The space
Escape to FarAway Pond, a peaceful sanctuary in the heart of the White Mountains' Great North Woods. Immerse yourself in the beauty of our water, forest, fields, and orchards. Explore our private trails, connect to the GoldMine trail in the adjacent 300-acre Dana Forest, or simply relax and reconnect with yourself. High-speed internet and a dedicated workspace are available if you need to connect to the outside world.
There are only 3 cottages along the lake shore and it is possible to book all 3 for a perfectly private experience for one family or gathering. Ask about dates and your needs. Our luxurious cottage offers everything you need for a perfect getaway. The gourmet kitchen is a chef's dream, complete with all the gadgets and pans you could desire (just ask if you need something specific!). Enjoy meals in the dining room with fine china and silverware. The master bedroom boasts a wall of windows overlooking the pond and a master bath with a jetted tub and separate shower. A laundry room and half bath add to your convenience. The living room features a comfortable new sofa bed with chaise and a cozy electric fireplace. Outside, a lovely wood fireplace on the deck awaits, with wood provided! An outdoor kitchen and comfy pond-side deck with dining furniture complete the picture.
Explore our 68-acre estate year-round, from vibrant fall foliage to snowy winter landscapes. Enjoy hiking, snowshoeing, and easy access to nearby ski resorts like Cannon and Bretton Woods. Keep an eye out for local wildlife – you might spot moose, bear, otters, and more! (A note about our wild neighbors: seasonal critters like mosquitos, black flies, mice, and squirrels may occasionally visit. We do our best to manage this naturally, so please let us know immediately if you encounter any so we can take swift action.)

Guest access
The entire private estate and pond is there for you you to enjoy ( except for the private parts reserved for the guests who have booked their space) and there are lovely trails to walk through the woods and meadows. Look for moose, bear, otter and our adorable ducks as they float around the pond. There are trout in the pond as well, bring your fishing gear! We have poles and an ice auger for drilling a hole in the ice for ice fishing! Full outdoor kitchen on the deck for grilling those trout! There is a grill on your deck and a shared fire pit at the beach. Kayaks and paddle boards available for your use. In winter, you can snowshoe, ice fish or ski and ride at nearby Breton Woods and Cannon MT.
Other things to note
The Cottage is fully heated and air conditioned with efficient heat pump, cosy and energy efficient electric "wood burning " fireplace. We have 40 solar panels and make our own electricity, so this is an ecologically sound way to go. Wood for the fire pits is from fallen trees collected right here on the property.
