About this property

Imagine yourself driving down a quite road in the country. Tall white birches and white pines providing cool shade while the warm sun glows above. Imagine pulling up to a quaint home that sits quietly upon Goose Pond Lake. The smell of a warm fireplace waffles in the air. That's what you will find as you pull into the driveway of this cozy but large waterfront home. With Goose Pond lake just a few steps from the back door no matter the season you will truly be captivated by its beauty.
Note: Goose Pond is a man-made lake. At the southern end of the lake, 3 miles from my home, is a dam that was constructed in 1918. It needs to be rebuilt and the State of New Hampshire has lowered the lake by more than 22 feet. Will be that way throughout 2024. Only a small stream 100 yards from the house will be available this summer. Water activities must be done in nearby lakes.
The home, and the area, still has much to offer and still is a great vacation venue........as previous guests comments indicate.

Adorable house on the lake

We rented this house last minute and everything was ready for us. The owner was in contact with us and answered all of our questions. He was very clear about what to expect and how to get in. It has the coolest old fashioned decorations and is very cozy. Definitely recommend 👌

Labor Day Weekend 2023

Great weekend spent with family. House was large enough for our family of 5 and 2 dogs with room to spare. Fishing was good for August. Enjoyed my morning paddle in the kayak and kids used other boats for fishing and exploring the lake. Dogs loved jumping off the dock and the shallow water area.

Quiet cabin on a quiet lake

Spacious cabin with a great view of the lake from the living room and the large back deck, privacy from neighbors, dock to swim off of and not a lot of boat traffic. Very peaceful and relaxing.

Relaxing vacation

This was our 3rd summer staying at Bob's cottage, we look forward to it every year. We love just spending time on the deck and on the water using the canoe, kayaks, fishing and watching the wildlife. There was a bald eagle this year! The house has everything you could possibly need and Bob is just a text away if you have any questions. If you need to leave the lake there is plenty of hiking, shopping and restaurants nearby. My dog thinks it's heaven on earth and I agree!

About the host

Hosted by Robert Kersch

Potential renters for 2024. Goose Pond is a man-made lake over 3 miles in length. It has a dam at the southern end of the lake that was built in 1918. It needs to be rebuilt and, in order to do that, the State of New Hampshire has lowered the lake more than 22 feet. For the next year, there will only be a small stream 100 yards from the house. Thus, waterfront activities for the next year will not be available. Sorry 'bout that.
That said, the home is available for rental this year and guests can use nearby lakes for waterfront activities. Biking and hiking are still close at hand.
