The 18 Best New Hampshire Cabin Rentals for All Four Seasons
Escape to the Granite State for some of the Northeast's most expansive wilderness, best skiing and hiking, and ample cozy cabins
AUTHOR Katherine Englishman
To explore New Hampshire is to explore the wide expanses of untouched terrain throughout its beloved White Mountain region.
A spectacular expanse of rugged granite peaks and primitive forests, with 500 miles of some of the country’s oldest and most historic hiking trails, New Hampshire’s White Mountain National Forest is a raw and beautiful slice of New England outdoors. It’s home to some of our favorite cabins in the northeast, and more notably, the highest peak in the East: 6,288-foot-tall Mount Washington, known to Indigenous peoples as Agiocochook, “the place of the Great Spirit”. The mountain is well-known to have the world’s worst weather and the region’s most epic backcountry skiing all in the same place. How very New England, amirite?
Whatever your activity of choice, be it leaf peeping, skiing, climbing, thru-hiking, or a traverse along one of its world-famous ridgelines, the National Forest itself is largely undeveloped and thus pretty dang pristine. That means you’ll hunker down in a warm, inviting, and tastefully designed cabin along the perimeter of the Whites in a few of its adventure hubs like Conway, Lincoln, and Jackson. Don’t worry, there likely to be really good beer and even better views wherever you land.
We rounded up the 18 best Airbnb rentals, VRBOs, and other glamping sites around the White Mountains for you to explore what NH has to offer, from luxury cabins fit for a group ski trip, to tiny houses perfect for a romantic weekend.
