Home Away from Home, Franconia, New Hampshire, USA


Sometimes we go somewhere special with other folks and rent a big house together for a few days.  Such was the case in Franconia, New Hampshire recently where we went to see the Lupine Festival in the Sugar Hill, New Hampshire area.  We found this home on Homeaway.com and that's where we stayed for a few days.

It gives new meaning to the definition of a log cabin.  This 7900 square foot spectacular home was built by a company in British Columbia using Douglas fir, then disassembled, trucked across the continent, and then reassembled on its permanent site in Franconia. It is a beautiful home, lovingly furnished, quiet, and remote and only a short drive to all the nearby activities in the White Mountain region. A great place to stay!

And what a view from the living room!  Cannon Mountain ski resort is in the center of the photo.

And here's a great creative way to find a new life for skis that are no longer useful - a refurbished Adirondack chair!
