About this property

Peaceful Retreat in White Mountains

Relax in and enjoy our well-equipped home in a very peaceful setting in the heart of the White Mountains. Our four-bedroom home is located on a tranquil “scenic” road in the prime Sugar Hill location where one can find beautiful sweeping views of the Lafayette, Cannon and the whole Kinsman Range and much of the Presidentials. The interior includes hard wood flooring throughout the house, a large living room/ dining area with a fieldstone fireplace, a well-equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances, an island and a sitting area, a lovely screened in porch for dining and lounging and a master bedroom with private bath. There is also a finished lower level space with a comfortable double futon which serves as a great place for children to hang out. There is cable TV and wireless internet for your enjoyment. The contemporary design gives an airy and open feel. Most of the many windows face south and have tree top views of Cannon or/and Lafayette Mountain. The property has beautifully landscaped gardens, a large yard with apples trees and a field, a fire pit and a private patio area and is located just five minutes from the town of Franconia and I-93, ten minutes from the ski slopes of Cannon Mountain and about twenty-five from Loon and Brettan Woods. Property has a separate two car garage with a new studio apartment over the garage, which can be rented separately. The 624 square feet studio apartment has a king size bed, cathedral ceilings and a porch off the back. Please inquire for more information. On occasion, the owners may be staying there during rentals though it will never be rented separately.

Perfect for our group of 5! Plenty of beds - not bunks - for everyone to get a good night's sleep! We like cooking in and sharing good food - kitchen layout is great for everyone to "do their thing". Hoping it will be available next year for our same, 25 year old tradition! Thank you Wendy!

We had a fantastic weekend stay at this beautiful mountain home. Wendy was more than accommodating, she went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for our arrival. The house itself was spacious, clean, and provided the perfect setting for our family to come together and relax. From the cozy atmosphere to the stunning surroundings, everything was just right. We would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway, and we can’t thank Wendy enough for being such a phenomenal host!

Perfect Getaway...

Great location to explore hiking trails, go shopping or just relax. We rented to have access to the Highland Games and it was the perfect spot. I am now a big fan of Sugar Hill. The property itself was beautiful and provided us with all the comforts of being home. I would highly recommend this rental.

About the host

Hosted by Wendy Vandenhoeck

Host profile image

Alan and I camped and hiked in the White Mountains for years with our kids before deciding that the time was right to buy a home there. When we are not renting the home, we enjoy the area a great deal and find it a great get away from our life in Arlington, Massachusetts. Wendy is an adoption social worker and Alan is a high school teacher and between of them we have four great children ranging in age from 26 to 34.

Why they chose this property

We love the tranquility of the property and street, the immediate area with the beautiful views and the open and airy feel to the house.
