About this property

Picturesque Ski getaway close to Loon Mountain and Waterville Valley Ski Resorts


Welcome to Winter Wonderland! As winter settles in, the ski resorts are buzzing with activity. Come and enjoy everything the White Mountains have to offer with a cozy and comfortable stay at "The Cottage on the Brook".
Perched atop Mill Brook, this beautiful 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers picturesque views and tranquil surroundings. It is also centrally located to all the area’s attractions.

Loon Mountain, Cannon Mountain, and Waterville Valley Resort are all within a 25-30 minute drive and offer world-class winter sports. Ice Castles, snowmobile rentals, winter zip lining, and off-road tours are all within a 15-20 minute drive. Enjoy a romantic sleigh ride at one of the nearby farms or simply take in the mesmerizing beauty of your backyard – the brook freezes over in the winter and is magical.

If ice fishing is your thing, Squam Lake is 30 minutes away and Lake Winnipesaukee is 45 minutes away. You can enjoy the best of both worlds: the White Mountains and the famous Lakes Region.

Back at the house, cozy up by the fireplace, play board games, build puzzles, enjoy a round of table tennis, or simply relax in the soaking tub.

You and your family or friends can enjoy spacious living across two floors. The first floor features a welcoming foyer that leads into the great room, kitchen, and dining room, all offering picturesque views of the brook. An ample mudroom provides convenient access to the garage. This floor also includes a half bath with laundry facilities. The primary suite, complete with generous closet space, a full bathroom with a soaking tub and shower, and sliding doors to the deck with lovely brook views, completes the first floor.

The second-floor houses two bedrooms, a bathroom with a shower, and a loft with a TV, perfect for hanging out.

Welcome to "The Cottage on the Brook" and create long lasting memories!

About the host

My husband Akash and I work and live in MA with our two very active young kids. Our son snowboards and our daughter likes to ski. We enjoy the outdoors. We love our house in Thornton, NH that we lovingly call “The Cottage on the Brook” very much, but cannot be there as much as we like. Hence, we decided to share it with others. We do hope that folks enjoy it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

Every year for the past several years we have vacationed in and around North Conway and Lincoln, NH. Our son took to snowboarding and our daughter is getting good at Skiing. Hence, we decided to get our own place in the beautiful White Mountains. The drive to North Conway was a little longer than we wanted, so we started checking out places around Lincoln and Woodstock.
Unbelievable but true, we were in the area to check out two other homes. This was not on our list. Our agent brought our attention to this property, urged us to go see it and was able to schedule a visit for us.
We wanted something special in our vacation home but could not quite put a finger on it, until we saw this beautiful house. Shall we say the rest is history? #Unbelievable, #Thankful!!

What makes this property unique

Brook in the backyard!! Not just the first time but every time we enter our house, our jaws drop when we see the view of our backyard from the wall of glass that pans the living room and kitchen area; rain, shine or snow. Every room offers picturesque views and the soothing sound of flowing water instantly relaxes. Feels surreal, as if in a beautiful canvas wall art. The brook does freeze over in the winter and it is magical.
Thornton, NH is a very quaint little town, away from the hustle bustle yet close to it all. Over the past year, in addition to furnishing and decorating the place, we have enjoyed snow sports as well as some very nice hikes in the region. Last but not the least the food and the folks around here are amazing.
