Our cozy cottage is on a mountain stream near Mt. Cardigan in central New Hampshire. It's on a slow rural road with a few neighbors within sight and plenty of privacy. A great place for one or two couples, or for a family with 3 or 4 children.
We have a cozy cottage for rent on Fowler River, a clear mountain stream in Alexandria, New Hampshire. The cottage is about 50 feet from the river, which cascades over rapids and a small waterfall into an 8-foot deep pool for swimming. There are lots of boulders in the river good for sun bathing, sitting with your feet in the water, and generally lazing around. The backyard, next to the river, has a picnic table, lawn furniture, and a campfire pit.
There are three bedrooms, one with a full bed, one with two twin beds, and one with a full bed in an unheated, unattached building. For added sleeping, there is a fold out couch in the living room that folds out to a large twin size bed. So it sleeps 6+ in the summer, 4+ in the winter. It is winterized with good insulation and gas heat.
The cottage is about 600 square feet plus the unheated bedroom, and is a very nice space to be in. The main living space is an L-shaped open area with the kitchen next to the dining room/living room. A small wood stove with a glass front is nice for evening fires. Firewood is provided. Large sliding glass windows in the dining room/living room area afford a great view of the river. There is a small deck overlooking the back yard and the river.
The cottage is in the lakes district of New Hampshire, in the foothills of the White Mountains (it is just a few miles east of Mount Cardigan and west of Newfound Lake). It is about 115 miles from downtown Boston, 100 miles of which are on I-93. So it's about a two hour drive from Boston.
