About the host
Hosted by Robert Fontaine
Rob and Gevry purchased the house in 2013. Rob grew up on the lake and went UNH. Gevry has been in the New England area for over 25 years and went to UVM. They enjoy spending time by the lake, exploring the Lakes Region area with their teenage son.
Why they chose this property
The house has been in the family since 1960. Rob and Gevry live full-time in Framingham, MA, but spend much of their vacation time at the house on Shaws Pond enjoying the peaceful setting, boating, swimming, fishing and enjoying the local sights.
What makes this property unique
The house includes access to 3 kayaks and a row boat. You can enjoy a BBQ and dinner at the picnic tables overlooking Shaws Pond or in the adorable screen house that includes two mini refrigerators for easy access to drinks and snacks by the water.
The backside of the lake is undeveloped and provides beautiful views of the trees and hills. Shaws Pond is perfect for fishing, kayaking and swimming with very little motor boat traffic.
The house comes with everything you need - sheets, towels, beach towels, fully equipped kitchen, water toys, floats for the water, games, books, Wii and much more. We've got lots of recommendations for things to do in the area and are happy to help you plan your vacation.
Sunsets here are spectacular. So come enjoy all that this home has to offer.
