Photos and Description of the Whitefield vacation house rental
3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, pull out sofa bed, sleeps up to 6 adults

Our home away from home sits on top of Dalton Mountain Ridge and offers a 270 degree view of the Presidential Range overlooking Forest Lake State Park and Burns Pond. We feel this is among the best views in NH. Enjoy complete privacy on 15 acres with no visible neighbors and get away from it all. No deadlines and no worries. Of course for those of who just have to be connected (like my husband!) we have broadband internet and Dish TV. AT&T and Verizon enjoys good service. If you choose to stay at home for the day enjoy the wood fireplace inside, fire pit outside, two big screen TV's, 2 XBOX's (one Xbox and one Xbox 360), two BlueRay players, books and an assortment of board games. Venturing out? See the list of local attractions below. Drive to the bottom of the Mountain and you are at Forest Lake State Park which offers a beach, fishing, swimming, boating and grills and tables for a cookout. We are also minutes from the Connecticut River and Moore Hydroelectric Dam.

General Aviation Package: Mount Washington Regional Airport (KHIE) is a short 10 minutes from the house. Fly into the 4,001 foot runway. Park your plane in our hanger (big enough for a Cessna 414A). Take our Ford Excursion and go up to the house to enjoy your vacation. See www.airnav.com for airport specifics.

Pricing for Package: Please contact owner for further information regarding aviation package.

About Melissa Whelan

We are a family that fell in love with the Great North Woods and the White Mountains more than 30 years ago. This home has been just the place to raise our children to appreciate nature and demonstrate to them that balance is important.

Melissa Whelan purchased this house in 2006
Why Melissa Whelan chose Whitefield

After visiting the White Mountains and the Great North Woods for the past 30 years, we searched for a place to call our own. A local agent recommended this rural road to us and after a winter and spring of driving the area, we stumbled upon this home. We hope you find it to be as magical for your family as it has been for ours.

What makes this house unique

The view from the front porch is the defining quality of our vacation home. It cannot be described but only experienced. Pictures do not adequately represent the experience. Try it for yourself and see if this is exaggeration!

We are located in the Great North Woods of New Hampshire. You don't have to leave the front porch to view foliage, wildlife and the entire Presidential Range. We are 5 minutes to both Forest Lake State Park and the Connecticut River, 15 minutes to Santa's Village and Six Gun City, 45 minutes to Story Land. We are also 15 minutes to downtown Littleton, voted one of America's Best Towns in 2005 by Outside Magazine. Whitefield is 10 minutes away and has a Summer Theater and the Mountain View Grand Hotel. 20 Minutes gets you to Bretton Woods or Cannon Mountain. Climb Mount Washington by car or ride the Cog Railway. 15 minutes to Bethlehem and great antiquing. North Conway is a 45 minute scenic drive through Crawford's Notch - be sure to plan time to stop and view the amazing waterfalls along the route. If you can't find anything in New Hampshire, Vermont is just across the Connecticut River. St. Johnsbury is a short 30 minute drive. There is something for everyone!

Other Activities: The choice is yours at our home. You can sit by the fire and read the entire day. Sit on the porch and contemplate life as you take in the entire Presidential Mountain Range. Start a fire in the outdoor fire pit surrounded by adirondak chairs (spring summer and fall) and cook smores. Or get out and hike the White Mountains. Local sights to see include Chutters, the longest candy counter in the world located in nearby Littleton. Littleton's famous Pollyanna is a bronze statue located downtown at the library. Children of all ages show anticipation during the short 25 minute drive to Santa's Village and Six Gun City. Mountain View Grand, Mt. Washington Hotel, Wamback, Maplewood and Bethlehem Country Club are all golf courses within a 30 minute drive. After a long day out or in, a must is relaxing in the hot tub on the deck. If you are lucky and have a clear night, be sure to look for the milky way and count the shooting stars.

Golf: Mt. View Grand 6 minute drive - 9 hole golf course with two t-boxes per hole for an 18 hole experience.

Mt. Washington Hotel 20 minute drive - Recently renovated 18 hole and 9 hole championship course originally designed by Donald Ross and renovated to his specifications in 2009.

Waumbeck - Jefferson NH - 10 minute drive has the distinction of being the oldest golf course in NH. Picturesque views of the Presidential Range as you play.

Maplewood Golf Course - 10 minute drive 18 hole golf course designed by Donald Ross - drainage is iffy - check course conditions before playing if the weather is wet.

Ski: 20 minutes to Bretton Woods offers an amazing zip line canopy tour (all year round), horseback riding and hiking in the summer and and down hill and cross country skiing in the winter

20 minutes to Cannon Mountain

35 minutes to Loon Mountain - many summer and winter activities

Notes: We are at the top of a mountain. IN THE WINTER A 4X4 or AWD VEHICLE IS NECESSARY! One is available for rent upon request. We are not responsible if you cannot get up the driveway. Trust us - we've had to trudge up the 1/4 mile driveway in the snow when our front-wheel drive vehicle wouldn't make it up - it's not fun!

Beautiful vacation rental home! We'll be back!!!

Beautiful vacation rental home! We'll be back!!!

Submitted: July 21, 2009 Stayed: July 2009
The home and land are absolutely beautiful. The sites to see are relatively close; within 15 to 40 minutes depending on what you want to see. The house is very clean and there is a basket in the master bedroom containing almost anything you may have forgotten to pack for toiletries.
The view from the back deck is absolutely amazing; especially while relaxing in the hot tub!! A wonderful thing about the layout of the house~ there are sliding doors between the family and living room area; each side has a television. John and I were able to watch our own shows on the large T.V. and Alysha was able to watch her DVD's adjasent to us in the other part of the room; that was very relaxing for us! The master bedroom bed is very inviting and the bed is very comfortable. When you awake in the morning, the moutains and sun are kissing each other~it's a beautiful sight. The jaccuzzi in the master bath is also very relaxing.
We had a wonderful time here. No neighbors to be bothered by. The hot tub was hot (Great) not like some other rentals we have had. The ammenities were wonderful! There are Great binoculars that the owners provide to view the moutains from the back deck. We recommend this vacation home to everyone visiting the White Mountains or the North woods Regions of New Hampshire. Thank you for letting us use your home! It was a wonderful vacation! John, Cyndi and Alysha :)
Recommended for:  Age 55+, Pet-friendly, Adventure Seekers, Girls Getaway, Sightseeing, Families with Teenagers, Families with Young Children, Romantic Getaway
Owner's Response: We have made our home especially family friendly. Children don't even have to leave the house to have fun. But, we also want it to be relaxing for the parents. The hot tub is a great way to end a long day at Santa's Village. We hope John, Cyndi and Alysha come again.

My husband & I, our three children, and my parents, stayed one week here in this mountain paradise!! This place lacked nothing! There was lots of room for everyone. Lots of books, games, etc. The jacuzzi & hot tub were both wonderful! And last but definitely not least . . . the amazing view!!! The view would change throughout the day and we were forever grabbing the camera for pictures.
We hope to be able to come back next year with friends.

Best Weekend Ever!!

5 of 5
Submitted: March 6, 2012 Stayed: March 2012
We have stayed in many places in New Hampshire from Bed & Breakfast's, Cabins and other rental homes and this place is far sure the best. When we were driving up the mountain to our detestation all we could think of is how amazing this is and how your away from it all, when they say "In Plane View" the are not kidding! Our stay here was memorable, it's perfect for a group there was 6 of us and the accommodations were perfect! We loved the fireplace nothing better then waking up to a roaring fire every morning. The hot tub was a sure plus and the view is BREATHTAKING the pictures do it no justice, you just have to see it for yourself! We hope to be back again for another stay we enjoyed it tremendously, from the sledding right in the yard, to the coziness of the home and to discovering the Town of Littleton, you have to eat at the Littleton Diner best breakfast in town! Thank you to the Whelan's for making this weekend a sure treat and for letting us share in your little piece of heaven.
Owner's Response: Thank you so much Allyson for the wonderful review. I truely believe our home is Paradise - New Hampshire style. I really makes you exhale release all of you tension and so WOW!! My favorite thing to do is curl up with a good book by the fireplace in the comfortable large chairs looking out at Mt. Washington. I am really glad you discovered Littleton. It is such a wonderful old fashioned town. It is great to just stroll the street and window shop. It has a little of everything. Next time you definately need to check out the The Village Book Store. Downstairs has tons of games. It also has a little cafe to get coffee and read. Of course there is Chutter's - World's Longest Candy Counter!! You can never miss that on a trip to Littleton. Lancaster is another great town. It has Simon the Tanner, which has wonderful outdoorsy type clothes. But you have to plan for it. They are closed on Saturdays. And you must go to Scorpios, food is always consistent and good. Hope to see you soon at "In Plane View".

WONDERFUL HOME

4 of 5
Submitted: February 7, 2012 Stayed: January 2012
We spent a week in this home on top of the world! The views are breathtaking (even better than the pictures!), I couldn't believe how peaceful this home was. The hott tub was HUGE and clean! We really enjoyed the jacuzzi as well in the master bath! This house has all the comforts of home inlcluding everything you would need in the kitchen, two big tvs, and xboxs for the little or BIG kids in your group! The home had many games, sleds for sledding the hill, an eliptical for morning workouts, DVDs, a computer & a dart board. Melissa & her husband were always a phone call away to anwser any questions that we had arise. If your looking for a relaxing place to literally get away from it all- look no further. You feel like you are in the middle of nowhere but it wasn't far to go into town and pick up something you need, shop, or grab a pizza. I was especially excited about the heated blanket on the master bed (nothing like getting into an already warmed bed)! The home is equipped with internet as well, so we could of course stay connected and search the web if we wanted. The fireplace was cozy and made the home even more comfortable. The toaster was quite impressive as well (sounds strange, but we were quite impressed by all the features it had!) Our group really enjoyed this home and we left feeling relaxed and rested. I will miss waking up to the beautiful mountain views! We would love to return for another visit!

Thanks Melissa! We appreciate you opening your home to us!
