Family\/pet friendly non-smoking chalet with private dock and waterfront.
About this chalet rental
Nestled in Madison, this charming chalet for £276 per night is a great choice for your next break. Looking for a peaceful, quiet, private vacation where you can relax? Come stay at our cabin on a private cove of Pea Porridge Pond! Our Rental fee INCLUDES all linens AND basic cleaning charge. Your family dogs are welcome! Just pack your cooler and clothes - we’ve got the rest covered! Located in Pea Porridge Association just outside the Village of Eidelweiss, our home is in a small quiet neighborhood on big Pea Porridge Pond. With more privacy than most areas, our neighborhood has several year round residents, but with enough distance that you really cannot see their homes, so you can enjoy the feeling of seclusion. Just a short walk out the back door, you will cross over Ragged Cove Rd, a private dead end right of way and walk down the hill to access our private dock and waterfront. We have 50 feet of private frontage on Pea Porridge Pond. You can fish from the dock, step down the water stairs into the water where clean water and sandy bottom are waiting for you. We have a four kayaks, two canoes, assorted life jackets, and different tubes/floating devices available for use to enjoy the water. Fishing poles are ready to go. At night, watch the sunset over Moat Mountain while you enjoy a waterside campfire. Have we mentioned- dogs welcome! Our favorite guests are families that have that special furry friend who loves to tag along with you! From dog bowls and treats, to dog towels and leashes, we want your pet to feel welcome. And since our waterfront is private, you don’t have to worry about bringing your dog to a beach! Our 3 bedroom home, has one first floor bedroom with king size bed, 4 piece bathroom, galley style kitchen, open dining/living room with gas fireplace, comfortable deck at back of house. Two upstairs bedrooms, one with king bed and daybed, and other with two twin beds and sofa that pulls out to a full size. We do not charge a separate cleaning fee and provide all linens. All bedding (sheets, blankets, comforters), towels (bath and beach), sofa covers and even thee shower curtain are removed between guests to be safely laundered. The kitchen is stocked with what you need. An assortment of seasonings and spices, flour, sugar, coffee, tea are stocked. Paper goods are also provided. We’ve tried to make sure you have what you will need - assorted pots and pans, plenty of dishes and glasses, muffin tins, electric griddle, crockpot, waffle maker, blender too. First floor has air-conditioning, though you will rarely need it in the White Mountains. We also have fans available to enjoy the fresh air. Large deck on rear of home with gas grill. Kitchen with dishwasher, island with seating. Wi-fi works throughout. At night, enjoy a campfire and s'mores from the backyard - the wood pile is stacked and waiting. A projector is available to connect to your laptop to enjoy an outdoor movie. We also have horseshoes and corn hole boards for family game time. In the winter, you can skate on the pond - our hockey net and pond hockey goal and assorted sticks are in the garage. Or enjoy some down time streaming a movie in front of the gas fireplace inside. For skiers - Cranmore and King Pine are within 12 miles drive for skiing and tubing, with other major ski mountains within a short distance . Bookings are Saturday to Saturday, check-in after 3pm, check-out by 11am. Please note - our home and property is for non-smoking guests. No smoking/vaping allowed indoors or outdoors.

My family (8 of us total) had the best vacation here. Everything was exactly as described in the listing and all the reviews talking about the cleanliness are spot on. We loved it so much I immediately contacted the owner to book for next summer! From canoeing, kayaking, paddle boating, and just floating in the water, this place had everything you could possibly need. My kids loved jumping in the canoe every morning and searching for turtles. There was great fishing right off the dock and my 7 year old caught a large hornpout one night! The inside was fully stocked with everything you could need including towels for the whole family (beach and shower) as well as many other amenities. It was so nice to not have to think of every little thing while packing. Needless to say, we can’t wait to go back!

Very clean house, with more provided then any other house we had stayed at. Beach is a short walk but private and nice sandy bit for the kids. Upstairs beadrooms were GREAT for the kids.

Had a great time. Many amenities we didn’t expect. Games and water floats plus outside games and canoes and kayaks. Can’t mention it all.

We just arrived home after a week here and had a GREAT time, we spent every sunny day out on the lake with the canoe, kayaks and we even brought our paddleboard to glide around on ... The house itself is clean, homey and filled with household essentials (ie: sugar, spices, soaps, paper towels, TP, ) things you hate stocking up on for just one week..so it was very convenient! Every time I turned around I caught myself saying "oh wait, they have it..."... The house is also set in a great location ...a little secluded type "neighborhood" but still just 15-20 minutes from shops, markets, restaurants, etc.... We were doing so much during the day that by the time night rolled around to enjoy the fire pits we were too pooped! finally the last night me and my husband had a nice fire in the firepit by the lake to cap it all off. Hoping we make it back in the future! Thanks for living up to the description and previous reviews!

We had a great family vacation. The house was extremely clean, comfortable and everything you could possibly need was provided. The yard was well kept and the beach and two fire pits were a lot of fun. We enjoyed watching a movie on the outside projector by the fire. The homeowners were extremely responsive and helpful. We hope to return next summer!

VRBO pics don’t do this property justice! House was super clean and we were provided with all clean, nice linens and towels. Kitchen had all the necessary items and then some! Beds were super comfortable. Outside grounds were STUNNING! Grounds are well taken care of and decorated beautifully . So much room! I was nervous about staying on a “pond” and what the quality would be but this is literally a diamond in the rough. Beautiful, clean, quiet lake with views a gorgeous sunset. Couldn’t have had a better time. So thankful to have stumbled upon this beauty and hoping to be back again next year ! My husband and I, three teens and two Golden Retrievers had an absolutely FABULOUS time. Thank you!

We had an fabulous week. The house was very clean and supplied everything we could have possibly needed to make our stay comfortable and relaxing. The beach area is great. Amazing view. Quiet and private. We swam, fished, and boated! Friendly neighbors. Close enough to plenty of activities as well.

Pond Fun!
The owners have thought of everything. The cottage was clean and supplied with everything even a box “did you forget something? It may be in here” and it was! Quick walk down to the water for lots of fishing, kayaking and some swimming. Cozy home with comfortable beds.

This is our 3rd year staying here and we are never disappointed! The house is great, the owners are always making upgrades and keep everything clean and up to date! We love all the kayaks, canoes and floats and spent the entire week in the water! They even have fishing poles and the kids enjoyed fishing off the dock!
We hope to return again next year!
Thank you!

Another Fantastic Week
This was our 4th time at the property, and we just love it here. Everything is clean, well stocked, and labeled. We enjoy the quiet, private beach and dock as well as the firepit and spacious deck. Plenty to do, or easy to do nothing!

We had a wonderful time at this place!
This place was perfect for our family trip! The house comfortably fit 8 people, and had everything we needed for cooking, hanging out and playing! The swimming was fun, the water clear, and had a sandy bottom just off the dock. It got a little mucky as it got deeper, but not enough to turn us away. Great family spot!

We were completely satisfied with the condition of this house as everything was very neat and clean. We were welcomed to the house with a gift bag smore kit with a note. Everything was labeled that needed labeling with clear instructions for what to do when opening and closing the property. There were plenty of kayaks, canoes and a pedal boat on a clean private beach. The owners responded immediately to any questions we had. All of the beds were very comfortable. We would definitely consider renting this house again in the future. Lots to see and explore just 20-30 minutes away.

Such a great place
Owners are very helpful and have this place set up top notch. The house is fully equipped with everything. We laughed...even all the board games had all the pieces!! The outdoors and lake set up were perfect. Kids and adults loved the canoes and kayaks. Firepits and movie screen were clutch. Our dog loved the area and the closed off deck was super helpful. Jen and Ed were on top of any questions you had. Looking forward to coming back!!
PS The guest books is a pretty funny read....

Another Fantastic Stay at Das Hauschen
We certainly appreciated the private lake access this week! We had another wonderful stay.

The house was perfect for our 4 person family. The kitchen was one of the best stocked with pots, pans and utensils that I have ever rented - very efficient. But the real reason to come here is the outdoors. A great deck we used for many meals, and the access to the water. The waterfront is just out the back yard and there is access to plenty of watercraft (kayaks, canoes, floats, paddleboat). Pea Porridge Pond is great for swimming and kayaking as there are no motorized boats allowed - just a very gorgeous, relaxing vacation. And it's only a short trip to town for provisions, shopping and restaurants. A great stay and the owners were great and quick to respond to any questions we had. Highly recommended.

A Little Piece of Heaven
This is our second year here and again we were not disappointed. We truly love all that the house and area have to offer. The house is well equipped with everything you need and super clean. Right when we walked in all you could smell was "clean"! We love love the pond and the floats and kayaks. The kids fished and almost caught the "big one" LOL.
We will be back. Its definitely a favorite for our family.
The owners are great!

Nice vacation in Madison
This Madison rental is very well set up with comfortable beds (AC was used!) and carefully set up rooms. Jen & Ed take great pride in their home, deck , dock area and yard as everything you might need to have a nice stay is provided.
While most renters might not even notice the multiple surveillance cameras located outside on the house and trees, we felt uncomfortable with them and thought that we should have been notified in advance. We understand that security could work for us too and Vbro is ok with them, but we do wish that we were told.
Everything else was wonderful.
PS Our granddaughter was excited to befriend “ava” cado, her new water float buddy! Just bought one😎� She loved the lights outside and playing with her 2 “hamster” friends. Thank you.

Idyllic Location
We had a great week at this chalet on Pea Porridge Pond. The property felt private and was well equipped with everything one would need for cooking and water activities. Everything was well maintained and clean. We enjoyed kayaking around the pond and swimming in the clean water (one of the cleanest ponds we have visited). Jen provided us with excellent instructions and was very responsive to questions. On rainy days it was very convenient to get to hiking trails and shopping outlets. Our dogs also enjoyed themselves. The deck at the back is conveniently gated so we didn't have to worry about the dogs running off. We highly recommend this property and will definitely want to return.

Hidden gem!
We LOVED our vacation at Pea Porridge Pond. The kids loved fishing, spotting turtles, kayaking, canoeing and paddle boating. The house is perfect and has everything you could ever want. We want to buy a house on the pond!

Lovely
We had a lovely time at the cabin! House was very well stocked and clean. Beautiful water, lots of toys and boats to use - the kids even swam in the pond which was surprisingly comfortable for September! Jen was very responsive and easy to communicate with. Would absolutely stay again if we are in the area!

We love this house and especially the lakefront beach area. There is almost anything you could think of, from a great deck, 2 well maintained fire pits and even horse shoes! The owners are extremely responsive to all questions, which is appreciated. We can't wait to return!

Great house!
This house is very well equipped with all the comforts of home! The owners really have thought of everything. Being an experienced renter I know that we need to bring a lot of our own pots/pans and dishes. This house had everything and then some!
The lake was just down a little path from the house which lights up at night!
We all enjoyed the floats and kayaks!
Overall great week!

Great week in a great home
House was better than photos and just about anything needed was onsite. Check in process was extremely easy, just enter the code for the door. Pond is clean and water refreshing with kayaks, canoe, floats, paddle boat and life vests provided. Great fire pits for relaxing and making s’mores! Easy drive to North Conway and many good restaurants. Jennifer is very quick to respond to questions and reminds you of items left behind. Will definitely be coming back.

Beautiful Vacation
The best part of the property for our family is the private property access to the pond. Beautiful views all day with choices of kayaking, canoeing or paddle boating and night time fires to keep warm while listening to the frogs & loons. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking most of our meals. The back porch was great for the dogs because it is enclosed with a locked gate. Thank you for the use of this fabulous vacation property. Look forward to next year.

Great cabin with wonderful lake access
We had spent a great two weeks at the lake front cabin. The property was very clean and the owners responded quickly to any questions. It was really nice having the kayaks, canoes and paddle boat. The dogs really enjoyed swimming every day. The property could not have been better. Thanks again for sharing your vacation home.

Great family fun!
We’ve been visiting this property for 4 years! Love it’s charm and the privacy we have. We will be back next year. The only negative is the tub and shower needs to be repaired or replaced and bureaus provided for clothing storage other than those two things this property is beautiful and relaxing. Quiet non motor lake is happy fishing for the little and big kids.
