Hosts do not live in the area, but are available via AirBnB messages to assist guests with their enjoyment of the cabin. We also have local resources we can contact if there is an emergency. We're located in the four-season recreational community of Mountain Lakes, and our cabin is lakeside on Upper Mountain Lake. There are two lakes for swimming, kayaking or canoeing (non-motorized boats only), fishing, or ice skating. The lakes are privately owned, so no state license is needed for fishing. Our property is lakefront, or you can enjoy one of the community beaches. In summer there's a pool, basketball court, tennis court, playground, and baseball field and in winter an outdoor ice skating rink and sledding hill (bring own equipment) within Mountain Lakes. Our cabin is a 10 minute drive to downtown Woodsville, which has grocery shopping (Walmart and Shaw's) and local restaurants. We've also got the delicious Hatchland's Creamery for the best maple ice cream around! Within a 40 minute drive, you will find: - The Lost River Gorge and caves and Beaver Pond (20 minutes) - The ice castles (20 minutes) - Skiing at Cannon or Loon Mountain - Shops in Woodstock, Lincoln, and Littleton - Craft breweries (Rek-Lis, Iron Furnace, Schilling) - Clark's Trading Post - Franconia Notch State Park (The Flume, the Basin, Old Man of the Mountain Historic Site, Echo Lake) - Various hiking trails, ponds, and streams throughout the White Mountains - Kancamagus scenic drive & moose sightings - Collins corn maze (in fall) - 15 minutes to VT border - Local farmstands - So much more to explore! (note that reservations are required for many area attractions - plan ahead and book in advance of your stay!) You'll need a car to get around town, but within the Mountain Lakes community you can walk or bike to the shared beach. Our cabin is located on a dirt road which is well-maintained by the community, but still can be slippery in winter. Additionally, most visitors will reach our cabin by driving through the White Mountains on Route 112, which can be hazardous in stormy winter conditions. For Nov - Mar stays, we recommend that your vehicle is equipped for driving in winter conditions. If the dates you'd like to book are not available, try checking out the listing for our sister cabin, also lakeside, down the road at Blue Loon cabin. Mountain Lakes is a peaceful community with a mix of seasonal vacationers and renters and year-round residents. Please keep noise to a minimum so that all of our community members can enjoy the peacefulness of our beautiful setting. We do have a few life jackets on site, but they may or may not fit the individuals in your party. Mountain Lakes requires that children 14 and under wear life jackets while boating on the lake. You likely won't have cell phone service in our community, but can set up your phone for wifi calling once you're here. Internet service is very reliable. Our property is pet friendly for well-behaved pets. These must be disclosed to us at time of booking.
