About this property
Replica firehouse with large game room, close to hiking and skiing
Decorated with decades of history and memorabilia, the Firehouse was built in 2004 by firefighter enthusiast John Cullen. We created spaces to offer a unique vacation experience. With 5 BRs and a bunkroom this home sleeps 16. Perfect for multi-gen families and groups of friends to get away together. The garage was converted into an enormous 1600 sf’ game room to entertain through the seasons.
In our opinion this house is one of the most unique properties you will find in the area. The multiple open spaces offer room to spread out yet plenty of cozy seating to spend quality time together.
Sitting in front of the gas fireplace is a restful spot on cold winter nights or after a fun day of skiing. During the warmer seasons spend time on the back patio with a grill and a back yard with outdoor games and a fire pit.
The Firehouse’s amazing game room, converting the oversized garage area to include large dinning room with a wet bar, fully equipped with full fridge, ice maker and sink for easy clean up. Games include a pool table, table top shuffleboard, ping pong, skee-ball and more.
Let the chef of the group prepare a nice home cooked meal with a fully functioning kitchen with all the pots, pans and utensils provided for you. Kitchen is on the first floor along with a bedroom with a queen bed. The upstairs space has six twin beds and a full bath in the loft. Next is a large common space including a sitting area with lots of board games, and a living area with a large smart TV. Two additional bedrooms are through the loft with a queen bed in each. Two more bedrooms with queen beds located in the newly finished Basement . Finally, hike through the back of the property to the Mad River (adventures types only please).

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Charles Pike

I am a former paramedic from Massachusetts. I enjoy skiing and hiking. It is my opinion there are few places more prefect than the white mountains. Best part about hosting is being able to offer large groups an affordably option to all stay together.
Why they chose this property
My home is located in a small quiet neighborhood. Please be respectful of the neighbors. Please drive cautiously as people often walk around the neighborhood
What makes this property unique
The previous owner built the house to be a fully functioning firehouse. There is a dispatch center, fire pole and decades of memorabilia. I turned the large garage into a game room.
