New years Eve 2023
We loved every minute of it. The lodge was very clean and so inviting! Our hostess Sandy was our personal chef for the evening and our meal was absolutely delicious. She also told us the history of the lodge and the town of Warren! She was wonderful!!

A Dream Stay for Mom's 70th Birthday Celebration
What a lovely place to bring the family! We are so pleased with Sean & Sandy and the home they shared with us. They did an amazing job renovating a property with modern amenities and keeping the irreplaceable historic charm of Bailey's Tavern. The games in the barn, the screening room, nearby trails, and beautiful mountain views. We couldn't be more thankful that we chose this place for our stay. Book it! You won't regret it. :-)

Perfect family reunion!
We stayed at Rustic Gatherings for a family reunion of 10 adults and 3 little kids, and just had the best time! The house is great for all ages, and equipped with everything you need for a lovely stay. We had so much fun playing in the river behind the house, making s'mores in the fire pit, BBQing, and watching movies in the movie room. Sandy and Sean are so welcoming and helpful, and even went above and beyond to make sure our family found us when some of us decided to tube down the river! Added bonus, there's a great little blueberry picking farm about 10 minutes up the road.

Best Time
Everything was even better then the listing read. Space for kids and adults. Even though it rained a few days there was loads of activities in the Barn for the kids. The hostess was wonderful and responded quickly to our questions via text. Would definitely recommend this property for large families.

About the host

Hosted by Sandy Donahue

Host profile image
My name is Sandy, and we are the Donahue's, Sandy, Sean, RJ, Tucker, and Drew. I grew up in Warren, moved away then decided to come back and raise our children in a place I have always loved to call home. I am an Event Planner and Personal Chef and have spent my life entertaining, and planning gatherings for work and friends and family. My husband, Sean grew up in Vermont, hunting and fishing so moving to NH was a natural choice. We enjoy hiking, fishing, kayaking, ATVing, snowmobiling, and camping. We have a passion for community and support local shops & businesses. We cook using foods from local farmers, dairies, and butchers. After the youngest of our three boys left home, we decided to rent out such a big house to others so they could enjoy the house and area as much as we did.

Sandy & Sean

Why they chose this property

Rustic Gatherings Lodge is located on Main Street of a small country town, it's unique because 'it's where families and friends vacation together'. As a Personal Chef, I would travel to cook for vacationers and there were two complaints, 'we can't find a place big enough for all of us to stay together, and there are too many of us to go out to a restaurant'. The house was built in the mid-1800s and features beautiful wood floors throughout and exposed wood beams.

Once a tavern we have restored this home to most of its original condition. Our lodge provides both a place large enough for everyone can stay together, with a big kitchen for dining and larger day gatherings outside for small events and weddings. The house is equipped with many amenities and provides a relaxing vacation whether out back on the deck, at the fire pit by the river, hiking in the woods, swimming along the many swimming holes on the river, lakes or ponds, hiking or riding through the beautiful White Mountain Forest.

All rentals are subject to NH 9% Room & Meals Tax (NH Issued License Number: 060479)
