Imagine floating down the river on a warm summer day or relaxing in the hot tub after a day of skiing—this is life at "The Lodge". A rare blend of history and modern comfort, this unique home was originally built as New England’s first ski lodge and later served as a speakeasy during Prohibition. Today, it stands as a beautifully updated retreat, ready for its next chapter. People often talk about renovations, but they rarely mean a brand-new foundation. This home has been upgraded with a new metal roof, renovated kitchen, a finished basement, a new front porch, and a deck for the hot tub—combining character with peace of mind. Large windows fill the space with natural light while offering breathtaking views of the Gale River and surrounding mountains. Franconia is a charming small town full of personality, you'll love the friendly community, local shops, and quick access to a quaint grocery store. Whether you're looking for a primary residence, vacation getaway, or income-generating rental, this home is ready to impress. Currently used as an Airbnb that sleeps up to 11 guests with 7 beds and room in basement has proven appeal as a sought-after destination. With 290 feet of river frontage, outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy floating, fishing, and unwinding by the fire pit, while adventurers will appreciate being just 4 miles from Cannon Mountain, 18 miles from Bretton Woods and Loon Mountain, and minutes from hiking trails all around.
