Just steps away from Rainbow Lake in this Dog Friendly Cabin

Get away to our comfortable 2BD/1BA mountain cabin just steps away to Rainbow Lake. Golden Retreat provides the perfect mix of a mountain retreat, while still close enough to all that the White Mountains have to offer.

The cabin sleeps 6 guests for that perfect family get away or romantic retreat. The master BR has a full queen, TV , while the guest room has a queen and bunk beds ( FULL ). All beds are high quality for a comfortable nights rest.

In-floor heating keeps this cozy cabin very comfortable, along with an electric fireplace for heat and ambience. Portable electric heaters are in each room for added comfort if needed. Being at 6800ft elevation, the average summer temperature is in the mid 80's. Open the windows to provide fresh and cool mountain air. On rare occasion it can get in the 90's, so a portable AC is provided for your comfort ( 1 in Main Living/Dining, and 1 in each bedroom ).

In the main room is a 65" flat screen TV, DVD player with Netflix access, high speed internet service, bar, electric heating fireplace and a dining table that seats 7 comfortably. CableTV is provided on all TV's.

Though the kitchen area is small and lacks a full size oven, it does have everything else needed to prepare and serve meals for the whole family.

Outside you will find a wrap around deck with propane BBQ, picnic table and outdoor seating. There is plenty of parking in front m( Gravel Drive ) and room for your boat. The launch ramp and fishing dock is right around the corner!

***We just added a fence around the property for your children & pets to play with no worries of running off.

We are huge animal lover and believe everyone should be allowed to bring their furry kids ( Dog's Only Max 2 ) with them on vacation, however due to prior inconsiderate guests with pets who have damaged the property and unable to pick up after their animals, I am now forced to charge a pet fee of $30 ( Per Pet )(no cats allowed). This property is fenced in so you're doggies can run free. Also being in the Mountains, there are natures insects and animals in the area so stay alert. At busy times the traffic in the vicinity can get pretty hectic.

I have the cabin next door (listing # 2432133) which you can check out the reviews, and then rent both for a great Family event. Plenty of parking so bring your fishing poles and boat up to have some fun in the beautiful White Mountains!!

IMPORTANT INFO: Should you elect to use the INSTANT BOOKING option, no contract to rent is entered into unless the owner and traveler have both signed the owner's written rental agreement and the traveler has paid the deposit. Please note that we DO NOT accept payments from American Express.

This place is just as advertised! We brought up our dog to this fully fenced property with the wrap around patio cover. Very comfortable inside and just steps away from the lake and very short drive to stores nearby.

Great Experience
We loved the wrap around porch, the wrap around grass for the dogs. Rainbow Lake was just around the corner. The street was busy but it didn't bother us. We very much enjoyed our stay and thank Ron and Melissa for the opportunity of sharing this home. We hope and want to re-book if they would have us.

Absolutely Perfect Weekend Getaway!
We brought our golden retriever and our 16-year old daughter for Labor Day Weekend. The location of the property is incredible - just steps from Rainbow Lake. The fenced yard was a godsend for our busy dog. The cabin itself feels very spacious and is well-appointed. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed and the backyard grill looked brand new. This is a great home base for all the hiking, horseback riding, picnicking and fishing that put the White Mountains on the map: we would love to stay again!

If you ever have the opportunity to stay at any of Ron’s properties, please do so. You will not regret it. This place was perfect for our nice weekend getaway. Amenities were great, location was perfect, (right by Rainbow lake) and checkin was super easy and seamless. Thanks again Ron, for being such a great host. We appreciate it!

Pinetop by lake
We very much like the location by the lake. The street doe get a lot of traffic. The AC units are very loud. In the past we didn’t need them but this trip we did need them to stay cool. The yard was supposed to be mowed prior to our stay was t done but dogs didn’t care. Overall we are very happy and most likely will stay here again it would be nice if there were co tiniest small improvements

Wonderful little cabin
Me and and my teenage kids stayed here and fished almost everyday. The lake is so close the kids could walk by themselves. We caught a total of 25 fish between all of us. Very comfortable and located in the perfect place. Ryan

Second time staying here. It’s a great place to get out of the heat and the dogs absolutely love playing in the yard. I stayed four nights and never had to leave the property once it has everything I needed on site. Definitely will be back again.

Pleasant stay
We enjoyed our time here. Ample amounts of blankets and pillows, which was great! Beds were comfortable. I felt that generally speaking everything was well kept and clean. There were webs up in the ceiling rafters, which would make some squeamish, but I didn't feel like it effected our stay much. Rented a boat around the corner - would 100% do that again! The host helped guide where to look for the boat rental. Thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the front porch in the morning with my coffee.

Quaint nature
The space was perfect for our family. Our dog that has never seen grass licking the fenced in yard. The natural animals visited often, we saw geese, squirrels, and a skunk. These are animals we don’t get to see, which we loved. The entertainment system has easy access ports for gaming or devices. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom has heated shower. The lake was very close with options for fishing and the niceties provided by the host was amazing. Thank you again!!
