The space

Enjoy the screened pavilion complete with hot tub, fire table, and comfy sofa. Enter this generously sized tiny house from the deck through large sliding doors and find the sunny wood walled living room and kitchen with vaulted ceiling and peaceful views over FarAway Pond.

The kitchen has induction top burners, a convection/microwave, crock pot and coffee and tea makers with a full sized refrigerator/freezer. The living room has a queen sofa bed and comfy arm chair and a rolling workstation can be added if you like. The bedroom/bath has an adjustable full sized bed with TV on facing wall with all the channels. The bathroom is a bright space ( separated from the bedroom by a folding screen) with new conventional plumbing and a Japanese soaking tub with bubble jets and a hand held shower. This cottage is best for a couple, single or guests with a small child

There are only 3 cottages along the lake shore. We group these cottages along one side of the pond so the maximum shoreline is protected, following guidelines set by our forest advisor. Each cottage has a private view, but as sound carries over water, you may hear other guests enjoying their deck, or accessing the trail around the pond. We have a team of dedicated groundskeepers and gardeners who keep everything tidy and you may see them about the place, watering and trimming.

Please note that the beach and beach pavilions with grill are there for your use please access the trail at the far end of the beach that goes all the way around the pond or through the meadow to the Dana forest Gold mine Trail. Please respect the privacy of the other cottages, including island and gazebo

PLEASE drive only on the gravel driveways and parking areas as the lawns and septic systems do not tolerate the weight of cars.

Enjoy two beach pavilions (may be shared with other guests in the other cottage) on our large sandy beach with fire pit and wood for a s'mores treat and a new gas grill for winter fun after exploring. Tables, chairs and chaise lounges, plus a volleyball/badminton net and sand toys for summer.

We respect your privacy but you may see the maintenance/landscaping rew around during your visit. Please note that while we do our very best to keep the grills, decks, dock and toys current, some wear should be expected. WE humbly request that you bring ANY and ALL issues with our grounds, grills, beach and trails to our attention as soon as you notice a problem. That way we can get to fixing it for you. 68 acres is a lot to keep track of and we really appreciate your help in staying on top of problems.

Walk or snowshoe the trails on our private estate or venture in to the adjacent 300 acre State Forest with miles of trails and even an old gold mine! This four-season home makes a great base for exploring the foliage in fall and hiking the White Mountains any time of year. In the winter there are numerous ski resorts all around the White Mountains including Cannon and Bretton Woods.

Guest access

The entire space is yours to enjoy! Miles of trails, a pure pond for fishing, swimming and paddling-kayaks and peddle boat provided in season and snowshoes and ice fishing rods for winter. Caretakers live on property and there is one other cottage, not visible from the Sun House, that may have other guests.

Other things to note

The entire pond is there for you you to enjoy and there are lovely trails to walk through the woods and meadows. Look for moose, bear, otter and our lovely ducks as they float around the pond. Table and chairs on the deck. There are trout in the pond as well, bring your fishing gear! Grill, pizza oven, and fire pit on adjacent beach in roofed pavilions.
