Lux Waterfront Cottage at FarAway Pond

Luxurious waterfront cottage on a private pond with mountain views. One of 6 cottages on a 68-acre estate, LUX features an exclusive hot tub, deck fireplace, gas fire table, and kayaks. Cross footbridges to a private island with a screened gazebo, or hike to the Gold Mine Trail. Inside offers a chef's kitchen, fine china, two workspaces, and a primary suite with a jetted tub. Rent our adjacent guest house for added space and total privacy.

FarAway Pond is our peaceful sanctuary in the heart of the White Mountains' Great North Woods. Our 68-acre private estate features an 11-acre spring-fed pond, protected shoreline, woodlands, meadows, and apple orchards.
To preserve the natural landscape and protect wildlife habitats under the guidance of our forest advisor, our six distinctive guest dwellings are thoughtfully grouped along one side of the pond. This leaves the vast majority of the shoreline untouched and wild. While each cottage enjoys its own secluded sightlines and private outdoor living zones, please note that sound travels easily over open water, so you may occasionally hear fellow guests enjoying their decks.
