Weekend Trip to White Mountains Dear Bear Campsite
This was an amazing getaway. The cabin had everything you could need. Craig and his family were really hospitable. Always kept great communication. The cabin is insulated and kept us warm throughout the night. Craig gave us extra blankets and was kind enough to set up the hot water shower for us. The instructions to get there were pretty exact. The location is amazing. 15 minutes to Franconia Notch. Quick 5 minute drive to downtown Littleton. Lots of options to eat there and Bethelem. (Try the skirt steak at El Mirador Restaurant or the Thai Donuts at Taste the Thai). A power generator is available in the cabin for charging your stuff as well.

I loved camping here! The view is one of a kind and it’s literally jaw dropping in person. The port a pottie was super clean and the host had some water available which was awesome! I wouldn’t say the site is super private as it’s right next to the hosts house, however they can’t see you unless they’re going up and down their driveway. With that being said, the host was lovely and very kind. She made sure we had enough blankets as it was chilly at night and the bed was so comfortable! I would definitely come back if I was in the area!

Group trip
Brookside Retreat was perfect for our family weekend getaway. All we brought was our clothes, personal items & food, everything else was provided. Kevin & Alicia were attentive and quick to respond to any questions we had. They are gracious hosts. The beds are very comfortable and it was a great set-up. I would stay here again and will be recommending it to our friends & family!

Weekend Trip to Shaker Mountain Refuge
This was an exceptionally beautiful location with a friendly host and a very comfortable bed. There was a refreshing pond to swim in, and we could see the sunrise from the bed. What a magical space. 10/10. Thank you for your hospitality and generosity with the free wood! Would love to come back.

My partner was hesitant about going camping for the first time (city-raised), and I was able to convince them with the promise of a comfortable bed and a place to swim. Staying in the lean-to absolutely exceeded both of our expectations! The bed is so comfortable, and the views are unbeatable. We got to watch the moon rise up over the mountains our first night there! Truly magical. Waking up to a sunrise at our feet was so special and stunning. We floated in the pond for hours and met many frogs and newts, along with one sweet turtle. I cannot recommend this place enough, and we can’t wait to be back!!

2 nights at White Mountains Dear Bear Campsite
The cabin had everything I needed. It was a comfortable bed in a solid little shed. The property was nice, though the outdoor spaces could have used some organizing/feng shui. I would not want to stay here to spend quality time on the property, but as a home base for hiking and checking out surrounding areas, it worked great!

Loved this creekside setup, very peaceful and private with plenty to keep kids and adults occupied. Really thoughtful set up, well equipped kitchen, comfy cots. Would love to visit again.

Weekend Trip to Shaker Mountain Refuge
Amazing doesn’t even begin to cover it. This place is beautiful beyond description. And the accommodations are exceptional. The bed in the lean-to is worthy of a 5 star hotel. The spring-fed pond is lovelier than any swimming pool. And the porta-potty is the cleanest one I’ve ever seen. I feel so lucky to have had the chance to spend a little time here.

Medora’s coyote lean-to is adorable and the views are absolutely stunning! The bed was comfy, the toilet clean, and we appreciated that firewood and kindling were included. Medora and her two dogs (Cookie and Posy) are sweet as can be.

My family of 4 and friend’s family of 3 took our annual camping trip at the Brookside retreat! Had a great time, everything needed was provided (super convenient), tents and beds were comfortable, and sound of the brook soothing! All in all, adults and kids alike had a wonderful weekend!

Craig was an extremely responsive host...often responding in a few minutes. He stopped by for a bike ride and to show me around the campsite. We stayed in what was a storage shed outfitted with beds, chairs, solar USB charger, a dresser and a 5 gal. water cooler. It was hot and stuffy in there, but we brought a battery powered fan which kept us cool. The shed was extremely clean. We used the composting toilet, which worked fine. There are picnic tables, a fire ring and a fire pit. There is also a gas grill that we did not use.
Campsite is a 15 minute drive from Franconia Notch State Park and 5 minutes from downtown Littleton, which has plenty of eateries, a movie theatre and retail stores.

Kevin and Alicia were great hosts, very responsive. The site was beautiful and had everything we needed to enjoy our weekend. We traveled with our 3 year old, who was thrilled to see a couple of swings set up on the property. The tents and beds were very comfortable.
