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.

**A friendly reminder: The Pond Camp is located directly on the water, so everyone should wear life jackets and follow safe behavior when enjoying aquatic activities. Please see the liability waiver at the end of the listing. By booking your stay at The Pond Camp, you agree to the waiver as stated below. If you are visiting with young children, please be mindful of their safety and make sure that there is adult supervision at all times while outdoors. Children who can't swim should wear lifejackets whenever they are near the water.
Guest access

The cabin is located at the end of a quiet road with only a few other camps on the street. You will be able to arrive any time after 4pm and enter the cabin with a keypad lock. You will have the entire cabin to yourself along with use of the small island just offshore. Please respect the other residents of the street and other paddlers on the water.

Other things to note
There are exterior security cameras in-use to monitor deliveries and maintenance and to make sure only registered guests are on the property.

Please keep in mind that this is a cabin directly adjacent to a pond. There is a good chance you will find things like mud, bugs, frogs, and other animals around the property.

Liability Waiver:
You understand that swimming and the use of kayaks, canoes or other boats is at your own risk and that special risks may be involved with swimming and using the kayaks, canoes or other boats.

You agree to be fully and solely responsible for any accidents you may incur. You understand the risks discussed above and agree that you will assume all responsibility for yourself and for the consequences of those in your party. You agree to waive any claim whatsoever against owner for accidents or claims arising from swimming, hiking or using the kayaks.

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.

Cozy and quiet
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!

The perfect escape getaway.
Scott Pond Cabin is a magical place. Nestled in the pines at the end of a camp road on a tranquil pond. The photos do not give it justice. Rustic charm with all the amenities of modern life. If you are looking for a week to recharge or just a country weekend getaway. Scott Pond Cabin will not disappoint.

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.

We were hoping for some sunshine on our visit but only got rain, regardless the cabin was lovely and the property was easy to navigate with Lydia's instructions. My young son loved the lofted bedroom and the bin of blocks that were available when rain kept us indoors. Lovely spot for boating but not a good swimming spot due to lots of reeds and and critters

The cabin and location was exactly as advertised. Beautiful, quiet, and secluded, but close to everything. The view of the pond from the front porch was wonderful, I spent a bit of time there just enjoying the peaceful view.

What a lovely place!
"Charming" is an understatement, but an apt description. This lob cabin was perfectly appointed for a brief respite away. It had comfortable places to sit, the beds were comfortable, and the kitchen had all necessities. There is one neighbor (who was home during my stay), but was barely visible through the trees. The pond is lovely and quaint, and it really does feel very isolated. However, plenty of food options nearby (including a grocery store just 8 minutes down the road). I loved, loved, loved my time here and would book again in a heartbeat. To top it off, the host was lovely, responsive, and easily troubleshooted issues with check in right away. So appreciated.
