Private, quiet 4 bedroom home on east shore of pristine Thorndike Pond, facing Mt. Monadnock. Sleeps 8. Beautiful views, sunny waterfront. Thorndike is 1.5 miles long and a half mile wide, unparalleled for swimming, boating, fishing, and water skiing. 6 acre lot with dock and small beach on over 320 feet of waterfront. Main house is in the center of the lot, 100 yards from the water, with beautiful views of the pond and the mountain. Recently added new deck and 400 square foot screen porch - provides lots of additional room to eat (large dining table), read, relax, and enjoy the view. There is also a waterfront cabin which sleeps two in single beds. Direct TV, with DVD and VCR. Shop and sample the night life in Peterborough and Keene. Climb Mount Monadnock, the most hiked mountain in the world (less than 2 miles away).

Sample the night life in Peterborough and Keene (home of Keene State College, Antioch University, and Franklin Pierce University, 20 miles away). Climb Mount Monadnock, the most hiked mountain in the world (Monadnock State Park entrance less than 2 miles away across Thorndike Pond). On a clear day, you can see Boston from the summit. At 3,165 feet, it’s nearly 1,000 feet higher than any mountain peak within 30 miles. Dozens of trails. Golf at the Shattuck Golf Club (noted in Golf magazine’s 50 most difficult courses in the US, 18 holes, 1.4 miles away, at the south end of Thorndike), or in Keene at Bretwood Golf Course (36 holes).

Further details for this vacation house rental in Jaffrey, New Hampshire

More detail on the house and amenities: The ground floor of the main house features an open plan which includes the living room, dining room, and full kitchen (with dishwasher), opening out onto the screen porch and front deck. There is also a full bath and a laundry area. The main house sleeps 8 in four bedrooms. The waterfront cabin has a small living room, kitchen, bathroom, and front porch facing the beach and dock area. The cabin is very rustic, but it does have electricity and cold running water (no heat). There is a sink, countertop, blender & small refrigerator in the cabin kitchen, great for organizing drinks and hors d'oeuvres. The cabin is perfect for naps, and peaceful sleeping in the summer. There is a rowboat, a canoe, and a paddleboat for use by guests. There are two picnic tables and two hammocks in a shady pine grove at the beach. All beds in main house and cabin were purchased new 4 years ago, so none of those saggy, uncomfortable vacation home beds. There is also a ping pong table in the garage.

Wonderful New Hampshire Lake House

Eli-Jan Nanjing, China
Review Submitted: January 29, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2008
This was the ideal New Hampshire lake house for my clan. It is secluded and quiet and yet only a short drive from all the basics and also from Monadnock, some fine food, music, drama and arts. It is simple, but wonderfully well-equipped. (I only wish the phone worked a bit better and that there was a broad-band internet connection.) There are so many different, comfortable and useful areas that afford family and friends plenty of space and yet a feeling that everybody is all together. The whole feel of the place has the warm, casual comfort of your favorite old pair of jeans and yet there is also an ethereal beauty to the view from the porch through the trees to the shimmering lake and the mountain beyond it. Wild turkeys and deer visit; the light summer sounds and breezes refresh as you enjoy company on the spacious, screened-in porch. And the lake is always there calling. Down we go along the dirt path, out onto the sturdy dock, grand old Monadnock before us as we launch our canoe or plunge into the cool, pleasant water. I look forward to returning.

review New England
Review Submitted: August 19, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2008
This is a lovely house, plenty of room and very comfortable. Gardens are beautiful, house is well equipped. And the screened porch was a great plus, especially because it rained much of our stay. The house is set back quite a bit from the lake, which isn't clear in the description but that might be a good thing for families with small children who are concerned about safety. Works for teenagers as well because there is plenty of room for everyone to hang out, not necessarily in each others hair.
