Photos and Description of the Newfound Lake vacation cottage rental 3 Bedrooms, 1 bathroom, Sleeps 6 Summer, 4 Winter

We have a nice cottage about 50 ft from Fowler River, a clear mountain stream which cascades over rapids and a small waterfall. The backyard, next to the river, has a picnic table, lawn furniture, and a campfire pit. There are three bedrooms, one with a full bed, one with two twin beds, and one with a full bed in an unheated, unattached building. It sleeps about 6 in the summer, 4 in the winter. It is winterized with good insulation and gas heat (except for unheated bedroom in unattached building). The cottage is about 600 square feet plus the unheated bedroom, and is a very nice space to be in. The main living space is an L-shaped open area with the kitchen next to the dining room/living room. A small wood stove with a glass front is nice for evening fires. Nearby there is hiking at Mount Cardigan and the White Mountains, and skiing at Tenney and Ragged Mountains Cyberrentals Prop # 136640 across street sleeps 12; together they sleep up to 20.

Mount Cardigan is a few miles up the road (follow the signs) and is a great day hike. There is an AMC lodge at the base, from which there are many trails up the mountain, the bald top of which is great for 360-degree panoramic views of the surrounding hills and the White Mountains. Welton Falls, a mile or two upstream on Fowler River, is a chasm cut by the river followed by a nice set of rapids and falls where you can hang out on the rocks with your toes in the water. Swimming in the backyard, at Welton Falls, or at Wellington State Park on Newfound Lake, which also offers boating and fishing, with public access for boat trailers. Easydrive to the White Mountains, do a day hike, and return to the camp the same day (you can see Mount Washington from Mount Cardigan). Ride the Mount Washington cog railway and see the Basin and the Flume (a must see). Skiing at Ragged Mtn (14 miles west) and Tenney Mtn (12 miles north). Cross country at Mt Cardigan run by AMC (2 miles away)

Notes: This is simple a country cottage good for getting away from it all. In the heated cottage one bedroom has a double bed, and one bedroom has two single beds. A third bedroom in an unattached building has a double bed, but is unheated (good for late spring, summer and early fall). So it sleeps about 6 in the summer, about 4 in the winter. Water from the well is good but not good-tasting. Bottled water is recommended for drinking. A nearby spring provides free good-tasting water. It has a fully equipped kitchen with gas range and oven, coffee maker, toaster, microwave, refrigerator, pots and pans, cooking and eating utensils, dinnerware, glasses, coffee mugs, etc. Telephone has local service only (bring a phone card for long distance; cell phone reception is poor to non-existent). There is a picnic table, lawn furniture and campfire pit in the backyard, right on the banks of Fowler River, a cold mountain stream. Plenty of free firewood for the campfire pit and the indoor fireplace.

What a nice camp!

Dale & Linda Delaware
Review Submitted: July 1, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2008
This cozy cottage offered exactly the seclusion we were looking for. We didn't want to stay "on the lake" and the waterfall right in the back yard provided an oustanding scene. The whole rear of the sitting area ia essentially one big widow, we spent hours there just reading and looking at the waterfall.
There is also a nice sitting area outside next to the falls with a fire ring. Unfortualtely is was a rainy period and we only got to sit out there once, but it was quite pleasant. We enjoyed watching an american merganzer (a type of diving fish eating duck) working the pools below the falls.
The cabin itself was fully outfitted and very clean. It's just rustic enough to fit in to the surrondings. If you need something that looks like it was built yesterday at considerable expense, with a jacuzzi tub and granite countertops, this cabin is not for you. It's secluded, so you'll need to travel towards town to use your cell phone or get the internet, which was fine with us.
There is a lot to see and do in the surronding area. The Castle in the Clouds, Ruggles Mine, and the New Hampshire Boat Mueseum were all wonderful.
We would definately repeate!
Owner's Response: Dale and Linda's review is a very good description of the cottage and what it does and does not offer. It's secluded enough for a private and quiet and stay, without being too far away from civilization. The waterfall has a natural, peaceful sound, like listening to ocean waves breaking. I'm sorry rain kept them from enjoying a campfire more than once, but in cooler weather there is a fireplace inside, and plenty of firewood.

It's a great place for one or two couples or a small family. It is not a place for a large group. If you want amenities such as video games, the internet or a pool, this would not be the right place for you. It does have cable TV and local phone service. The cottage is a great place to go when you want to get out into the country, away from the commercialized vacation areas such as Lake Winnipesaukee.

Absolutely amazing

sjane1327 Hackensack, NJ
Review Submitted: October 8, 2008 Date of Stay: October 2008
My husband and I wanted to get away from the city, see fall colors and enjoy some peace and quiet, and this place offered that and so much more! We arrived at night (not recommended, the area can be difficult to navigate in the dark), and were tired after a long drive so just went to bed. The next morning we were so pleasantly surprised by the waterfalls right outside the window! We couldn't have asked for more from the cottage; the entire place was spotless and beautifully kept and the kitchen had everything we needed. It was pretty cold at night, and we enjoyed hanging out with a bonfire in the evening and then heading indoors and lighting up the wood stove to heat up the cottage. The fall colors were amazing, and we took a drive up to the White Mountains (less than an hour, and there are a lot of hiking trails for those who like to get out and do some walking), Shaker Village (30-45 mins), and many other towns in the area (Weirs Beach, 15 mins; Bristol, 5 mins) for shopping. While we saw a lot of nice places, staying somewhere quiet and not so crammed was a definite plus. We seemed to be lucky and have cell service, and Richard was really nice and helped us out with directions when we took a wrong turn getting to the cottage. We can't wait to come back next fall or during the summer!

Fun and Relaxing

Marty & Leslie Lebanon, NH
Review Submitted: August 13, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
My boyfriend and I stayed at the cabin 8/1 through 8/10. We were very impressed when we arrived at how neat and clean the cabin was. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you would need to cook, which we did quite often. The view from the living room overlooking the stream was beautiful. The sound of the constant running water was so relaxing and peaceful and of course sitting in the backyard with a fire at night was quite romantic. Unfortunately for us the weather did not permit us to enjoy Newfound Lake so instead we took day trips and explored other areas. Lake Winnipesaukee is fairly close by so families with young children might want to consider going there for a nice day trip. The grocery store, farmer's market, dining out and even video rentals for rainy days is only 5 miles or so away and very convenient. The owner Richard was a pleasure to deal with and very informative prior to our stay. We both loved the cabin and location and look forward to renting from Richard again next year.

Great Rental

Mom2 Leominster
Review Submitted: July 29, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
My family stayed in this rental from July 20-July25 2008. The cottage was very clean and having a full kitchen came in handy with 2 young boys. We saved a ton of money making dinners there and not eating out every day. The yard with the fire pit next to the river was very relaxing. My boys had fun just playing out back by the river. It was close to most of the attractions we went to see. I would recommend this rental to anyone planning on staying in the area. I will definitely stay again.
