Cranmore Slopeside Retreat w/ Private Hot Tub

Summary:

Perched at the base of Cranmore Mountain along the banks of Kearsarge Brook, this stunning 2023-built townhome is North Conway's premier four-season mountain retreat. Soak in the rooftop hot tub with direct views of Cranmore's slopes, fall asleep to the sound of flowing water, and wake up ready to ski, hike, or explore — all without ever getting in your car. Three floors of thoughtfully designed living space, two gas fireplaces, an expansive sun room, and premium finishes throughout makes this the rare property that delivers on both location and luxury.



The Space:

From the moment you pull up to the striking charcoal board-and-batten exterior with its timber-framed entryways, you sense this isn't your average mountain rental. Step inside through the mudroom — a welcome feature for ski and hiking trips — drop your gear in the attached garage, and let the home unfold across three well-appointed floors.



First Floor — Lower Living + Sunroom

The first floor sets the tone for relaxed mountain living. A spacious living room anchors this level, featuring a sectional sofa, 55" smart TV (Spectrum with HBO & Max included), gas fireplace, and built-in shelving with mountain-inspired art. This room flows directly into the sunroom — a light-flooded retreat wrapped in windows overlooking Kearsarge Brook. With plush leather seating, swivel chairs, and its own mini-split AC unit, the sunroom is equally perfect for morning coffee or evening wind-downs with the sound of the brook filling the air.



A full bathroom and laundry room with a full-size washer and dryer are also conveniently located on this level, along with the private garage — accessible to guests for storing skis, bikes, or snow gear.



Second Floor — Main Living, Kitchen & Primary Bedroom

Head up the open-riser staircase to the heart of the home: a bright, open-concept second floor where the kitchen, dining, and living areas flow seamlessly together. The living room features another gas fireplace, a 55" smart TV, and floor-to-ceiling windows opening to a large deck with outdoor dining — the perfect perch above the treetops with Kearsarge Brook below.



The kitchen is where the group gathers. Custom cabinetry with warm wood tones, stainless appliances including a full-size refrigerator, dishwasher, stove/oven, and microwave surround a peninsula with seating for four. Pendant lighting, a coffee bar stocked with coffee and essentials, and an expandable dining table that seats the whole group complete the picture. A half bath off the kitchen adds convenient guest access.



Also on the second floor is the primary bedroom — a queen bed with an en-suite full bath and a TV.



Third Floor — Bedrooms + The Star of the Show

The third floor houses two additional bedrooms, each with mountain-themed décor: one queen bedroom with its own dedicated work-from-home desk setup with dual monitors (great for remote workers) and a bunk room with a twin-over-queen configuration — perfect for kids or flexible group sleeping. The shared third-level bathroom features subway tile and modern fixtures.



And then there's the showcase: step through the door to the third-floor deck, and you're greeted by the private hot tub with unobstructed views of Cranmore Mountain. Whether it's watching the ski lifts turn on a winter morning or catching a summer sunset over the slopes, this spot is nothing short of spectacular.

The Neighborhood:

You're in the heart of North Conway's mountain district — at the base of Cranmore, along one of New Hampshire's most scenic brooks. The surrounding area is a mix of wooded trails, mountain views, and quick access to the energy of downtown North Conway Village. Year-round, there is something to do: ski season brings world-class terrain at multiple resorts, summer opens up hiking, biking, paddling, and the family adventure park at Cranmore, and fall foliage in the White Mountains is a bucket-list experience.

Grocery stores (Hannaford, Shaw's, Market Basket), restaurants, breweries, and all essentials are just minutes away.



Getting Around:

A personal vehicle is recommended for the area. From the property, the Cranmore base area is walkable in ski boots. Downtown North Conway is just a few minutes by car. Major trail systems connect directly from the property on foot or by bike. Winter visitors should plan for snow-equipped vehicles, as mountain weather can vary quickly.

Hot tub: Please shower before use. Failure to follow hot tub care guidelines may result in a $250 draining/refill fee. All trash should be bagged and brought to the garage bins prior to checkout.
