Jackson NH-White Mtns-Black Mtn-PRIVATE-Hike,Swim,Kayak,Golf,Fish,StoryLand

Escape the crowds head to this Mountian Hideaway where the air is pure, and has the scent of Balsam Christmas Trees. 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.

We had a great stay at George’s cabin. It was remote but still close to town. Check in was super easy. The cabin was clean and the wood stove was going upon our arrival. George was friendly and available for anything needed. I would stay again!

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.

I would give this property 10 stars if I could. It was the cleanest rental home I have ever stayed in, plus a lot of small touches that made us feel very at home. George was over the top sweet and wonderful - had helpful tips, answered any questions I had immediately and tons of good advice about the area. The location was perfect. We will DEFINITELY be back!

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 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!

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!

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!

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!
