Perkins Pond Cottage Vacation Rental - Sunapee, NH Your dog is welcome, too! At night, roast marshmallows in the Solo Stove fire pit (we provide the skewers!) while star-gazing. Need to get some work done?

Just 15-minutes from skiing and adventure sports at Mount Sunapee, and 1-hour to Okemo Mountain, Perkins Pond cottage is a waterfront retreat with everything you need for a relaxing family vacation at any time of year. Our cheerful and light-filled cottage was designed with family vacations in mind, from the bunk beds and board games to the well-organized kitchen and no-tears kids' shampoo. The ma

in floor features an open floor plan with a wall of windows so you can take in the fabulous lake views while you...

• Cook a family meal in the well-equipped kitchen with a gas range, dishwasher, full-size refrigerator, microwave, Keurig, kettle, and all the pots and pans you could possibly need.
• Netflix and chill in front of the smart TV under cozy throw blankets
• Plug your phone into the sound system and enjoy music through the in-ceiling speakers
• Eat and play board and card games at the dining table that seats 6 comfortably (with extra chairs available for 8 total guests)

OUTSIDE....
Open the glass doors to sip your morning coffee (or evening glass of wine) in the Adirondack chairs on the lakeside lawn and take in the stunning views of Perkins Pond and the neighboring hills. At the private dock you can go for a swim; fish for chain pickerel, bass, bluegill, and more; search for cute little salamanders in the shallows, and take a trip around Perkins Pond in our red canoe! A variety of life jackets are available. If you want to bring your own boat (powerboats are allowed, and water-skiing is fun!), the public boat ramp is just up the street. When it's time to unwind, stretch out on the outdoor sofa and enjoy the mountain breeze. The patio also features a charcoal grill and outdoor dining set for 6. BED & BATH....
At the end of the day, head upstairs where you'll find a full bath (bathtub/shower combo) and two spacious bedrooms. The light-filled master bedroom features large windows with beautiful water views, a queen bed with a Casper mattress, a ceiling fan, and black-out shades so you can sleep in. A window A/C is available in summertime. The master bedroom also boasts a desk with a USB charging station as well as a computer monitor, mouse, and keyboard. There's also a nook with a washer and dryer in the master bedroom, and we provide you with laundry detergent, wool dryer balls, and a drying rack. What kid doesn't love bunk beds? Down the hall, the second bedroom is the perfect spot for kids with two bunk beds, plus a queen bed with a memory foam mattress. Two dressers offer ample room for storage, and the window has a blackout shade. FOR DOG OWNERS:

We're dog owners, and we know how tough it is to find a nice vacation rental that welcomes our furry friend. That's why your house-trained pooch is a welcomed guest at Perkins Pond Cottage. Food and water bowls, a crate big enough for large breeds, and a 20-ft in-ground lead are available for your pooch. Your dog must be disclosed in your booking request, and there is a $50 fee per pet to cover the extra cleaning costs (because shed happens!). This will be billed as a separate charge through Airbnb. A NOTE ABOUT GROUP SIZE:
6 adults are permitted because adults are not allowed on the top bunks. If you're a family with children, we do have space for 8. Please describe the number of people when booking - many thanks! You must be at least 25 years old to rent. Absolutely no parties, and no smoking on the property. The use of fireworks is not permitted. Please respect the neighbors and leave our home in the great condition you found it.

Who loves a good before and after?? 🙋‍♀️ The cottage’s main bathroom got a full gut job to make it bigger, brighter, and warmer (hooray for a heated fan!) and I’m obsessed with the result - especially the fish scale tile! Keep swiping to see tue before photos.

When the local bald eagle is jealous of your ice fishing success... 🦅

Although we normally “catch and release,” our son thought the eagle had been so patient that he tossed his final chain pickerel of the day out to it, and we had the privilege of an up-close encounter! (The photos make the eagle look closer to our son than it really was - it was probably 20-30ft away.)

I wouldn’t make a habit out of feeding the eagle since it knows how to hunt on its own, but this one time was pretty spectacular.

It’s a perfect winter day here on Perkins Pond! ❄️ The ice off our dock is around 15” thick, so it’s been a “busy” morning with snow mobiles, cross-country skiers, and ice fishing. The cottage mascot, Sadie, loves romping around through the snow!

We have great mid-week rates, so come on up with your pooch, avoid the lift lines, and enjoy a winter wonderland!

What's better than experiencing a sunset like this, on the dock, sipping a glass of wine? Not much, that's for sure. Of the many Perkins Pond sunsets I've captured, this photo is by far my favorite because it shows how perfectly peaceful our little lake is.

Love taking unique paths? 🌲 The Philbrick-Cricenti Bog Trail is a short drive from the cottage with winding boardwalks through (you guessed it!) a bog. Our kids (ages 9 and 11) kept their eyes open for interesting mushrooms, frogs, and unique plants. At just 1 mile, the trail is a quick and easy way to get a bit of exercise after brunch and enjoy the fall foliage!

Covered bridges are classic New England, and Sunapee has its very own little bridge over the Sugar River, right across from Sunapee Harbor. 🍁🍂

Take a stroll along the walkway, and be sure to bring a fishing rod to try to catch trout! 🎣 There's ample public parking right by the bridge. This pretty spot is about an 8-min drive from the cottage.

Can't escape work, but desperately need to escape your office - even if it's your home office? 💻
Stop making excuses like "Oh, I hate working on my little laptop's monitor and tiny keyboard!" because 𝘸𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥!

We bought Perkins Pond Cottage in the middle of the pandemic when both of us were working at home and our kids were remote learning. After straining our eyes looking at our laptops all day and then painting all night (so much painting!), we needed a better solution.

That's why we created this office nook in the master bedroom with a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and adjustable-height desk chair to make working from the lake much more comfortable.

What are you waiting for? Sneak in a quick trip this month at great prices, or look ahead to ski season! Just click on the link in our bio to check our availability and book your getaway. ☝️

Big changes coming to the main bathroom at the cottage! Can you tell I've got a bit of a 🐟🎣 theme going on?

The 2nd-floor bathroom is a challenging space with a tiny footprint and angled ceiling (swipe for more pics).

Next month, the bathroom will be gutted, the old tub/shower replaced with a walk-in shower, and the room expanded a bit by taking some space from the hallway and laundry nook.

While we can't do anything about the angled ceiling, all the changes we've planned will make the bathroom more comfortable to use.

Inexpensive subway tile for the shower walls and penny tile for the shower floors make it possible to splurge a little on the accent tile for a pop of color (all three from and the gray floor tile is from ). Plus, I'd love to add some accent wallpaper to tie it all together and am eyeing a cool design from .

What do you think???
