Dream home alert! The latest addition to the ultra popular Moose Lodge and Cabins, this incredible home was built in 2019 out of Douglas Fir imported from Idaho, with amazing stonework throughout. The design is inspired by the imposing beauty of the Western ski lodges, with extremely large 18" logs that leave in an awe, and massive windows that take advantage of the home Southern exposure to let in tons of lights. The landscaping, with stone and mountain-inspired water features, is designed to integrate perfectly in the beautiful surroundings, with the National Forest right in your back yard, and the trails and beaches of the Moose Lodge and Cabins easily accessible. This includes one of the best swimming holes in the area, several great fishing spots, beaver ponds, and walking trails with great wildlife watching opportunities, immersed in the splendor of the White Mountains National Forest. In the winter, the property transforms into a winter wonderland, complete with a large ice skating rink, and beautiful trails for walking or snowshoeing, taking in a winter scenery that will remind you of a postcard. And of course, the award winning ski slopes of Bretton Woods are only a couple of minutes away!
This home is a perfect retreat, with incredible outdoor spaces and even a swimspa with a 5-foot deep pool section and a 3-seat hot tub area easily accessible from the deck that wraps around the entire home. From there, you can access the stone patio. Imagine enjoying a dinner al fresco under the log pergola, with a masonry outdoor fireplace exuding warmth and creating an incredible ambience. The patio opens up to another circular patio area with a large masonry firepit. Pick a few strawberries from the garden, or play a game on the flat lawn, then step inside and notice the abundance of details, from the custom made cubbies in the entryway, to the tropical fish tank in the entryway, leading you to the open concept living space. This includes a custom kitchen with dual oven, smart refrigerator, touch kitchen faucet and stunning live edge wood countertops made from locally harvested yellow pine. The comfortable sectional will envelop you as you watch TV or, during the winter months, enjoy a warm fire in the stunning stone heating fireplace. The beautiful dining table comfortable fits 6 or 7, and 4 additional guests can sit at the breakfast counter. On the main level, you will also find a half bath, and the extremely cozy master suite, with imposing timber King bed and furniture, a super comfortable latex mattress, and an ensuite bathroom with radiant floor heating, sunk-in 2-person Jacuzzi tub and separate walk-in stone shower. From here, you can easily walk out to the swimspa and outdoor hot tub for a quick swim or a relaxing soak.
Upstairs, you will find 2 kids bedrooms with a queen bed and desk in each, a full bathroom with separate bath/shower area, and a loft office that's perfect for those looking to work from home. On the lower level, you will find 2 additional guest rooms, one bear themed and one moose themed, and each with a queen bed, another full bathroom, and a large family room with large TV and tons of games, including a foosball table, ping pong and air hockey. But renting a home is all about the experience, and this home will treat you to an outdoor experience like no other. There are 3 separate options for outdoor dining. The first is a table with comfortable sectional and 10 foot cantilever umbrella on the deck overlooking the private backyard and the National Forest, right at the base of Bretton Woods' West Mountain. The second is another larger table tucked in under the covered section of the wrap-around porch, perfect for enjoying an outdoor meal even on a rainy day. The third option is a table on the stunning backyard patio, complete with outdoor fireplace and a pergola with lights, at the edge of the large koi pond and waterfall. Attached to the back patio you will also find the masonry firepit. Both the firepit and the outdoor fireplace double up as a grill! But of course, there is also a more traditional Weber grill on the deck, for convenience. And never worry about a storm knocking out power; with a whole house generator, the lights will stay on, no matter what!
While you may not want to leave the house, do make sure you explore the area! Starting with the beautiful grounds of the Moose Lodge and Cabins, where you will find beautiful gardens, a few miles of walking/snowshoeing trails, beaver ponds, and almost a mile of river frontage on the pristine Ammonoosuc River. The river offers great recreational opportunities right on site, from swimming in one of its best swimming holes right on site, to fishing to tubing, or simply walk eastbound along the shallow water through the National Forest to the base area of Bretton Woods. Right outside the gate of the Moose Lodge you will also find one of the best spots in the North Country to see the elusive moose - and you may be lucky enough see one wandering on property as well. You can also take a short walk to the popular Lower Falls area, or head out for a day of exploration of Bretton Woods and the area beyond, from the fabled Mount Washington Hotel, only 2 minutes away, to the ski resort of Bretton Woods, just 1 mile away, to all the attractions of the White Mountains: from the Cog Rail, 7 miles away, to Santa's Village, Storyland, Franconia Notch, Whale's Tale water park, and many, many more attractions all a short drive away. And with so much to do, you may want to treat yourself to a longer stay - and our rates get lower the longer you stay, so why not? And don't forget to take advantage of our partner offers, which give you exclusive access to Broadway quality shows at the nearby Weathervane Theater, discounted Cog Railway tickets, the option to purchase day passes for the pool and gym at the Mountain View Grand resort, and other seasonal offerings.
