Vacation Rental Description

Charming 2 bedroom, 1 ½ bath family home, located on beautiful and quiet Pleasant Lake in New 
London, New Hampshire.  85’ of private waterfront, with 6x30’ dock, sandy bottom swimming area, 
picnic table, and canoe.
This very recently renovated and furnished house sleeps 4-6+, including two bedrooms each with twin 
beds, plus a fold-out queen-sized couch and a fold-out chair in the living area.  The house is 
insulated for year-round living, with electric heat throughout, and a gas-fired "woodstove".  There 
is space for parking in front of the house, plus a shared two car garage for storage of your car,  
bikes, water toys, kayaks, etc. 
This is a superior choice for summer and fall vacations of a week or more.  Pleasant Lake is pure, 
safe, and quiet (no jet skis), and offers excellent swimming, boating, sailing, fishing, 
waterskiing, plus ducks and loons to enjoy.  Our dock sits in up to six feet of water, has a ladder 
from the water, and you may bring or locally rent a boat and keep it at the dock.  The boat launch 
site is a very short walk or paddle away, as is the Elkins Beach town park.  The charming town of 
New London is a short drive, a walk, or a bike ride away.  
This home has great privacy on all sides, with its own lawn, trees, and gardens. It is only a 100’ 
walk across a quiet road from the water and dock.  It shares the water frontage with our 1BR 
cottage, which is on the lake side of the road, and which is already fully booked from July-October, 
2008.
