About this property

A Quiet Retreat in Rural New Hampshire

Come and get comfortable! Enjoy each other’s company in our open concept living room / kitchen, cook a great meal together, relax by the pellet stove, take a walk in nature & end your day in our master bathroom's waterfall shower.

Millie's was newly renovated and finished in the fall of 2021. Our home is private enough to getaway, but not too far from the essentials—perfect for a nature retreat or a local event's home-base. Our guests have access to the entire house, excluding the basement / garage. If you would like to use the basement to store outdoor equipment during your stay, please let us know beforehand.

Millie's offers enough space to sleep six guests, three bedrooms (four beds)—one master suite on the first floor and two bedrooms on the second floor—with two and a half bathrooms total. The master bedroom features a queen size bed, walk-in closet, and an attached bath with a curb-less rainfall shower and laundry. The two upstairs bedrooms offer space for four guests—two twin beds in the back room and a private queen with a great view in the front room—each with access to the full bathroom at the top of the stairs.

The living space is large with lots of windows and light to enjoy our open concept kitchen, living & dining room. The kitchen is equip with all new appliances, plus the necessary cookware/glassware for any occasion. A large granite island fit with a built-in range and four high-top chairs separates the space, looking out to a six person dining table and wrap around couch by the pellet stove. Off of the kitchen is an attached powder-room and a modern office space with two large, sliding glass patio doors that open up to a wrap around deck with yard access. Enjoy the view from either of our two decks, complete with rocking chairs (in the spring/summer) on the wrap around deck and a cool swinging pod on our covered porch entrance!

Our home is heated and cooled with energy efficient mini-splits in the living area, office, master-suite and twin bedroom upstairs. Additionally, in the winter months, we recommend keeping warm with our pellet stove and in the summer, keeping cool (when it’s s not too humid) by opening windows at night. The only space in the house that does not have heating/cooling installed in the room is the upstairs "Birds-eye" bedroom—in the winter we have it stocked with flannel sheets and warm blankets to keep you warm, and a big stand-up fan to keep cool in the summer.

Because Millie's is a newly renovated BNB, there are always new projects happening that we think will help to make your stay as comfortable as possible! We love to update Millie's with new furnishings, linens, and additional hangout spaces as often as we can—a summertime yard hangout is in the works, as well as plans for a finished basement space to store outdoor equipment!



A few things to note:
We are nestled in a rural area!

• Sometimes our cell reception does not reach. We have had spotty luck with the Verizon network and recommend having directions & check-in instructions up & loaded before your arrival.

• We are not too far off the beaten path and are happy to recommend our favorite places to visit in the area—let us know what you're looking for, whether it be food/drinks, skiing/hiking, groceries or a nice place to take a walk!

• Our home is a newly renovated, but not a new build! This makes it somewhat easier for local critters to enter the home at times. We try our best to stay on top of keeping wildlife out of the house. In the wintertime, you may hear or see a mouse in the basement during a very cold stretch. In the springtime, we are actively trying to deter ladybugs from entering our home. These animals are native to the area and while we do all we can to prevent them from interrupting your stay, we hope you can understand if you do see one!



WINTER STAYS: please check the weather forecast!

• We recommend driving with snow tires and/or 4-wheel drive in the winter months.

• Our town is rural and small with few local plow employees—we try our best to stay on top of the storms by arranging a local plow to clear the driveway, however, they do not guarantee what times they are available and usually come to plow towards the end of a storm. All major access roads are plowed by the state and are usually kept clear during a storm. If we have enough notice, and the driveway needs plowing during your stay, we can occasionally help by snow-blowing! We always leave a shovel and rock salt on the porch in the winter months.

Perfect get away
Super happy with my stay. Owners were very helpful. Everything was as advertised. Clean, organized and very well thought out. A great place to just get away and chill out or from which to explore NH and VT. Everything exceeded my expectations! Would love to go back one day soon.

Best Thanksgiving Holiday Ever
We had a wonderful time for the week we were at the property. The home was sunny and bright with a cozy feel while having an open floor plan. I loved working in the large updated open kitchen. The rooms were all comfortable and I really enjoyed the spa like bathroom. It was a great place for family to gather and enjoy the peace and quiet of the neighborhood as well as the beautiful star filled night sky. I will probably come to stay again next time I am in the area!

About the host

Hosted by Kelly

Host profile image
Hi there! We are a mother and daughter duo that run and maintain our entire property ourselves—from the renovation design to cleaning, landscaping and accommodating our guests, we do it all! This property happened to fall into our laps at the perfect time and place (and happens to be right down the road from us both too). We started our short-term rental renovation project when my daughter moved back to the area during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown and listed our property in October, 2021. Since then, we have been working hard to provide a place for guests to experience a home away from home, nestled in the quiet woods of the Upper Valley.
