Treehouse type cottage in private location - Pet friendly!

Looking for peace and quiet for your NH vacation? We have it here at Pemi Shore Cottages.

I have a completely furnished private 2bd/1ba cottage not far from water on a wooded hill with a great view. We call it the 'Tree House Cottage'. Has stairs to come down to the beach or you can drive down.

This cottage has full-size beds, gas heat, flat-screen cable TV, Wi-Fi internet, AC, microwave, outdoor grill, outdoor fireplace, and access to our 90 foot private beach and boat ramp. There's also a row boat, kayak, and paddle boat for you to use, no charge. Pets are very welcome (no fee!), 2 per cottage included, and dog sitting may be available (ask us!).

We also don't charge a cleaning fee, assuming you bring your own linens (default). Optionally, we can provide linens for a $50 cleaning fee at check-in. If you can let us know before arrival, they'll be ready for you.

Great fishing, water skiing and swimming on the Pemigewasset River in a secluded location without all the tourists! Extremely private. Close to the Franklin Falls dam and its 3900 acres of scenic trails!

Only 4 miles from Rt. 93 (exit 22), 2 miles to grocery stores and only 6 miles to the popular Tanger outlet stores in Tilton.

The Pemi Shore Cottages are seasonal and open May 15th - Oct 15th. 20% discount for weekly guests and return weekly guests get legacy discount pricing!

This was a quick stop (2 nights) before meeting up for a big family vacation. Cottage was perfect. It was exactly as described, pet friendly and we were able to enjoy a couple breweries and winery all nearby. John is an excellent communicator and we were happy we booked here.

The property is a little piece heaven; private from neighboring cottages with a gorgeous view through the trees off the deck for morning coffee/afternoon snacks and easy access to the private beach. A private hammock, fire pit and picnic table next to the cottage was an extra bonus. Proximity to local outdoor activities and restaurants was excellent. John answered questions promptly before the trip and was there to greet us upon arrival. The check out process was just as easy. Thanks for a great getaway!

Great cabin, perfect for what we needed. Quiet, cozy, great view of the river, short drive to shopping if needed. Nice area to explore, we went to Newfound Lake and Meredith during our stay. John was very accommodating, and is a bonus that they allow dogs!

Great cottage!

My husband, two young kids and dogs had a great time at the cottage. The cottage was clean and fully stocked with comfortable beds, in a nice private area with private water front beach access. The dogs were welcome throughout the property and were even allowed to swim on the beach. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Perfect Getaway

My husband and I loved our stay! The hosts couldn’t have been more welcoming and helpful. We had a beautiful view from the Tree House Cottage and a very short walk down to the beach. The area is so peaceful and relaxing. There were also hiking trails very close by that we explored with our dog. This is a truly pet friendly property! We’ll be back next year!

Nice getaway

Only possible negatives were the access to the water wasn't the best and the wifi was inconsistent but it is a nice getaway and I would stay here again. The grill and hammock were nice and the cottage was a fine roof over our heads. The owners and neighbors seem like fine people too.

NH Fall Vacation

This was an awesome place to stay and unwind. John was a great host and helped us get settled in quickly. It was nice that he provided a boat, kayak, and paddle boat to enjoy the river with. This location is very quiet and relaxing. All the conveniences of a small town are just a short easy drive away. I would recommend this vacation spot to anyone.
