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.
