| We had the BEST time playing in the snow and enjoying the beautiful New England winter! There was so much to do in this area from tubing to dog sledding and everything in between. The best part was having a cozy, warm cabin to come home to! Norma was such a wonderful help in planning our trip and giving us useful information and good tips! We have stayed at several VRBO homes and never experienced an owner this interested in making sure your stay was the best it could be! It made all the difference in the world! |

| Norma is the Hostess with the Mostest and the cabin is bright, clean, cozy, equipped and homey. We can't say enough about the accomodation, the friendship, the neighbors, the Norma-made cookies, the area, the stars, the silence and the relaxation. We are moving up there from Florida and consider Norma and her neighbors our friends! Thank You Norma, We'll Be Back. Sincerely, Paul & Lori |

| This cabin is wonderful! It is much more beautiful than the pictures reveal. Its cozy and warm and like a home away from home. Upon arriving-you may not want to leave the cabin, but it's convenient to great shopping or gorgeous scenics rides! Mount Washington is just phenomenal! Can't say enough kind words for Norma. She provides every amenity you need and then some! She certainly goes out of her way to make this a special place for all to enjoy. We hated to leave, but plan a return trip hopefully soon. Thank you, Norma, for making this a weekend we'll not soon forget! |

Oh,what a wonderful place to vacation !! This was our second time at Norma's cabin and we hope to come back many more times.
Immaculate and welcoming. The only thing left to be desired is more time at the cabin when your vacation is over. But, that's what next year's vacation is for. Thank you Norma!!! |

Again, a wonderful visit up to the woods at Norma's
cabin. The cabin is still sparkling clean and has
every amenity. The kids remembered the "talking
moose" and were excited to use it. The location is
just perfect for everything in the area. We only
wish we'd see a real moose some year! Hopefully
we'll be back next year. |

We enjoyed our stay at Norma's cabin so much, we
have already reserved a week for next year, and
hope that this will be a long-standing tradition.
The cabin and the services that Norma provides are
like a 5 star hotel! It is true that all you need to
bring is your food! The kitchen is better equipped
than our own! There is plenty of room for even two
families if necessary and everything is ready and
waiting for you when you arrive: comfortable
bedrooms, well stocked bathrooms, computer
access, 4 televisions and a collection of DVDs, a
large patio area with gas grill, and if you're lucky,
some will animals! All this, for a very reasonable
price! We loved it and again want to thank Norma
for helping to make our vacation so enjoyable!
Thanks Norma! :)

| This was our first time to New Hampshire. We couldn't have found a better place to stay. Norma is a wonderful hostess, as well as a great baker. Her homemade goodies were awesome. The cabin was very clean, warm and cozy. Everything we needed during our stay was there, just as she said. It was very centrally located for all the sights we wanted to take in. We would definitely come back again, and highly recommend it to everyone. |

| We recently stayed in Norma's cabin. It was wonderful! The location is perfect for enjoying the White Mountain Region. We were able to travel the Kancamagus Highway, visit Diana's Baths, ride the Conway Scenic Railroad, travel up to the top of Cannon Mountain, hike the Flume Gourge and play at Six Gun City. We ate most of our meals in the cabin. Norma had everything there we could possibly need. The beds were very comfortable. Our children enjoyed her video collection and we all had quality family time with the board games and puzzles. She was the most wonderful hostess. She even baked us a yummy treat to welcome us there :) If you have a chance to rent this property, please do! You will not be disappointed! |

The facilities of Norma's cabin would be hard to improve upon for a vacation home. The tranquil setting and Norma's warm welcome to her home ensure a relaxing stay. Its proximity to the area attractions leaves you with a wide variety of things to do whether you are 6 or 60! The one negative is that Norma cannot guarantee you the siting of a moose! However we did see a black bear and a deer which was great, we hope to return in search of the moose. Thank you Norma for a lovely week.

We stayed there a few weeks ago and let me tell you that this place is exactly as advertised. We received a reply including a quote and additional information right away. The owners were very attentive, friendly but not intrusive.
We almost rented a house in Thornton, but because of the attitude of the owner and the lack of professionalism, we chose this house instead and were not disappointed. The price is right, the house is very clean. We would highly recommend it to anyone looking for the perfect getaway in the area. 10/10! |

| Norma's house is like home away from home. We even have an eagle print like the one hanging in the loft. We had a wonderful week in N.H. and staying at the "cabin in the woods" made it even more fun. Could not have asked for more!!! Norma is a Sweetheart and her chocolates are simply delicious. We are looking forward to our next visit to "The Cabin". |

This cabin was kept very nice and clean. The beds were more confortable than my own. There were all amenities I needed, and all I needed to bring was food.
I would definitely like to stay this cabin again next summer or winter and recomend to anybody.
The owner welcomes you with the 1st class hospitality and kindness. I felt very lucky finding this cabin.
Thank you Norma!

We loved our stay at Norma's cabin! The cabin was
clean and beautiful, and the facilities (stove, grill,
TV's, etc) were very modern. The location is perfect
(near storyland, mountains, swimming, but private
away from crowds and tourists. Our kids (aged 2
and 5) especially loved the loft area and the "talking
deer" in the basement! Norma is a great hostess
and came by to deliver a tea pot when we couldn't
find one. The kitchen has everything you'd need to
eat in the whole time (we ate out only twice). We
will definately come again next summer. I only
hope others don't book it up first! |

We absolutely loved our stay in Norma's cabin. The accommodation's were first class and the space was wonderful. The kid's loved the loft area, my Dad loved the privacy of the basement and we loved the master suite. The beds were so comfortable and the linens so soft. It made our stay in the White Mountains so enjoyable and relaxing. The cabin was centrally located so it was easy to get to all the activities. We just loved our stay there and will definately stay there again. We highly recommend it to anyone considering visiting the White Mountains.
Thanks Norma for the wonderful stay. You have a real gift for hospitality.

| Norma's cabin is like a slice of heaven in the woods! We had a wonderful time in Madison with such great skiing, shopping, and (of course) eating nearby. We have rented many times before, but have never stayed in a home as welcoming, warm or well equipped as Norma's. She is an awesome hostess as she seems to anticipate your every need. Loved every minute of our visit. Will definately be back!! The Galkin Family |

this place is ABSOLUTLY beautiful!! If you want to go there with only a siutcase it would be possible. The owner ( how this the nicest person ever)makes sure that Everything you need is there from toiletries to pots and pans to a plate of freshly bakes goodies waiting for you when you walk in. This place is emaculate. the master bedroom is awesome with its sleep number bed.
I could go on and on. You won't regret a thing if you go with this house. I will definitly make a stay every year from here on out

| By far one of the best places to stay for fun and relaxation in New Hampshire!! Everything is very clean, furnished with new appliances, and decorated for a log cabin feel (the pictures speak for themselves). Not only is it close to the outlets and ski resorts, but this cabin has everything that you will need to make it a home away from home. Also, Norma (owner/host) is one of the warmest and most generous people you will ever meet. We are definitely planning repeat trips back to this place! |

| This was our first vacation in N.H., but we've stayed at many cabins in the past. We had a memorable,pleasurable stay, thanks to the hospitality and first-class accomodations of Norma's cabin. The fresh-baked, homemade goodies greeted our arrival,as did the owner, Norma. She is a sweet,vibrant,outgoing lady who made our stay even more memorable as she showed us through the cabin, remarking how she actually made some of the rustic pieces such as the railings and banisters of materials retrieved from the property itself. We had a great time swapping stories of our own (we have been cutom-building/finishing our own log home) and found it so unique to meet a woman who posesses such a pioneer spirit in everything she does. It definitly showed throughout the home (forget cabin-this place may as well be called your second home-at least you would wish it to be) with all of the special,cozy,warm hearted touches she has placed with special guests in mind. We had a great time there, as well as some of the food to be found while staying there. We had dinner three times alone at the Yankee Smokehouse, and already miss the flavorful,smoky delectables to be found there. The manager of the place actually saw our trailer packed with our motorcycles across the street from the restaurant at the gift shop the day of our departure, and came over to surprise us as we were shopping to say goodbye and good luck. Nice people, those folks up in New Hampshire ;) We would have to say that it was a memorable stay.......Thanks, Norma |

Perfection! This is what Norma strives for in pleasing her guests. In addition to being friendly, she is a truly sincere person.
Upon arrival, we were greeted with delicious, freshly baked goods. The cabin was absolutely immaculate & the decor was indeed cozy. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare all our home-cooked meals. Both bathrooms were well-equipped with plenty of thick towels & cute toiletry baskets. All the beds were arranged with ironed, plush, high-thread count sheets.
We highly recommend this place to anyone because for us, it was a taste of paradise! We'll be back!! |

This was our first time in New Hampshire and we were there for two weeks during the summer. We have stayed in many cabins, but none have been as clean and well kept as Norma's. Her warm welcome and every detail at the cabin made us feel like we were staying with family.
Coming from Florida, we really appreciated the cool weather! The sights are beatiful! We especially enjoyed the view from Wild Cat Mountain and Cathedral Ledge(very close to the cabin). Our two sons were very happy to visit Diana's bath twice and get their feet wet in the shallow pools.
It was a great experience for our family! We really did not want to leave and we definitely want to go back! |

| We stayed 3 days, 2 nights this March during a Noreaster! The cabin was comfortable and cozy with all the modern conveniences...we sipped hot cocoa from LLBean and read books from the local bookstore as the winds whipped and howled outside. The fireplace was roaring and the cabin was warm. We braved the weather for a snowshoeing expedition and had a great time. The driveway was kept plowed and the roads were clear: our 2 wheel drive cavalier had no problems. Come wind or rain, snow or sun, we'll definetly be back! |

| This is our third time at the BEST cozy cabin ever!...and we cannot get enough! We absolutely love it! Two words to sum it up: COMFORTABLE & CONVENIENT! It's like home away from home, and such great access to anything and everything-snowshoeing, hiking, snowboarding/skiing, xc skiing, kayaking, canoeing, site seeing, moose touring, rock climbing, shopping, and great dining!.. etc. Oh, and you cannot forget the most wonderful hostess EVER-THANK YOU NORMA |

We spent last weekend at this property and all I can say is - excellent. It was our first experience of New Hampshire cabin life and a really great place to take my parents who were visiting from the UK. The cabin is spotless, large, impeccably furnished and very homely.
Norma was also very welcoming and regularly emailed me updates on snow and sent brochures on the area so that we could plan our trip.
Anyone considering staying in New Hampshire should consider this cabin - I would give it 5 stars! |

| This was the second January in a row we stayed here. We wouldn't even think of staying any where else in New Hampshire! Norma has created a true vacation paradise. Everything about the cabin is first class. The sheets are of high quality. The towels are new and very thristy! The cabin itself is beautiful and is without question the cleanest and best kept place we have ever rented. For those who like to cook, the pots and pans are of high quality (Calphalon) and there are plenty of nice dishes and utensils to prepare virtually anything. The computer with DSL is very handy and allows us to stay "connected" with home and work. The two gas fireplaces keep the place nice and cozy on even the coldest nights! The location is also excellent. The cabin is on a very private and quiet street yet is close to all major White Mountain attractions. We'll be back!! |

| My husband and I stayed at this cabin with our two children and ALL OF US were SO COMFORTABLE and PLEASED with EVERYTHING! WE DIDN"T WANT TO LEAVE!!!!! After a long day at the Fryeburg Fair, it was so great to be able to come back to such a wonderful haven to relax!! The house was IMMACULATE--extrememly clean, but relaxed enough so we felt like we were visiting a family member. TONS OF SPACE for everyone: the layout of the house is perfect--we even ate outside on the patio in back downstairs which felt like a whole different vacation spot! (There was a nice little trail in the woods out back for us to explore) A pleasant touch of the whole experience was the fact that the owner was so accommodating and friendly. WE WILL BE BACK FOR SURE!!!!! |

We would highly recommend this great cabin! Our family vacationed here during the first week in August. The cabin is new, extremely comfortable and well cared for. The location is tranquil, yet near enough to major attractions.
We visited in the summer, but imagine the Fall and Winter would be beautiful.
The cabin has two gas fireplaces that look as though they put out quite a bit of heat. Skiers can exit from the house and ski aong the trails.
We rode the Auto Road up Mt. Washington~
~ breathtaking and scary! We hiked the Flume and took the railroad up to Crawford Notch. The shops in Conway and Meredith rounded out our trip.
It was a relaxing vacation and over all too soon!
The owner was great and made herself available to answer any questions we had, even offering to send brochures of things that would interest us. Our only regret ~~ no moose! There were signs all over but we never saw any. Maybe the next time!
