Family-Friendly Weekend in the White Mountains: A Perfect Itinerary for Your Vacation Rental Guests

A Family-Friendly Weekend in the White Mountains

If there’s one thing we love most about the White Mountains, it’s how perfect they are for a cozy, adventure filled family weekend. Between scenic trails, comfort food, and small town charm, it’s easy to see why so many families return year after year.

As a local short term rental property management company, we know families are some of the best guests. They stay longer, take care of your home, and leave rave reviews when they’ve had a great time. So, we put together the ultimate weekend itinerary your guests (and you!) can use for a family friendly getaway in the White Mountains.

Swimming hole at Georgiana Falls

Friday: A Waterfall Hike + Cozy Dinner

Kick off the weekend with a short but beautiful hike at Georgiana Falls in Lincoln. It’s about two miles round-trip, the perfect length for kids and the views of the waterfall at the top are worth it.

After the hike, reward yourselves with a cozy dinner in town and a local craft beer. Lincoln and North Woodstock are full of spots serving hearty food and local brews, perfect for kicking off a mountain weekend.

Saturday: Santa’s Village + BBQ & Live Music

Saturday’s for the magic! Santa’s Village in Jefferson is a must for families think rides, reindeer, and just the right amount of Christmas cheer no matter the season.

After a day of fun, stop by Twin Barns Brewing in North Woodstock. It’s casual, a little loud (in the best way), and super family-friendly. The BBQ is so good, the beer list is local and creative, and they often have live music. A

win for parents and kids alike.

Sunday: Pancakes, River Trails & Cozy Farewell

Start the morning at Flapjacks in Lincoln, a local legend for big stacks of pancakes and a friendly, diner-style vibe.

Then walk it off at Lincoln Woods Trail, which follows the Pemigewasset River and offers plenty of space for exploring, skipping rocks, and soaking up that mountain air.

End the weekend with dinner at The Common Man, one of those classic New Hampshire restaurants that always feels like home. Comfort food, great service, and a warm, family friendly atmosphere.

Why Families Love Staying in the White Mountains

Families are drawn here for the same reasons we are; easy access to nature, cozy restaurants, and that “escape from it all” feeling without going too far. As a homeowner, that means there’s real opportunity to attract these kinds of guests all year long.

When your short term rental is family friendly (think: well-stocked kitchen, kids’ plates, games, and space to unwind), you’ll see better reviews and repeat bookings. And with the right local property management team, you can enjoy all the benefits of hosting without the stress of managing it day to day.
