We found the cabin to be fairly comfortable. The double bed in the basement was uncomfortable for two people. Some tilting of the mattress due to poor construction. The cabin could use more lighting (some strategically placed lamps.) It seemed dark in the evening. Although there is a nice fireplace, please be aware that you have to bring your own wood. Also, if you want to use the grill, you have to bring the propane tank somewhere to get it filled.
This cabin is awesome for a family/group that is looking to get away for the winter and do some winter sports. Its 15 minutes away from Waterville so its perfect for any activities. There is a rec center up the road - 5 minutes if you wanted the hot tub/pool to relax in after a full day. Its cute! Country Store is 5 minutes away and has just about everything you could ask for. its quite a gem in the area!A couple of things to be aware: There is a fireplace, but the tools for the fire make it a bit difficult to work with. Firewood is available at the Country store - but its not covered and is wet. Its also available at the gas station near the liquor store off the exit - get it there as it is much drier.The couch pillows are a bit old and need replacing. Bring your own bed pillows - highly recommend.
Our February ski vacation was so comfy at The Bears Lair! With many nooks for multiple families, everyone had their own spaces. The fireplace was a highlight and we enjoyed our first stay in Campton. We enjoyed nights in for dinner with a well equipped kitchen and our boys even sledded in the back yard after returning from the slopes. Great location and property!
We had a wonderful stay at the cabin. Everything was clean and comfortable, making it an easy transition with a family. The passes to the community center kept the kids entertained even when it was raining. Erik was very communicative, reaching out to make sure there was nothing else we needed. It was perfect, and we plan on staying here again!
A clean, wonderful cabin that was spacious and comfortable. The kitchen was well appointed, the back deck was large and being able to walk out to the firepit at night was a treat. Host was very easy to communicate with and the area was fantastic; a quick trip to multiple hikes in the White Mountains, Plymouth, Woodstock, Thornton...a very enjoyable experience.
We had an amazing stay at this cabin. It was very clean and had all the needed essentials. The owner was very responsive with a question we had at the beginning of our stay. Overall, it was very homey and I would highly recommend staying here.
We stayed at the cabin for a long weekend to ski and and hang with family. The host was amazing and let us in early when the weather wasn't cooperating at the MT. The host responded in minutes anytime we had questions!
The cabin was clean and stocked with plenty of towels, pillows and blankets. The location was a quick 10/15 minute drive to Waterville. The working fireplace was such a great bonus. We will definitely be rebooking in the future!
I stayed here with my wedding party as a “getting ready” spot close to the venue. We absolutely loved the vibes of the house and it was easy to navigate, had plenty of space, and offered a lot of ways for us to enjoy the cold evenings in NH. Would recommend to anyone!
Cozy Cabin in the White Mountains of New Hampshire
This trip was a fantastic getaway for our 20th wedding anniversary. 10 Porcupine Lane did not disappoint. The cabin is beautifully done and decorated, with all the amenities you can think of. The cabin has plenty of space for entertaining and relaxing. Erik is a wonderful host. For us, he was very accessible and easy to get a hold of, at least when we had cell service. Thank goodness for wi-fi in the cabin. The cabin is a short 20 minute drive to the famous Kancamagus highway in the White Mountains where there is plenty to see and do. The mountains this time of year are breathtaking and the fall foliage is amazing to take in. Our family of 5 has been on a few trips over the last two and a half years. We've done a summer vacation in Plymouth Mass., my wife's birthday in the Finger Lakes on lake Owasco, driven to Disney for Christmas, and spent a few days in August in Bethany Beach DE. I can not get enough of New England. Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, and Massachusettes are wonderful to visit especially this time of year. Thanks to Erik for opening up your home. We had such a good time visiting.
We had a great experience renting this property, everything was as advertised, and then some! A few minor glitches were promptly handled by a very accessible and accommodating owner. Thanks!
