We are a vacation rental available from May through October 31 and closed November 1 through April 30th.

Our pet-friendly private, peaceful, pond with panoramic views of Scott Pond is only 6 miles from Franklin Pierce University in Rindge, 7 miles from Mt. Monadnock, 15 miles from Keene, NH, and 75 miles from Boston.

Maximum occupancy at the property is 3 people, regardless of who is spending the night.

Tranquility awaits – Ours is the only occupied home on a private drive with extensive water frontage on Scott Pond. A must see for all bird watchers and nature lovers and we regularly have blue herons, geese, ducks, eagles, and beavers visiting and especially enjoy seeing the blue herons hunting. Our niece came to visit and was thrilled to catch her first large mouth bass.

There is a beaver dam around the corner from our peninsula which limits the kinds of boats that visit our part of the pond from the larger part of Scott Pond which keeps our side very private and peaceful.

Also nearby is a pick your own berry farm which has raspberries, gooseberries, currants, and blueberries.

The Cheshire Rail Trail which is 21 miles long and goes from Keene through Fitzwilliam on its way to Northfield.

We are 1.2 miles from a Mr Mikes/Duncan Donuts convenience store and gas station and Sasha (very good) breakfast/lunch restaurant and the Los Agaves Mexican Restaurant. Nearby in Rindge, NH, is the Hometown Diner which is a classic diner with indoor and outdoor seating.

The large AC in the living room keeps the whole home comfortable during the summertime.

Questions:

>Is the pond swimmable?
Most guests do not swim in the pond.

The pond water is tea-colored due to natural tannins from decaying organic matter such as leaves and trees, which leach into the water. This process, similar to steeping tea, can stain the water a tea-like color. The pond bottom is soft so I wear pond Aqua Sox to help keep my feet clean and safe.

>are there boats, canoes, or kayaks available.
We do not offer any watercraft due to liability issues.
There is a local canoe and kayak rental place 2 miles away.

NOTE:
Ours is a 3-season home with central heating and is rentable from April through October and shut down from November through March.

We are also available by the season.

>What is the condition of the road and driveway?
For some reason a guest was upset that the quarter mile dirt road and driveway has bumps so that driving faster than 15 miles per hour is bumpy.
