The Rustic Elk Abode: A Mesmerizing Fall Retreat in White Mountains by the Kanc!

Lovely property. Gorgeous views. Appliances, decor, furniture all very nice. Very clean. Shalaka was quick to respond when we had a few questions. Our group really enjoyed all the special touches the owners incorporated in the house and landscaping. Highly recommend this property for a great getaway.

Beautiful view and a great location.

Great location with nice mountain views. House was exactly as described and well stocked. Host was very communicative.

Such a cute and comfortable home! The owners clearly take pride in hosting as the property was well appointed and meticulously upkept. The location is great - just a few minutes away from the restaurants/shops in Lincoln as well as many great hiking spots. It was a wonderful place for our family to relax.The owners were very responsive, as this was a last minute booking, and attentive, as they reached out a number of times to make sure we had everything we needed. We definitely would recommend this property!

It was a great stay. The property was exactly how it showed in description and pictures. The host was very active in managing questions and responding to any questions/requests during the stay.

Place was perfect, well cared for and clean.

Beautiful and clean house! Plenty of room for the 7 of us, huge living room area to relax at night after a long day out and about. Love the large deck overlooking the mountains. AC to keep the house cool. Having been to Lincoln many times, it's not always necessary to have a house with AC, but it's nice to know you have it if you need it. In the past, we have stayed in houses that got surprisingly hot. The host was excellent, great communication, responded quickly to a few questions I had during our stay. Would highly recommend!

This house was perfect for our stay! The views from inside and on the deck were amazing! We had to dodge some weather but that didn’t slow us down at all…so much around and the location was tough to beat. We did the Loon zip line, Saco River tubing, Cannon Tram, mini golf in town, 18 holes at The Jack course, the Flume Gorge, Whales Tale water park, and joined the Mountain Club for the pools and all the extras for teens which they loved, We grilled every night on the spectacular deck and even watching the weather move through the valley and mountains was a sight to see! We hope to be back!

Absolutely loved our stay at the Rustic Elk!! A truly beautiful home and the view was unreal. Amazing service and communication from the host too. We all thought that the actual home was even better than it appeared in the listing, which speaks volumes. Highly recommend!

We had a fantastic week at this home! It is very evident that Shalaka and Akash care about their guests and go the extra mile with a personalized welcome note, a few goodies, extra toiletries and emailed check-ins throughout the week to see if we needed anything. The home is very well kept and comfortable. We prepared most of our meals at the house and found everything we needed. The kitchen was well stocked and the grill on the deck was clean and in good working order. Speaking of the deck....this is where you will spend so much time because the view is phenomenal. The house is located in the perfect location, close to stores, restaurants, coffee and hikes, ice cream, and mini-golf yet tucked far enough away from it all to get the peace and quiet that makes a vacation great. We left New Hampshire will sore muscles from great hiking, but full hearts from such a great week. We are grateful to Akash and Shalaka for sharing their house with us. We would rent this house again in a heartbeat...it was great!

Wonderful property! We love the multiple floors with separate spaces, and most of all, love the back deck with gorgeous view! This is our second time staying here, and will return again.
