Last minute getaway
My husband & I along with our son & daughter in law and 7 week old baby daughter felt right at home in this farmhouse. Plenty of space for everyone including our golden retriever who loved the back yard. Just loved the sound of the river flowing directly across the street. Would definitely stay there again!

Perfect property & location!
My family of 10 plus our dogs stayed in this old, but well kept, house in Franconia! The house had plenty of room for our large group and the location was near everything you would want to do in the White Mountains. Karen (host) responded very promptly to my many questions. I highly recommend this property!

Lovely home with lots of space
My extended family joined us for a weekend of skiing over the holiday break, and Karen's home was a perfect home base. We particularly enjoyed games around the fire in the family room.

Plenty of room and great location
Farmhouse that has charm for days. Plenty of space for a large group with multiple living areas. Most of our time was spent with the wood burning fireplace going after long days at Cannon which is only about a 10 minute drive. Walkable to Iron Furnace Brewery and to shops and restaurants. The location is also only a 15 minute drive from Littleton which is a must visit in the area.

Cozy, relaxing stay!
We had a wonderful time at this incredibly comfortable and cozy home. The internet and air play were great. The den is super comfy with a great fireplace and the master bedroom was great. Another perk is you can walk directly into town and to the River Walk. Karen the host is so kind and helpful. We can’t wait to come back.

Great Franconia stay!
Roomy but cozy, excellent room to spread out. Fireplace worked great and plenty of firewood. Ample parking. House well stocked and "older house" charming. Beds comfortable. Great location - walking distance to restaurants and full service grocery store, and to the Fox Hill hiking trail system. Good base for cannon, Loon. Looking forward to staying again next winter!

holiday stay
House has lots of character as an older home, but also plenty of room. It was very nice having the two living room spaces so that there was space for some people to quietly read while others played games in the other space. Location on Main Street, but also a very short drive to Cannon, Artists Bluff/Bald Mountain (who could have predicted that we would be hiking there in late December), and Littleton is great. Mattresses upstairs are not new and upstairs shower takes some acrobatics to get low enough to wash your hair, but that was part of the charm of the place.

Great End To Summer
This is a charming farmhouse, just down the road from all you need. The place is very large and extremely clean. It is everything it is advertised to be and more. We had a great time with the grandkids roasting marshmallows, hiking around Cannon Mt., swimming at Echo Lake and playing games in the evening at the house. Thanks for great memories! Beth

This is an absolutely beautiful and charming farmhouse with plenty of room for a large family !
We decided on a lat minute ski getaway and happened upon this beautifully decorated farmhouse. We fell in love the moment we entered. Spotless with every amenity one could ask for. Convenient to Canon Mountain with plenty of nearby food establishments . Karen the owner was so very accommodating with a quick response time to any inquiries we had.

Plenty of Room
The house was very clean and described correctly. It’s exactly as you would expect a NH house to be. Fireplace room was very large and accommodated all 9 of us very well. We skied at Brettenwoods and it was an easy 20 min drive. Plenty of firewood was stocked in the house. The house had everything we needed and we would absolutely stay there again!
