Perfect retreat for peace and quiet

Sportsman's Pond and Blueberry Cottage provided the ideal location for disconnecting from the noise and busyness of every day life. The pond was beautifully serene, without outboard motors, jet skis, etc. The fall colors were gorgeous. The hosts provided every sort of watercraft one might want. I kayaked everyday exploring the shoreline and watching for birds. The cottage was well equipped, the bed was comfortable and an assortment of chairs and couches were available for lounging, viewing the lake and simply reading or napping. There was plenty of hot water. Floor heaters were provided to counter the fall temperatures. Bottled water was in ample supply for those who prefer a non-mineral taste. We returned home refreshed, relaxed and revitalized.

Perfect lake getaway!

Blueberry Cottage is the perfect place to unwind by the lake. The cottage was well stocked and equipped with everything you could possibly need. So much to do right on the property. We enjoyed the kayaks, canoe and fishing right off the private dock. We enjoyed bonfires every night and really appreciated having firewood there and ready to use. We will surely be back!

The scenery and ambiance of the property won us over right away. Slept on the veranda with the windows open, listening to the wildlife and waking to the views of the lake. Was a great place, sorry it was so chilly in the mornings…can’t do much about the weather :)

A touch of Serenity

Linda was wonderful in her review of the property and was very accommodating in all aspects of our stay. The cottage was well equipped and very comfortable including the mattress. We enjoyed the lake and a little fishing. The area is very nice and we did some exploring. It was very quiet and we rarely even saw anyone while we were on the lake. We hope to return in the spring or summer. Many thanks to Linda and Brad

We were looking for a private retreat in the NH woods

The description in Vrbo matched what we found & other than the rain we had a great time. We spent a good deal of our time out on the water in the provided kayaks,floats, motor boats & swimming. The water will appear brown but it is clear. It is this color because of the type of tree rooots that ring this very large pond that is only 10 ft deep. Lots of fish! We saw a bald eagle,heron,heard loons. Very private, never saw anyone else. Great basecamp for hiking, biking, going to restaurants. Several nearby towns have movies,libraries,groceries & laundromat. Limited shopping for gifts. We would go back!

A wonderful secluded gem

We stayed here 4 nights and loved it. We basically had the lake to ourselves the entire time, and we were there on labor day. If you're looking for fishing, kayaking, grilling, time in the woods, and relaxing ... it doesn't get better than this. Brad and Linda were wonderful hosts as well.

Second Visit in Three Months and We'll Be Back Again!

You won't meet lovelier hosts or stay at a more calm and peaceful place anywhere! Such a hidden gem of a spot. Just into New Hampshire, we didn't have to travel far from Mass, yet we got every good thing NH has to offer! The foliage was at its peak. It was BEAUTIFUL! We kayaked and rowboated. We campfired. We put cushions all over the dock and watched the sunset and then waited for wildlife to come out. We ate at Emma 321 and were delighted! We shopped at the Shed Barn Thrift Shop and the Dollar General and had a blast, meeting friendly and interesting people at every turn. This sweet little cabin has everything you need and more. We went in July, then October, and we can't wait for our next visit!!! 5 million thumbs up for this place and her wonderful and gracious hosts. :)

Wonderful Cabin

This is an extraordinary place to stay. Plenty of room for a couple like us and our dog. It Is very clean, well furnished, especially in the kitchen, has an excellent view of the lake, and is set in a beautiful rural landscape. We were provided with many boats to use. Our favorite was the large rowboat, which we could use to tour the lake whenever we wanted to. Our hosts lived nearby, but protected our privacy, yet were always available when we needed them. We strongly recommend this cabin for people who want a real country place with real privacy.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Brad and Linda were lovely, communicative hosts and provided plenty of information about the area, safety on the lake, and accommodations.
