Lodging rentals near Lincoln, New Hampshire

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.

Bear's Pine Woods Campground

14 RV Sites, 3 RV Rental + Campsite Packages

Bear's Pine Woods Campground in Moultonborough, New Hampshire, offers 17 full-hookup RV sites on the wooded access road to Lake Winnipesaukee, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 40 feet behind a gated entrance. A 30/50-amp pull-through category joins a 30-amp back-in tier, with an outdoor pool, recreation center, game room, and nature trail. Seventeen sites run in 30/50-amp pull-through full hookup and 30-amp back-in full hookup categories, both carrying water, sewer, and electric, sized to 40 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Two straightforward categories keep booking simple; note the 40-foot cap before bringing a larger rig. RV rentals round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with a recreation center, game room, playground, walking trails, biking, swimming, and picnicking filling the rest. The dark Lakes Region sky makes for genuinely good stargazing. Pets are welcome. The setting is the appeal. The campground is surrounded by a state-managed forest and wildlife preserve, with a nature trail meandering through the pine woods down to Braun Bay on Lake Winnipesaukee — New Hampshire's largest lake at 72 square miles, with 250 islands and a shoreline that has drawn summer visitors for well over a century. Castle in the Clouds, the Loon Center, and Wolfeboro are close, with the White Mountains and the Kancamagus a short drive north. Summer is the season in the Lakes Region, with foliage drawing a strong late September and early October. Reserve well ahead for July and August.

The Arrival Bed & Breakfast

The Arrival Bed and Breakfast in Harwich, Massachusetts, offers boutique suites in a nineteenth-century sea captain's residence on Cape Cod, with on-site dining, a library, and WiFi, minutes from Nantucket Sound beaches and the Cape Cod Rail Trail. The property is pet friendly — uncommon among Cape Cod inns of this character. Elegantly appointed suites blend period architectural detail with modern comfort in a house built during the era when Harwich men sailed to the Grand Banks and the Pacific on the merchant routes that built coastal New England's nineteenth-century economy. On-site dining covers meals, a library serves quieter hours, and a general store is close at hand. WiFi reaches the property. The setting does most of the work. The Cape Cod Rail Trail runs nearby for cycling, Nantucket Sound beaches are minutes away for swimming, and a creek and the working harbor and cranberry bog landscape of Harwich's agricultural interior sit just inland. Harwich Port's village center concentrates the area's social and culinary life within easy reach, and a state park is nearby. Harwich sits on the elbow of the Cape, which puts both the Sound beaches to the south and the Atlantic side within short driving distance — a position that suits guests wanting to sample the whole Cape rather than commit to one shore. Directions: the inn is on Route 28, running through West Harwich. Arriving from off-Cape, GPS will typically route you off Highway 6 at Exit 78A (formerly Exit 9). A half mile after the exit, turn left onto Upper County Road, which merges into Route 28 at Dennis Port, then continue along Route 28. Summer is peak on the Cape by a wide margin. Reserve well ahead for July and August, and expect strong shoulder-season demand in September.
