Peacefulness and privacy abound here, amidst a wooded backdrop with incredible views of Giant Mountain and the Southern end of the Great Range of the High Peaks. The sunny clearing features a gently sloping yard with lovely perennial gardens, a playground, and a 50 foot wraparound deck complete with a barbecue grill and Adirondack chairs.

Out the back door it's only a 45 minute hike or snowshoe to the summit of Little Porter, and only a 2 mile jaunt to "the Garden" (hiking trailhead), from which countless hiking and skiing trails can be accessed.
The lodge is a custom-built, 3,000 square-foot, beautifully appointed log home, with hardwood floors throughout, a fieldstone fireplace dominating the Great Room, cathedral ceilings, a fully equipped gourmet kitchen/dining area, complete with granite countertops and a Jenn-Aire grill. Providing lodging for up to 12 adults, sleeping areas include four bedrooms plus a spacious sleeping loft, accompanied by three bathrooms, the master bath featuring a 2-person shower and 2-person deep soaking bathtub. The walkout basement functions as a playroom complete with swing, climbing bars, and toys. Adirondack furnishings abound, and of course, floor-to-ceiling windows everywhere.
