The Little Cabin Retreat is dog-friendly. We invite a maximum of two (2) well-behaved dogs to accompany you during your stay. Dogs must be leashed on and off property. New Hampshire has a leash law.
Please leave pups that scratch, chew, or bark excessively at home. Dogs eligible to stay at our tiny cabin must have no bite history. Certain breeds may not be accepted. Dogs must be crated when left alone in the cabin. We ask that dogs be well-groomed and that ownerâs bring a blanket or bed, so that the dog doesnât use the cabin bedding or furniture.
Please contact us at the time of booking to add a dog to the reservation. There is a non-refundable pet fee of $125 per dog.

Snow Storms
The Cabin is located in the mountains and subject to potentially large snowfalls. The location is rural and the Cabin driveway and walkway to the front door is plowed and shoveled professionally. We cannot control what time of day the plow comes and it's safe to assume the larger the snowfall, the longer the plow delay. The plow may not come for smaller snowfall. A shovel and sand/salt are provided for your convenience. Please monitor weather forecasts prior to your arrival.
