My boyfriend and I were invited by our friend who is a caretaker at the cabin to come for an early Thanksgiving dinner with a bunch of friends. The hike up wasn't too difficult, though it had it's steep spots and icy spots (bring some microspikes or hiking poles in the winter). We are fairly experienced hikers and it took... More

The Coo are very relaxed. You feel that you just walked into your own mountain hut. The Common area wraps around an open and friendly kitchen. There were 3 moose in the area. There is a board walk which completely surround Lonesome Lake which permits on to see and experience the delicate eco-system of the area without damaging it. The... More

Fun family hike and great place to stay. Beginner trail but still challenging enough to make it interesting. (Little over 2 hours up and about 1:20 down.) Brought my wife (her first hike) and 7 yo daughter who insisted on leading the way. Lots of fun. The hut was way better than expected. Very clean (cleaner than the hotel we... More

We got there and checked into our bunkhouse, which had been recently updated. We had a room with double bunks for the four of us so we did not have... More

Hiked the 1.5 mile uphill distance to this hut. which is the terminus on the Eastern end of the presidential range huts that include Galehead, Zealand, etc running to the west. Enjoyable hike near Franconia Notch State Park. Much lower elevation than Mt. Washington area so views are not as spectacular, but are still beautiful. We had been at Lakes... More
