Oops, it's almost summer and if you're a small family looking for a trip, the Lakehouse in Eidelweiss is for you. Past guest - don't forget us. New to the area, we think this will be a perfect spot for you. It's a quiet and updated cozy home surrounded by pines with a private beach that's also close to all the White Mountains and North Conway have to offer. A place where fresh air, sunlight, your private beach, and lake and mountain activities call to you and, mixed with area shopping and local attractions, thereâs no better combination. Look no further! The Lakehouse in Eidelweiss Village on Little Pea Porridge Pond is for you! The canoe and the kayaks are yours so you can take a trip down the lake to the next lake. Oh, when that moon rises right over the property, it's almost like you're in a bit of heaven. Grab the book to see which planet that is! Inside get a great night's sleep in either of the two bedrooms (kids love the bunkroom) and wake up to a day filled with hiking, shopping, or just taking it easy. Summertime lets the canoe take you downstream from Little Pea to Middle Pea. Fire up the grill for a tasty dinner and grab some warmth by the firepit in the evening. Step into the screened porch for a cup of coffee or hot chocolate or head inside to the propane fireplace where some atmosphere will hit the spot. Cable and high-speed internet are available to complete your experience. Scrabble anyone? If hiking, trips down the Kancamagus, and other attractions such as Storyland are more your style, you'll find them all not far away. Boutique shops to name-brand outlets begin and end North Conway for those looking for a buy. North Conway has opened many new outlets this year and excellent restaurants abound. Have a look at North Conway's "Best Of" on the table for you . Are you thinking of a trip to Mt. Washington ?!? Taking the Cog Railway perhaps? Your home away from home is waiting . There's a small playground just down the street or take a nice stroll. Plenty of room for your vehicle in the long, private driveway. Our guests always enjoy their experience. If youâre a long - term planner, book a week, two weeks, or more We're open to long-term !! Don't forget to book early for the summer. No better place to relax and smile. All seasons have their own allure - everyone likes their own beach and their own canoe! The mountains are everywhere! If you're an outdoor person, come to the Lakehouse where you'll look forward to the cozy cottage after a day of hiking or shopping, or paddling on the lake - heck, activities abound. Letâs get away from it all !! This charming home is perfect for every season and we look forward to hosting you soon. Be sure to read the overview on the table with suggestions for activities. Send a text if you have a particular question or issue. We can't solve them all but we can sure try !! See the pictures on the listing, although they don't do the Lakehouse justice. See you soon !

I believe this was our 6th year staying at this property for our summer vacation and we canât wait to come back! The house is clean and comfortable, the beach is perfect, itâs everything you need! Judith is always available for any questions, highly recommend!
The perfect place to stay if you are looking for a relaxing and private get away. Located just 15 minutes from North Conway with so much to do but I couldnât convince my 9 year old to leave the private beach and lake most days. The home was also very clean and the hostess Judi was responsive and so kind. Such a fun time with many memories made.
This spot is perfectly located near the White Mountains. We loved swimming and paddling right from our own private beach. We will definitely be renting here again.
This is our third time staying at this place. We love it here! It's perfect for families with little kids! We love all the swim toys, comfy beach chairs and firepit. The sandy beach is great!
This is the third time weâve stayed at this property, Judy is always great, making sure we have everything we need. The house is perfect, great sandy beach for the kids, shallow for them to be able to swim easily and safely. Close to North Conway, plenty to do. Canât wait to go back!
My family and I had a great time. Swimming, canoeing & kayaking right out the door. Close to North Conway and other White Mountain activities. I recommend this to anyone looking for a nice relaxing vacation.
What more can I say that I (or someone else) hasnât said already - had a blast, my son loves it up there. Judi is a gracious host, and the place was fantastic.

Only one question - did you catch any đ fish !!
Judi
You were a great guest Ryan.
My husband and I were looking for a cozy get away by a lake to enjoy the fall colors. We found the perfect place. The cabin was inviting and cozy. Judi was a great host and communicated very well. We'd definitely recommend this place.

Comfortable and Cozy
The chalet was just what we were looking for. We spent the days skiing and came back to a nice, peaceful night's sleep. The owner was responsive to our questions and I know we'll be back!

A nice family - just what we look for as an owner. I can see them in the lake with the kayak or fishing poles this summer. đŁ Perhaps theyâll be cooking marshmallows by the fire pit.
This was our fourth time staying here and we are already looking forward to coming back next year! Nice sandy beach for the kids, love the canoe and kayaks! Close to North Conway for day trips, and Judy is great! She checks in to make sure everything is ok, and quick to respond to questions. Definitely recommend this property!
The house and property are fantastic, and exactly as described and photographed. Judi is a wonderful host and made our family feel at home with thoughtful touches and amenities. Such a perfect little lake house that has everything you need and nothing you donât. We (and most importantly our son) had a great time and canât wait to go back.

Great property- tucked away, yet so close to town!
We could not have been happier with our stay at the Lakehouse! The home was both inviting and relaxing. The bunk beds - a huge hit. The owner was very responsive and helpful.
The private beachfront looks to be the perfect space for the summer. We're already planning a return trip in August!
This was our second time staying at this property for a summer vacation, it is wonderful!! Everything you need for a lake house vacation. Beautiful sandy beach, canoe and kayak to use, great location for family day trips. Judy is great, checking in to make sure we had what we needed, easy to get a hold of. Would highly recommend! Hope to go back next year!
Judithâs place is wonderful! A perfect cabin in the perfect spot. We barely left all week because it had everything we needed! We were out on the canoe almost every day, had bonfires, cooked on the grill and read on the dock. The cabin itself was clean and well stocked! When we finally did leave, we headed up to the Kancamagus for a fall hike. Itâs very well located, close to great trails as well as Conway and North Conway. We hope to come back again.
My wife, son and I returned to Judi's place earlier in the year for our second stay - we've been staying in Eidelweiss for years, and really enjoy this little cottage by the lake. It's the perfect place to hang out and let the kids enjoy themselves swimming, fishing, kayaking, or just floating around. Great views from the deck, and the place is very well stocked with all the misc. supplies you need. Excellent cottage overall, and Judi was a pleasure to deal with. We will definitely be back!
Judi was so nice left treats for the kids and the adults. The property was perfect for the kids. We had a tough time getting the kids out of the water! The pond was great nice and quite great for paddle boarding and swimming. Great location close to everything we needed. This was our third summer at the property and Judi does a great job. The house is small in size but was enough for our family of 4. It was fun the house has a rustic vibe and the kids just loved the beach and all the floats for the pond that Judi had there and the toys.
This was our second year here and it was another great trip with great memories! The house is small but fit all of our needs. The beach is perfect for the kids and the pond is calm and quiet. Perfect for a relaxing family trip. The owner couldn't have been nicer. She left treats for the kids and even called us to make sure everything was going OK. There was a major storm and she kept checking in on us to make sure we were OK. We hope to come back again next summer! The location is perfect close to all points.
Spent a wonderful week in this adorable lakeside cottage! The home is so cute, cozy and very well-appointed. You can tell owner Judi spends time there and loves it. Traveled with our two small boys (6 and 2) and they loved every minute: tons of beach toys, kayaks and floaties on the family-friendly pond. Loved that theres no motorized boats on pond, so it's quiet and safe. Lots of fish, frogs and turtles for kids to find! Location is close to hikes and town of Conway for shopping, food and activities. Judi is responsive and kind and helpful.
Would stay here again in a minute. Highly recommend!!
Perfect Stay! Judi the owner made sure that we knew everything about the home and takes great care of it. Check in was super easy and upon arrival there were treats left for the kids and a small bottle of wine left for myself, along with all the information needed about the home and things in the area. It is so cozy and beautifully decorated. The kids especially loved the bunk room. Kitchen was fully stocked with clean dishes, glasses and utensils etc. Plenty of extra paper towels, bathroom products as well. Plenty of blankets and pillows. It was so clean and comfortable that it really made the vacation that much more special. Right on the water, the kids loved being able to just go in. Home is fully stocked with Kayaks, Canoe, Pedal boat, sand toys, floats, pool noodles, Fire Pit, Picnic table, plenty of chairs. We enjoyed that the deck had both an outdoor sitting area and a screened in area as well and also a nice grill! I highly recommend this home for a vacation.
We had a wonderful stay! Location was perfect, right on the water but close enough to Conway to hop into town for daily activities. Communication was great and the house was clean. We arrived to find a bottle of wine and some snacks for the kiddos! It was great having âall the water toysâ my 5 year old was even able to use one of the kayaks by himself! It had everything we needed. Plenty of towels, the kitchen, although on the small side, was well stocked and the railings for the bunk beds worked perfectly for our small children. We used the grill mostly but did pop in a pizza (we brought our own pizza pan), all worked well! We did have a visitor get into our trash, so just be prepared that you might see a bear. Overall, we had a great stay and would rent again!

About the host
Hosted by Judith Taylor
Retired education professional who has spent 40 years coming to NH during all seasons.
Why they chose this property
After spending over 40 years in the North Conway area, The Lakehouse was the perfect spot. Eidelweiss is close to all the attractions in New Hampshire, yet nestled amongst the tall pines with a large, private beach.
What makes this property unique
The private beach allows you to relax and enjoy the sun in the summer or explore the lake in your snowshoes during the winter. Cookout on the grill and dine al fresco on the deck or covered porch while you watch the moon rise over the lake. Then, build a fire and relax for the night or head inside for some warmth by the cast iron stove.
All the comforts of home await you, while only a few minutes drive are mountains, hiking trails, river rafting, adventures, and shopping galore.
