We rented this beautiful lodge in Franconia, NH for a week with UConn friends and their families. We had 20+ people & kids there. The house is nestled in the mountains in a perfect setting. There were two wings of the house connected by a big covered deck. It was such a beautiful setting.
This was our of the mountains and the yard from the covered deck. The yard was full of blueberries & raspberries. We looked at the back of Cannon Mtn, and despite checking constantly, we never saw the moose, baby black bear, or mountain lions that are reported to live nearby. There was a firepit that hosted giant campfires daily, lots of room to play bocci, frisbie, tag,
We loved watching a few storms move across the mounatins
Despite the fire being so hot it was nearly intolerable to toast a marshmallow, the kids made some yummy smores...A LOT of yummy smores
Right behind the huge stone fireplace, there was a little nook or sunroom that look out over the mountains. It had rocking chairs and a piano, so there was a lot of banging that actually sounded like music. Are piano lessons in order?
We didn't let a rainy day keep up inside. Although Mommy forgot to pack rain gear, a trashbag and Grandpa's old hunting hat did the trick!
It was great to spend time as a family, and with our friends and their families.
We just may have an annual tradition on our hands, it was a great great trip!
