Historic "Lodge" in Franconia-on the River

The Space The Lodge comfortably accommodates up to 10 guests and combines historic character with modern amenities in a truly unique riverfront setting. Originally built in the 1930s as one of the Northeast's first ski lodges, the home has been carefully restored over two years while preserving many of its original features, including the historic piano that welcomes guests upon arrival. Upon entering the home, you'll find a spacious foyer with ample storage for coats, boots, skis, and outdoor gear. The original piano serves as a centerpiece and reminder of the lodge's rich history. Also located on the main floor is a shared full bathroom and a cozy bedroom with a full-size bed. The heart of the home is the open-concept living area, where the kitchen, dining room, and living room flow together to create the perfect gathering space. Whether you're preparing meals, sharing stories after a day on the trails, or enjoying a movie night, everyone can stay connected. The living room also features a sleeper sofa for additional flexibility. Upstairs, guests will find comfortable accommodations for families and groups. One large bedroom features a queen-size bed, while another spacious bedroom includes both a queen-size and full-size bed. A smaller bedroom offers a twin bed and crib, making it ideal for families traveling with young children. An open loft area provides two additional twin beds and adds to the home's classic lodge atmosphere. The lower level offers a dedicated entertainment space where guests can unwind after a day of adventure. Enjoy friendly competition in the game area, watch your favorite movies or sporting events on the large-screen TV, or gather around the cozy wood-burning stove on chilly New England evenings. Outside, you'll discover one of The Lodge's most memorable features: a riverside hot tub and sauna located just steps from the water. Relax while listening to the sounds of the river, enjoy the peaceful surroundings, and take in the beauty of the White Mountains throughout every season.
