Oh, that mountain!

Such a pleasant week was had by all - two adults and our two dogs. The house is immaculate; the yard big enough, and right on the water. Loved the blueberries for pancakes one morning, too. Hammock made my vacation - just lying there in the breeze and sun. Lilly's on the Pond restaurant right down the street; good food, scenic, reasonable prices. Close to Keene for additional sightseeing and restaurants. Lots of antiquing close by. Cathedral in the Pines, also in Rindge, is a must see with a marvelous view of Mount Monadnock in a deeply spiritual setting. Loved that this was so close to home!
(Wish the water were swimable; bacteria count was too high the week we were there.)
Owner's Response: To clarify the water condition, the NH DES issued an advisory for a few days following an unusual wet spell which combined with the Canadian Goose droppings, spawned a bacteria bloom in one section of Pearly Pond. Swimming was OK, but not recommended for pets as they could ingest the lake water and possibly suffer ill effects. Once the sunny weather returned, the bacteria count diminished from ultraviolet light exposure. The water quality is monitored by the State of NH periodically during the Summer months to ensure the safety of the recreational use of Pearly Pond.
