This cozy cabin had everything we needed for our small family and 3 pups. There was plenty of space to let the dogs run free without fear of them running into the road because it’s set back pretty far. The atmosphere was charming and comfortable, and the game room area was definitely a nice touch. Would stay here again!

Thank you for the review, Andrew! We are so glad to hear you had a great stay. We hope to host you and your family again in the future!
We had a wonderful stay and enjoyed the surrounding attractions. Many places to visit are only a short drive. The weather was perfect for time spent on the Saco River. Would recommend this cabin to others.
This is a great location and home!!! Has everything you need and more! The location on the Saco is amazing with sandy beach! Owners are super nice and helpful!
We had a great, relaxing weekend at the cabin with our 2 dogs. The location was quiet and serene, and being on the water was so nice. It definitely would be even better in the summer. We loved having a fire going while eating dinner and reading on the couch. We got out to check out Fryeburg (found a great coffee shop) and did some shopping in North Conway. Heads up (no pun intended) that the second floor is very short - my 6'2" husband had to duck and hit his head a few times.
Wonderful cabin. Extremely peaceful. Has everything you need to relax and enjoy the woods. Owners are extremely friendly and easy to communicate with. We look forward to staying here again
My family and I recently stayed here and had the best time. This cabin was everything we were looking for. The cozy fall vibes, relaxing in the hammock by the Saco, breakfast with a fire, warming up at night by the fire pit to having game night in the game room. We will definitely be back!

Thank you so much or the wonderful review, Mohammad! So glad you and your family were able to enjoy some relaxation during the holidays. You were great guests and we welcome you back to the cabin any time!
Everything about this was so amazing - the care that the owners put into the property and i to our stay was clearly evident. The teen boys loved the basement and the game room and considered it their man cave and we all just enjoyed the quiet serenity of nature and reconnecting with it while disconnecting from everything else. We loved hiking, the mountains, the close proximity to North Conway and everything about our trip. The cabin was exactly as described, pristine, and every last detail was thought of. Thank you so much - this is a vacation we won’t soon forget.
Beautiful and very private property allowed for peaceful evenings with plenty to do right there! Easy access to the Saco River, far enough from fiddlehead to not see / hear many river campers. Wonderful amenities. Would rent again!

Thanks for the 5 star review, Andrew! You and your friends were great guests. We hope to host you again!
If you want to spend some quality time with your family and dog, this is your place!The owners were so kind helpful, and accommodating. Their cabin is beautiful, clean, comfortable, and has everything you need. We had long days on the river, happy times by the fire, and even enjoyed the one rainy afternoon by playing in the game room!It was very obvious that the cabin owners are happy dog people just like us :)Our dogs always found a comfy place to relax after playing in the river all day. We all had a wonderful time filled with memories and were sad to leave. Thank you for a great summer vacation! Mark & DeAnna
This was our second time back and we had yet another great time. We enjoyed snowshoeing by the Saco, having a fire at breakfast, to having an outdoor fire then playing a game of darts. Our friends have already shown interest and looking forward to booking a weekend. Thank you again for being great hosts.
Christian and Keri
Great weekend at this cabin, rustic but very clean and well-appointed. We had fun in the snow and snowshoed down to the river. Be aware that the ceilings in the bedrooms upstairs are very low, might be an issue for someone with orthopedic issues. Owners were very helpful.
We were looking for something very last minute for only a couple nights and boy did this cabin deliver! Perfectly set up, we were able to make ourselves very at home and maximize our relaxation time. Loved having the river right there as we floated right up to the beach. Very accommodating and great setup for our two little dogs, the property was so private and expansive. Extra bonus was the central air, so nice after spending the muggy day outside. Excellent communication and thorough everything, we enjoyed our stay very much and hope to return again someday!

About the host
Hosted by Amina & Phil
Phil & I always dreamt of living on the Saco River and our dream became a reality in 2021 when we bought our log cabin. We love to escape to the woods from the city life in Boston where we work & live. We enjoyed hosting our friends and family so much that we decided to share it with others who love the river, mountains and all nature has to offer.
