CHARMING FAMILY WATERFRONT COTTAGE
About this cottage rental
Looking for a quiet and updated cozy home surrounded by pines with a private beach that's also close to all the White Mountains and North Conway have to offer? A place where fresh air, sunlight, your private beach, and lake and mountain sports call to you and, mixed with area shopping and local attractions, there’s no better combination. Look no further! The Lakehouse in Eidelweiss Village on Little Pea Porridge Pond is for you! The heart of the summer is coming our way, but spring and fall always keep a bit of that summer flavor, whether it's the lake and a kayak ride or looking for the tree with the most foliage colors. Oh when that moon rises right over the property, it's almost like you're in a bit of heaven. Grab the book to see which planet that is! Shall we go fishing? Inside get a great night's sleep in either of the two bedrooms (kids love the bunkbeds) and wake up to a day filled with hiking, shopping, or just taking it easy. The canoe will take you downstream from Little Pea to Middle Pea. You might see a loon - keep your eyes open!! Fire up the grill for a tasty dinner and grab some warmth by the firepit in the evening.🔥Step into the screened porch for a cup of coffee or hot chocolate or head inside to the propane fireplace where some atmosphere will hit the spot. Cable and high-speed internet are available to complete your experience. Scrabble anyone? If hiking, trips down the Kancamagus, and other attractions are more your style, you'll find them all not far away. Boutique shops to name-brand outlets begin and end North Conway for those looking for a buy. North Conway has opened many new outlets this year and excellent restaurants abound. Have a look at North Conway's "Best Of" on the table for you . Your home away from home is waiting . There's a small playground just down the street or take a nice stroll. Plenty of room for your vehicle in the long, private driveway. Our guests always enjoy their experience. If you’re a long - term planner, book a week, two weeks, or more !! No better place to relax and smile. All seasons have their own allure - everyone likes their own beach and their own canoe! The mountains are everywhere! If you're an outdoor person, come to the Lakehouse where you'll look forward to the cozy cottage after a day of swimming, or hiking or shopping - Heck, activities abound ! Let’s get away from it all !! This cozy home is perfect for every season and we look forward to hosting you soon. Be sure to read the overview on the table with suggestions for activities. Send a text if you have a particular question or issue. We can't solve them all but we can sure try !! Plenty of watercraft and sand toys for everyone. We have our own dock and there is a dock out a ways on the beach beside us. See the pictures on the listing, although they don't do the Lakehouse justice. See you soon !

My husband and I were looking for a cozy get away by a lake to enjoy the fall colors. We found the perfect place. The cabin was inviting and cozy. Judi was a great host and communicated very well. We'd definitely recommend this place.

This spot is perfectly located near the White Mountains. We loved swimming and paddling right from our own private beach. We will definitely be renting here again.

Spent a wonderful week in this adorable lakeside cottage! The home is so cute, cozy and very well-appointed. You can tell owner Judi spends time there and loves it. Traveled with our two small boys (6 and 2) and they loved every minute: tons of beach toys, kayaks and floaties on the family-friendly pond. Loved that theres no motorized boats on pond, so it's quiet and safe. Lots of fish, frogs and turtles for kids to find! Location is close to hikes and town of Conway for shopping, food and activities. Judi is responsive and kind and helpful.
Would stay here again in a minute. Highly recommend!!

My family and I had a wonderful time at this lovely lake home that had everything we needed. Our 2&1/2 year old grandson had the time of his life playing in the water, boating with his parents, and making sandcastles with his Papa. We were close to North Conway and Storyland which was so convenient. The lake was beautiful and we spent a lot of time in the water with the weather being so hot and humid. Having the paddle boat, canoe, and kayaks available to us was go great and a fun adventure. The fire pit was also fun to sit around at night. Judi, the owner, was very hospitable and left us a welcoming gift which was so thoughtful. We loved every minute of our vacation and would definitely rent this property again.

We had a great time as a family at Judi’s house! The location was perfect for us. The kids loved the beach. The beach was really nice it was even raked when we got there. The kids loved all the toys. The pond was great clean and warm great for paddle boarding with the kids. There were kayaks there and even a kid one our 6 yr old had a blast with it. House was stocked with everything it is a small house which we knew. But we spent all our time on the beach and in the screened porch in the evenings. Judi was great instantly responded to any question and left treats for the kids and adults! We hope to come back next summer!

Perfect Family Getaway
It doesn’t get much better than waking up on the water and enjoying a cup of coffee while Loki g out at the great view. . We spent most of our days on the water boating or swimming to the floating dock. Location is very close to numerous hikes and scenic views. This is our second year and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

Great location
We had a wonderful stay! Location was perfect, right on the water but close enough to Conway to hop into town for daily activities. Communication was great and the house was clean. We arrived to find a bottle of wine and some snacks for the kiddos! It was great having “all the water toys” my 5 year old was even able to use one of the kayaks by himself! It had everything we needed. Plenty of towels, the kitchen, although on the small side, was well stocked and the railings for the bunk beds worked perfectly for our small children. We used the grill mostly but did pop in a pizza (we brought our own pizza pan), all worked well! We did have a visitor get into our trash, so just be prepared that you might see a bear. Overall, we had a great stay and would rent again!

Summer vacation
This was our second time staying at this property for a summer vacation, it is wonderful!! Everything you need for a lake house vacation. Beautiful sandy beach, canoe and kayak to use, great location for family day trips. Judy is great, checking in to make sure we had what we needed, easy to get a hold of. Would highly recommend! Hope to go back next year!

Our stay at Judi’s house in Eidelweiss Village was terrific. It was very clean and well maintained. The proximity to Conway/North Conway/Kangamangus Hwy is ideal. Our kids loved the beach and gradual descent into the water. Also the kayaks/canoe/paddle boat provided relaxing cruises around the pond.

We enjoyed our stay during school vacation week. The teens skied at Attitash which was about 30 minutes away. It was a very clean property and was well stocked with everything that we needed. We would definitely considering renting this property again.

Cozy lake cabin
My family and I had a great stay here! Kids loved the lake almost more than anything else that we did/saw during our trip. Everything we needed to stay was on hand. Beautiful area for sure!!

This is our second year and love it more each time. Has everything you need, so just basically need to pack clothes and beach towels. I love that it has sand toys, beach chairs, water floats, cones, paddle boat and kayaks. They even had kayaks small enough for my kids to use! Abuts the one of the small community beaches and walking distance to a small playground.

Second time! Might make this a habit!
Absolutely love this cabin! The peacefulness of the lake is the best feature. Instant relaxation. We have stayed in many properties in Eidelweiss Village over the last 20 years and this is by far our favorite. It is a quaint cabin but fully modern inside, no musty cabin smell! Feels like a B&B inside. Comfortable beds, thick towels, all you need to cook or grill. Judith is a wonderful host too, so easy to communicate with and helpful too. I highly recommend this property and will come back again!

A great place to stay
My sister and I spent a week at this lovely cottage in August, and we had a great time. It was the perfect size for us and had all of the amenities that were listed online, and more. A bottle of wine and cookies were left for us on the kitchen table, and the pantries were very well stocked too!
We had rain for the first couple of days, but did some shopping in North Conway and used the screened porch to read and play games. When the sun came out we couldn't get enough of the water and our own private beach! We love to swim, and were a little concerned that the sand leading into the water would quickly turn to mush before it got deep enough to swim, but that wasn't the case at all. It was clear and sandy until well over our heads - perfect swimming! There is a public beach next door but there are trees in between the beach and the cottage. We had no issues with the noise and had no problem reading or napping on our beach. In addition to the boats that were provided, there were a lot of water toys too. There are noodles, inner tubes, small beach chairs for the little ones, surf boards - it really was impressive. The fire pit on the beach was great, and there were plenty of comfortable outdoor chairs to sit on.
The cottage itself was very clean and had all of the appliances, dishes, etc. that we needed. The kitchen counter is very small, but you can see that in the pictures that are provided so it wasn't a surprise. We didn't need a dishwasher for just the two of us, but it would have been nice to have a dish drainer. My only other complaint was the firmness of the beds. My sister and I are in our mid-50's and found both the double bed and bunk beds to be pretty uncomfortable. This would not deter us from returning though - there was plenty of time to nap during the day!
All in all we really loved it here and would love to visit again.

wonderful waterfront property, perfect for kids!
This property was great - especially for a family with young children! It was stocked with everything we needed for my 4 year old and us- comfy adult and kid beach chairs and fire pit, great sand and water toys, fluffy towels and comfortable beds. It was wonderful to sit in the screened in porch for dinner and look down at the lake.
The property is next door to the public beach so it could be pretty loud between 10 am and 5pm. This wasn't an issue for us as we get up at 6am and I assume most families with young children do.
Parents: There's no tub, only a shower. Fortunately, the shower was large enough for me to bring my child in with me.
My only (tiny) complaints: I wrongly assumed there was central AC, but it was just a window unit in the front room. There was a portable fan, but next time I'll bring one so we can put one in both bedrooms. The kitchen was pretty tiny making it tough to find space for drying dishes and the sink needed to be babied because food can't go down the drain. I would recommend that renters not plan on cooking elaborate meals. like I attempted! There is a grill that we used one night. Next year we will plan on making most meals grillable.
The owner was great to deal with ! I hope to return next summer!

Great Family Vacation Spot
The house is perfect for a family getaway- stocked with everything you need.
The location is great - short drives to Sherman Farm, Echo Lake and Lower Falls. The pond is wonderful for swimming and kayaking. The beach is perfect for younger children with a shallow entry - can not say enough good things.

This house was perfect for our trip to NH! Small, but very well stocked and extremely clean. The private beach, dock and water toys were amazing and our children enjoyed hours on the water. Host was lovely and responsive!

Second time staying, such a great place!
My wife, son and I returned to Judi's place earlier in the year for our second stay - we've been staying in Eidelweiss for years, and really enjoy this little cottage by the lake. It's the perfect place to hang out and let the kids enjoy themselves swimming, fishing, kayaking, or just floating around. Great views from the deck, and the place is very well stocked with all the misc. supplies you need. Excellent cottage overall, and Judi was a pleasure to deal with. We will definitely be back!

The cottage was cozy and served our needs for a vacation week in NH. Judi keeps the property exceptionally clean and the Eidelweiss neighborhood is nice and quiet. Good for walks around the ponds. Conveniently located to North Conway and all the attractions associated. Summer would probably be even nicer given the potential for swimming, etc in the pond.

Fantastic and Relaxing Fall Getaway
Judith’s place is wonderful! A perfect cabin in the perfect spot. We barely left all week because it had everything we needed! We were out on the canoe almost every day, had bonfires, cooked on the grill and read on the dock. The cabin itself was clean and well stocked! When we finally did leave, we headed up to the Kancamagus for a fall hike. It’s very well located, close to great trails as well as Conway and North Conway. We hope to come back again.

Beyond Expectations
We have been coming to Eidelweiss Village for years and wish we would have found this little piece of heaven before! The cabin was comfortable and cozy and extremely clean. It is beautifully decorated, bright, and modern. Everything you need is there, fully stocked kitchen, BBQ, outdoor recreational items as well. The view from your morning coffee is wonderful. We can't wait to book again!

The cottage was small, but very comfortable for two adults and well maintained. There were lots of amenities from kayaks, a canoe, games, water toys for children outdoor furniture etc. The kitchen was well equipped and, due to Covid, we prepared most of our meals at the cottage and enjoyed eating out on the deck, looking at the pond. The cottage literally has beds for 7 but I think any more than 3 adults or 2 adults and 2 small children would feel crowded. It has a lovely, sandy beach and lots of sand toys for children and is next to the public beach, so this would be a perfect place for a young family. It is located within an easy drive to North Conway and to many hiking trails. We are a couple in our 60's and were looking forward to a long weekend of light hiking, kayaking, swimming and just relaxing by the water, reading a good book. The pond that the cottage is located on is very small (50 yards across) and we could hear talking, laughter and music from the cottages across the pond, as well as from the public beach. Being Labor Day weekend, there were many people at the pond (10 young adults at one house across the pond, two families with little children at the cottage next to us) and the public beach was jammed with kids, groups of young adults with music, beer, etc. So much for laying by the water reading books! We did go on several wonderful kayak trips to the adjoining (larger) lake and took some great hikes. things quieted down at night and in the mornings, so we had no problems sleeping and enjoyed lovely breakfasts on the screened in porch. To be fair, the noise was not the fault of the cottage owners and it was much quieter on Friday and Tuesday. Otherwise, everything else was lovely - the weather was perfect and we had a great time.

Great space for kids!
We had an enjoyable stay at this lakeside cottage. Private sandy beach with sandy-bottom swimming area was perfect. There were toys, floats, boats, etc to keep all the kids amused too. Highly recommend.
