The Barn: A one of a kind rustic stay in an amazing location! | House in Sugar Hill
2 Bedroom House in Franconia, Sugar Hill
Welcome to The Barn — A One-of-a-Kind White Mountains Retreat
Yes—really. Once a working farmhouse barn and stable, this unique property has been thoughtfully reimagined into a warm and inviting cabin, blending the rustic character of its original structure with the comfort and functionality of a modern getaway. With its clever layout and cozy atmosphere, The Barn is the perfect base camp for your Franconia Notch adventure.
As you arrive, you'll be greeted by a spacious multi-purpose common area designed for fun, convenience, and 3-season enjoyment. A large garage-style door can be opened flooding the space with fresh air and natural light in the warmer months, opening directly onto a small deck with a propane grill—ideal for summer barbecues or relaxing après-hike afternoons. Inside, you'll find ski and gear racks, a game table, and a high-top table where you can gather for a drink, map out the next day's plans, or enjoy a round of cards. Step just beyond the deck and grill to the front yard, complete with a fire pit perfect for s'mores under a blanket of White Mountain stars.
Head back inside and settle into the cozy main living space. This inviting living area features comfortable recliners, a TV and a wood stove for cozy relaxation. Beyond this, a well-equipped kitchen with everything you need for home-cooked meals, a dining area for four, and walkout slider to the back of the house. The main level is completed by a full bathroom with a shower/tub combo and an easy-to-use incinerator toilet. A central room doubles as a dedicated workspace and reading nook, offering a desk, laptop cubby, and a quiet spot to enjoy your morning coffee or wrap up a bit of remote work.
Upstairs from the reading nook, the sleeping loft provides a separated sleeping area with comfortable sleeping space for up to 4. At the top of the stairs is a lovely Queen bedroom with TV. After passing through the Queen Bedroom and a storage area is a second bedroom with a twin bed plus trundle and a small desk. The central storage area separates the two distinct sleeping areas with doors.
Whether you're here to ski the slopes of Cannon, hike Franconia Ridge, explore local towns, or simply relax in a space full of charm and history, The Barn offers a truly memorable White Mountains stay.
