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

"Fall has arrived, bringing with it crisp mornings and cool, cozy nights. Nature begins her annual masterpiece, painting the landscape in breathtaking shades of gold, amber, crimson, plum, and chestnut. There’s no better place to witness this seasonal spectacle than the enchanting White Mountains."

Welcome to The Rustic Elk, our lil piece of heaven in the White Mountains, which we love dearly and hope you will too. Situated on the Black Mountain next to Loon, surrounded by trees, it offers enthralling views of Whaleback and Coolidge peaks and Mt. Moosilauke in the distant left. Feel the peace and tranquility that engulfs you as you step on to the deck or enjoy the fascinating views from the comfort of the living room, kitchen and dinning area.

Stroll down to the Loon Mountain Club and beautiful Pemigewasset river to soak up the mesmerizing beauty of the water flowing thru the river rocks with the mountains in the backdrop. Here you will also be able to partake in everything the Loon Mountain Resort has to offer. Skiing, Hiking, biking, adventure center, gondola rides, disc golf, SPA, dinning and the list goes on. The Serendipity Loop trail is about a 10-15min walk from our home.
You won't even need to leave the compound; however if you want to explore further, the Lincoln downtown offers even more things to do. Clark's Trading Post, Jean's Playhouse, Moose tours, Alpine Adventures aerial rope course, zip lining and off road tours and scenic, old fashioned train rides with Hobo railroad. Hot summer days are perfect for a trip to the Whale's Tale waterpark. Want to up the ante or celebrate a special occasion? Check out the Cafe Lafayette Dinner Train and don't forget to visit Chutters for some sumptuous chocolates, fudge and candy!

If you want to venture beyond Lincoln, North Woodstock downtown offers even more restaurants and quaint shops. Franconia Notch, Cannon Mountain, Flume Gorge, Echo lake are 20mins away.

Have an Electric Vehicle? Not a problem - There are 5 EV charging stations at the entrance of the Loon Mountain Resort!

Inclement weather, no worries. Back at the house, we have 3 floors of living space so there is room for everyone to spread out. Enjoy foosball, board games and puzzles. Snuggle up with a book, soak in the clawfoot tub or simply relax and enjoy the house and views. We have 4 smart TVs across the 3 floors so if that is your thing, we got you covered.

Every year, we create many warm memories, at The Rustic Ek Abode and hope you will too.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2.5 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

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!

Wonderful Property

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!

7 Person Trip!

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!

Mountain get-away

So the view from the back deck….. 10/10. Beautiful mountain back drop. Gorgeous stars at night. My family stayed at this cabin with another family. Plenty of space and beds with 3 floors of living space. It was a hot and sunny weekend. The split AC worked well, the bottom floor has no AC but was cool enough it really didn’t need an AC to be comfortable. Everything was very clean and as described. Easy communication with the hosts. Close to so many activities and outdoor adventures. Everyone had a great time, we wish we could have stayed longer.

Perfect place for Highland Games

My family & I loved this home--the view is unsurpassed in all our years of renting get-a-ways. We enjoyed our walks to the Highland Games throughout the weekend--it is that close. Like/Love: ~ excellent communication with owners. Felt very much supported throughout our stay. ~ view - unsurpassed ~ spacious, clean and well stocked ~ 2 rented homes in a row that the light switches were market--yeah!!! So incredibly helpful. ~ a supply of teas where a delight!! ~ awesome spot for yoga on the deck--incredibly peaceful. Wishes: ~ the spiral staircase was fun...but not for people with mobility issues; fortunately, we also had a lower lever bedroom. ~ kitchen good for 1 cook only--but maybe that's a good thing! ~ wish we could have stayed longer--the foliage was just starting to turn. Looking forward to return as soon as possible. Thank you for a lovely weekend.

We loved it!

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!
