LOCATION/ACCESS:

The White Mountains National Recreation Area has over 200 miles of winter trails with several cozy log cabins built at scenic locations along the trail system. These remote cabins are used by skiers, dog mushers and snowmachiners. The wet and marshy trail conditions allow only one of these cabins (Lee's Cabin) to be suitable for summer use. There is one cabin near the roadside (Fred Blixt), which is not part of the White Mountains system, but which is also available for rent (year-round).

RESERVATIONS/COST:

Cabins must be reserved and can be booked up to 30 days in advance by mail, telephone or in person. The fees are $20/cabin/night for weekends, and $15/cabin/night for weekdays, and must be paid at the time of reservation. Credit cards are accepted for payment. Use is limited to three consecutive nights per cabin. Carry your payment receipt with you as proof that you have reserved the cabin.
