A unique home with lots of nooks and crannies to explore and gorgeous views from every window. In spite of the rain and cloudy weather, we enjoyed exploring the area and spending quiet time reading the memorabilia about Bette Davis. Our least favorite thing was the stuffed raccoon in the Silo!

Wonderful place, handsomely maintained, richly atmospheric… most assuredly “not a dump”

This was a one of a kind stay. This rustic barn house stands as a testament to a bygone era. We love old houses and live in one ourselves so we felt right at home. If you love ultra minimal modern spaces then this would not be a right fit for you. We very much enjoyed all the rustic spaces and opening all the windows and taking in the breezes and beautiful natural scenery that surrounds the property. My husband and I took up permanent residence in the facing wing chairs next to the huge casement windows with our coffee in the morning and our New England IPA in the evening. We took a little ride to the Conway area and were so glad we booked Sugar Hill. Conway was so commercial and Sugar Hill is really quiet and relaxing with little country stores etc. Be sure to stop by Harman's Cheese (best Cheddar!) and try Polly's Pancakes for breakfast! Littleton is just 15 minutes away if you want a slice of a little city life while staying in the country. We loved sleeping with all the windows open and hearing nothing but the birds in the morning. It was truly a special experience that our family will remember fondly. My boys loved the silo observatory in the home. Bette Davis built a true shangri la in the White Mountains here and it was special to experience a little of what she loved.

Our stay at Butternut was perfect. The home is even more beautiful than it is in the pictures. It is well stocked with anything you could ever need and provided a central location for many hiking trails. We hope to visit again someday!

This was our second year at Butternut Lodge and again, it was absolutely perfect. The history of the lodge, heavenly location and modern amenities made our second stay just as wonderful as our first. We even saw a baby bear! Thank you to the owners for sharing their beautiful place with us. We want to go back again next year!

A very lovely property. Fabulous fireplaces and amazing views. The bedrooms are quirky but the overall experience was great with skiing very close by.
