This Charming New Hampshire Airbnb Is Straight Out of a Hallmark Movie

The White Mountains of New Hampshire are gorgeous year-round, but they are extra magical when covered with white, fluffy snow in the winter. I can’t think of a more charming backdrop to celebrate the holiday season. As skiers glide down the region's rolling slopes, skaters make fancy spins and quick turns on frozen ponds, and the flakes swirl down upon the shoulders of shoppers strolling through local village squares, everything about this quaint New England area is reminiscent of a classic Hallmark movie. There is only one thing that can make this scene even more picture-perfect, and that is a cozy stay at an incredible cabin such as the one that I am about to share with you.

In the heart of Bretton Woods, you can find a special property tucked into a quiet area, surrounded by mature evergreen trees. This large but cozy cabin called the Owl Roost is the perfect spot for a relaxing winter getaway with friends or family. The highly-rated rental sleeps up to eight guests.

This stunning three-bedroom home is full of amazing architectural details and adorable rustic touches. The house was inspired by a yurt, giving it a unique dome-like design. Step inside and you will find an incredible spiral staircase that is actually carved around a preserved tree. 

The Owl Roost is loaded with outstanding amenities such as a modern kitchen, a large deck, and a private beach. And it gets even better! How about your very own ice skating rink? Yes, you read that correctly. There is actually a private 25x45-foot outdoor rink where you can twirl and spin to your heart’s delight.

When you grow cold, there are lots of ways to warm your frosty toes. Head inside and curl up on the comfy couch next to the toasty soapstone wood stove. Or if you want to head back outdoors, you can gather round the fire pit or rest your weary bones in the steamy hot tub while you sit back and soak up the woodsy views.

And there is so much cold-weather fun to experience beyond the home. The Airbnb is set on 32 acres of gorgeous land that contains more than two miles of private trails where you can cross-country ski, snowshoe, or just take a wintery walk through the woods. The popular Bretton Woods Ski Area is only two minutes away, and there are lots of great restaurants nearby, including Fabyan's Station, a unique eatery housed in a historic train depot. For some indoor exercise, guests also have the option of purchasing a day pass to use the gym and pool at the nearby Mountain View Grand Resort.
