Charming Waterfront Log Cabin
Escape the daily grind at this unique & tranquil getaway. At the end of a quiet road, this vintage log cabin sits on a 150-acre pond with access to kayaks to explore the water at your leisure. Inside, the space features 2 bedrooms & a spacious loft. Listen to the sounds of nature by the fire pit, watch the sunset from the porch, paddle on the pond, or watch Netflix on our fiberoptic Wi-Fi. However you slice it, you'll leave The Pond Camp relaxed, rejuvenated, & ready to tackle whatever comes your way.
The space High vaulted ceilings greet you as you enter the cabin. Each room has been artfully appointed with modern furniture and decor to balance the rustic logs and natural outdoor setting. There are two bedrooms on the first floor and a loft above, each with a queen size bed.
The loft space has a small sitting area with a couch, a writing desk, and a chair overlooking the first floor living space, in addition to its queen bed. There is a small collection of children's toys in a basket and a pack-and-play behind the couch to ensure the littlest visitors have a great stay, too!
While the kitchen is small, it is well stocked with pots, pans, bakeware, and utensils to meet all your cooking needs. Use the Keurig or coffee maker to brew your morning cup and enjoy it from a rocking chair overlooking the pond as you get ready for the day. There is a collection of spices, olive oil, cooking spray, salt and pepper on hand to season your culinary creations. There is a second set of plastic dish-ware to make outdoor dining as simple as possible.
The Great Outdoors Grill outside using the propane grill and tools and enjoy at the picnic table overlooking the water.
Spend your days on the pond fishing, basking in the natural beauty of the water, and paddling using the canoe, kayaks and pedal boat.
The sun sets on the far side of the pond painting the water with hues of orange and red. Spend your nights around the fire pit listening to croaking frogs and the gentle lapping of the pond.
Get cozy inside and enjoy one of the many travel books. Despite being vintage, they will still inspire your next epic adventure. Play a board game. During the colder months there is a furnace to keep the camp toasty & warm.
If totally unplugging isn't your thing, sit back and enjoy Netflix streaming on the 43" inch smart TV and scroll at the same time with fiber optic Internet at 250 mbps.

Easy check in. Cabin and grounds could have been cleaned up more...charcoal grill was not cleaned out and not usable, floors not swept, inside and outside porch, shower and kitchen sink not cleaned well. We did enjoy the "serene" location and proximity to hiking opportunities. Overall a good experience

We loved this little house. Our favorite part was getting out on the water - on the island in the middle of the pond is a picnic table and fire pit! Kitchen and living spaces were just right for us. Everything we needed was provided, and breakfast on the porch is perfect.

Horrible
I booked this cabin for a weekend getaway with my kids, and I was extremely disappointed with the experience. On the day we were supposed to leave, the owner contacted me to cancel my booking. This was incredibly frustrating as I had already bought all the food for the three nights we planned to stay, and our clothes were packed. We were just hours away from leaving our house when she informed me that our booking was canceled because someone else had booked the same dates. She claimed it was a system error, but this did not help our situation.I had to scramble to find a last-minute rental because I didn't want to disappoint my kids. This caused a lot of unnecessary stress and ruined what was supposed to be a relaxing family getaway. I would not recommend this cabin to anyone due to the poor management and lack of reliability.

Quiet Stay on the Pond
We enjoyed our stay on Scott Pond. We spent a lot of time kayaking, boating, and fishing on the pond which was great. Nearby Mt. Monadnock was an awesome hike as well.
The upkeep of the cabin and yard is lacking. The cleaners are definitely not doing a thorough job. Seems like all the cabin gets is a light cleaning and the beds made.

This cabin was a great place to stay for a week. It's not to small but not to big either, just the right size. The property was on an end lot, located in a quiet area. Wildlife was great to see as well, along with a nice view of the sunrises and sunsets. Definitely recommend!

Don't do it.
THE GOOD:
Sitting on the porch in the evening or early morning is pleasant.
THE BAD:
We tried to use the oven; it did not work. Lydia offered to contact an oven repairman. We declined, I was not going to spend my short trip waiting for a repair on a short term rental appliance. So we made do without an oven.
GENERAL CONDITION OF CABIN:
Apparently no-one has cleaned it since it was built. Light housekeep had been done. I had a number of bugs appear in the bed. I think they were stink bugs.
A sofa was a Filthy, stained mess that looked as if they had picked it up from the side of the road. We covered it with a comforter from the upstairs bed.
IT would be nice if they replace the stinky, moldy shower curtain in the tiny stall shower.
I believe the cabin is being used by the owners to milk as much money from it as they can with no regard for renters.
Good reviews must be from friends and family. I would not knowingly pay a penny for this place. I would not stay here.
Althought it is located at the very end of a cute little pond. it is a mostly swampy area.
I would not recommend this cabin unless you are desperate.

Breath of fresh air (LITERALLY)
This cabin is so wonderful. The linens are exquisite and the beds are super comfortable. It is decorated so cute. There is everything you need! My favorite activity was sitting in the wooden rocking chair on the front porch each morning, drinking coffee, listening to nature (frogs, fish), and watching the lovely pond (which is so big it should be called a lake!)
The owner responded to all my questions within minutes.
You can even have pizza (regular AND gluten free) delivered!! If you visit, you must venture to Kimball Farms in Jaffrey to get a homemade ice cream sundae. It was so delicious we went every. Single. Day. Lol. I would totally live in the cabin if I could. And will DEFINITELY visit again.
I would rate this 100 stars on a scale of 5 being the highest =)

rented this cabin for memorial day weekend for a wedding 6 miles from the location. i received texts from the owner (or so i thought) confirming my reservation. but at 10pm, a car pulled up to this remote location and knocked on the door to tell us the cabin was theirs for the weekend (they had the code to get in, easily could have stolen our stuff). they called the host and she proceeded to kick us out because the other party were “repeat customers” who were there to “enjoy the amenities” while we were there for a wedding. i had a migraine and could not drive, but she did not care. we had to make our own reservation for a hotel. my brother had to tell her several times that we would not be leaving without a refund, so eventually she conceded that she would pay the difference for the hotel and our trip would cost the same (it did not).
she was condescending. she took absolutely no blame for her catastrophic failure to run a business. she told my brother that her goal was to “bring in as much money as possible without ever speaking to a customer.” she has software that handles all of her automated texts and bookings so she can pretend to be hospitable without lifting a finger. and this failure was the software’s fault, not hers. at midnight, i had to have someone else drive my car so we could go 35 mins away from our booking (41 mins away from the venue). i proceeded to have one of the worst weekends of my entire life. so beware. lydia has no integrity. book somewhere else.

A Peacefully Perfect Spot
My husband and I stayed for 2 nights at this lovely log cabin on the pond. Although the weather did not cooperate outdoors, we had all the comforts of home indoors. The cabin was warm and toasty and the view out to the pond did not disappoint-fog rising on the water in the morning, steady rain throughout the day and then clearing at night with a moon reflected on the water. The cabin is stocked with games and the tv/streaming easy to navigate. If you want peace and quiet this is the cabin to rent…and if you want plenty of activities, this is the cabin to rent. There were plenty of water toys, outdoor chairs around the fire pit, comfy chairs on the front porch…all that we can come back to, in better weather. The owner was a superior communicator…any question was answered within minutes. We did not want to leave as the sun shone brightly on the morning of our departure. We will return for more cabin and pond time as well as to explore the lovely village of Fitzwilliam. Thank you for a most relaxing stay at your cabin!

Waterfront Cabin
We had a great time at the cabin. It is just the right size for 4-6 people. It's at the end of a quiet dirt road. We spent as much time as possible enjoying the Scott Pond. The island was overgrow and the beavers have dropped many trees so we didn't get much use of it. Camp fires at night and coffee with a view from the front porch we favorites. We would definitely stay again.
