Intervale, New Hampshire
Welcome to Dundee Lodge! Stay in a property that started as a 1-room logging cabin in the early 1900's, transformed in 1946 to include a classic New England Saltbox addition complete with a stone fireplace and bunk room w/3 twin beds (not suitable for very young children unattended). The turn of this century saw the addition of a large post & beam room complete with a luxurious King size bed, sofa sleeper and TV. Modern plumbing came at this time as well so in addition to the working outhouse we also have a large, newly renovated bathroom and a country kitchen complete with the farmer's sink and modern appliances.
Recent renovations have restored this quintessential mountain cabin to reflect its roots . A mid-century ski mural was uncovered in the Living Room and the colors were restored to what was there mid-century when the area was the premier ski destination for North America. The front "logging" room is decorated to feel like you are in a birch forest and the old metal frame twin bed can be used as a day-bed or additional sleeping. The kitchen is classic cabin chic with a red/beige checkerboard flooring, gas stove/oven, refrigerator, microwave, and a pantry stocked with all the basics. The Master Bed Room is the 'unexpected' mountain oasis with wide pine paneled walls, floor to vaulted ceiling. Skylights reflect the nature all around as does the slider that opens to the backyard deck. The newly remodeled bathroom is large and always ready with an "on-demand' hot water system. Even though there is only 1 bathroom there is still the option to use the working outhouse, so no need to wait in line to use the facilities.
As with any historic property, this cabin comes with is quirks and charms. Some of the doorways are low as are the ceiling joists in the Living Room (my 6'6" husband has to duck a few times). There is a custom designed, space-saving staircase to access the bunk room and an extra special space "bunk room annex" designed especially for little people to read and sit on the rocking horse. From the bunk room you will feel like you are in a tree fort with the 4 square windows displaying the trees and mountains around. The bunkroom and annex are not suitable for young children due to the staircase access. Young children should never be unattended in these spaces. The staircase could also be a challenge to some adults but it is sturdy and built to code by a local craftsman. If you have any concerns or need clarification, please reach out ahead of booking.
Dundee Lodge comfortably sleeps 5 (2 in the Master Bed Rm; 3 in the Bunk Rm) but you can sleep 1-2 more on the sleeper sofa in the Master Bed Rm, 1 more in the Front Rm if need be, just remember there is still only 1 bathroom (plus the outhouse).
When it is cold Dundee Lodge stays warm with an efficient gas furnace, personal heat unit in the Master Bed Rm, and the Living Rm wood stove can really provide some heat the old-fashioned way. Dundee Lodge comes with a supply of firewood for winter use by our guests.
In the summer, Dundee Lodge naturally stays cool as it is nestled in the river valley of the East Branch of the Saco River. The bunk-room has been equipped with an exhaust system to thermostatically pull out the hot air and draw the cool air in through the lower level. The Master Bed Rm has a personal A/C wall unit that can also cool other spaces if needed.
Dundee Lodge is used and loved by our family and we hope you want to make it a part of your family tradition. This is an area filled with year round activities most the information can be found on the internet. The lodge is a 10 minute walk between 2 different bathing spots on the East Branch River. The lodge is a 10-20 minute drive to 4-5 premier ski resorts. We have some flotation devises but you should bring your own water safety equipment as well. We have a pantry stocked with basic spices and food items. If you use something please replace it or leave us a note. Because we cook there as often as we can, we have most common household utensils.
Dundee Lodge has wi-fi and a landline phone because most cell phones do not have coverage in our area. We will give you the codes and number when you start your stay at the lodge. We will post phone rates but in most cases, local calls and some long distance may be included. There is 1 TV in the Master Bed Rm with cable and 1 TV in the bunk room that has a VCR, good ole fashioned entertainment! The lodge is on a road that can be busy at times as it is still an active logging road but the speed is only 30 mph and considered a rural road. There is a nice size backyard for kids to play in and plenty of doors in the back of the cabin to access that space. We really hope that you are in the area to take advantage of the abundance of nature activities that the White Mountains provide.
Please let us know how we can help tailor your visit to Dundee Lodge and make it a destination you want to return to each year!

Very clean and well stocked. Small but quaint.
We absolutely loved our stay at Dundee Lodge! Our children loved the upstairs bedroom, our 3 year old had the best time in the play area! The master bedroom was huge and super comfy!! It was in a perfect area. The whole house felt like home!We’re looking forward to booking again in the future. Thank you again Judi for allowing us to book with you last minute. ??.
Very nice!
Brought my family with three children, and had the best time exploring the Saco River and North Conway. We loved the quaint feeling of this cabin, and my kids absolutely loved the loft area. Perfect New Hampshire getaway cabin!
Our family (2 adults, 2 kids ages 10 and 7) had a great time at Dundee Lodge for a long 4th of July weekend. We stayed here last year for the holiday and loved it so much we came back again! Judi is a terrific host, providing lots of useful information and very responsive if you have any questions or issues. The description and photos of the cabin in the listing are accurate. The cabin is charming and clean, with plenty of room for us and our kids. The kitchen is snug but well set up. The weather was rainy but we had fun playing board games and reading, and were still able to get out for hiking, exploring the nearby stream, riding the Conway Scenic Railroad, and visiting Story Land. The Mount Washington Valley is a place we treasure and love to visit, and Dundee Lodge is a wonderful home base for enjoying all the area has to offer.
We decided somewhat last minute to visit the white mountains during the last week of my maternity leave, and I was watching this cabin’s availability like a hawk due to its amazing location and unmatchable character. It did not disappoint- it was both close enough to restaurants, shops and other amenities to ensure creature comforts while also being strategically located nearby wonderful hikes in Pickford, Franconia, and Crawford Notches as well as the Kancamagus highway, which was incredible as we visited in fall. The host was very gracious with me, as a mom to a new infant and a 6 year old, when I was late with my final payment, as well as when my son left his favorite stuff is behind and she agreed to mail it to us- we can’t thank her enough. The beds were cozy and my son loved the bunk area for play, as well as they toys available! The wood stove was amazing on chilly October nights, and the nearby river is absolutely gorgeous- we wish we were there in summer to explore the nearby swimming holes! The master bedroom was huge, and has a pull out couch, which was so helpful for having a travel crib and a kiddo who decided that the upstairs bunk room was maybe a bit too far from Mom and Dad ;) The details of the cabin itself were so charming and reminded us of an old farm house we used to live in. The only things it was missing that I may have thought about with kids was a W/D and dishwasher. But, we just brought some extra clothes and a bottle brush and we were fine! Otherwise the house was well stocked and we appreciated the host’s availability for any questions and her suggestions of what to do given the off-season. We hope we can return during summer to enjoy more of this amazing, restful retreat as a family! Thank you to the host for sharing your home with us!
We enjoyed this staying in this cabin. We found it to be centrally located with easy access to many diverse White Mountain hiking trails (especially beautiful with the fall foliage), while also near to many restaurants and shops. The cabin has historic charm, is well-maintained and well-stocked. Hope to visit again.
Having never been to New Hampshire before we were looking for something to capture the essence of being in the mountains. Dundee Lodge was perfect. Great location with easy access to all attractions.Beautifully appointed with so many little touches that always add to the experience. Loved the living room and afternoon nap in the loft. Large master bedroom with comfortable mattress. Bathroom and kitchen also no problem.Quiet location and would definitely stay again on another trip to this beautiful state.
My children played together and were nice to each other. They called it the “cozy cabin” and it is a magical place. ❤️
Dundee Lodge was a wonderful home base for us to explore New Hampshire and Maine. We loved the cabin and the area. Beautiful!
Nice cabin in the woods with a convenient location to the places we were looking to visit. Minutes to Storyland and a beautiful river to explore. Thank you for a memorable stay!
Our family truly enjoyed staying at this cabin. It had everything you could need for an amazing stay and the rustic charm made it feel like you traveled back in time. We are already planning our next trip to Dundee lodge!
The lodge was wonderful. Although our daughter wanted to stay in the master bedroom with us, she loved going up to the treehouse room to play. We used the lodge as our home base while we explored the region. My only regret is not allocating more time to spend enjoying the lodge. They had everything you could ask for to enjoy a summer day, hiking poles, inner tubes, a swimming hole just down the street. Air conditioning in master bedroom was appreciated as we hit a heatwave.
The Dundee Lodge was awesome! Very clean, everything we needed to feel at home. Close to all White Mountain activities- great hiking area. Would like to stay there again sometime.
My husband and I stayed at Dundee Lodge with our two children, ages 9 and 6, over the 4th of July weekend and had a wonderful time. The North Conway area is a favorite place for us - I grew up visiting my grandparents here - and this cabin was perfect for our family and close to everything we wanted to do during our stay. The description and photos in this listing are completely accurate - the cabin has a charming, vintage feel in the living room, bunk room, and kitchen, and a modern, spacious feel in the master bedroom. There is only one bathroom, but that worked out for us - and there is an outhouse right behind the cabin if need be. The entire cabin was clean and well cared for, and had everything we needed. The kids loved the bunk room and were happy to play with the bins of blocks and toys there. It's a short drive from the cabin to North Conway, where we rode the Conway Scenic Railroad, shopped at the 5 & 10, Zeb's General Store, and Wild Birch Books. We loved watching the 4th of July fireworks from the park in front of the train station. It's also a short drive from the cabin to StoryLand, where we love to take our kids each summer. It's easy to get to a supermarket and there are a variety of restaurant/takeout options nearby if you don't feel like cooking. Judi is a terrific host who is very responsive and provides a lot of information for her guests. One tip we took advantage of was playing in the stream that runs alongside the road that the cabin is on. We spent an afternoon there, climbing on the rocks and dipping in and out of the water. Our whole family really loved staying at Dundee Lodge - we definitely recommend it and hope to return in the future!
