About this property

Welcome to the White Mountains of New Hampshire! Located on a very quiet dead end road in Randolph, NH, this 2 bedroom apartment is the perfect stepping off place for hiking enthusiasts, small family get-a-ways, romantic adventures or working from here as you vacation. Passing through our property is the Short Circuit Path, one of the trails that connects to the rest of the 100 mile+ Randolph Mountain Club trail system and beyond. The 18 mile Presidential Rail Trail is minutes away as is the 12,100 acre Randolph Community Forest. Start your hiking and mountain biking explorations right here from the apartment, or drive to one of the other nearby trailheads. Also nearby are many summer attractions and shopping opportunities. The Mt Washington Auto Road, Great Glen Trails, Santa's Village, Story Land, miles of mountain biking and hundreds of miles of hiking and walking trails await your arrival. And of course, spectacular scenery in every direction. For birders, the Pondicherry National Wildlife Refuge is just a 20 minute drive, as is Great Glen Trails. And the birding right off the deck is also great!

Continuing with pandemic practices we'll stay with our special precautions to insure the safety of our guests and ourselves including blocking off a night between guests to insure a thorough airing out and cleaning/sanitizing.

The master bedroom has a full bath (tile shower, no tub) and a queen bed, closet and bureau with windows on 2 sides to woods and views to the mountains. The second bedroom has a twin bed with trundle twin bed underneath, arm chair, closet, folding table and chairs for games or working and windows to a forest view. The loft has beanbag chairs plus other chairs and a blackboard and is a great play area or simply use it as a seating area away from main areas. The living room has wonderful views to forests and mountains, cable smart TV with built in DVD player.

There is WiFi throughout the apartment and deck. (Generally 400+ MB down, 300+ MB up) Great for working from here including video calls.

There's comfortable outside seating at an umbrella covered patio table with chairs on an open deck overlooking woods with beautiful mountain views. Enjoy all your meals on the deck!

Full kitchen with electric stove/oven, microwave, refrigerator, dining table for 4.

Never better!!

We have stayed in many VRBO homes, as well as those from other similar services, as well as home exchanges. In our 25 years of being guests in others' homes, we have never had a better place to stay than Howie and Sue's. You name it, they've got it. Comfort, feature-richness, quietness, everything you could ask for. We felt as comfortable there as home--and that's saying something. Equally impressive and just as important, Howie and Sue were perfect hosts. They made it clear they valued our privacy and would be there if we needed them. It was like visiting family, but better, if you know what I mean. We hope to return someday. They get a ton of repeat visitors and for good reason. You can't go wrong. Mike and Karen

Quiet and Comfortable

The apartment was well equipped and very clean. The neighborhood was quiet, located away from commercial activity yet an easy drive into Gorham. The owners, Howie and Sue live next door and were very conscientious of our privacy yet readily available for questions or concerns. Certainly recommend the apartment as an opportunity for peace and solitude, away from most White Mountain tourist activity.

A Hiker's Paradise

Howie and Sue are consummate hosts in every sense of the word. From the moment we arrived, they welcomed us with genuine warmth. Their passion for the outdoors was infectious, and they eagerly shared their extensive knowledge of the trails in the area. Howie and Sue's hiking recommendations were spot-on, tailored to our preferences and skill level. It was clear that they genuinely cared about ensuring our stay was memorable. Whether you're a seasoned hiker or simply seeking a peaceful getaway, this cabin is an absolute treasure. We only spent a week at the cabin, but we were well positioned for big hikes (Wildcat Ridge Trail, the northern peaks in the Presidential Range) as well as all the delightful trails throughout Randolph itself, which literally begin outside the cabin's front door. We were also pleasantly surprised by the swimming options that we could walk to from the cabin—perfect for recovery days. We can't wait to return and explore even more of the incredible trails that this area has to offer.

The Goulet's

Great location, great view, and near all my family. Located just minutes from one family member, and a few miles to the other. We were able to visit with people we haven't seen in years. Close to many restaurants and tourist attractions, some just a short drive away. Nice and quiet at night, and the owners are readily available for any questions that are not covered in the very informative info packet.

Great Mountain Getaway

We went to see the fall colors and were not disappointed. Views off deck and from the picture window were awesome!Even driving up theroad to the entrance was full of beautiful fall color. Enjoyed walking trails around the house each day. There were just the sights of typical New England all around. The house was very cozy and clean. Everything was so convenient. Owner was right next door anytime we needed something. We would highly recommend it, and hope to be back there again.

Just Wonderful!

Howie and Sue are wonderful hosts, with a wonderful place, in a wonderful location. They took time to suggest local hiking trails that would be appropriate for our three-year-old son, and let us borrow maps of the nearby trails. There is actually a nice trail about 10 steps outside of the apartment door. Our son loved hiking it while we were there. I couldn’t have imagined a better place to stay to. The views from the back windows and the deck are amazing, and the inside of the apartment feels so homey. Everything you could need, other than food, is already there. We were already discussing our next visit within the first 24 hours of being on the property. The local area is just breathtaking. You are within 30 minutes of countless natural wonders. Howie was available via text to answer questions I had. I don’t feel like I could ever run out of positive things to say about this home, the owners, and the location.

Charming home and epic views

Howie and Sue are lovely people who made us feel welcome and share their knowledge of the area. Une garçonnière is like staying in a “log cabin” with windows that look upon the presidential mountain range. Trails right out the door take you to a variety of locations that are well maintained. Our last day it was chilly and raining so I didn’t get out of bed for a long time, enjoyed the warm blankets and the peace and quiet. It was perfect.

They left great directions for hikes, food, and other things in the area. We visited storyland, santas village, and Clark’s trading post. All were an easy drive. We will definitely return.

More then expected!

A cabin-style condo in the woods. Well equipped and maintained. Kids and family friendly. Bedding as described, plenty of extra blankets. Very clean. 1.5 bathrooms! One shower, though, and it’s on smaller side. Enough lighting, well furnished. Got extra folding table and chairs, great for work and hobby time. The living room view is great, porch had plenty of seating. AC works fairly well and there’s a ceiling fan and utility fan to help with air circulation during hot summer days. About 18 minutes from Santa’s village, 45 to Story Land, 8 minutes to Walmart, about 5 to Dynasty buffet. Roughly 25 minutes to Mt. Washington Auto Road. Won-der-full! Many thanks to the host!!

We had a wonderful respite in Sue and Howie’s rental in Randolph! The location is idyllic with stunning morning and evening views of Mt. Adams and Madison. The kitchen is well stocked for meal prep, and there is a private deck for morning coffee or lounging. There is also a trailhead for short hike right out the door with nearby fields of lupines!

Beautiful views and a great place to snooze

Within minutes of arriving at this hilltop getaway, we knew we were not going to want to leave at the end of the week. We immediately felt at home. Howie and Sue have thought of everything guests might need. We loved the fact that we could walk out the door and hike to places like Lookout Ledge. And, we loved knowing that after a day of hiking, we were returning home to our own great mountain views right from this very quiet and comfortable apartment.

About the host

Hosted by Howie Wemyss

I've lived in the White Mountains full time since 1971, moving "north of the Notch" to Randolph in 2003. In 2006 my wife, Sue and I purchased the home we had seasonally rented for several years and became proud Randolph home owners and landlords. After many years of renting year round, we decided to renovate the attached apartment and rent only in the summer season via Vrbo. We're both avid hikers, birders, and travelers with a keen love of the outdoors that we'd love to share with you when you stay in Randolph.

Why they chose this property

Randolph Hill, where our home and apartment are located, is one of those amazing places in the White Mountains that is close enough to all you need for enjoying the outdoors, but far enough away from it all to be quiet, private and secluded. Shopping and commercial amenities are 15 - 45 minutes away, the hiking trails are 15 seconds away! I first looked at "Hill" properties 30 years ago in another life when I was renovating homes and looking for that perfect place with mountain views and southern exposure - and here we are finally living the dream. Stay here and you'll see!

What makes this property unique

If you love the quiet outdoors, want to be away from the crowds and right on the hiking trails, this is the vacation apartment you've been looking for. With a beautiful view to the mountains and located on dead end Randolph Hill Road, it's very quiet, peaceful and serene. You could be perfectly happy sitting on the sunny deck all day reading a book with the sounds of the birds for a backdrop, or step out the door onto the Short Circuit Path to connect to the rest of the 100+ mile Randolph Mountain Club maintained hiking trail system. The night sky is absolutely amazing since we're far away from strong light sources - shooting stars, the Milky Way and passing satellites are all part of the show. We'll provide the local knowledge to get you to the places that will make this one of your most memorable vacations. Family attractions, scenic wonders, renowned outlet shopping - all within 60 minutes.

Nearby Gorham, NH (5 minutes drive) has many restaurant options when you're ready to dine out. Jackson, NH (30 minutes drive) has more restaurants and pubs, shopping and scenery. North Conway, NH (45 minutes drive) has dozens of unique shops as well as brand name outlet shopping and, of course, more restaurants and pubs.
