Rockwood Pond has well spaced seasonal homes on only one half of it's almost two mile length. From Sept to June only 5 homes are occupied and in the summer the other 20 are primarily used on weekends only. Half of the Lake is a "Rails To Trails" pathway for walking, bike riding, nature watching,picking blackberries, or hiking over to Mt. Monadnock, the most climbed mountain in the world, for a 100 mile view to downtown Boston. You have got to try the Big Rope swing out over the water for an exciting drop into the sandy bottomed lake!
The Changing of the Seasons from late spring has abundant strawberries, the summer brings raspberries and big blackberries and as you head to fall, the loads of plump blueberries will amaze you. There are all sorts of festivals, antique shows, theatre in nearby Peterborough, NH (The "Our Town" of Thornton Wilder) and special presentations at the Fitzwilliam Museum which is housed in the old town doctors home, unchanged for over 150 years. Keene, about 12 miles away has a very active downtown with about 70 shops , restaurants, concert hall etc, all locally owned and the national chains on the outskirts. 6 miles away in Rindge you can get Walmart, etc in Sales Tax Free NH !

We enjoyed the weekend with our friends on this property. We loved the house! It was very cozy, very sunny, and had absolutely everything we could possibly need. It was very clean and the newly renovated basement with lots of games (like ping-pong and pool) was a plus. October 11, 2009Reviewer: The Whatleys From: Philadelphia, PAWe had the best time at Rockwood Pond Cottage. The house is so comfortable and has everything that you would need for a fun vacation. We loved canoeing on the pond, hiking and relaxing on the deck. It's the perfect place for a Fall getaway. Even our dog loved it! September 29, 2009Reviewer: Janet & Peter From: Baltimore Maryland
We came with our 3 dogs and had a great time. Never saw another person until the last day. Enjoyed the still producing blackberries and loved watching all the dragon flies dancing around. We came for 2 weeks and could have stayed forever. We'll be back! August 05, 2009Reviewer: Paul & Mary Lynn EllisWe spent a very enjoyable week at the Rockwood lake house. The house is comfortable and has all the amenities you'll need. The lake and property are very quiet and peaceful. Good fishing in the lake. The kayaks are also a very nice addition. The Harrises are also dog-friendly, which very few rental properties are. July 05, 2009Reviewer: Nedine Campbell From: Portland, OR
We picked the Rockwood Pond house because it March 31, 2009Reviewer: Jeff Carini From: Brockton MAMy friends and I stayed at the home for a weekend in March and had a great time. Everything you could possibly imagine was provided. We had great weather and were able to enjoy a portion of the partially frozen lake. We would certainly recomend this for a vacation for anytime of year. We would absolutely come back again. Thank You Paul and Anne. March 05, 2009Reviewer: Anonymous From: Andover, MA
Although our stay was just a short one, the home January 04, 2009Reviewer: The Canavan's From: Andover, Massachusetts USAWhat a magnificent winter break! We stayed over New Year's week and enjoyed every moment of it. Rockwood Pond went from cold to frozen to snow-swept...an extraordinary vision of winter's beauty. The house has everything we could have hoped for...(even the "snow" on the non-cable TV added to the sense of rustic peace and tranquility). The best audio-visual input came from the Vermont Castings wood stove...warmth and light reminiscent of generations of peaceful evenings here in the Monadnock Region (New Hampshire's "Quiet Corner")...unlimited opportunities for day-trips: the area is full of postcard-perfect towns untouched by progress...but there are good stores relatively close to the house...Perfect combination of solitude and modern comfort...The Harris family was very solicitous and available by phone or e-mail to answer any questions...We look forward to returning here one day... November 11, 2008Reviewer: Diane Lange From: Cape May Ct. House N.J.We stayed at the cabin for the first time this year.. In previous years we had rented a different cabin more far North... Our major requirement is for the cabin to be right for our 2 large dogs... They love to travel with us and we are always looking for a special spot to take them.. This cabin was just the ticket... it is set far enough away from neighbors to give my guys room to run without bothering anyone... the cabin was well stocked and decorated... Paul Harris is extremely friendly and helpful in making sure your stay goes well... The lake is Beautiful and the Hiking trails are first rate... We hiked an average of six miles a day and we were able to take different routes each day... Overall the week was great and we would recommed it to anyone looking for a quiet getaway... Diane Lange October 15, 2008Reviewer: The Kellehers From: Boston, MAWe spent the week before labor day and had the best week ever! We stayed with our two toddlers and there was endless things to do. With our girls we had non-stop berry picking (blueberries and blackberries are everywhere!), played with all the toys and games that are in great supply, swam, fished, hiked, biked, canoed, paddle boated, kayaked and watched videos at night from their wide selection. Great views and location, safe and clean swimming area and docks, great house with an awesome kitchen. So perfect for family fun without crowds and noise. We would recommend this to anyone who wants to get away from it all but still have plenty to do for adventure and fun. (Paul and Ann are also a pleasure to rent from and gave us a wealth of info and tips!) October 10, 2008Reviewer: Ruth From: Delanson, NYWe had a wonderful week at the lakefront home. The woodstove provided a warm and cozy atmosphere on the cool autumn nights. We caught perch in the pond and ate them that day. The kitchen had everything we needed. Our labrador loved the swimming. The home's proximity to Keene allowed for excellent dining experiences (Michele's was particularly awesome). September 23, 2008Reviewer: Linda & Ralph From: Elkton, Maryland
Paul and Anne, we had a wonderful time at the cottage on the pond. What a quiet, peaceful setting! The house was decorated beautifully! Ralph caught some BIG bass which made him VERY happy :-)... It was cool enough to enjoy a fire in the evenings most nights and we did.... either at the pond or in the livingroom. Our Newfie girls swam til their heart's content in the crystal clear water. We will definitely be back. Thank you for your hospitality and for allowing our dogs to enjoy your pond too! July 18, 2008Reviewer: AnnWe had a wonderful time here! It was a really nice quiet getaway from everything. The canoe was great fun to use! We also enjoyed having a fire down by the water - it was almost like camping - but with all of the amenities of home. The rope swing we found was a blast! Overall, this was exactly what we needed! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
