With warm days ahead, now's the time to make The Lodge your ultimate summer retreat. Picture yourself floating down the river, unwinding in the hot tub under the stars, or gathering around the fire pit with friends after a hike in the White Mountains. With 290 feet of direct river frontage and mountain views all around, this is where unforgettable memories are made. Originally built as New England's first ski lodge-and once a Prohibition-era speakeasy-this historic home has been reimagined for today with a brand-new foundation, metal roof, renovated kitchen, finished basement, welcoming front porch, and a deck built for hot tub relaxation. Inside, large windows let in abundant natural light and showcase stunning views of the Gale River and nearby peaks. Whether you're sipping coffee on the porch or dipping your toes in the water, every corner of this home invites you to slow down and enjoy. Franconia offers a classic New England small-town feel with friendly neighbors, local shops, and a charming grocery store just minutes away. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the location-surrounded by trails and only 4 miles from Cannon Mountain, with Bretton Woods and Loon Mountain just a short drive away when ski season returns. The Lodge is an ideal opportunity for anyone looking to jump into the short-term rental market(sleeps 11)-or simply enjoy a private getaway in the mountains. There's still time to book out your summer season or claim it for yourself.
