Gingerbread House: Historical Bretton Woods Home with Direct Slope Views!

RARE PRIVATE BRETTON WOODS HOME STEEPED IN HISTORY!
Step back in time at Bretton Woods' iconic Gingerbread House — a rare Victorian gem once owned by Sylvester Marsh, the visionary behind the Mount Washington Cog Railway. Perched just above historic Fabyan's Station, now a delicious restaurant, this ornate, storybook home is directly tied to the golden age of White Mountain rail travel. Guests can experience the charm of a true 19th-century landmark while staying steps from the very landscape that inspired one of New England's greatest engineering feats. With its rich history, handcrafted details, and unbeatable proximity to skiing, hiking, and the Mount Washington Hotel, this is more than a getaway — it's your chance to live inside the legacy of the Cog itself.

The home's main level features a living room with slope views and wet bar - perfect for that apres-ski cocktail or hot cocoa, while a second living room on the same floor adds space for the kids to watch their favorite movie. In addition, this level includes a King bedroom and a pass-through bedroom with a Twin over Twin bunk bed, plus a bathroom with walk-in shower, and a lovely deck overlooking the award winning ski slopes of Bretton Woods. Laundry is also available for your convenience.

Upstairs, there are two separate wings. The first includes the kitchen, a dining area with seating for 8 (in addition to the bar area that sits 7!), and the upper deck, complete with picnic table, grill, and more fabled views of Bretton Woods. This wing also includes a Queen bedroom, a bedroom with 2 Twin beds, and a bathroom with shower. On the other side, the North Wing includes a very private Full bedroom, and an additional small bathroom with shower.
Quirky but full of character, this home is ready to welcome you as a very unique option for your vacation in Bretton Woods. Your dog is welcome to join, as well! Whether you're here to ski, snowshoe, hike, golf, or simply chill, make your stay a historical one at the Gingerbread House!
