Thank you both for coming! You were great guests, left the place so neat , you were so pleasant and let us know what hiking trail you used. We'll share that with other visitors. We appreciated your visit.
Carol and Ken are wonderful hosts. This is our 4th time at the cabin and we absolutely love it there. We looking forward to visiting again. Thank you both for allowing us to continue to stay!:)
Great place to stay. Great location for hiking in the white mountains. Host was very accommodating with information on the area. Log house was perfect for a get away.
Genuinely love this property and host! They have such great hospitality, and took the extra effort to let us know she remembered us from our previous stay!! Thank you Carol!
The cabin was in a peaceful, secluded location. We enjoyed the sound of the nearby stream trickling at night while we sat on the porch enjoying the cool night air. Carol kept the cabin clean and well organized. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend staying there to our friends.
The cabin is clean and comfortable.Beautiful location, perfect for stargazing. It’s hard to put into words the peace and serenity at this cabin. We have stayed here more times than I can count. Carol is a very thoughtful host. Pets are truly welcome and yet the cabin is very , very clean. We are looking forward to our next visit.
Perfect spacious cabin to get away for the weekend and explore the southern Whites. The fireplace was the highlight of trip for the chilly nights in.

Dear Alex, Thank you both for coming to visit!
Thanks so much for taking such good care of the place; refilling the wood box and taking your garbage was so helpful!
I'm glad you enjoyed the fireplace, which can make a cold winter night feel warm and cozy.
The log house is about to have a jotul wood burning stove insert put into the fireplace. It will have a full glass front. It will add warmth, be beautiful, and firewood is provided. I'm so excited to provide it for people to use and information on its use will be there.
Carol was lovely, very welcoming. The house was exactly what we were hoping for. Close enough to nearby activities and stores but very secluded. The kids loved that they could sled right in the yard. The only thing I would note, and this is not something I hold against the owner just want to point out for future visitors, there are lots of scented candles and things throughout the cabin to add to the ambiance. If you are sensitive to smells I would look for other options.
The property was everything it claimed to be. Had a great stay. Location was great and t-mobile worked at the house. If you take your pets be careful to check them for ticks. The while mountains are known for having them.
Great location, convenient to I93 and to Kancamagus. Very serene, private location. Good sized house with yard, mountain view, brook nearby. A very nice place from which to visit the White Mountains.
Thank you for letting us stay at your cabin. This is our 3rd visit and we absolutely love it here! Carol and Ken are excellent hosts and the cabin is beautiful. The cabin is secluded but close enough to access everything. We look forward to staying here again and sitting next to the beautiful fireplace.

Relaxing Spring Getaway
A really lovely spring getaway with some girlfriends and our dogs. The log cabin was very spacious and perfect to cook, hang out and just enjoy the surroundings and listen to the stream across the road. Location is great with nearby attractions and just serenity all around the cabin. We would love to come back!

It is so pleasing to rediscover each time, visitors enjoying the quiet, natural surroundings,. The log cabin is equipped with comforts of home, has rustic ambience and lots of space. We can also help with local information, about trails, events, and fun places for eating out when you don't want to cook.
You are so very welcome to come on back!
Perfect, relaxing weekend getaway.
Cozy, clean cabin with spectacular views.
Exactly what we were looking for. Thank you!

Thank you much for coming, for leaving the place in such a neat condition. The sleds you left behind are on the porch for sharing with the next visitors!
The day after you left, the new fireplace wood stove insert was installed. I think people will like it. A large glass front, still burns wood logs. simple instructions will be posted by the fireplace.. Wood is provided. Longer burning time, cozy!
The snowfall this month is frequently covering the trees and bushes. Full winter moon, stars on clear nights.
This was our second summer spending a week at the cabin. We just love it! There is so much to do in the area and the cabin itself has everything we need to enjoy our time. How quickly it has felt like our home away from home.
This home is charming, comfortable, delightful. My brother and I loved it as well as the surrounding property. We'll judge all future rentals against this outstanding one!
This is a true log cabin home, built almost 60 years ago by the owner. Heating systems (and now a new drilled well) have been upgraded over the years. The setting on the side of a hill with a stream across the road and a magnificent view have remained favorites with guests.
