A touch of Serenity

Linda was wonderful in her review of the property and was very accommodating in all aspects of our stay. The cottage was well equipped and very comfortable including the mattress. We enjoyed the lake and a little fishing. The area is very nice and we did some exploring. It was very quiet and we rarely even saw anyone while we were on the lake. We hope to return in the spring or summer. Many thanks to Linda and Brad

We were looking for a private retreat in the NH woods

The description in Vrbo matched what we found & other than the rain we had a great time. We spent a good deal of our time out on the water in the provided kayaks,floats, motor boats & swimming. The water will appear brown but it is clear. It is this color because of the type of tree rooots that ring this very large pond that is only 10 ft deep. Lots of fish! We saw a bald eagle,heron,heard loons. Very private, never saw anyone else. Great basecamp for hiking, biking, going to restaurants. Several nearby towns have movies,libraries,groceries & laundromat. Limited shopping for gifts. We would go back!

A wonderful secluded gem

We stayed here 4 nights and loved it. We basically had the lake to ourselves the entire time, and we were there on labor day. If you're looking for fishing, kayaking, grilling, time in the woods, and relaxing ... it doesn't get better than this. Brad and Linda were wonderful hosts as well.

Fantastic tune

We had an amazing time with our puppy. Fishing, motor boat, kayaking. Perfect weather. Home was exactly what we were looking for. We enjoyed the outdoors, views and fire pit. Linda and Brad are gracious hosts. We WILL be back if you want to enjoy the out doors. This is a must.

We got into the hospitality business in 2019 with Loon Camp on Miller Pond in Grantham NH and have loved sharing that camp with all the wonderful guests that we have had come visit us over the last three years. Blueberry Cottage on Sportsman Pond is a new venture for us which we plan on making very special for our guests and is a very natural setting, rustic and surround by the natural signs of nature with only a few camps on this beautiful pond. We have birds on sportsman pond with wingspans up to 5 ft and all the wildlife that visit a large pond that is undeveloped. It also has all the modern conveniences of Home, where at Loon camp in
Grantham it is more rustic with a composting toilet.

Wake up and enjoy the sounds and sites of nature at this beautiful spot. Frogs, crickets and all types of waterfront birds and wild life.

Why they chose this property

Nature at its best with lots of natural land around pond and only a few camps on the water. Good fishing, and large brook in and out, where you can explore, enjoy, and get pictures of some of the wildlife early in the morning. Guests are welcome to use canoe, kayaks and fishing boat as long as they have life jackets on when on or in the water and have a buddy system..

Sailboat will be available for experienced sailers shortly for an extra fee. Give us a year and we plan on making this a premier spot to get away and relax and be close to nature.

What makes this property unique

Nature in its virgin state. Fire pit to enjoy the evenings. Porch to enjoy the rainy days with games, puzzles, and books to enjoy. Also many dvd available to watch in the evening or enjoy marsh mellow s'mores at the fire. To take care of the mosquitoes that have been prevalent this summer we have treated lot and installing some quiet but effective bug zappers. Site is 3.2 acres, has large pine trees, and is a very peaceful site to stay
