Jackson NH -Black Mtn-Groomed Cross CountryTrails, Downhill,Off Grid On Grid

Escape the crowds head to this Unique Mountian Hideaway where the air is pure, and has the scent of Balsam Christmas Trees. Can drive right to the door until snow builds up. Then its a 300 yard hike to cabin, pack sleds provided. Due to extensive use the trail is packed down. At 77 yrs I have no trouble making the trek in, also caretaker /cleaning lady and repeat guests have no issue. Although if not in good physical shape I would not recommend it. Upon arrival cabin well lit, woodstove burning and cabin cozy. This modern and attractive log cabin sits high on Black Mountain (Ck out photo of location), Jackson NH. It’s surrounded by the privacy of the White Mountain National Forest. It has the feel of being in the wilderness, but minutes to civilization. On a clear night step outside and shut off the lights, you can almost touch the stars, and hear a pin drop. The privacy and spectacular views truly add to this great log cabin.The interior is handsomely furnished, 2 bedrooms, and loft sleeps 6. A granite countered kitchen which is fully equipped - garlic press to wine glasses. Wood stove fireplace is in main open concept common room area adjacent to dining, and living room areas. The lower walkout level contains a finished recreation room with flat screen/DVD, there is a large film selection.The cell signal is strong , and internet can be accessed on laptop through hot spot on cell. This Magnificent Hideaway is on The White Mtn National Forest Trail System - Bald Land Trail, East Pasture Loop, and Black Mtn Cabin groomed x country trails are right out the door. Jackson Ski Touring maintains 62 miles of groomed trails in the town. At bottom of road is completely renovated Black Mtn Downhill Slopes. And within 20 minutes are Cranmore , Attitash, and Wildcat downhill slopes. A 5 minute ride to Jackson Village, offers some top notch restaurants and taverns all family friendly. People have chosen Jackson for their vacation destination since the 1800’s,and for many good reasons. The town of North Conway is a 20 min ride- tax free shopping and plenty of taverns & restaurants. Cabin is 60 miles from the Maine Coast and 125 miles from Boston. State of NH Meals & Rentals License #101491

Slice of paradise

A mountain paradise! A touch rustic but a perfect family friendly option for myself and three teenage boys. Dog friendly - a huge bonus! Just a short drive from Jackson, the river, and Pinkham Notch AMC Visitor Center. We will definitely be back.

Another fabulous stay here

Our family has been coming here for years and we absolutely love it. Our youngest was 7 when we first came and now he is 22! Relax with a book, go for a hike, go for a run or xc ski on the nearby trails, fall asleep in the grass, cook up a good meal, enjoy each other’s company without tv or constant internet distractions. It’s cabin living as it should be. George could teach a masterclass on being the best owner for renters; he’s truly one of our favorite people ever.

The perfect quiet getaway.

The definition of serenity. A perfect full size cabin nestled in the woods on the side of a mountain that is as far away as you can be without having to go far away. Our family visited in February for a snow-cation and we weren’t disappointed at all. George, the owner, was very responsive and provided a wealth of recommendations for local amenities and activities. The cabin had all we needed. We even spent two days just in the cabin itself relaxing, reading by the fire, and playing board games. An escape from reality our family desperately needed. I am certain that we will make our way back to “ Thistle Rock!”

Awesome cabin and location

The cabin was absolutely beautiful. Perfectly clean and well organized. The location couldn't be more perfect as it is 10 minutes away from Storyland, Living Shores Aquarium and Jackson Falls. We were traveling with an infant and he had so much fun and loved playing in the front yard pushing his lawn mower up and down the hill! We loved the fact that the cabin was extremely dog friendly and our dog could travel with us. George was very accommodating and very responsive to all of the text messages. We will be coming back and going to Santa's village next time! Thanks again, Alice and George!

Beautiful Cabin

My family and I enjoyed our short stay at the cabin. It was peaceful, clean and relaxing environment! George was very communicative especially helpful with guidance in the area and hosting. There are additional costs for the cabin to use linens and trash pickup. I appreciate he offered us the opportunity to take our own linens, towels and dispose of our trash to save on costs. I also had some transportation issues on my side getting there and George was flexible. Nice memories in New Hampshire thanks to the cozy cabin!

A wonderful getaway to unplug and recharge

From the minute we booked, George was incredibly friendly and helpful, sending us directions, restaurant reccomendations, and helpful videos to help ensure our stay is as good as possible! He called me as soon as we arrived to welcome us and give us an opportunity in case we had any questions. This cabin was wonderfully secluded and I don't think I've EVER seen so many stars at night. The cabin was also so welcoming, and decorated like an outdoorsmens dream! I will say, as the description already says, you will need 4/all wheel drive for the driveway in the snow/mud season. Also be aware that many of Jackson's restaurants are closed in the beginning days of the week, but North Conway is a short drive to many restaurants and shopping! Overall it's a great place to unplug and reconnect with loved ones and the great outdoors!

nature and peaceful

This is the perfect small cabin in the woods! Up a dead end road where the forest trails (ski and hike) begin. For folks who like nature and a calming place. The owner was always available by text and most helpful. It is heated by woodstove 80%, has good cell phone reception, lots of dvds. Center of Jackson with good restaurants 6 min. away. We are planning to return.

Beautiful secluded cabin with a lovely wood stove

We love the Jackson and Conway areas of New Hampshire. Great for hiking and kayaking, also great food (though more in Conway). This was the perfect place we needed for our anniversary weekend away, free of distractions. The ONE negative: I get charging $25 for bed linens and towels, as laundry is a significant additional effort. But charging the same for trash removal? We lugged a bag of garbage 200 miles back home. Guests shouldn't have to do that. Trash disposal is a basic service and shouldn't be extra. Didn't affect my overall view of the place that much, but it wasn't a nice end of the trip.

Rustic Woodland Cabin

Do not hesitate to rent this place! It has the feel of a remote mountain cabin and is a real Jackson, NH experience. You also have all the amenities and more for comfort. The place is right next to ski trails and National Forest. There is plenty of cool local history to explore in his place as well. George is an amazing communicator and is a conscientious host who genuinely cares about his guests and their experience at Thistlerock. His caretaker Alice does a great job preparing the place for your visit. Do not hesitate to give it a try. Also...Thanks for sharing your place to others!
