New Hampshire lodging recommendations

The family and I are planning an excursion to New Hampshire for a long Thanksgiving weekend. It's going to be both a much needed get away and reconnaissance mission to scout for the eventual move north. We are looking to rent a small cabin or something for the stay. Nothing fancy but would like it somewhat secluded, outside/away from the tourist traps, needs to be ok for us to bring our well behaved dog, along with myself/wife & son. Hoping for someplace either in or around the White Mountains. The more rustic the better but we are planning late so options are getting limited. If anyone knows of anything, recommendations would be appreciated.
Also going to need a place to go for Thanksgiving dinner.

 

dont know about cabins but there are hotels in the area of center harbor and harts turkey farm in meredith is very well known ,we have a place near ossippe and still take the trip over now and then ,try looking in the plymouth area as well ,good luck

Joe Dodge Lodge - Pinkham Notch | AMC
My son and I stayed in an AMC lodge about 25 years ago, it was Spartan ( bunk beds) but fun.

 

Going to be my suggestion too, that area. Campton. Before the ski rentals are booked. Maybe get one last drive for the season over the Sandwich Notch Road

 

I don't have any place at the tip of my tongue, the more rustic cabins are further north in Coos county, of course it will be full on winter up there by Turkey Day. I suggest googling places to see what fits your needs and wants. Good Luck!

 

My family and I stayed at Eidelweiss Village in Madison NH which was very nice. Someone is usually always posting their cabin/ski house for rent up there. Its about 20 minutes away from North Conway which is a tourist ski area but plenty of outdoor stuff to do in that area. You could also check out Woodstock New Hampshire or Lincoln New Hampshire, there's tons of ATV/SNow mobile trails and other outdoor stuff to do in that area.

 

Welcome Russellmania , good to see another Granite Stater here! We love pics here, so post em' if you got em', stacks, woodshed, etc.

 

Here is a resource for you for White Mountain lodging and cabins. Sorry, the only time I've overnighted up north was using my truck as my "tent" at Well Seasoned place. Maybe he'll see this mention and be able to give you some suggestions.

 

Welcome to the forum Russell. Go introduce yourself when you have some time.

 

We enjoyed our stay at the Baron Brook inn when we were up to We’ll Seasons gtg.

 

We are well, how are you folks doin up there? Hunkering down for the winter?

 

U install stoves & chimneys correct?
Do you have enough wood stocked up for the winter?

 

My wife and I went on a 2 week trip with our 2 well behaved labs in September out to new England. We spent a couple days in New Hampshire, and stayed at one place while in NH. Traveling with pups sure adds a layer of difficulty, as you're surely aware of.

We stayed in Gorham NH as it was a place I was familiar with since I used to live in Maine and we'd go to Gorham for many things.

So we stayed at the top notch inn. They took dogs, but had a $20 per dog per night fee. With 2 dogs, that surely adds a lot of money. Even with 1 dog it certainly adds to the expenses. Not only that, but they had some stupid dog rules , like any evidence of a dog being on the bed, etc, will get you a $100 fee to your card.


Red roof inns, and super 8 typically don't charge a pet fee.

A great site, for traveling with a dog, is bringfido.com. everything from dog friendly restaurants, to parks, to any off leash, or dog friendly establishments are all on there. You can even book hotels though the site. Highly recommended.

 

Things are so so at the local hardware store I work at. Could be busier. I’m in dandy shape firewood wise better stocked than usual. We got just a dusting of snow the other day, high today was 34 probably lots warmer than up your way. It’d be neat to check northern NH out in the winter sometime. Maybe once we get our daughter through college.

 

I really liked Gorham when we were up there.

 

How are you doing? Do you have all the pellets you’ll need for the winter?
