Recently Renovated Year-Round Waterfront Cottage on Otter Pond

This is our 3rd year renting this great cottage on Otter Pond - The bunk beds serve our 2 kids well with an extra bed in there if needed - we love the gas fireplace and it's a great feeling to turn it on when we return from a day of skiing at Mt Sunapee - the kitchen is well equipped and has everything you could ask for to cook a nice meal at home - which we did every night - The living room has a ton of room - 2 big couches plus a comfy chair - we could all be in there reading, watching tv etc and never felt crowded. The owner is very responsive to inquiries and even provided fresh ground coffee upon our arrival which was delicious! The garage certainly came in handy for us as a place to store our skis - we consider this our home away from home during our ski season - a great place!

We had a great relaxing 2 weeks at the Otter Pond cottage in October 2017. We served together in the Woman Marines way back in the 1960s but lost touch for 40 years. We reconnected a couple of years ago and we get together a couple of times a year to play catch-up. This cottage was the perfect place to stay and just relax and spend a lot of time catching up on each other's lives, families, etc. The cottage is very comfortable and fully equipped with anything you could possibly need. It's such a quiet and peaceful place to stay and the mist on the pond in the early morning sunlight was so pretty. I frequently rent through VRBO and this was the best so far and I will definitely be back.

We loved this little cottage on the pond. We went for a quick 5 day getaway in November with no real plans of doing anything. We just wanted to get away to a small town and relax.

The house is very nicely furnished and we had zero issues during our stay.

A few things to note for future renters, while there are a few food establishments near by we typically had to drive about 30 mins up or down the road to get a bigger selection of restaurants. If you are a very tall person the house might feel small for you as the ceiling are a little low. I'm 5'9 and could easily reach up and touch them so anyone who is 6'5 or so might have to duck at door ways.

We really enjoyed the location and the quietness of the area. we are already planning to come back and stay here during a time there will be snow on the ground. We are hoping the pond will be frozen also during our next trip as it is absolutely beautiful and crystal clear.

Our security deposit was promptly refunded and we never had any communication issues with the owner. I would easily recommend this property for others to rent.

What could be better. Great spot for a family or a couple. Second bedroom has bunk beds. Main bedroom has an IKEA type platform bed. Well equipped kitchen, good TV, plenty of games & puzzles. Perfect location for sightseeing New England. Cottage is close to New London for good restaurants, shopping & ice cream. We had easy drives to Vermont, the northern NH mountains and the southern Maine coast. We climbed nearby Mt. Kearsarge & Mt Sunapee. We had a great visit & hit peak foliage, too. Wow. This was our second year at Otter Pond and hope to stay again on our next trip to New England.

The cottage is very clean and well equipped. It is simply but tastefully furnished. We went the day after Labor Day so the activity on the water was minimal. We were able to enjoy canoeing on an empty tranquil pond. The owners provided games and puzzles as well as the canoe and life jackets.They were very helpful and easy to contact. We had a great time. We are already talking about renting it again next year.

The cottage is also convenient to Quechee Gorge and the VINS Nature Center, The Shaker Museum and numerous antique stores. There are plenty of good restaurants within a reasonable drive.

The cottage is set up for year round use with central heat and a gas fireplace if your more into winter sports. Skiing is available nearby. The cottage is easy to find and close to major highways.
