Cozy, rustic cabin in the heart of the White Mountains

We've been coming to the cabin for a few years and enjoy our stays immensely. The kids can ride bikes, roam and wade on the campground roads and river. Location is fantastic - convenient to Littleton (great restaurants and shops), Bethlehem (Rek Lis Brewery) and some of the best hiking in NH. Minutes from Mt Washington, Santa's village, Appalachia trail head and Zealand/Crawford notch. Far from the crowds in Conway and Lincoln but close enough to visit.

Nice cabin. Heating could be better. Spiral stairs a bit challenging to get up and down

Good place to stay in winter.

Weekend Away

The Bear Lodge Cabin was fantastic. Great location for day hikes and a wonderful place to relax at the end of a long day out on the mountains.

Cozy retreat

My husband and I stayed at the Bear Lodge Cabin which was warm and cozy. It could have accommodated our whole family in the many loft area beds and pull out couch in spare room. We enjoyed exploring around the river and hiking in nearby mountains. Very beautiful area.

Cute cabin in Twin Mountain

Perfect for a family getaway with our dog. Great location close to awesome hiking in the Northern Presidentials, Crawford and Franconia notches. Short trip to Santa's Village and gateway to explore the cute towns of Bethlehem and Littleton. Plenty of space, very quiet despite being fairly close to a few RVs- really quiet family friendly campground without the parties/loud noise that some campgrounds have.

Good base in White Mountains

This is a good base especially for Franconia Notch. There’s not much around locally so I would come with groceries The cabin has good space and is comfortable. There are no be private sleeping areas though

Cute cabin!

This was a surprise location. I do love that it was located on the river but I'm not sure I was aware it was in a campground prior to booking. All in all, it was a really cute place. I do wish it had air conditioning or a dehumidifier as it was very muggy and humid. It made for tough sleeping the 1st night. But I guess it was camping! I love that we could bring our pup! He really enjoyed swimming in the river and walking the campground. It was a nice last minute get away with my guys!

Trip to the White Mountains

Cabin is on a campsite. Great location close to Crawford Notch. This was a great place to rest our legs after some amazing hiking and mountain biking. Owner is very quick to respond to messages. WiFi is a little hit or miss in the Cabin, but worked great at the front of the cabin and on the porch. This was actually perfect as we could connect when we needed, but could otherwise be off the grid. Cabin was a bit musty at times. It was very humid during our trip so this likely had more to do with the damp and humid weather than with the property itself. Overall a wonderful experience and we would definitely return!

Short version: Terrible owner and bad experience with Expedia after being told I paid for everything and all was settled only to have the property owner cancel the day of with no contact until the day we arrive telling us we need to make another payment. Owner called us suspicious and threatened to call police. Expedia first said the whole sum of the trip was charged to my card then I asked where my missing money went and they say the whole sum was not charged to my card. Be careful dealing with properties who are listed here and go through VRBO. Property owner also told me I didn’t need to worry about anything else after asking if I owed anymore money before showing up to the property. Couldn’t get a straight answer from anyone.

Loved the pizza

My only complaint is that we stayed in one of the cabins and we would have liked it better if they kept an open space between the cabin and the first rv space

Lovely winter cabin by the river

Lovely affordable cabin by the Ammonoosic river with comfortable amenities. Stayed during very cold weather (double digits below zero) to see the Ice Castles and ski/snowboard at Bretton Woods, which is only a 6-7 minute easy drive down the road. Cabin is highly recommended as a less expensive alternative to staying at BW resort. The tile kitchen floor was cold--wore heavy socks to walk around--but we were all warm and cozy in the second floor beds. Took peaceful, idyllic walks with the dog along the river behind the cabin. What a beautiful winter wonderland! Description of amenities and minor shortcomings were spot on and there were no surprises. TV reception comes and goes but did not go for the TV ;-) Cabin is not close to grocery stores so recommend bringing food, ground coffee, milk, etc.; can always drive 10-15 minutes for provisions. Celli's Pizzeria is at campsite and provides a variety of fast food options that our kids loved. Got caught in a blizzard on day of check out and the owner allowed us to stay until the afternoon till the storm cleared. Much appreciated. Would definitely stay here again!

Nice Cabin!

Cabin was a very nice rental, however we had wished it was more secluded and not so close to the road, and we didn’t realize it was also so close to other rentals.

Awesome place.

Definitely 10/10. Clean, good location and quiet. The property manager was amazing and friendly. Also some of the best pizza I ever had from the pizza place a short walk away. The WiFi is pretty weak, the apps on the tv wouldn’t work without it. But as a couple that prefers to enjoy time together anyways it was absolutely perfect for us. Stargazing is amazing as well way up in the mountains. We will definitely be back!!!

Great location

This cabin was right in the middle of our favorite things to do and see in the White Mts. Communication with owners was quick and easy. I scored a 3 due to the cabin needs some updating and we wished the pool was able to be used. Other than that, the cabin suited our needs for the week and we enjoyed our time.
