About this property
Birchwood Retreat: spacious & modern forest refuge
Escape to our cozy retreat in the heart of the White Mountains, perfect for families and friends seeking relaxation and outdoor adventures. Our modern, spacious home offers a serene base to unwind and reconnect with nature year-round. Greet the day with forest views, explore nearby hiking trails, hit the slopes, or indulge in our community center amenities. Enjoy winter evenings by the fireplace or summer nights roasting marshmallows around the backyard campfire. The mountains are calling!
THE SPACE Perfect for a family reunion, vacation with two families, special get-together, gathering of friends, or private business retreat. This premium, large chalet home has plenty of space to comfortably accommodate 10 people.
3-levels, 3,500 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 3 living rooms, 2 wood-burning fireplaces, garage, huge deck, back yard, fire pit, and much more!
The house is secluded even though there are other nearby homes. The yard is private, especially in the summer with all the trees. In the winter, after the leaves drop, there is a nice view of mountains through the trees. Situated on a two-acre wooded lot, there is plenty of space to spread out both indoors and out.
Fully equipped! We provide linens, towels, pool towels, soap, shampoo, conditioner, coffee (drip, French press, K-cup, Nespresso), tea, and all the essentials!
Propane grill and patio furniture available spring through fall.
