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

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!

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.

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!

Go back in time
We stayed here Thanksgiving weekend. One child and 7 adults. Plenty of room for all and fully equipped to prep meals. Cool home, feel like you are back in time, heat was efficient given the age of the home. Quiet and convenient area. Could use a good cleaning to get rid of dust bunnies, webs and pet hair. Kitchen seemed clean but bathrooms seemed to lack a recent cleaning.
