Pemi Cabins

Along the Pemigewasset River in Lincoln, New Hampshire—at the foot of the White Mountains in Grafton County where the Franconia Notch corridor concentrates the most dramatic granite mountain scenery in New England and where the Pemi's river sound, the mountain air, and the proximity of 800,000 acres of White Mountain National Forest create the outdoor setting that Lincoln's lodging community has built its identity around—Pemi Cabins offers 18 one and two-bedroom cabins with fireplaces, screened porches overlooking the river, kitchens, high-speed WiFi, and flat-screen TVs, alongside an outdoor pizza oven, fire pits, picnic tables, park grills, a shuffleboard court, complimentary morning coffee, and direct snowmobile trail access with trailer parking—pet-friendly and open year-round in a riverside cabin property where 14 of the 18 units sit directly on the Pemigewasset and the White Mountain National Forest's trail network begins within walking distance. The river is under the porch. The mountain is the view. The 18 cabins—14 of which sit directly on the Pemigewasset River—provide the one and two-bedroom configurations with fireplaces for the cool White Mountain nights, screened porches where the river sound creates the sleep environment that Lincoln's lodging competition charges extra for, full kitchens with the equipment for self-catering the week's meals, and the WiFi and flat-screen TVs that the modern cabin guest requires regardless of how completely the mountain setting absorbs the daytime hours. The outdoor pizza oven, communal fire pits, picnic tables, park grills, and shuffleboard court create the shared outdoor social infrastructure that a cabin community needs when the individual units' porches aren't enough space for the evening gathering. Complimentary morning coffee, the pet-friendly policy, and the snowmobile trail access with trailer parking extend the practical hospitality across seasons and travel styles. Lincoln sits in Grafton County at the foot of Franconia Notch on I-93, at the southern gateway to the White Mountain National Forest's most visited corridor. The Pemigewasset Wilderness—the 45,000-acre roadless area south of Franconia Notch that the Wilderness Act protects in one of the largest wilderness designations in the Northeast—creates the backcountry hiking and fishing environment that the Pemi Cabins' location at the wilderness edge makes immediately accessible from the riverside property. The Pemigewasset River's east and west branch confluence in Lincoln creates the main stem that flows south through the Pemi Valley toward Plymouth and the Lakes Region. Franconia Notch State Park, 5 miles north on I-93, concentrates the White Mountains' most iconic attractions in the 8-mile granite notch—the Flume Gorge's 800-foot natural chasm with boardwalks and covered bridges along the Flume Brook, the aerial tramway to Cannon Mountain's 4,080-foot summit, Echo Lake's swimming beach and mountain reflections, and the Basin's pothole-carved granite bowl at the base of a waterfall. Loon Mountain Resort, 3 miles east of Lincoln on the Kancamagus Highway, operates ski lifts from December through March and mountain biking and the gondola scenic ride from May through October. The 34-mile Kancamagus Highway east through the national forest to Conway delivers the most scenic fall foliage drive in New Hampshire during October's peak color weeks. Pemi Cabins operates year-round in the White Mountains' four-season climate—the winter snowmobile season from January through March on the groomed trail network accessed directly from the property, the spring and summer hiking and river season from May through September, and the October foliage peak that makes the Franconia Notch corridor one of New England's most photographed autumn landscapes. Reserve your riverside cabin at Pemi Cabins and let the Pemigewasset River's sound, the Franconia Notch backdrop, and Lincoln's White Mountain National Forest position deliver the four-season New Hampshire mountain experience that the screened porch and the fireplace were built to frame.

Sun Retreats Westward Shores

25 RV Sites, 2 Cabins, 28 Cottages, 1 Lodge, 3 Park Models

Sun Retreats Westward Shores in West Ossipee, New Hampshire, occupies the northwest shore of Ossipee Lake in Carroll County's Lakes Region foothills — a waterfront camp-resort in the transition zone between the granite-and-pine lake country of the New Hampshire Lakes Region and the White Mountain foothills of the Mount Washington Valley, giving guests a dual-access summer base that combines the lake swimming, boating, and fishing of Ossipee Lake with the hiking, outlet shopping, scenic railroad rides, and alpine attractions of the North Conway and Conway corridor minutes to the north. The Sun Retreats brand's investment in consistent amenity quality and operational hospitality gives Westward Shores the resort character that Ossipee Lake's natural setting deserves. Lakefront and lake-view accommodations for RV sites, cottage rentals, and vacation home-style lodging give the resort the accommodation diversity to serve families across different group sizes and equipment configurations. The direct Ossipee Lake access — with swimming, boating, and fishing available from the property's waterfront — delivers the lake summer camp experience that New Hampshire's Lakes Region and its glacially carved lake system have provided to summer visitors since the Victorian era. The resort's community programming, social activities, and family-oriented atmosphere reflect Sun Retreats' approach to building a genuine seasonal community rather than simply providing overnight parking. Pets are welcome. Ossipee Lake's approximately 3,000 acres of cold, clear New Hampshire water support warmwater and coldwater fishery species across a lake whose maximum depth exceeds 100 feet in its northern basin — largemouth and smallmouth bass, pickerel, yellow perch, and white perch sustain the recreational fishing that lake country summer residents build their morning routines around. The lake's western shore access from Westward Shores gives guests the aquatic base for motorized boating, sailing, canoeing, and kayaking across a lake large enough to provide genuine open-water conditions while remaining contained enough for family boating safety. The Mount Washington Valley, accessible in minutes from the resort, is New Hampshire's most comprehensively developed outdoor recreation and tourism corridor — North Conway's outlet shopping district provides the commercial anchor that makes the valley a year-round destination regardless of weather, while the White Mountain National Forest hiking trail network, Cathedral Ledge and Whitehorse Ledge's world-class rock climbing, the Swift River's swimming holes in the White Mountain National Forest, and the Conway Scenic Railroad's excursion trains through Crawford Notch deliver the White Mountain experience that New England outdoor enthusiasts pursue year-round. Sun Retreats Westward Shores operates through New Hampshire's camping season from late May through Columbus Day weekend, with the summer weeks from Fourth of July through Labor Day representing the most intensely booked period and the August foliage transition beginning the color season that extends through the September and early October window of peak leaf color in Carroll County's mixed hardwood and conifer forest. Lake Winnipesaukee, New Hampshire's largest lake, is 20 minutes south of Ossipee and provides the Weirs Beach entertainment district, the M/S Mount Washington excursion boat, and the Water Country waterpark as day-trip extensions of the Lakes Region experience. Reserve accommodations several months ahead for summer holiday weekends and the prime August lake season when Ossipee Lake area properties book from the greater Boston, Manchester, and coastal New England markets.
