About this property

Cozy Farmhouse in the White Mountains

You will enjoy this house in any season. Situated on a 6 acre lot surrounded by woods and mountain views, this 1800s era farm house makes for a nice, relaxing getaway. It is located in the stunning Mill Brook Valley on the backside of 4,000 foot Mt. Tecumseh and Waterville Valley Ski Area. Walk, hike, ski and snowshoe right from the house to trails around a pristine mountain valley and then relax by the wood stove. Open meadows are kept mowed by owners association. In summer, a small pond is available for swimming. For bigger adventures, it is 20 minutes to Waterville Valley Ski Area, 30 minutes to Loon Mountain and 40 minutes to the breathtaking Franconia Notch, Cannon Mountain and the Mt Washington area beyond.

Authentic farmhouse deep in the Whites
This is a real deal old farmhouse - with all its charms and quirks. Sloping floors, wonky internet, cozy wood stove, delightful ski memorabilia everywhere.

About the host

Hosted by David Summersby

Host profile image
We are a Boston-based family that fell in love with the great access to hiking and remote beauty of the southern White Mountains and purchased this charming old farmhouse in the 1970s. The house retains much of its old fashioned charm, including exposed beams and layout and its setting in the deep woods and hilly terrain of Mill Brook Valley. This house has been a part of many family adventures, in all seasons, and has been used by 3 generations for skiing, sledding, hiking, swimming and exploring.
