Including multiple homes we've stayed in with different services, this house blows the rest out of the water. The owners have truly thought of everything. It was the cleanest house we've stayed in, the kitchen had everything you'd need and more, they have a first aid kit, flashlights, tons of hooks for jackets and towels, a dog crate so you don't have to bring your own, a desk with keyboard, monitor, and mouse, and on and on. Plus the view from anywhere on the back side of the house is amazing. Canoeing, kayaking, fishing, and a fire pit right out the back door. We definitely want to come back in the summer so we can take full advantage of the lakeside location.

Very cool house right on the water. Clean, updated, and well appointed. The road in was quite muddy and rutted up but also kind of fun. Thank you for a great stay!

Great spot on Perkins Pond! House was perfect for our small group, easy access to Mt Sunapee and the region.

This house is an absolute delight and Laura is a consummate host! The location is perfect with stunning views of the mountains across Perkins Pond and just a short 17 minute drive to Mt. Sunapee for skiing. We even had the extra bonus of ice skating the day after a little rain fell to create a perfect surface for my kids (age 9 and 6), who hadn't ice skated before. The house is well appointed with lots of white fluffy towels -- and thoughtfully provided with dark towels for those of us who travel with dogs and need to wipe off snowy paws ;-) The beds are comfy and the open plan space make it ideal for hanging out and enjoying one another's company. There are many thoughtful touches like teas, coffees, and spices provided as well as labels on all the lights so you don't drive yourself nuts trying to learn the set up. We'd definitely stay here again! :-)

We had the best time staying here. We barely left the house because it was so comfortable. The views were spectacular! We spent our mornings and evenings on the dock. It was breathtaking! The host was super responsive and nice. Everything we needed in the house was there. We appreciated all the labeling in the house that new it easy to find things. We would return to stay here in a heartbeat. It was amazing!!!

Everything about the property was just as described if not better… Was a wonderful location to get away for a few days. The property was clean and communication was excellent. Will definitely stay here again if given the opportunity!

The place was beautiful and the host was great . Our first time using VRBO and our experience was awesome. Had a great time.

This is a wonderful lake front property. Very clean. Good location. Very quite. Great supply of clean towel. Nice fire pit. Charcoal grill. Two bed rooms on with a large picture window that looks out on the lake. Highly recommended.

We stayed here during the winter for a ski weekend and I was eager to come back to check it out during the summer. Water view is stunning. It’s a perfect size for our family of 4 + water obsessed lab, and grandmother visiting a few days. House is updated and bright, has all the amenities. Lots of fun things to do in the area. Owner’s super responsive. Great spot.

Our family had an amazing time at the cottage! It was wonderful to not have to think of sheets, towels, toiletries and other necessities! Our three year old enjoyed splashing and swimming in the water and our chocolate lab loved being a part of our family vacation! The pond itself is a quiet retreat and hidden gem. Laura thought of everything and it was the perfect place to relax for the week. We will definitely be back again!!

We had an amazing time at the lake. The property was clean and VERY well appointed including all the towels and kitchen supplies you need. The lake was very quiet during the week and allowed us to explore via canoe and kayak.

Hi! The property and location was wonderful and we had an amazing time with our family. Great set up and had everything we needed. The charcoal grill was a challenge as we haven't used one in a million years. Fishing was great the boys and husband loved relaxing and fishing. It was great to be able to have our fur baby and he enjoyed relaxing as well. Thank you very much! Great memories made

Laura’s place was even better than the pictures describe! I am a clean freak and this place was cleaned as I would have cleaned my own home. The property is beautiful…we were able to take the canoe out and do some brief wading in the pond. The outdoor furniture was the perfect touch! Loved the black out shades and that the kitchen had everything we needed and more. We didn’t want to leave. Hoping to return one day!

The property is perfectly located on Perkins Pond, which offers a wonderful and tranquil view of the water. The house is tastefully decorated and appointed with all the amenities one could need for a vacation in the woods.

Good skiing and great views of the lake in the morning for sunrise and afternoon for sunset

My husband, sons (6&8), our golden retriever, and I just returned from a wonderful week at Perkins Pond. We were so comfortable and at peace while at the cottage that instead of 7 nights, we stayed 8. The cottage was larger than we expected, clean, and beautifully (yet comfortably!) appointed. The open floor plan on the main living level, high ceilings, and abundant natural light all day long ensured that we didn't feel cooped up or on top of each other. The bedrooms are both spacious and comfortable. The linens and towels are crisp, clean, soft, and plentiful, and the bathrooms are stocked with many of the same soaps and shampoos that we use at home. The kitchen had it all, from a wide variety of quality pots, pans, and cooking utensils, to cleaning supplies and paper products, basic cooking oils and simple spices, to a drawer stocked with aluminum foil and ziploc bags, to cute silicone ice cube trays in the freezer, we truly found everything we needed. We spent our mornings participating in the boys remote learning via the strong WiFi signal, our days skiing at Mount Sunapee (truly only 15 minutes away), and our evenings enjoying phenomenal sunsets while building an igloo on the frozen pond before cozying up to watch a movie on the smart TV in the family room. We texted a few minor questions to the owner, Laura, during our stay, and never waited more than 15 minutes for a friendly and helpful response from her. Perkins Pond Cottage is an absolute gem - we will most certainly return!

Excellent house. Very clean and well stocked. Fabulous vacation! Thanks again!!

Beautiful views, comfortable, quiet, and cozy setting. Kitchen supplies for all our needs to cook in. Quick drive to the mountain.

We loved every minute of our long weekend stay. The house is easy to find and located on a quiet street. Everything was confortable and clean. The kitchen is well stocked and by well stocked I mean has everything you need including a lovely coffee bar. The living room has these fabulous swivel chairs that are perfect for enjoying a morning cup of coffee while watching the local wildlife skitter by. The beds are comfortable and the bathrooms are well stocked with more then enough towels and hooks! The entire family enjoyed playing board games at the dining room table. We hope to return and enjoy the house in the summer months. The owners have thought of everything and created a wonderful retreat.

Modern but quaint. Lovely owners. Excellent for a skiing weekend, we will be back!

Perfect 2 bedroom cottage with awesome views of the pond right in the backyard! Great hosts and very easy ~10min drive to Mt. Sunapee! Highly recommended staying here!

We had the wonderful opportunity to stay on Perkins Pond for two months during the COVID stay at home restriction period. Even during an uncertain time, this house had everything we needed to feel safe, comfortable, and promote a sense of tranquility based upon our surroundings. The floor to ceiling windows in the back of the house really made us feel like we weren’t constrained while in our isolated bubble from everyone! Megan was a fantastic host. She was super responsive and checked-in to make sure we had everything we needed. She really put the time and effort to think of what guests would need and have those items at our fingertips. The kitchen is stocked with plenty of dishes, cooking utensils and pots & pans. The island was a perfect location for us to do work or schooling. The Internet bandwidth also extended outside to the seating area to allow laptop work while keeping a close eye on kids when they are in the water. In the evenings, the house is perfectly positioned to get the best view of the pond and surrounding vista to watch amazing sunsets whether you are sitting on the couch or on the dock. The pond is clear & clean and we had a great time canoeing, paddle boarding, swimming, fishing and catching newts as the weather got warmer. We definitely will take away great memories of our time there and already miss the view!

Beautiful view, cozy home, conveniently located near ski and restaurants. Would love to check it out in summer months! Super easy check in and owner was very responsive. Thanks for a great ski weekend!!

Beautiful space. Clean and open. Great location! We loved skating on the pond.

House was a perfect size for a group of women, nicely setup and clean. We swam, played cards and enjoyed view. We would like to come back.

We initially booked the lakefront cottage as a place to stay while working in the area. Our work ended up being rescheduled but because of the refund policy, we decided to keep the reservation anyway and I am so glad we did! Gorgeous mornings enjoying a cup of coffee and a view of the lake with its light blanket of mist. Afternoons playing in and on the lake. We brought our own Stand Up Paddleboards and paddled around the perimeter. The kitchen is spacious and bright and has most everything you need. We made healthy and delicious meals with food we brought and got at the nearby market. We also mapped out a run and ran around the neighborhood. We were there Mon-Thursday morning and it was very quiet. A pontoon boat here and there, a few kayakers, a couple in a padddleboat and young family fishing out of a canoe...that was about it. Very peaceful during the week we were there. At night, we loved the spectacular sunsets. We ate dinner down on the dock until the sun went down and there were very few bugs. The cottage queen bed was comfortable and had nice linens. The shower, albeit small, is cute and has great pressure and ample amounts of hot water. We played cards (which is something we never do) and just recharged! The cottage is perfect if you’re looking to get away. It feels private, open and airy. The ac’s work well. I know the owners just bought it and will continue to make upgrades. I have allergies so not a big fan of the burber carpet but everything else was really good enough. The mid-century, minimalist decor was just fine. The owner was always there when I had a question and was very attentive to our needs and open to suggestions. We will recommend this cottage to our friends and family seeking this type of retreat and we will likely return when time permits.

A lovely quiet spot right on the water with a dock to swim from. Wonderful sunsets. Close to Sunapee Harbour and amenities. This was a special cottage to rent.
