5 Trending Rentals in New Hampshire That People Book on Repeat (And We See Why)

Discover five top-rated vacation rentals in New Hampshire, from rustic log cabins to charming lakeside guesthouses.

If you’re planning a getaway, you’ll find that some vacation rentals check all the right boxes—charm, comfort, a great location, and fully-stocked amenities. We rounded up five Airbnbs in New Hampshire that perfectly fit this description. All of them have “Guest Favorite” accreditations, plus a rating of 4.9 stars or higher. These trending vacation rentals in New Hampshire also show off the state’s best scenery, from scenic mountains to dense forests. 

1.  A-Frame Cabin in Alexandria

With a 4.97-star rating, this wooden A-frame Airbnb is one of the top 10% of homes on the booking website, which means it’s often difficult to find availability. Guests particularly love the unique layout of the house. The main living space is down below, while the sleep loft is located in the “tip” of the A-frame, accessed by a nine-foot ladder. You can take in views of the surrounding woods from the wall-to-wall king-sized bed! 

Other amenities include a coffee and tea station, a kitchenette, a fire pit, a deck, and a diverse woodland ecosystem right in the backyard. Note that the cabin doesn't come with a flushing toilet, and you’ll use an eco-friendly sawdust toilet that’s located in a nearby heated bathhouse. 

2. Pastoral Farm Guesthouse in Loudon

This charming Airbnb swaps mountains and forests for a pastoral farm. With its rural hilltop setting and modern farmhouse decor style, it’s no surprise this “guest favorite” Airbnb was rated 4.98 stars. It was also designated one of the top 5% of homes on the website.

The Airbnb is slightly bigger than a tiny house, and it’s equipped with a queen bed, a kitchenette stocked with the necessities, a full bathroom, exposed brick details, and wooden accents. Wildlife is also abundant in the area, making it perfect for nature lovers.

3. Crafted Home in Thornton

Are you looking to stay in New Hampshire’s iconic White Mountain National Forest? This custom Airbnb in the woods, referred to as “the Niche,” could be the ideal destination. On the lower level, you’ll find an open floor plan featuring a living room, dining room, bathroom, and kitchen equipped with the basics. Venture upstairs for two sleeping spaces (with a king bed and queen bed). 

Chances are, you’ll spend lots of time outside the house, whether it’s relaxing on the expansive covered patio or gathering around the fire pit. It almost feels like your own private forested oasis! Take a short drive to the White Mountain National Forest for days spent hiking, swimming, or skiing. 

4. Lake and Ski Chalet in Barnstead

Whether you prefer relaxing on the beach or hitting the slopes, this lakefront chalet Airbnb is an ideal home base. It comfortably sleeps six people across three bedrooms, and it also features a stocked kitchen, wood-burning stove, hot tub, fire pit, and supplies for the lake (such as life vests and kayaks). Guests especially love the floor-to-ceiling windows that perfectly frame the surrounding area. 

During the summer, you can enjoy various outdoor activities in the area, such as kayaking, paddleboarding, swimming, fishing, biking, or hiking. Winter is prime time for skiing and snow tubing, as the chalet is about 30 minutes from Gunstock Mountain Resort

5. Log Cabin in Haverhill

What better way to immerse yourself in New Hampshire’s wilderness than a stay at a log cabin? This Airbnb in Haverhill is decked out in rustic details, from black bear decorations to wooden walls. It’s also equipped with everything you need for your stay, including a queen-sized bed, spacious bathroom, fully-equipped kitchen, three flat-screen TVs, and more. 

The private backyard offers scenic views during every season, though it’s particularly beautiful during the fall when the foliage shows off its colors. The log cabin isn’t too far from New Hampshire's White Mountains, and it received a near-perfect 4.95-star rating on Airbnb.
