Bear Creek Cabin

“This cozy cabin is close to many outdoor activities during all 4 seasons. It’s within a 30-minute drive to Waterville Valley skiing; others are within an hour’s drive. There are numerous snowmobile trails right on our road, which is also a great place to hike year-round. There is no wifi; cell phone coverage is very limited. The deck is a beautiful place to watch the sunrise in the morning and catch shooting stars in the evening! Simply a spectacular location to enjoy total silence and unwind.”

  1. I am a subscriber! I was hoping to see some wheelchair accessible cabins! My son is in a wheelchair and it’s difficult to find accessible getaways. Please, if you hear of any let me know!

  2. Any cabins that could accommodate a dozen hikers, most of them over 60y.o? The plan is to do some day hikes in the White Mountains for about week.

  3. We have been visiting the White Mountains for over 25 years. While we have stayed a few places when traveling off sean or with our dog, our favorite is the Seven Dwarfs in Twin Mountain. Each room is unique, many of kitchens (they have them well supplied with dishes, pans and utensils). Some have fire places and one a jacuzzi. Located off the main road in a peaceful setting. Love the fire pit and BBQ by the Little River. Play area for kids. Horseshoes for the adults. Lovely hosts.

  4. We have been to Stowe Cabins in the Woods, located in Waterbury Center, Vermont, several times with our daughter, who was in a wheelchair. They have several cabins without stair access. We have also had good luck finding places on VRBO, adding filters as needed.

    1. I need a walker or a wheelchair ..we want a cabin with very limited stairs outside…up in the mountains…a river or lake would be awesome! I hope you and your daughter found somewhere!

  5. Looks like more examples of out-of-staters buying up real estate so locals still can’t afford to own a house up here. What a shocker.

    1. Actually I have lived in the Valley since 1969 so not an out of stater buying up property. I live one mile from my rentals so that we can be available for our guests.

  6. I am looking for a cabin to rent in the southern white mountains, coming from Exeter, for December 15th (ideally) for 4 adults one child (2)
    Do you have any suggestions??
