Wonderful spot
Sugar Bear is a great find just outside Franconia Notch. Our family of four (plus our dog) had a lovely time staying here. The host, Kat, is very responsive and provided clear directions for us. The cabin is a recent build and very well appointed. Our 7 yo loved the drum set in the basement (parents beware!). We’ve been disappointed in the past with places rated highly for cleanliness only to find that others’ definition of clean must vary drastically from our own. That’s not the case here! The cabin was spotless and we were instantly comfortable. The kitchen has everything you need. We cooked most meals here as there isn’t much in the way of takeout options in Franconia. The Franconia Market had everything we needed, though, even with some dietary restrictions and a picky young eater in our group. The location is great with lovely westerly views and feels secluded on a heavily wooded site. We didn’t see any moose but heard them at night and found ample evidence of local wildlife (moose, coyotes, etc.) exploring the grounds. We used Sugar Bear as a jumping off point for hikes through Franconia Notch State Park which is about 15 min. away. If you’re looking for a peaceful, comfy place to stay, you couldn’t do better. We’d definitely stay again!
