Thanks you for your review, Robert, but did you mean to give us only one star? If so, why???? If this was a mistake, can you kindly correct ASAP? I would never stay at a 1-star vacation rental. Was the place not clean? Was anything that was not up to your standards? Carole Fultz

We had a wonderful time at this lovely home. It was in the perfect location. We spent our time hiking in Franconia State Park and wished we had more time to spend at the property. The only thing that we were missing was a fir pit as we had planned to roast hotdogs and marshmallows. Other than that it was perfect.

We enjoyed having you in our home. There is a portable fire pit under the front porch. The door is unlocked. I am so sorry you missed it.

Great family get away

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving week at Freeland Acres. The house was impeccably clean, well maintained, and well stocked with kitchen equipment, linens and games. There was ample space for 6 of us - 4 adults and 2 teens. It’s very convenient to Sugar Hill, Franconia, Cannon Mtn, and, a little further, Littleton. The backyard is nice and big for playing games. It was a cold week so we didn’t get to take advantage of the lovely outdoor space much.

About the host

Hosted by Joan Freeland McGowan

Host profile image
The house has been in the Freeland Family for almost 60 years. Now the three sisters, Carole, Joan, and Susan, own it and provide loving care. We love being there ourselves, and also welcoming guests from all over the world to our property.

Why they chose this property

The house is charming both inside and out. Built during 1860's, the original house was tiny. Over the years other rooms were added, including a second floor bathroom. The property provides pure, cold mountain well water.

What makes this property unique

The front porch has an uninterrupted, sweeping mountain view. The area is peaceful and abounds with birds and wildlife. The home remains a quiet, comfortable get-away for those who want to relax. The nights are dark and, on a clear night, the sky is flooded with stars. You may see an occasional spacecraft, many shooting stars and the Milky Way!
