Serenity on the Water

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Welcome to your picture-perfect New Hampshire retreat—beautifully perched on the shores of Little Pea Porridge Pond, where tranquil views through the trees meet the comfort of a fully renovated home. Whether you're sipping your morning coffee on the wraparound deck or launching a kayak from your private dock, every day here starts with a breath of fresh, pine-scented air.

Inside, the open-concept living space is both stylish and cozy, featuring a modern kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a spacious dining area, and a stone fireplace that’s perfect for curling up with a book (or your favorite digital paper, thanks to free WiFi). Central AC keeps things cool on warm summer days, while a large smart TV and plush seating make movie nights a breeze.

When the sun sets, gather under the stars at the seasonal firepit for s’mores and stories, all with a view of the water. With nearby beaches, three kayaks at your disposal, and serene natural beauty in every direction, this is the kind of place you’ll never want to leave.

This charming lakefront home sits peacefully on the western shores of Little Pea Porridge Pond, offering easy access to five sandy association beaches—Boulder Beach is just a short stroll away, less than a quarter-mile down the road. When you're not exploring Little, Middle, and the largest Pea Porridge Pond by kayak, you'll be less than five miles south of downtown Conway, where you can meet up with the iconic Kancamagus Highway for a spectacular foliage drive in autumn. If you're visiting in winter, you'll have your choice of nearby ski slopes, including King Pine (eight miles south), Cranmore (11 miles north), and Attitash (18 miles northwest). You'll also be a few minutes' drive from the Conway Scenic Railroad and a wealth of tax-free outlet shopping in Conway and North Conway.

Beautiful NH stay!

This home was breath taking for our fall family trip. The deck and view are priceless. Felt a bit like what Heaven must look like. Would certainly book again

Lovely stay by the lake

We really enjoyed our stay and the facilities, especially having direct access to the lake. However, the host should take better care of the cleanliness and make sure the fire pit area is safe to use. We will come back!

Perfect Vacation Getaway

The waterfront house was everything we needed and more! Plenty of room for 4 adults and 5 children. The direct access to the water, spacious inside, fully stocked kitchen and the wrap around deck was wonderful. Will definitely rent again!

Great family vacation!

My family stayed here for a week and absolutely loved it! The location is close enough to attractions but far enough away to avoid the hustle and bustle of North Conway. My kids really enjoyed swimming in the lake and using the kayaks. Pinkham Vacation Rental is top notch! I would definitely recommend this property to people looking for peace and quiet.

Girls weekend

We had a great time. The home was clean & space for 8woman was good. It’s was in a great spot close to NorthConway if you want to venture out. The price for the spot was good. The hill walking down to pond was steep. For young kids could be tricky. Wish the outside furniture was a little cleaner to sit on. We also couldn’t find any cleaning products to wipe down anything.

Great home on the lake!

We really enjoyed our stay. There was plenty of room and the lake views were beautiful. I can honestly say we would rent here again. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen had plenty of dishes, etc for us to use. The couches in the family room and the basement are nice. Even the hanging chair was comfortable! It definitely felt like a home I could come back to if I was to rent again in New Hampshire. Now for the cons...the amount of cobwebs and dust was pretty crazy. I get that you're by a lake and there are spiders and dust, but it looked like someone didn't take the time to dust in quite a while. The house could also use some paint touch up and new interior doors on the main level. The deck was full of leaves and sand that could have easily been blow off which made it kind of slippery. Like I said though, regardless of the cons I would stay again. Nice and quiet!!!

Getaway for 6

This home was very well-appointed and very comfortable for our party of six. With three teenage girls they made great use of the basement. It was nice to give them their own space. Property managers were very accommodating. Trash removal mid week was a little stressful with the transfer station closed Tuesday Wednesday Thursday. Did not see the option to dump trash at the real estate office until Friday. That would have been helpful as there was nowhere indoors to properly store the trash. But that was just a minor inconvenience. Great house and very close to all the attractions.

The Worst Experience

I recently stayed at a property listed on Vrbo and unfortunately, it did not meet expectations. The photos were misleading; the deck's paint was peeling, the walls were dingy, and the outdoor furniture was in poor condition. While the surfaces in the unit were clean, there was a noticeable layer of dust, particularly on the dining room light, and a foul smell reminiscent of rotting trash permeated the entire house, especially in the kitchen. Additionally, several light switches didn’t work, leaving some rooms dark. We had to move a lamp around, and there was a pile of unused extension cords just sitting in the corner. The most concerning issue was the presence of cockroaches. We found them crawling on the counters and around the stove. When I reached out to Vacasa for assistance, I was given the runaround and my request to be relocated was downplayed. I was told it’s common for homes in the woods to have roaches, which felt dismissive of my concerns. Overall, my experience was frustrating and disappointing. This unit looks beautiful in the photos but unfortunately is not well kept.

The home photographs well, and that is the extent of it

This home is not well taken care of, extremely dusty. The photos are misleading. The deck and outdoor furniture was filthy upon arrival. Every pot, pan and dish had to be washed first, food and lipstick on them. Even once I washed them they look like they have not been replaced in years. The furniture is so uncomfortable. The property was littered with Red Bull cans, water bottles and cigarette butts. Everything was cheap and falling apart. Hang a towel on the towel rack and it falls off the wall. From the marks on the wall you can see this has happened many times. Just a lack of thoughtfulness of our arrival. The bouquet of dead flowers on the table said it all. The vents are so dusty and the basement bedroom was damp and mildew. The septic needs to be pumped, we could smell it when we ate outside. We had to move the table to try to not smell it when sitting outside. Really disappointing.
