New Hampshire Meals and Rental Tax Operator's License # 065324
Peaceful, private, beautiful 2 bedroom with loft, 1 bath cottage on Mendums Pond for up to 6 guests. Enjoy the large deck facing the water/sunsets with multi-level, sandy lot. The expanded, open concept A frame provides a cozy and relaxing retreat. Cook inside in the well-equiped kitchen or grill outside. Enjoy your meals on the large deck facing the water or inside at the expandable dining table.
Our beautiful Mendums Pond water level has been lowered significantly for the 2025 season for maintenance on the dam. The good news is that the fishing has reported to be fantastic likely due to large bass being concentrated in less water with a reduced food supply. The water quality remains good for swimming, however, it is a significant walk over the lake bed to the lower shoreline. Although much of the shoreline is sandy and rocky there are areas of mud above and below the water line. Water shoes are recommended. Caution should be taken for those that decide to swim and life jackets should be worn especially for anyone that is not a strong swimmer. Guests must bring their own life jackets and swim at their own risk. Children must be supervised at all times.
Pictures have been added to the listing to show the affects of the lower water. As a result we have deeply reduced our nightly rates for this season. Pictures of the lake full remain on the listing for guests considering visiting during the 2026 season.
All of the fun, local attractions remain for our guest enjoyment including golf, hiking, berry picking, shopping, winery, oval track and drag car racing, the White Mountains, New Hampshire seacoast, great local seafood and so much more. Normal, lake-full photo's have been saved for guests interested in visiting next season when Mendums Pond is full again.
Savor your favorite beverages and snacks on the large deck while enjoying gorgeous sunsets. Enjoy a movie on the living room flatscreen TV or retire with a good book to the upstairs bedroom or loft accessible via spiral staircase or the downstairs bedroom. Sleeping spaces combine to offer a full-sized bob-o-pedic foam mattress and 4 twin beds (2 Sleepy's foam mattresses and 2 regular).

Summary: We enjoyed our stay in this cozy A-frame. It is clean and uncluttered, with a typical lake-house ambience. For a family of five, it was a manageable size. It was also very quiet. It is worth mentioning that there is no true door to the bathroom. Parking is understandably limited, but 3 cars can be squeezed in without blocking the access road.

Summary: The lake house was just as described and perfect for our needs. It was clean and everything worked. We enjoyed staying there. The lake was wonderful to play in for the kids and we all enjoyed kayaking up and down the lake and around the islands. Our host was attentive to our questions and responsive. We wished we had stayed a little longer!

Summary: Overall the property is very much like the listing. The water is beautiful, and made for great swimming and relaxing. We picked some wild blueberries and made blueberry pancakes in the well equipped kitchen. We had some issues getting the kayaks unlocked but the host was very responsive and gave us a few options. The cabin was probably a little more on the rustic side than I am used to but, my boyfriend had no complaints. I did not realize that the kitchen and bathroom were both carpeted which took me a bit to get used to but otherwise it was a great stay and we had a lovely relaxing weekend! Definitely stop at Calefs country store for pickles!

Summary: Beautiful setting on a quiet lake with loons and herons. We loved the deck overlooking the lake, and the kayaks and canoe provided (be sure to bring your own life vests)! The water was lovely and warm during our end-of-June stay.

Summary: The location was absolutely beautiful, you are right on top of the water with a beautiful sunset view. Definitely a cabin by the lake feel and design. Massive porch looking over the water. It’s great that kayaks and canoes are provided to explore the pond. Keith communicated great and responded very quickly to any questions. The only access to upstairs is a spiral staircase so it may be difficult for some people to access. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely go back again. Some minor issues: the porch and outdoor furniture were absolutely covered in needles that looked like they had been there for a while. The door for the bathroom was odd and should be updated to a regular door. The porch furniture was pretty uncomfortable and made staying outside less enjoyable.

Summary: My husband and his friend went on a two day fishing trip and this place did not disappoint! From the ease of communication with the owner, simple check in and check out procedures, a few trophy catches, and a comfortable layout made this the best fishing trip my husband has been on yet. Looking forward to bringing our entire family next time! Thank you Keith!

Summary: The cabin is a perfect little spot on a beautiful oligo pond great for swimming, fishing and kayaking! The property is well kept and the kayaks were a wonderful treat enjoyed by our entire family. We were treated by hummingbird visits each day. The beds are very comfortable and the kitchen well stocked. We had a wonderful time exploring the pond and surrounding towns.

Summary: The pictures were mostly accurate but do show much more light in the living room than we had; I believe the trees have grown a lot since the pictures were taken. We loved sitting on the deck and at the beach. We were not able to borrow life jackets and so did not try the kayaks. However, it was clear before we made reservations that we would have to provide our own life jackets. We did not see the birds that are mentioned in the write up. In fact, we were surprised at how few birds we saw at the lake or walking around outside. Perhaps it was just our particular week. We did not try the window air conditioner units. Note that you need a smart phone to use the 2nd floor A/C unit. I don't know about the first floor. The Wi-Fi was good. Lots of kitchen equipment as well as a Weber grill outside.
