My family just stayed at Huttopia White Mountains in their winter chalets and we had an excellent time. I was a little nervous as I think the site being open in winter is still relatively new, and I couldn't find many reviews for it. If you want to be secluded in the woods and have access to winter activities this location is great. The chalet is very cozy and they provide everything you need. We were worried it might get cold but I was completely wrong. Single digit temps outside and inside was nice and toasty. Pros * There's only 10 chalets, so you won't see very many other people. We only saw other families in passing once or twice each day. * Self check-in, so you can arrive anytime after their check-in time. You receive an email about an hour before check-in time with details about how to access the chalet. * The people managing the property did a great job, the roads and paths were all plowed and well marked. There was a large storm one day and they were out clearing the path and parking lot every two hours or so. * The property is large enough that we didn't need to leave to have outdoor fun. We were able to snow shoe all over the property. There are hills so we were also able to go sledding. Loved seeing the frozen lake. * There's lots of activities nearby in North Conway, and other area ski resorts. Tubing was only about 20 minutes away. I had done a fair amount of research about activities and Huttopia provided a book of local places that included some things I wasn't aware of. Lots of skiing nearby. * They have fire places in the chalets and have wood available to purchase, that's close to the cabins. The wood is like what you would get at the grocery store, shrink wrapped and kiln dried. Cash only though. * You get a clearly marked parking space and your own designated cart and sled to bring things to your chalet. There was a lot of packed snow, so the sled was so helpful. * They give you a drying rack to hang your wet now gear by the fire, so you don't have to hang them all over the pace. There's also a plastic boot tray so your floors don't get wet. * They give you an outdoor fire pit with log seats right in front of the chalet. It was really cold and incredibly windy so we didn't get to use it but had the weather been a little more cooperative I would have loved it. Cons * The pillows are pretty thin. I would recommend bringing your own. * The heat works so well that, with heat rising, the upstairs was really warm. My kids slept in shorts without blankets. After a few days we worked out which thermostat controlled upstairs and what temp to set it at to make them more comfortable. My recommendation would be an hour before bedtime turn it way down. Staying here in the winter is essentially like renting a cabin AirBnB, without the ridiculous extra fees. We had a great time! I highly recommend it, and we will definitely be coming back.
