Family Friendly Lakefront Cedar Log Cabin on 2 acres at Rainbow Lake.

Beautiful, newly remodeled(2012) real cedar log cabin with AC lakefront on Rainbow Lake. Our 4 bed, 2 bath, 2 story log cabin is nestled among the tall pine trees and right on the water. Enjoy 2 private acres of lakefront on Rainbow Lake with incredible views. Cedar log cabin with gorgeous knotty pine ceilings throughout and a brand new custom kitchen with pine cabinetry. Perfect for a romantic getaway or a family trip. You can fish all day, take a walk in the pines or just sit back and relax on the 1200 square foot deck overlooking the beautiful lake. 5 minutes from shopping and fine dining, 30 minutes to Sunrise Ski Resort! Comfortably sleeps 10 but can handle many more.

All the comforts of home but tastefully authentic log cabin experience in a fantastic location on the shore of Rainbow Lake. Whether you ski or fish, or just like a great book by the fire, our cabin has what you need. Unplug and unwind in the White Mountains in a beautiful setting.

Our lakefront Cabin features a HD SmartTV with streaming capability, Dish Network, Blu-ray player and sound system. We have a fully stocked kitchen with dishwasher and indoor laundry. The bedrooms are warm and inviting with quality mattresses and linens. The home is clean and updated, cozy and charming yet simply styled to allow family’s to relax and play together.

The outdoor space is truly amazing. A large oversized deck overlooks the private shoreline of Rainbow Lake. We provide a kayak for our guest’s use and encourage you to explore the natural beauty of Rainbow Lake. The Lake has multiple species of fish including Carp,Trout,Catfish,Bass and Pike. You will also likely see majestic Bald Eagles nesting in our large Oak tree on the shore. After a long day of fishing or kayaking, what better way to bond them enjoying s’mores and a campfire in our fire ring by the water.

Perfect Family Vacation

We booked this cabin to stay for 5 days with our 4 little boys. We specifically chose this cabin based on the location of it being lakefront. We wanted access to fishing the entire trip. We caught well over 100 fish during our stay! We were shocked! The cabin was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed plus more. I was pleased to find a chair to use for my toddler at the dining table, kid’s plates/cups/utensils. We used the grill on the huge deck every night. It was conveniently located close to town, making for easy trips for more bait, groceries, etc. It was just beyond perfect. We are already talking about booking again for next summer!

Exceeded expectations!

Our family took a last minute trip up to Lakeside and we were thrilled to find this property directly on the water. The cabin was perfect for our needs, was very well equipped for cooking, and the beds were extra comfy! Our family of eight plus two grandparents fit just right. The large deck and spacious yard gave us lots of additional living space to stretch out in. We had a blast fishing, kayaking, and generally playing around in the yard. We loved the gorgeous views and the Cottonwood trees framed the lake perfectly. We’re already planning another trip back!

Lake Fun

The cabin was just what we needed for a fun weekend getaway! Each adult had their own cozy room, and the kids shared a space perfect for their adventures. The best part? The lake was practically in our backyard! We spent our days fishing and kayaking, making some amazing memories together. When it started to get a little chilly, we all gathered around a warm fire outside, sharing stories and laughing away. The kids loved snuggling up by the fireplace inside, too. The big backyard was perfect for them to run around and play freely. The neighbors were super friendly, which made the experience even more enjoyable. We can't wait to come back to this wonderful cabin again!

Relaxing Bachelor Party

The cabin was awesome. It was as advertised. As well, it was supplied with all the items we needed to make it owe temporary home. The fire pit was great for a relaxing evening. We also enjoyed taking the warm weather on the beautiful deck. What's more, we loved watching the World Series on the satellite TV in the living room. Lastly, the cabin's location was just a jaunt to restaurants and supplies.

Peaceful and Quiet

This was my birthday get away with my 2 daughters and granddaughter. Our ages are 28, 42, 52 and 76. We primarily relaxed in the yard enjoying the birds, geese, deer and kayakers floating by. The house had everything you could need for a nice stay; the kitchen had an abundance of items. We never turned on the television and mostly enjoyed the outdoors.

A treasure of a home

From our first interaction upon booking until our communication upon leaving, we had very attentive communication by the hosts. Their home provided fishing and beach play for our 6 grandchildren and more than ample indoor and outdoor space. We love Rainbow Lake and this home provided the best of everything as we enjoyed one more summer vacation on the lake. You know a review says it all hen the guests say they will return; you bet we plan on returning to this home.

Great Home

There were 10 of us and we thought it might be a little tight based on the pictures. However, we felt it was larger than the pictures represented, especially in the family room. We loved it! Being able to just slide our kayaks into the lake from the front yard was great.

Slice of Heaven

Our family has visited Rainbow Lake for years and we never quite found the right place to stay until now. This cabin was all that we needed, wanted and more! The home was stocked with plenty of linens, games, water toys (kayak) and the porch was amazing. The home is tucked away off the road so you feel secluded. While you are enjoying the porch and direct water access there is a wooden fence for privacy from the neighbors without feeling closed in. We did enjoy some music on the smart tv and felt at ease with cooking on the grill and in the fully stocked kitchen. We've already looked into booking th property for a longer stay next summer.

Amazing Getaway

Absolutely incredible waterfront stay. The kids stayed entertained fishing and running around on the property. The adults lounged and enjoyed taking in the beautiful scenery. The “cabin” has everything you need and then some. Paul was quick to respond with any questions we had and over all very easy to deal with!
