“Morningstar” A-Frame: Relax, Recharge, Explore

Ready to truly unwind? Welcome to Morningstar, a cozy and thoughtfully curated A-frame designed for skiers, hikers, outdoor lovers, and anyone craving a peaceful reset. From the moment you arrive, this home invites you to slow down, breathe deep, and leave feeling relaxed and refreshed.

Tucked away in Bethlehem, NH, just minutes off I-93 and steps from The Rocks Estate, Morningstar offers an unbeatable location. You’re close to local favorites like Rek’lis and Schilling Beer Co., excellent dining options, premier hiking trails, and some of New England’s best skiing—Cannon Mountain (15 min), Bretton Woods (20 min), and Loon (30 min)—making this an ideal year-round base for adventure.

Winter days are perfect for skiing followed by a magical evening at the nearby Ice Castles. In warmer months, enjoy golf, hiking in Franconia Notch, or simply unwind with a family evening around the firepit under the stars.

Inside, the home features a fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances and a Keurig coffee maker. Start your morning with a cup of coffee on the deck, relax in the gazebo, or curl up in one of the cozy reading nooks or in the cozy TV area.  For year-round comfort, the home is equipped with air conditioning as well as a wood pellet stove to keep things cozy in colder months, and wifi, of course, is provided free of charge. 

The home offers two comfortable bedrooms—a main-level bedroom with a queen bed and an upstairs bedroom with a full bed, accessed by a somewhat steep staircase. With two full bathrooms, one with shower and a primary bathroom with both shower and soothing jacuzzi tub, relaxation is always within reach.

Whether you’re here to explore the White Mountains or simply slow down and recharge, Morningstar is the perfect place to feel at home.
