Just steps away from Rainbow Lake in this Dog Friendly Cabin

Get away to our comfortable 2BD/1BA mountain cabin just steps away to Rainbow Lake. Golden Retreat provides the perfect mix of a mountain retreat, while still close enough to all that the White Mountains have to offer.

The cabin sleeps 6 guests for that perfect family get away or romantic retreat. The master BR has a full queen, TV , while the guest room has a queen and bunk beds ( FULL ). All beds are high quality for a comfortable nights rest.

In-floor heating keeps this cozy cabin very comfortable, along with an electric fireplace for heat and ambience. Portable electric heaters are in each room for added comfort if needed. Being at 6800ft elevation, the average summer temperature is in the mid 80's. Open the windows to provide fresh and cool mountain air. On rare occasion it can get in the 90's, so a portable AC is provided for your comfort ( 1 in Main Living/Dining, and 1 in each bedroom ).

In the main room is a 65" flat screen TV, DVD player with Netflix access, high speed internet service, bar, electric heating fireplace and a dining table that seats 7 comfortably. CableTV is provided on all TV's.

Though the kitchen area is small and lacks a full size oven, it does have everything else needed to prepare and serve meals for the whole family.

Outside you will find a wrap around deck with propane BBQ, picnic table and outdoor seating. There is plenty of parking in front m( Gravel Drive ) and room for your boat. The launch ramp and fishing dock is right around the corner!

***We just added a fence around the property for your children & pets to play with no worries of running off.

We are huge animal lover and believe everyone should be allowed to bring their furry kids ( Dog's Only Max 2 ) with them on vacation, however due to prior inconsiderate guests with pets who have damaged the property and unable to pick up after their animals, I am now forced to charge a pet fee of $30 ( Per Pet )(no cats allowed). This property is fenced in so you're doggies can run free. Also being in the Mountains, there are natures insects and animals in the area so stay alert. At busy times the traffic in the vicinity can get pretty hectic.

I have the cabin next door (listing # 2432133) which you can check out the reviews, and then rent both for a great Family event. Plenty of parking so bring your fishing poles and boat up to have some fun in the beautiful White Mountains!!

IMPORTANT INFO: Should you elect to use the INSTANT BOOKING option, no contract to rent is entered into unless the owner and traveler have both signed the owner's written rental agreement and the traveler has paid the deposit. Please note that we DO NOT accept payments from American Express.

Perfect location and home for family time. Brother and kids enjoyed the space, and it was a comfortable place for Aunts and Uncle to join for bugers and dogs on the new grill. Steps to Rainbow Lake and a great forest walk across the dam.

Second time staying here. It’s a great place to get out of the heat and the dogs absolutely love playing in the yard. I stayed four nights and never had to leave the property once it has everything I needed on site. Definitely will be back again.

Great spot for fishing trip

This place had everything we needed and was a fun place to stay. The dogs having grass and a yard was an awesome plus! Very short walk to Rainbow Lake and a dock that was perfect for fishing. Would definitely recommend, especially to those with dogs!

The place was walking distance from the lake. It was very nice and charming atmosphere. We enjoyed sitting on the porch and just speaking with all the neighbors. The place was very roomie and cozy. I can imagine winter stay being very nice.

Highly Recommend

The Golden Retreat has a nice open concept, pet friendly with a nice large yard, and there was more accommodations than expected (dish soap, hand soap, toilet paper, shampoo and conditioner, and an few fun board games). We would recommend it to anyone needing a quiet vacation from the city!

Great time!

We had a fantastic time staying at this property. Ron was a great host and in contact as needed. The house is located very close to the lake, which we enjoyed for short walks with our dog. Always nice when you visit to go skiing and a snow storm comes that week! We made a nice snowman at the house and had a great time.

Very dog friendly

I have two dogs that I never leave behind. So to find a very dog friendly place to stay like this was a dream. Location was great with really good walking areas and fenced in yard. The lake is pretty much out the front door. Restaurants and stores are short drive away. And I’ve already booked it to come back again.

Pleasant stay

We enjoyed our time here. Ample amounts of blankets and pillows, which was great! Beds were comfortable. I felt that generally speaking everything was well kept and clean. There were webs up in the ceiling rafters, which would make some squeamish, but I didn't feel like it effected our stay much. Rented a boat around the corner - would 100% do that again! The host helped guide where to look for the boat rental. Thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the front porch in the morning with my coffee.

Pinetop by lake

We very much like the location by the lake. The street doe get a lot of traffic. The AC units are very loud. In the past we didn’t need them but this trip we did need them to stay cool. The yard was supposed to be mowed prior to our stay was t done but dogs didn’t care. Overall we are very happy and most likely will stay here again it would be nice if there were co tiniest small improvements

Enjoyable stay. It was clean and yard was a great plus for our pets. I was glad there was kitchen condiments- salt, pepper, storage bags, etc. I wish there was a slider door to back yard from bedroom because front yard faces a Main Street and can be noisy at times. I recommend this VRBO as Ron was very responsive to any issue we may have had. Plenty of refrigerators too.
