Your Little Slice of Heaven in the White Mountains!
Escape to this charming log cabin retreat in a beautiful, park-like setting—your slice of paradise surrounded by 32 acres of pristine wilderness flanked by the protected Ammonoosuc River and the White Mountain National Forest. This fairy-tale cabin offers everything you need for a memorable getaway, including a hot tub, on-site hiking trails, and seasonal amenities like a volleyball court and a 25x45 ice skating rink (available when weather permits). Kids love the treehouse-like loft, accessed by a ladder, with a queen bed and roofed cubbies for kids and twinkly lights to evoke the fireflies that dot the property in the early summer. In the winter, you will feel like you're in a Hallmark movie! All this, in an amazing location, just two minutes from NH's favorite ski area, Bretton Woods, and the majestic Omni Mount Washington Resort.
Blending rustic charm with modern conveniences, this cabin features a traditional log design with unique touches, like hand-carved bear accents and a cozy soapstone wood stove, along with AC and heating provided by energy-efficient mini splits in each space – no need to fight over the perfect temperature. For peace of mind, a full-house generator ensures your stay remains comfortable, even in unexpected weather. Solar panels make this home green, too!
For your comfort, the living room futons have been replaced with a cozy sectional, perfect for snuggling up watching TV or the flames dancing in the wood stove. And there's more! We are currently in the process of adding a full bathroom with heated floors and a washer and dryer. Work is expected to be completed by Spring 2025, and will be done in between rentals so as not to impact anyone's stay.
Perfect for Families & Nature Lovers
This bear-themed cabin has a welcoming and cozy ambiance, with thoughtful craftsmanship throughout. The open-concept living/dining area features a rustic dining table, comfortable furniture, a wood-burning stove, and a TV. Outdoor dining is a breeze with a spacious deck and seating area. In the evenings, unwind in the hot tub under the stars or gather around the fire pit.
