Radeke Cabin once served as a summer camp for School of Forestry students at the University of New Hampshire until the mid 1960s. It was purchased by the Forest Service in 1969.
The cabin is just off the Kancamagus Scenic Byway and easily accessible by car, but guests should be prepared to bring most of the gear and supplies needed to make their stay comfortable. Radeke Cabin offers an ideal year-round getaway for families or small groups.

Radeke Cabin is praised for its fantastic location in the heart of the Whites, making it ideal for hiking and outdoor activities. Guests enjoy the rustic charm and the cozy wood stove, which keeps the cabin comfortable. However, some reviews mention cleanliness issues and changes to the stove that limit cooking options, suggesting guests come prepared.
We have been going to Radeke for several years now. It has been a yearly tradition for over 20 years. I wanted all the fellow travelers to know that you can no longer cook on the top of the stove. It has been moved to inside the hearth. It was a great shock to us and our dinner plans. Bring your stove. It is still a great place but not as warm as we have had it in the past. Bring your woolys. Have fun.
The cabin is nice with a recessed wood burning stove in the chimney. We needed to bring all our supplies with us...
Mt Hedgehog and Potash are close to summit and plenty of trails around. If you want another destination there is Arethusa Falls and Frankenstein Cliff Loop which is about 30 minute drive away in Crawford state park. The falls is the highest at 140 ft in New Hampshire. We were there in the winter and there is no way for us to hike the loop due to the ice even though we had crampons and micro spikes. The hike up into see the waterfall fall was a good hike for us and we watched people ice climbing the falls.

Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
