About this property

Treehouse type cottage in private location - Pet friendly!

Looking for peace and quiet for your NH vacation? We have it here at Pemi Shore Cottages.

I have a completely furnished private 2bd/1ba cottage not far from water on a wooded hill with a great view. We call it the 'Tree House Cottage'. Has stairs to come down to the beach or you can drive down.

This cottage has full-size beds, gas heat, flat-screen cable TV, Wi-Fi internet, AC, microwave, outdoor grill, outdoor fireplace, and access to our 90 foot private beach and boat ramp. There's also a row boat, kayak, and paddle boat for you to use, no charge. Pets are very welcome (no fee!), 2 per cottage included, and dog sitting may be available (ask us!).

We also don't charge a cleaning fee, assuming you bring your own linens (default). Optionally, we can provide linens for a $50 cleaning fee at check-in. If you can let us know before arrival, they'll be ready for you.

Great fishing, water skiing and swimming on the Pemigewasset River in a secluded location without all the tourists! Extremely private. Close to the Franklin Falls dam and its 3900 acres of scenic trails!

Only 4 miles from Rt. 93 (exit 22), 2 miles to grocery stores and only 6 miles to the popular Tanger outlet stores in Tilton.

This was a quick stop (2 nights) before meeting up for a big family vacation. Cottage was perfect. It was exactly as described, pet friendly and we were able to enjoy a couple breweries and winery all nearby. John is an excellent communicator and we were happy we booked here.

What an Amazing Place!!! We stayed in the "Treehouse Cottage" it was such a cool spot up in the pine trees! We felt like we were out in the woods all by ourselves yet only a 2 minute walk to the river/beach. The fire pit and grill are located perfectly so you can grill while have a nice fire going. The cottage was very bright peaceful, I really loved the knotty Pine. We also had great views of the Franklin dam from the balcony. Cant wait to come back again, relax enjoy nature and hopefully catch the big bass 8 had hooked but lost.
Absolutely amazing picture from the private beach. I had to stop putting the row boat in the water so I could take the pic before sun came up
Nestled right in the trees😎

The property is a little piece heaven; private from neighboring cottages with a gorgeous view through the trees off the deck for morning coffee/afternoon snacks and easy access to the private beach. A private hammock, fire pit and picnic table next to the cottage was an extra bonus. Proximity to local outdoor activities and restaurants was excellent. John answered questions promptly before the trip and was there to greet us upon arrival. The check out process was just as easy. Thanks for a great getaway!

Great cottage!

My husband, two young kids and dogs had a great time at the cottage. The cottage was clean and fully stocked with comfortable beds, in a nice private area with private water front beach access. The dogs were welcome throughout the property and were even allowed to swim on the beach. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Nice getaway

Only possible negatives were the access to the water wasn't the best and the wifi was inconsistent but it is a nice getaway and I would stay here again. The grill and hammock were nice and the cottage was a fine roof over our heads. The owners and neighbors seem like fine people too.

Hello, thanks for your stay! Sorry about the wifi - just let us know while you're here of any issues as the router just needed a reboot. If you'd like a cottage on the water we have others available. :)

About the host

Hosted by John Holt

Host profile image
My name is John and I come up from Florida to help my mother out with the cottages, doing grunt work and anything computer related. :)

Why they chose this property

My parents bought the raw land in the 1980s and over time cleared the land, put in roads and services, and built the cottages by hand using rough cut wood from a local mill.

What makes this property unique

This location is VERY private. We are almost surrounded by town and federal land, including almost 4000 acres of Franklin Falls Dam Park. On a typical day we are the only people on this section of river, which is great for fishing, boating, watching nature or just soaking in the sun. Only 4 miles from 93 in central NH so you can zip around to other tourist spots.
