North Conway, New Hampshire
Bear Lair Retreat – A Cozy Cabin Near North Conway, NH
Sleeps 8 | 3 Bedrooms | 2 Full Baths | Hot Tub | Dog-Friendly
About This Property
Start your morning with coffee on the wraparound porch, then end the day gathered around the fire pit, grilling dinner, or soaking in the private hot tub under the stars. The hot tub is open year-round, making it just as good after a summer day on the river as it is on a crisp fall or snowy winter evening.
In the warmer months, Saco River access is just a short walk down the quiet dirt road, perfect for swimming, floating, or spending an afternoon by the water. In winter, you’ll still have that peaceful tucked-away setting while being only about 15 minutes from shopping, restaurants, and everything happening in town.
Tucked away enough to feel like a true mountain getaway, but close enough to easily enjoy everything the area has to offer. And because vacations are better when the dog comes too, this home is dog-friendly.

Experience Every Season
One of the best things about staying in North Conway is that every season brings something new to discover, and this home puts you close to all of it.
Summer
Spend summer days exploring everything the Mount Washington Valley has to offer. Cool off along the Saco River, hike nearby White Mountain trails, or head into North Conway for shopping, dining, and family attractions. Back at Bear Lair Retreat, fire up the grill, relax on the porch, gather around the fire pit, and end the evening with a soak in the private hot tub.
Fall
Fall puts you right in the middle of some of New Hampshire's most spectacular foliage. Take a scenic drive along the Kancamagus Highway, explore nearby trails, or spend the afternoon enjoying North Conway. After a crisp day in the mountains, head back to the cabin for a fire outside or cozy up by the wood-burning stove before relaxing in the hot tub.
Winter
Make Bear Lair Retreat your cozy home base for a White Mountains winter getaway. Spend the day skiing or snowboarding at nearby Cranmore and other Mount Washington Valley ski areas, explore snowy trails, or enjoy everything North Conway has to offer. Come home, warm up by the wood stove, and unwind in the year-round hot tub surrounded by the quiet winter woods.
Spring
Spring brings a quieter side of the White Mountains, with rushing waterfalls, warming trails, and fewer crowds throughout the Valley. Explore scenic drives, venture into North Conway, or simply slow down and enjoy the peaceful wooded setting. Finish the day around the fire pit or soaking in the hot tub as the mountains come back to life.
