House with 150 feet private lakefront - quiet, rustic, homey, near Bretton Woods

Welcome to our family cabin on Burns Pond where we have built wonderful memories for many years. We would love to share this with other families to build their own memories of swimming in the lake, and paddling the canoe around the lake in the summer or skating and skiing in the winter.

Our cabin is old fashioned and homey. We have a spectacular view, a private dock, and 150 feet of private lake frontage with a canoe, rowboat, 3 kayaks and a supply of life jackets. Inside we have a fully equipped kitchen, lots of board games, books and Wifi. It is fully winterized so it can be enjoyed year round. Our intent is not to furnish a hotel experience but rather an old fashioned camp experience, updated with lots of comforts. We are not able to allow parties or events.

We are located on the northwestern side of the White Mountains. In Whitefield itself you can enjoy Sunday morning pancake breakfasts on the common or golf at the Mountain View Grand. In the area there are many activities including hiking (35 minutes to base of Mt Washington at the cog railroad, 35 minutes to Appalachia trail head, 60 minutes to Pinkham Notch), skiing (30 minutes to Cannon Mountain, 20 minutes to Bretton Woods), Santa’s Village (20 minutes), and local summer theatre (10 minutes to Weathervane Theater). You may also choose to shop in Littleton, featuring many varied shops including the Guinness book record holder for the World’s longest candy counter: Chutters.


On the water there is a dock with a swimming ladder to get in and out of the lake. Near the water there is another deck on land with a picnic table if you would like to eat by the lake. On the opposite side of the house there is a shaded porch equipped with a grill and a table to eat outside.

Our main floor has a living room area with large windows facing the lake, a dining table which seats 8, a kitchen, pantry and mudroom. Also on the main floor is a full bath with a washer and dryer. There is a main bedroom room with a queen size bed and a balcony overlooking the lake.

The top floor has 2 bedrooms and a 1/2 bath. One bedroom has 2 double beds. The other has 2 single beds. The rooms have privacy curtains, rather than doors. The walls are rough finished.

The walk out basement also has large windows overlooking the lake. The front half of the basement is partially finished with a sitting area. There are also a double bed and 2 single beds in the open area which are available for sleeping. There is also a 3/4 bath with a shower. There is a television for watching a DVD from the collection there. There is no cable and the TV does not pick up any local stations. The back half of the basement contains the utility section - oil tanks, furnaces and the like.

Verizon phone service has good coverage in the area. The service from other companies may vary.

The Wifi is satellite and usually able to stream videos although infrequently it may be spotty. It is not appropriate for gaming.

There is a circular staircase between the 3 levels. While it is not completely handicapped accessible the main floor is useable by people with limited mobility. The house itself requires someone to be able to manage one step. Once inside; the main bedroom, living area, kitchen and bathroom are all on one floor. The access to the bathroom can accommodate a traditional sized walker. The handicap access to the building itself is a driveway ramp which goes down to building but this ramp is not clear in winter. Winter access is by a set of stairs.

We do allow some breeds of dogs. Due to allergies and liability we cannot allow any other pets. Please review with the owner for more information.
