All Season House With Stunning Lake Views

Our house, meant for all seasons, is a waterfront vacation cottage on the shores of the tranquil Emerald Lake. You can take in the stunning lake-view from the dining area and living room through the glass sliding doors, which open to a deck with southern exposure. The deck is a wonderful place to have coffee or tea in the summer. Early in the morning, as well as during the twilight hours, you might catch the high-pitched laugh of a loon swimming through the morning mist.

In the summer, the lake is a clean and refreshing place to swim. From the deck, you can walk through the wild flowers to the water and jump right in! There is also a rowboat, kayaks, and a canoe, among other boats, that are available for a small fishing expedition or a leisurely paddle. Just a 10-15 minute walk down the road, there is also a small sandy beach that provides easy access to the water, as well as a floating dock to relax on.

In the fall, enjoy the spectacular foliage as you hike in the near by Fox State Forest. The forest and the cottage are ideal places to relax while recharging your body, mind, and soul underneath the changing fall leaves.

Winter offer activities such as ice fishing, skating on the lake, cross country skiing, or alpine skiing. Pat’s Peak and Mt. Sunapee are nearby ski-mountains with trails for all levels of alpine skiers.

In the spring, join the anglers who come from all over New England to fish for trout, pickerel, and bass. To view the spring buds growing on the trees, you can also trek the trails of the near by Fox Forest State Park or tour the panoramic Monadnock Mountain view at Kimble Hill.

The nearby town of Hillsborough has a commercial district, where shopping for groceries is made easy.
Feel free to explore Hillsboro historic center and its scenic surrounding. Next door, the quaint town of Henniker, home to New England College, also boasts of some fine, local restaurants.

Charles reached out to confirm we got in w/ease. The lake was beautiful quiet & secluded.
Tucked away on a country road, a cozy cabin with good books, kayaks, quilts and cast iron skillets is ready for a weekend of simple living and loon song admiring.

Very private and very restful. I loved the 6 sided deck right on the water. Added bonus of having actually dark nights, compared to the city. Will definitely go back!

A very nice week at the lake
We had a enjoyable and comfortable stay. The house is comfortable, and the location is splendid. We enjoy seeing many birds, kayaking, and fishing. Caught a very nice bass under the full moon one night, which was really cool. You will not be disappointed with his rental!

Really nice cozy lakefront home.
My family and I including 2 dogs had a great time at your vacation home. The fenced in yard was perfect for the dogs. My grandson had his first boat trip on the paddleboat and we all enjoyed the kayaks. We have some great pictures and memories. Very peaceful area for relaxing by the lake. Thanks for sharing your home with us.

well designed, clean and relaxing!
We are so grateful we rented this all-season house on a lake in Hillsborough! Everything was surprisingly clean and fresh and Charlie and Mary were exceedingly accommodating to our requests even though it was a last minute decision to go there. The beds are comfortable and the 3 floors- upstairs for the bedrooms, main floor with a small study-third bedroom- and a basement with an additional bedroom/space made it very comfortable for our party of 4 and everyone managed to find a comfortable space. There is no dishwasher but that was fine with us and we appreciated the extra paper plates available. We felt well taken care of by very generous and accommodating hosts! And we were originally drawn to the promise of loons on the lake..if anything, I was awakened by their calls early in the morning. It is a very special place.

Our 3rd visit with family to this cottage/house
As always we've enjoyed ourselves. The house has all the modern conveniences, but with a rustic and homey feel to the place. This summer owners added a very nice full bathroom upstairs, which was a game changer for everyone sleeping on the second floor (especially at night). The setting feels private because the house is tucked back in a wooded area up on a hill. Having all the boats (kayaks, and canoes), was a plus, as well as easy access in and out of water. The view from the roomy deck was beautiful, and became the main place we hung out (when not in the water) during the day. Owners were attentive to communications. This year there were 3 loons on the pond. That's it in a nutshell!

Summer fun
We really enjoyed our stay at Hummingbird. Many memories We’re made. The lake was so magical . We ienjoyed it from the wonderful deck at the house, the deck by the water, the dock and the provided boats. We really relaxed and took in all the offerings. We were visited by Loons , Beaver and a Bear even made a presence! The swimming was refreshing and clean and the house provided all the comforts. We really hope to be back.. Thank you Charlie and Mary!

beautiful setting and cute house
This New Hampshire pond house is a tranquil, clean and quiet oasis to enjoy canoeing, swimming and just relaxing on the owner's dock with a book. Observing and hearing the loons was a delight. The house is as described. The owners provided a very complete kitchen where you can really cook. (Not the usual case in many if not all of the VRBOs we have stayed in before.) The little town is about a 10 minute drive away for groceries etc. and a few cafes. We had a lovely vacation and certainly would return.

At Gould Pond
The house is very comfortable and well equipped, with all modern conveniences save a dishwasher (which was not an issue for simple summer cooking). The decor is attractive, giving off a rustic,cozy vibe. All the beds were covered with beautiful old pastel quilts. The swimming from the dock at the bottom of the yard was lovely and I appreciated the ladder that led directly into the pond. There are a number of small canoes or kayaks by the dock and the study has a number of board games and puzzles. The neighborhood is quiet, and essential shopping is a 3 - 6 minute drive away. This is a lovely spot for enjoying a quiet lake vacation.

Nice place. Even nicer hosts.
We spent a lovely week enjoying the Lakehouse. Getting some fishing and R&R time in. The house is very clean and in great shape. At one point we noticed that the gas grill wasn’t working properly. Charlie and Mary came out just as soon as they could with a brand new grill to replace the old one. They are really nice people. After we left, we realized that my son left his wallet behind. Charlie and Mary were kind enough to find it and mail it back to us without even charging us for shipping. Thanks again for such a relaxing stay listening to the loons and catching fish to our hearts content.

Nice lake house
We enjoyed our stay. 2nd floor bedrooms and bathroom were very nice and house was comfortable. Posting that there were 3 bedrooms was a bit misleading. There was a twin bed and uncomfortable futon in the musty basement. There was also an uncomfortable pullout in the library. I wouldn't have called either of those spaces a bedroom. However, we made it work. It would be helpful to leave a note for renters about the cloudy water, but our question to the owner about it was quickly answered. Several other suggestions: an additional towel rack or pegs in the 2nd floor bathroom for bath towels. A curtain or blinds in that bathroom would also be great. And a clothesline for wet beach towels and bathing suits would be helpful. Despite these minor suggestions, we had a great week and enjoyed the lake. Heard and saw loons almost daily, and saw turtles and a beaver. Kayaking was great and family had fun fishing.

Beautiful Vacation
We loved our time by the water on Hummingbird Lane. Every day we walked or ran around the lake, swam, kayaked, and enjoyed watching the water and sky from the deck and docks. This is a perfect setting for outdoor enthusiasts. We had a very peaceful and relaxing time. The cottage was clean and organized. Charlie and Mary were good communicators, and we definitely hope to return next summer.

Excellent Stay
The cabin/cottage has a nice feel to it--not overly modern, but a bit old fashion (in good way) with knotty pine through out the house. The outside deck with high view of lake were excellent. There are two docks near the water--one in the sun and other continuely in the shade. We kept going back and forth between the two, depending if we wanted shade of not. The lake is about 60 acres giving it an intimate feel. We love swimming-- so very manageable to swim across to the community beach. The best part is that the lake access is very good, no large rocks to hop over, and no muck to get through. We were 3 generations: grandparents, daughters, and granddaughter (teenagers) and used all the boats for kayaking, canoeing and fishing. Library has lots of games, which we played. We had a blast interacting with family. The guest book notes loons earlier in the year, though during out week there we saw/heard none. Don't miss the old stone bridges. Set GPS for Gleason Falls and you'll come to them.

Great place
I was looking for a relaxing and scenic getaway from the busy area I live in, I have to say this location is perfect! Nice and quiet and I loved having the lake(Pond) right in backyard it was beautiful with the little deck right on it where I can sit and just relax and enjoy quiet water. I could have went to Lake Winni or on ocean but this location at least at this time I didn’t see many people on water only a few so that was actually ideal as my #1 priority was quiet location Charlie was great host he made sure I was happy and did have some supplies already available, I would definitely recommend this rental and consider coming back at a future time!

Wonderful family vacation spot
Had an awesome time at this cozy and charming lake-side home. The home was extremely well-stocked with supplies for enjoying the waterfront such as kayaks, a canoe and sailboats, as well a numerous inflatable rafts, fishing poles, a great dock and awesome waterside deck. The kitchen was well-stocked with everything you need to completely prepare our own meals (pots, pans, normal kitchen tools, etc) as well as enjoy takeout (microwave, oven, etc). The outside grill worked well and is situated on the large outside deck which has a commanding view of the lake. The outside table with umbrella, also on the deck, made outside dining a pleasure. There are many good restaurants in the area as well which are an easy and pleasant drive away. The lake itself is excellent. The water seems very clean as there is significant inflow from a large stream on one end and outflow via a spillway on the other end. There are multiple beaches which we enjoyed boating to and spending time at. One of these beaches has playground equipment. The guest bedroom has many games and interesting books, as well as some toys such as K'NEX and even a few instruments. We were never bored even when spending time inside the house. The TV and DVD player worked fine and we were able to watch the Olympics live. Basically, the house is very well stocked from so many perspectives. The location and lake are absolutely beautiful and made for a very quite and relaxing stay. Our host Charlie was proactive in checking on us and making sure we had what we needed for a fine stay; this was much appreciated. Overall, a very fine place to vacation; highly recommended.

A peaceful week by the lake
We had a much-needed family vacation at this quiet, relaxing cottage on the lake. There was plenty of space for everyone, and the cottage is nicely decorated, with a beautiful view of the water from the deck. It was the perfect spot to unwind, and there was always something to do—swimming, kayaking, fishing, and visiting the excellent Currier Museum in Manchester on our one rainy day. Thank you for a wonderful trip!
