Beautiful cabin home
Cabin like home was beautiful with a large wrap around porch with a nice view for sunrise/sunset. The property has everything you would need from pots and pans to cleaning supplies. Great for a family looking for a cozy place to stay. Nina was very informative and provided detailed directions for everything which was appreciated.

Lovely log cottage in great location!
We are two elderly couples who travel a lot together. We have stayed in VRBOS in France, UK, Croatia, Costa Rica, Belize and all around the US. We were very happy with this lovely log cottage. It was easily accessible to all the parks and scenic roadways around NH. It was very private and peaceful. Ample parking. We enjoyed the lovely porch were we sat with coffee in the morning and drinks in the afternoon. The cottage was comfortable and had everything we needed. The host was attentive to our needs.

Wonderful Vacation Home!
Clean, comfortable, warm and inviting are just a few of the words to describe this lovely log home in the White Mountains. This home has everything that you can think of, and more! It's modern but still has a lot of character. The ping pong table was a surprise added bonus! The location is perfect for enjoying all the local attractions. There is a small but full-service grocery store down the street. Nina was fantastic with communicating with us--she takes pride in her home and in the comfort of her guests. Thanks for a fantastic vacation!

Wonderful Stay!
We had such a wonderful stay. We had everything we needed, location (private, yet close to town and nearby activities), size (very comfortable for a group of six), and amenities (house had just about everything we needed).
There were just a couple minor notes such as there being no ceiling fan/box fan in the master bedroom (just a small 8in fan). Fortunately, the weather was beautiful and mild during our stay, but can see this being a bit of an issue peak summer for anyone who likes to be cool at night. Our Roku remote batteries were also dead when we arrived so we had to purchase some while we were there.
Nina was very nice and quick to respond to any questions/provide information.
Overall, a lovely stay. We would definitely come back and would highly recommend!

Great base for hiking.
The house was comfortable and has plenty of outdoor space. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen well appointed for cooking.
We were primarily hiking, so the house is perfectly located for many hikes in the Presidentials, Kinsman Ridge, and Lafayette Ridge.
The small village of Franconia has an excellent market, a coffee shop, and several restaurants.
And Nina, the host, was helpful and very prompt in her responses.

Host was very responsive. Well stocked. A large patio table and chairs at a regular height that seat a group of over 4 would have been a welcome addition. Location is great but cabin is below treeline so there is not a great view from the porch in area where great views are all over.
