  My husband and I recently spent a month of October at the lovely Chalk Pond cottage. We were absolutely thrilled with everything - the location, the house, the area. The house was beautifully decorated with many touches that felt personal. We had all of the conveniences - WiFi was especially appreciated how long we spent there! It was very clean and comfortable - a delightful place in an absolutely beautiful part of New Hampshire. Marybeth was very prompt to answer all of my questions and could not have been more accommodating. I cant imagine having a better experience anywhere. We did alot of hiking and sightseeing and many things were close by. It was a delightful stay.

  Had a great time. The house is nice, kitchen has all you need and the fishing at the lake was great. The 5 lb bass I caught off the dock made me a hero to my four year old.

  This property is NIRVANA in New Hampshire. If you are looking for a peaceful and relaxing place look no farther. We really enjoyed our week and our teenage children had a good time as well!! Great house, beautiful surroundings, and an ideal location if you want to hit the local attractions or plan day trips. Our daughter will be attending college in NH so we will definitely be back.

  We had a fantastic time at this cottage. The home was clean and lovely with every aminity you could need. It was just as it appeared in the photos. The owners, are very easy to deal with, prompt and very helpful. I give this place 5/5! The pond was clean, the kids and adults had a fun time with the canoe and Khayak. There is a sandy beach you can get to on foot or by canoe which was clean and fun to swim in. Several hiking trails right from front door. New London was very convient as well as Newbury, and other small New England towns. 5 of us stayed very comfortably in this rental. Thank you very much for opening your home to us! Catherine B

  My family of four, with two young kids, stayed for a week in August, and we loved it! The house is beautiful, with nice wood walls, and very comfortable. The decks outside the house, both on the 2nd and 3rd floors are also great. We were a little squeamish about swimming from the dock, but had lots of fun taking the canoe to the community beach, which is across the lake. We also rode our bikes to the beach. The community beach itself is wonderful, with a nice shallow swimming area for young kids, and deeper water with a raft for adults and older kids to swim out to. The water is very clean and fantastic for swimming. The people around the lake are very friendly, and we enjoyed talking to them. There's tons of activities in the Newbury area, with lots of state forests, hiking trails, Mount Sunapee, and Sunapee State Beach, which is also lovely. It rained a few days while were there, but we found some nice museums in New London. This house is a gem, and I would highly recommend it!

  We just returned home from a week on Chalk Pond and already miss the serenity!! The home was PERFECT for our family and we loved the quiet pond and easy access to the sandy beach. The home is immaculate and very well appointed...nice furniture, excellent, functional kitchen and superb floor plan. Ceiling fans and open windows made even the warmest days easy to tolerate. Easy access to Newbury Harbour and New London made groceries and restaurants a breeze. We hiked, took the gondola up Mount Sunapee, visited our daughter at Dartmouth, fished daily from the dock and kayaked Chalk Pond until our shoulders ached! The little island was a big bonus for our children. Coinciding with the Annual League of NH Craftsmen Fair was a total bonus! A loon entertained us on the pond for hours on end. Marybeth could not have been more hospitable or accomodating and VERY accessible. A perfect New Hampshire getaway!

  This home is very well maintained and the owner was a pleasure to work with. The house worked perfectly for my two active daughters (3 and 6 years old). There was just enough room for them to spread out their games on the rainy days. The kitchen is well stocked, the laundry is convenient and the bedrooms are cozy. The owner is even kind enough to have instant netflix streaming available. The house is on the water with a dock and canoe to toot around the pond and go over to the beach. Chalk Pond is a small little beach, and when it got a bit too crowded for my girls we went over to lake sunnapee beach and had a blast. The two decks off the back of the home are where I spent most of my time...grilling our dinners and watching the pond. I would recommend this home and this property owner to anyone looking for a quite little house on a quiet little pond. Perfect for a small family like mine.

  We recently spent 5 days at the cottage for a family vacation. The cottage is immaculate. The owner is fantastic to deal with. She responded promptly to all our questions and mailed security deposit days after our stay. My son loved fishing off of the dock and the girls loved canoeing. The area is very quiet and peaceful. It was a bonus to have wifi. This is a great place if you are looking to kick back and relax. There isn't much to do in the surrounding area but the interstate gives you access to the more touristy places.

  We recently spent a week at the cottage and found it absolutely perfect in every regard. This home is beautifully appointed, perfectly maintained and extremely comfortable. Chalk Pond is a jewel and this home takes full advantage of the view from the windows, decks and dock. We found it to be the ideal location for making day trips to the White Mountains, Lake Sunapee, Lake Winnipeasukee and all the surrounding areas. At the end of each day, it was a joy to come back to the house to relax from the daily adventures. We highly recommend this property to anyone seeking a relaxing vacation in a beautiful location. The owner was extremely helpful and a delight to deal with.
