Pond-Side Chalet • Private Beach • Canoe & Kayak

"So close to the water's edge you could practically fish from the deck." That's what guests say about Idylweiss Chalet, our pond-side chalet in Eidelweiss Village, 15 minutes from North Conway. Mornings on the deck with the loons calling across Little Pea Porridge Pond. Afternoons on the private sandy beach with the canoe and kayak. Sleeps seven across three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. A short drive to Storyland, ski resorts, and the Kancamagus Highway.

Our chalet sits in a private alpine community on Little Pea Porridge Pond, a non-motorized lake we share with a small group of cabin neighbors. Family-owned and hosted for over a decade, the chalet runs year-round: swimming and canoeing in summer, snowshoe walks and ice skating in winter, foliage drives in fall.

Our chalet is two stories with three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The main level has the open kitchen, dining, and living area under vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, plus one bedroom and a full bathroom. Sliding glass doors off the main level open to the upper deck overlooking the pond. The lower walkout level has two more bedrooms (one with a queen, one with a bunk), the second full bathroom, a second living area with a futon, the laundry, and a screened porch facing the water.

The deck and the beach are where the chalet opens up. The upper deck overlooks the pond with outdoor dining and a BBQ for slow mornings and evening cookouts. The backyard is directly on the water's edge offering a private sandy beach with Adirondack chairs, a canoe, a kayak, and a fire pit (permit required use of pit has an additional fee) The lower screened porch faces the water for a quieter spot to sit through a summer storm or watch the sunset.
