Rust Pond…my dream was to celebrate Thanksgiving there someday. We had such a fabulous time celebrating Thanksgiving with our daughter/boyfriend and new baby facing my favorite place - Rust Pond. I would gladly come back here to do this all over again.

The home, and property were just as described, clean, comfortable and beautifully appointed. It is clear the owners have put a lot of thought and effort, sparing no expense, to make their guest feel at home, paying attention to every detail. The pond itself is beautiful and clean although we did not go in but only because of chilly temperatures otherwise it was very tempting. I would certainly recommend this property to friends and family and we hope to return in the future as well.

Very enjoyable stay at this property. My husband and I were looking for some R&R after a hectic year and this was the place. Great, private location, beautiful pond (that does actually look like a lake) and very clean and well situated house. Absolutely loved the landing with the fire pit and watching the sun set at the end of each day. Very close to town and all the area attractions. Hosts were very responsive and a pleasure to coordinate with throughout the stay. We would definitely book again.

I and my three besties just returned from a girlfriend trip to this lovely lake house on Rust Pond. The house is spacious and beautiful with comfy touches everywhere. We loved spending our time on the back deck enjoying the call of the loons. We also liked reading in front of the floor to ceiling windows in the living room. Kitchen was very nice and well equipped. The fire pit down by the water was amazing. Beds and linens were cozy. The host was very responsive. We would definitely recommend this property!
