Good:
Screened porch at the cabin. Location (central to the Whites). TV, wi-fi, fridge worked fine. Ya Ya's (north of intersection) offers nearby basic groceries and subs (must be good... read more as it draws lots of customers).
Not so good:
Bed is short (I'm 6'2") and because the headboard juts out a few inches, I had to pull the bed off the wall by 4-5" and sleep diagonally on the mattress. Heating unit is a single blower in the bedroom, which doesn't maintain a consistent temperature during the night. Kitchen has no running water and so cleaning dishes is done in the bathroom sink whose stopper needs to be lifted to allow orts to run off. Bathroom window knob jammed and inserted packaged napkin between knob and frame to avoid having to fight the know when wanting to open or close the window. Closest large grocery store 21 minutes away in Littleton. (Only) one maid service for every 7-day stay. More

This was our first time staying in a cabin up north! We loved it. Very clean & comfy..it had everything we needed after a long day of snowmobiling (trails were... read more literally right across the street!!!) See pic attached.
We got up, showered & went across the street to the gas station (which has a huge store with anything you could need...clothing, food, hardware, parts for sleds), after filling the snowmobiles with gas we hit the trails. The cabins are about 1 minute from the trail.
Owners are amazing! We will definitely be staying again in a couple weeks! Perfect for a weekend getaway! We highly recommend it.
