The dining room has a gas fireplace, with a heavy, 3'X6' plank pine table with seating for six while the full kitchen has a breakfast bar wth seating for four, and it has a small TV/DVD player. If you enjoy cooking, this cabin is furnished with excellent cooking utensils along with the new Maytag double oven gas range.

Our stay in the bear cabin was awesome! We couldn't have imagined a better place to stay. The cabin came with everything, gas fireplaces, comfy beds and even homemade treats! The kids loved it as well and the cabin was not just a place to stay but a great part of our funfilled trip to the white mountains! We wil be looking to bok it again soon! Cant recommend it enough!

We were originally supposed to stay at Norma's cabin from Aug 27-Sept 3, but Hurricane Irene prevented those plans! (We're from NJ.) We were very fortunate that we were able to reschedule for Sept 25-Oct 2, as we wouldn't have wanted to miss our stay at this great cabin! Norma is the most gracious of hosts and very attentive to every detail to make your stay special, from before you arrive to after you leave! The cabin is beautiful and we enjoyed the bear decor and the homemade treats! Had a great week of hiking (Chocurua, South Moat, Morgan and Percival, summit of Washington), a trip up the Auto Road, a trip into North Conway on the rainiest day, and a trip to the Deerfield Fair.

My family rented this cabin for 10 days celebrating Christmas and New Years here. It was magical. We arrived with snow on the ground and Norma had Kissing balls hanging from the Porch. Inside felt cozy and warm. The inside had special Christmas touches as well like a tree in the loft and garland on the railing. After the long ride it was perfect to have a basket of homemade goodies from Norma waiting for us. The cabin was incredibly clean, decorate with so many small touches it took the whole week to see them all, and had everything you would need to cook with. And I mean everything!! The waffle iron was a favorite of all. My husband and I slept in the master bedroom which has a huge closet and its own bathroom. The three girls claimed the loft bedroom which gave them their own space yet still feel part of everything and my three boys took over the basement family room feeling like they had their own private area to hang out in. All 6 kids loved the cabin and the time spent there. Christmas eve we decorated a tree and Norma went out of her way leaving us lights bulbs and a tree skirt. It snowed on Christmas morning which everyone was smiling about. During our stay we skied Cranemore three times, went skating at the Area, went tubing, on a train ride and shopping at the outlets. Getting to the places was so easy from the cabin. It is in a perfect location that you feel away from it all while there but its just a hop skip and a jump to everything. After the fun filled day it was always amazing to come back to the cabin. We would have dinner on in the crock pot, fire place ready and settling in with PJs and board games. Everyone always felt like they were home when at the cabin. Our family really reconnected here. We take many family trips each year and I can honestly say with a husband in the hotel business it is very rare for us to give a 5. This cabin and Norma deliver you a 5 star stay. From the moment you email her to inquire about the stay you will receive attentiveness and warmth from her. On arrival the basket of goodies, the toiletries waiting in the bathroom, and the well stock spices, pans and utilities will make you feel right at home as well as welcomed to be there. Any of our family trips to this area will always be spent there at Norma's Cabin. Thank you Norma for being an amazing host and now a friend to us all. See you soon.

We have stayed at several VRBO properties. All have been nice but this property was exceptional and Norma, the owner was the best to deal with! Each person in our family, from age almost 2 to 85, enjoyed the beauty and serenity of this property and the close location to Conway and the Kancamangus HWY. Having the grill made dinners easy ( we got the men to cook) and the kitchen layout and setup made all our meals a breeze. Norma mailed us a packet of brochures before our arrival and even mailed us some forgotten clothes and some great maple syrup upon our return. We used West side road several times to by pass the traffic on 16 in Conway and found a great roadside stand with the best corn and homemade pies. We had good fried clams and fried haddock in Ossipee at Jakes Seafood, had a great lunch and brews at Woodstock Station and Brewery when we drove the Kancamangus from Conway to Lincoln area, took a gondola ride up Loon Mtn and enjoyed the view, enjoyed Storyland through a new generation's eyes, took a road trip to Maine and had a nice lunch at the River Restaurant in West Paris,and just enjoyed being at the cabin. Once at the cabin you feel a million miles away from everything but 6 miles from the cabin we had takeout pizza one night at the Community Mkt and Deli and thanks to Norma's info, found a local CVS pharmacy 15 mins away, so we could pick up a forgotten prescription. A great location, the best owner to deal with and a home stocked with anything you would need, what else could you ask for? Thanks again Norma!

Our family just spent a great weekend at Norma's Cabin, celebrating Mom's 70th birthday with the kids and grandkids. The cabin is immaculate and meticulously maintained, and was everything we had expected and more! The photos don't begin to demonstrate all the amenities the cabin has to offer - there isn't anything you could need that isn't provided. We enjoyed homemade waffles on the new waffle iron, and also got to enjoy the firepit and fabulous gas grill. Norma is the ultimate hostess, providing homemade goodies for us, and giving us lots of suggestions for things to do in the area. The cabin is a perfect place for a get away and for enjoying time together as a family. We hope to return again! Thank you Norma!

You won't go wrong renting this beautiful cabin, and you especially can't go wrong with the owner Norma. The cabin is clean, well maintained, and is EXCEPTIONALLY equipped. The listing states that everything you need is included, and it's completely accurate. Everything you need is included. I am VERY picky and have high expectations, and this rental was first rate. Norma was a dream; she will bend over backwards to ensure that you are satisified and enjoy your stay. I will rent again because of Norma's attentiveness alone. I can't say enough about her, and her little dream cabin........

We spent a lovely week at this wooded retreat with our 20-month-old and 3 1/2 year old daughters. It was quiet, private and perfectly appointed. Everything we needed (and hadn't even thought of needing) was there. The cabin is immaculate, clean and well-decorated. Feels like staying in a luxurious bed and breakfast. Our hostess even went out of her way to provide us with her homemade treats, a bottle of homemade maple syrup (which we never got to use and forgot to bring home- darn!) and marshmallows for our little girls to roast in their wonderful fire pit. The layout was a little challenging having little ones who often need things from their bedrooms or kitchen, but we spent a lot of time out and about so it wasn't too bothersome. Overall, a great experience with a lovely hostess!

Norma is a great host and thought of everything to ensure that we had a wonderful stay at the cabin. The cabin is VERY clean, VERY well equipped and the home made goodies are a great start to any vacation. From the minute we arrived until we had to leave, our family had a fantastic time (our boys (4 and 6) wanted to move there!). In addition to all the usual attractions in the White Mountains, (Norma sends to you all the info leaflets in advance so you have plenty of time to plan your stay), if visiting in the summer a trip to Silver Lake is a MUST – crystal clear water, the main beach has picnic tables, BBQ and a swimming dock for a full day of fun, the best part is its only 5/10 minutes away. We’ve rented several vacation homes over the years, and definitely give the Cabin a 5 star rating! Norma, I hope it won’t be too long before we can bring the boys back to ‘Norma’s Log Cabin’!! Thanks again for a fantastic stay!

My husband and I spent 5 nights in Norma's cabin and wished we could have stayed longer. She has created the perfect getaway. Staying here was as comfortable as being at home. Norma provides everything you could think of right down to spices for cooking. She also has games, puzzles, magazines, books (for everyone) and movies. The pictures on the website are very acturate, if not, understated. We are already looking forward to a return visit. Thank you, Norma. You are a pleasure to work with. Enjoyed the goodies!
