About this property

Beach cottage on the water - private and pet friendly!

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

I have a completely furnished 2bd/1ba cottage on the water with a great view.

This cottage has full-size beds, gas heat, flat-screen cable TV, Wi-Fi internet, AC, microwave, outdoor grill, outdoor fireplace, patio, dock 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! 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. Return guests get legacy discount pricing!

Quiet and relaxing

Stayed two nights with our dog and had such a nice time relaxing around the fire and fishing. Our dog had a blast running around the yard and private beach. John was a great greeter and told us everything we needed to know. Was able to take their small boat out in the morning when the river was calm and it was so beautiful. Would definitely come back!

Fantastic R & R vacation.

Nice clean, rustic cabin right on the water. Fantastic fishing right from the dock. Lots of floating water toys, row boat, paddle boat. Owners were ready to meet our every need, but not intrusive. Gave us a twilight tour of the river in a pontoon boat. Very quiet area, but close to all kinds of good attractions and food.

The cabins were perfect size and had everything we needed. The location was amazing, right on the river but also very private. Loved the lights that were set up on both cabins at night!

Amazing

We enjoyed another great trip at the Pemi shore cottages ! We loved being so close to the water, our kids enjoyed countless hours on the beach . The best part is we were able to bring our dog who also enjoyed himself as much as the children. The cottage is perfect for a family of 4 plus a fur baby . Anything we needed was there , very clean and well kept. We are hoping to come back to enjoy ourselves again next year ! We loved the boat ride! Thank you Jane and Jon for offering your beautiful property for us to enjoy !!

Pemi Shore Cottages is a wonderful place to stay. Jane and John are amazing hosts, if you need anything they are there. If you want to relax, this is the perfect place (even though we would love to keep it a secret). We have been here for years and are already looking forward to our return.

Cabin

Great place to hide out from everyday life. Nice lil cabin on the water. Cozy and rustic with nice amenities. Property owners are really nice and helpful and it's just a great place to relax and just fish and swim or take the boats out or just use it as a home base and day trip around the mountains.

About the host

Hosted by John Holt

Host profile image
My name is John and I come up from Florida to help my mother out with the cottages, doing grunt work and anything computer related. :)

Why they chose this property

My parents bought the raw land in the 1980s and over time cleared the land, put in roads and services, and built the cottages by hand using rough cut wood from a local mill.

What makes this property unique

This location is VERY private. We are almost surrounded by town and federal land, including almost 4000 acres of Franklin Falls Dam Park. On a typical day we are the only people on this section of river, which is great for fishing, boating, watching nature or just soaking in the sun. Only 4 miles from 93 in central NH so you can zip around to other tourist spots.
