Perkins Pond is the perfect spot for a leisurely swim, a day of fishing, or exploring the tranquil surroundings by kayaking or canoeing. Our private dock offers the perfect spot to launch your aquatic escapades. Mount Sunapee is a short 15-minute drive away. Retreat indoors to the light-filled sanctuary of our cottage after a day of outdoor fun, where comfort and relaxation await. Our cheerful and light-filled cottage was designed with family vacations in mind, from the bunk beds and board games to the well-organized kitchen and no-tears kids' shampoo. The main floor features an open floor plan with a wall of windows so you can take in the fabulous lake views while you... • Cook a family meal in the well-equipped kitchen with a gas range, dishwasher, full-size refrigerator, microwave, Keurig, kettle, and all the pots and pans you could possibly need. • Netflix and chill in front of the smart TV under cozy throw blankets • Connect your phone to the sound system and enjoy music through the in-ceiling speakers • Eat and play board and card games at the dining table that seats 8 comfortably. • Enjoy the ambiance of the electric fireplace - with or without heat. OUTSIDE.... Open the glass doors to sip your morning coffee (or evening glass of wine) in the Adirondack chairs on the lakeside lawn and take in the stunning views of Perkins Pond and the neighboring hills. At night, roast marshmallows in the Solo Stove fire pit (we provide the skewers!) while star-gazing. At the private dock you can go for a swim; fish for chain pickerel, bass, bluegill, and more; search for cute little salamanders in the shallows, and take a trip around Perkins Pond in our red canoe or fishing kayak! A variety of life jackets are available. If you want to bring your own boat (powerboats are allowed, and water-skiing is fun!), the public boat ramp is just up the street. When it's time to unwind, stretch out on the outdoor sofa and enjoy the mountain breeze. The patio also features a charcoal grill and outdoor dining set for 6, a comfortable outdoor sofa and chairs for lounging, and string lights overhead to illuminate nighttime conversations. BED & BATH.... At the end of the day, head upstairs where you'll find a full bath (walk-in shower) and two spacious bedrooms. The light-filled master bedroom features large windows with beautiful water views, a king bed with a Nectar Luxe memory foam mattress, a ceiling fan, and black-out shades so you can sleep in. Air conditioning in summer and heating in winter are through the in-ceiling mini-split unit, operated by remote control. Need to get some work done? The master bedroom also boasts a desk with a USB charging station as well as a computer monitor, mouse, and keyboard. There's also a nook with a washer and dryer in the master bedroom, and we provide you with laundry detergent, wool dryer balls, and a drying rack. With flexible sleeping arrangements for families or two couples traveling together, the second bedroom is the perfect spot for kids with two bunk beds, plus a queen bed with a Casper mattress. Two dressers offer ample room for storage, and the window has a blackout shade. Air conditioning in summer and heating in winter are through the in-ceiling mini-split unit, operated by remote control. FOR DOG OWNERS: We're dog owners, and we know how tough it is to find a nice vacation rental that welcomes our furry friend. That's why your house-trained pooch is a welcomed guest at Perkins Pond Cottage. Food and water bowls, a crate big enough for large breeds, and a 20-ft in-ground lead are available for your pooch. Your dog must be disclosed in your booking request, and there is a $50 fee per pet to cover the extra cleaning costs (because shed happens!). A NOTE ABOUT GROUP SIZE: The town of Sunapee recently restricted the number of guests that may be hosted in vacation rentals. No more than five guests are permitted, despite the number of beds that we offer. Please describe the number of people when booking - many thanks! You must be at least 25 years old to rent. Absolutely no parties, and no smoking on the property. The use of fireworks is not permitted. Please respect the neighbors and leave our home in the great condition you found it. Follow us on Insta @perkins\_pond for photos of fun things to do in the area and updates to the cottage! Guest access Keyless entry. We'll provide the code before you check in. Other things to note • July & August: Weekly rentals only, Saturday to Saturday. • All other months have a 2-night or 3-night minimum as noted. • $50 per dog per stay fee to cover additional cleaning (because shed happens!). Your dog(s) MUST be disclosed during booking. • Cell phone service is variable at the cottage. Depending on your carrier, you may not have any cellular reception. Connect to our free WiFi for calls and internet access. The WiFi is excellent and can be used for streaming and video calls. • The cottage is in a natural setting, so you should expect spiders, mosquitoes, ants, and the like to occasionally make their way inside the home. • The lake is home to fish, turtles, birds, crayfish, frogs, and other creatures who may pop by to say hello. You may want to wear water shoes if you don't like the squishy feeling of lake weed between your toes (that's what I do!). • There's a welcome book for guests with a copy of the house rules, WiFi access and appliance instructions, and local guides. • Fun fact: there is an unfinished artist's studio on the property that will greet you right when you drive in - it's a big tarped foundation - so you can use that as the marker that you've found the right spot, but then quickly forget about it and get distracted by the view of the pond. :) ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach towels ### Ski - Cross-country skiing nearby - Snowboarding nearby ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Kitchen island - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1.5 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Computer monitor - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - One pet total ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Upper floors accessible by stairs only - Smoking not allowed - Note from host: Absolutely no smoking in the home or on property. ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In the mountains - Near a hospital - On a lake - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Gym - Kayak - Snow sports gear - Water sports equipment - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Ice skating nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Sailing nearby - Sledding nearby - Snowmobiling nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Water tubing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/61000000/60670000/60662500/60662471/aff31f77.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Chic Farmhouse Decor | Deck w/View Sunapee - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 51 reviews CA $278 CA $601 total includes taxes & fees Oct 20 - Oct 21 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-20&endDate=2025-10-21&selected=60662471&PinnedHotelID=60662471&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/80000000/79110000/79103000/79102976/e79688e5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Sunapee Barn Retreat Sunapee - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 17 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-02&endDate=2025-11-03&selected=79102976&PinnedHotelID=79102976&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/38000000/37280000/37273700/37273678/8b5e7ff6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Boutique Cottage | Patio & Fire Pit | Deck w/ View New London - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 103 reviews CA $377 CA $854 total includes taxes & fees Oct 21 - Oct 22 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-21&endDate=2025-10-22&selected=37273678&PinnedHotelID=37273678&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/33000000/32650000/32642800/32642797/134f2de4.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Charming Lake Sunapee & Mt.

The location is perfect with stunning views of the mountains across Perkins Pond and just a short 17 minute drive to Mt. Sunapee for skiing. We even had the extra bonus of ice skating the day after a little rain fell to create a perfect surface for my kids (age 9 and 6), who hadn't ice skated before. The house is well appointed with lots of white fluffy towels -- and thoughtfully provided with dark towels for those of us who travel with dogs and need to wipe off snowy paws ;-) The beds are comfy and the open plan space make it ideal for hanging out and enjoying one another's company. There are many thoughtful touches like teas, coffees, and spices provided as well as labels on all the lights so you don't drive yourself nuts trying to learn the set up. We'd definitely stay here again! :-) ##### Jeni H. Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lauren K. Mar 4, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wanted a change of scenery, found serenity and joy My husband, sons (6&8), our golden retriever, and I just returned from a wonderful week at Perkins Pond. We were so comfortable and at peace while at the cottage that instead of 7 nights, we stayed 8. The cottage was larger than we expected, clean, and beautifully (yet comfortably!) appointed. The open floor plan on the main living level, high ceilings, and abundant natural light all day long ensured that we didn't feel cooped up or on top of each other. The bedrooms are both spacious and comfortable. The linens and towels are crisp, clean, soft, and plentiful, and the bathrooms are stocked with many of the same soaps and shampoos that we use at home. The kitchen had it all, from a wide variety of quality pots, pans, and cooking utensils, to cleaning supplies and paper products, basic cooking oils and simple spices, to a drawer stocked with aluminum foil and ziploc bags, to cute silicone ice cube trays in the freezer, we truly found everything we needed. We spent our mornings participating in the boys remote learning via the strong WiFi signal, our days skiing at Mount Sunapee (truly only 15 minutes away), and our evenings enjoying phenomenal sunsets while building an igloo on the frozen pond before cozying up to watch a movie on the smart TV in the family room. We texted a few minor questions to the owner, Laura, during our stay, and never waited more than 15 minutes for a friendly and helpful response from her. Perkins Pond Cottage is an absolute gem - we will most certainly return! ##### Lauren K. Stayed 8 nights in Feb 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### parker k.

We initially booked the lakefront cottage as a place to stay while working in the area. Our work ended up being rescheduled but because of the refund policy, we decided to keep the reservation anyway and I am so glad we did! Gorgeous mornings enjoying a cup of coffee and a view of the lake with its light blanket of mist. Afternoons playing in and on the lake. We brought our own Stand Up Paddleboards and paddled around the perimeter. The kitchen is spacious and bright and has most everything you need. We made healthy and delicious meals with food we brought and got at the nearby market. We also mapped out a run and ran around the neighborhood. We were there Mon-Thursday morning and it was very quiet. A pontoon boat here and there, a few kayakers, a couple in a padddleboat and young family fishing out of a canoe...that was about it. Very peaceful during the week we were there. At night, we loved the spectacular sunsets. We ate dinner down on the dock until the sun went down and there were very few bugs. The cottage queen bed was comfortable and had nice linens. The shower, albeit small, is cute and has great pressure and ample amounts of hot water. We played cards (which is something we never do) and just recharged! The cottage is perfect if you’re looking to get away. It feels private, open and airy. The ac’s work well. I know the owners just bought it and will continue to make upgrades. I have allergies so not a big fan of the burber carpet but everything else was really good enough. The mid-century, minimalist decor was just fine. The owner was always there when I had a question and was very attentive to our needs and open to suggestions. We will recommend this cottage to our friends and family seeking this type of retreat and we will likely return when time permits. ##### parker k.

The house was very comfortable and had everything we needed. We loved being able to take a morning canoe ride. My young son loved all the games to play with. I highly recommend staying here and hope to come back again soon! ##### Megan S. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anne W.

There were useful binders of information, spices and staples making the kitchen functional. The neighbors are friendly and the house is lovely, with plenty of outdoor seating to enjoy the view. The pond is pretty quiet with a few motor boats or jet skies. Overall we had a very relaxing week. Thank you!!! ##### Kyleigh v. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Wendy W.

The road in was quite muddy and rutted up but also kind of fun. Thank you for a great stay! ##### Trevor C.

Water view is stunning. It’s a perfect size for our family of 4 + water obsessed lab, and grandmother visiting a few days. House is updated and bright, has all the amenities. Lots of fun things to do in the area. Owner’s super responsive. Great spot. ##### Emily M. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2021
