Enchanting Rockwood Pond Home-Peace and Privacy!

Description from the owner

3 Bedrooms (Queen, Queen and single) and an upstairs expansive family sleeping loft/entertainment center with a King,2 single beds and a hideabed.

The great room has a full modern kitchen with all Brand New appliances, glasses, dishes, pots, spices, condiments and a dining table with room for 10.

The 3 sliding glass doors from the great room with cathedral ceiling, skylights and wood stove lead out to a full length deck overlooking the 1.5 acres of gently sloping property with paths by the extensive blueberry, raspberry and blackberry bushes down to the level waterfront.

Down in the walk out, high ceiling, newly renovated... lower level with lots of windows is another full bathroom and Ping Pong table, Foos Ball and Pool table. There is also exercise equipment, games, toys, modern full size washer dryer,extra refrigerator etc.

At the level private waterfront with it's gradual entry into the VERY clear water with sandy bottom, we have a big canoes,3 kayaks, rowboat, paddleboat for 4, inflatables, with all the lifejackets,paddles, fishing gear, chairs, tables, BBQ, firepit ( actually the old cooking fireplace for the 100 yr old "Stonecutters Cottage"), wood etc etc next to the really interesting huge pile of cut granite.

You can't see another house from our home!

Really all you need to bring is your food, clothes and sheets and towels. We really do pride ourselves on trying to have everything else so that you can have an enjoyable vacation!. You just need to plan your day fishing for the foot and a half long trout,bass,horned pout,or the really hungry perch, swimming off the 12'x12' floating dock, and using the canoes,kayak or boats to explore Rockwood Pond.

There are only well spaced homes on half the lake as the other half is conservation land with a "Rails To Trails" pathway for biking, exploring, jumping off the big tree rope into the lake, or hiking over to climb Mt Monadnock (the most climbed Mtn in the world!) to get a 100 mile view on a clear day. Afterwards rest those weary muscles soaking in the 6 person Hot Tub as a magnificent sunset lingers over the lake!

Fall brings the magnificent foliage that New Hampshire is famous for with festivals, fairs, and so very active Keene, NH 15 mins away.Winter brings cross country skiing right from your door, with our 10 full sets of XC skis, boots & poles, 12 diff sizes of skates, hockey sticks, pucks, sleds etc. Big time downhill skiing is within an hour, snowmobiling is on marked trails,ice skating, ice fishing or just relaxing around the wood stove while enjoying one of the movies, current & unusual books, or classic games that makes a long winter's night pass very pleasantly. If your wanderlust strikes, try antiquing and shopping in sales tax free NH, playing golf, hiking, biking, leaf-peeping, or attending one of the many auctions, flea markets, concerts,theatre, shows or festivals in the area. Maybe best of all, just grab a book,snuggle in a chair by the fire, on the expansive outdoor deck, in a floating lounge chair and just let your cares drift away as the sun slowly sets out over the lake!

We Hope You Will Come Visit Soon!Read more

  Perfect for a family vacation!

  With older family members in retirement housing in Keene, NH, we needed to find a way to continue our tradition of large family Christmas celebrations. When I found this Rockwood Pond home--just 15 mins. from Keene--I was so excited!
  
  The owners were so easy to work with during planning. The house was large, comfortable, and well outfitted. We had 6 full time residents, 2 additional overnight guests for 2 nights, and dinner for 11 at one point. We put up a Christmas tree, enjoyed playing in the snow and looking at the pond. Road and driveway care during our stay was excellent.
  
  We look forward to more family get-togethers here and we'd love to return in the summer.

  An inviting home with all the amenties of a resort!

  We recently stayed at Rockwood Pond's and we can't say enough good things about our experience! First, Paul and anne were extermely accomodating and made the booking process a personal experience vs a business transaction. We have never booked anything like this before and we had no experience with the Harris' so we were a little apprehensive! Howver, from the moment we opened the door we knew we had made the right decision! They have thought of all your needs and it abounds with all types of entertainment for all ages! The homey environment and decorating touches make it a memorable experience and the space was more than we imagined! The view was amazing and we will plan to return again in the future! If you are thinking of taking a chance you will not be dissapointed!
