Little Bear Cottage is described as a perfect, relaxing getaway that consistently meets guests’ needs and offers a cozy, comfortable stay for couples and families alike. Guests frequently praise the comfortable beds, inviting living spaces, screened porch, fireplace, and thoughtful touches that make the cottage feel special and well equipped. The cottage is repeatedly noted as very clean, well kept, and more spacious than expected. Its peaceful, private waterfront setting is a standout, with easy access to the pond while still being conveniently close to nearby towns, shops, restaurants, and outdoor attractions. Guests especially love the beautiful lake and mountain views, quiet surroundings, wildlife, and memorable sunsets from the porch and yard. The private beach, dock, fire pit, and repeatedly enjoyed kayaks and canoe add to the experience, and guests also appreciated that the wifi worked well. Read more

OVERVIEW

Lakefront cottage on Big Pea Porridge Pond w/ private dock, beach, kayaks, canoe

Spend a quintessential New Hampshire summer at this cozy, two-bedroom cottage on the shores of Big Pea Porridge Pond, a lakefront retreat that comes with a private dock, a small private beach, as well as a canoe and kayaks to take out on the water whenever you please. This home is nestled among trees that become a spray of color each autumn, with gorgeous views of the lake that you can enjoy from the large screened porch, the back deck, and the picnic table in the yard. You'll be able to spend your days swimming, boating, playing horseshoes, and flipping burgers on the grill outside. As for the evening hours, you can roast marshmallows around the seasonal firepit, mix cocktails at the tiki bar in the screened porch, and curl up in front of the two TVs - one Smart TV and one flatscreen with a Roku - for a night of your favorite movies and shows.

What's nearby:

This lakefront home sits on the southern shore of Big Pea Porridge Pond in Eidelweiss Village, a community with five association beaches (including Thusis Beach just down the road). When you're not exploring Little, Middle, and Big Pea Porridge Pond by kayak, you'll be less than five miles south of downtown Conway, where you can meet up with the iconic Kancamagus Highway for a spectacular foliage drive in autumn. If you're visiting in winter, you'll have your choice of nearby ski slopes, including King Pine (eight miles south), Cranmore (11 miles north), and Attitash (18 miles northwest). You'll also be a few minutes' drive from the Conway Scenic Railroad and a wealth of tax-free outlet shopping in Conway and North Conway.
