About this property

The Cottage on the Brook: Ecstatic Fall Getaway in the White Mountains


Fall is in the air with crisp mornings and nights. Mother Nature transforms the landscape into mesmerizing hues of yellow, orange, red, purple and brown. There is no better place to soak in the beauty of Fall than the White Mountains.

Capture the essence of White Mountains at “The Cottage on the Brook”. Perched atop the Mill Brook this beautiful 3BR, 2.5-bath house offers picturesque views and tranquil surroundings. Immerse yourself in the fall colors by taking a stroll thru the neighborhood, hike the nearby mountains trails, visit the lakes region or take a scenic fall foliage drive along the well-known Kancamagus highway (“The Kanc”).

Loon Mountain, Cannon Mountain, Waterville Valley and Squam Lake are all within 25-30min drive while Lake Winnipesaukee is 45min. You can enjoy the best of both worlds, White Mountains as well as the famous Lakes that offer breathtaking views of the brilliant colored NH Fall Foliage.

Back at the house, bask in the afternoon sun, wade in the water, sip your morning coffee or enjoy meals throughout the day, on the private deck or within the comfort of a screened in porch. The soothing sound of flowing water is sure to calm you down. On cooler nights, create warm memories by the fire pit.

Area activities abound – golf, hiking, biking, horse riding, boating, scenic train rides, gondola rides, amusement park, Flume Gorge, antique shops, restaurants and shopping.

Inclement weather - no worries, soak in the mesmerizing beauty of nature from the comfort of the living room, cook up a sumptuous meal in the well-appointed kitchen, enjoy a round of air-hockey or table tennis, board games, puzzles, movies or 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 2 car 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!

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.
