Went to Franconia for a family vacation. The big farmhouse was very accommodating for my husband and I with our daughter and her family of 5. The large yard was great for the kids and dog to run around. Plenty of restaurants and market just down the street. Great location to make home base to explore Franconia state park. Karen was very quick to respond to messages. Can’t wait to return we just love the mountains.

We had a great stay in Franconia for our family reunion weekend. There is not an abundance of rentals to choose from in this area and the location - centrally located in Franconia - was perfect for us. We had 9 family members and the size of the house was perfect for our group. The house was old but well kept and was well supplied. It was a HOT weekend so we would have liked to have some A/C in the bedrooms but lots of fans helped us stay comfortable and their was an A/C in the TV room which turned on in the evening. Overall would recommend for either summer or winter - would be good for a ski weekend as well as it is close to Cannon Mtn. Thanks!

We very much appreciated being able to bring our dogs with us on vacation and had a great amount of space to play board games, read, etc.

The home and yard are very spacious. The updated appliances were really appreciated, especially the ice/water dispenser in the new side by side fridge. We hit a very hot and humid week, so the bedrooms were quite warm without A/C. Karen said they're going to prioritize that project. That would make a wonderful improvement.

We had a fabulous time in this beautiful old farmhouse within easy walking distance of restaurants, shopping, a fabulous library, an art walk and the river. Karen was incredibly responsive and helpful and the house is very well supplied and stocked. The large backyard with fire pit and flat driveway were perfect for our 2 year old grandson to play in and ride his bike around. There is so much to do in and around Franconia with Littleton a short drive away. This is a comfortable, clean place to use as a base to explore the White Mountains!

The location was accurately described and we liked the quaint, friendly town. However, we felt the “meticulous” and “spotless” descriptions in the property listing were misleading . Outdoor lanterns were leaning over, front porch rocking chairs were broken and there was a dead Christmas planter outside the back door (it was mid-March). There was a septic-like smell when we entered, peeling paint/wallpaper and Christmas decorations (some dead) throughout (again, it was mid-March). The handrail on the stairs leading to the second floor was unsafely loose and attached to the wall with a dowel and a screw. In the upstairs bathroom, there were several dead flies on the counter upon arrival, the bathroom light consisted of a bare lightbulb, the grout in the shower was completely black, the toilet was stabilized with shingles shoved under it, the bathroom floor was unstable and buckled up and down when walked on and a wall covering behind the mirror was frayed, faded and hanging off the wall.

This home was a great getaway for a quick trip to Cannon Mountain. Great location to hit the mountain early and get in some good turns. Loved returning to the home to relax by the fire (lots of seasoned firewood provided) and cook in the well equipped kitchen. Lots of room for our party of 6. And I can't say enough wonderful things about our host, Karen. Very responsive and super accommodating when we had a change in our plans. Thanks for everything!

Fun family weekend getaway.

We had a wonderful stay in this home. Enjoyed walking to the coffee shop and the market, close proximity to many hikes and restaurant locations. Comfortably fit our family.

We had the most wonderful, relaxing visit. The house had everything we needed to make for a homey experience, replete with an excellent little record collection! Karen was super responsive and beyond helpful in plying us with a range of recommended hikes, recreational spots, sites, and restaurant options. We’d love to return during ski season! Thanks for everything!!
