Community Description:
With approximately 1200 residents Franconia remains sleepy - a gateway to skiing, hiking, and outdoor activities - with little traffic. "Big Red" is located on the main street of Franconia, a classic New England town that features the charm of local businesses, classic architecture, and prominent steeples. Just 5 minutes away you'll find a locally owned bagel-coffee shop, brewpub, multiple restaurants, a gas station, and a grocer. Franconia is best known for its White Mountain National Forest. The mountain pass to the village's south is known as Franconia Notch; well known for its natural features, including the Old Man of the Mountains, Profile and Echo Lakes, the Flume, and the Basin. Cannon Mountain Aerial Tramway and activities therein.

Within 15-20 minute drives you can find more - more food, oodles of retail, movie theaters, live entertainment, brewpubs, spas, health services, antiquing, and gyms. First timers often like to visit Mount Washington (the 2nd highest elevation on the eastern seaboard); waterparks, Storyland, and Santa's Village with the kids; and one time to world-famous Polly's Pancake Parlor, all nearby. Within an hour, amenities of city life can be found in larger, brisker communities; fortunately, you'll go through moose country to get there.

Nice house but...
It's a nice house, nice neighborhood, close to the highway but you don't really hear it. It doesn't have A/C and the first couple days were miserable because the humidity was awful and the fans didn't do anything. The house is good for 10 people to sleep but doesn't offer enough towels only 8 towels for 10 people and the kitchen needs more silverware, mugs and a coffee maker. The keurig they have is nice but not for 10 adults that want coffee in the morning. The first floor was with a smell of humidity and the dehumidifier wasn't doing much the first couple days. It was a big storm while we were there and my car got crashed with a big tree branch. I know the owners can't predict the weather, but they should cut some trees. The house is nice but probably go in winter time. The house needs an A/C.

Mom and Papa on second level, with loft for a 19 year old. 2 pups as well. Location was another bonus. Near everything you need. From pancakes to Storyland.. Great week.
