Discover a rare piece of White Mountain history at Bretton Woods' iconic Gingerbread House — a quirky Victorian gem once owned by Sylvester Marsh, the visionary behind the Mount Washington Cog Railway. This ornate, storybook home offers an extraordinary opportunity to experience true 19th-century charm while enjoying modern comfort and unbeatable proximity to skiing, hiking, and the historic Mount Washington Hotel.
This unique 5-bedroom, 5-bed, 3-bathroom home accommodates up to 10 guests across thoughtfully designed spaces.

The private North Wing offers a full bedroom with its own small bathroom and shower, providing perfect retreat space.
The home's character shines through multiple living areas, including a main-level living room with slope views and wet bar — ideal for après-ski cocktails or hot cocoa — plus a second living room perfect for family movie nights. The kitchen and dining area seat 8, with additional bar seating for 7 more guests. Two decks offer spectacular views: a main-level deck overlooking Bretton Woods' award-winning ski slopes, and an upper deck complete with picnic table and grill.
Located in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire's largest ski resort and consistently rated #1 in the East for snow and grooming, you're minutes from the historic Mount Washington Hotel with its award-winning spa, restaurants, and activities ranging from zip lining to horseback riding.
