What the state of New Hampshire lacks in size and population, it makes up for in its outdoor recreation, which includes winter skiing at 19 resorts and hiking within its 4.8 million acres of forest.

Among its impressive 90 state parks, you’ll find Mount Washington State Park, with the state’s (and the entire Northeast’s) highest peak, Mt Washington at 6,288 feet.  It also has the highest ever recorded wind speed – a whopping 231 miles per hour in April of 1934.

In addition tthere are plenty of lakes and ponds, over 1000 of them, along with 40 rivers that you can splash around in, kayak or boat on.

In fact, the Granite State is so positive about its offerings that its slogan actually is: “You’re Going to Love It Here.” Once you’re ready to explore, you’ll need a place to stay. See below for a list of some of the best modern cabins to rent in the state.
