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.

What a great house, with lots to do, on a beautiful river! The spot has it all for a big group. We highly recommend it! Sandy was fantastic and a very attentive host.

We had a great stay at Rustic Gatherings Lodge for a bachelorette party! Sandy was so communicative throughout the booking process (as well as during our stay) and answered all questions I had. Everyone was very comfortable at the Lodge and we had a lot of fun staying there.

There are so many great things about this property, but at the top of the list are the hosts, Sandy and Sean. They are full of information about the area, incredibly responsive, so very friendly, and have put together a place where everyone in your group will have a great time. We initially searched for a place that had to have 6 bedrooms to accommodate our family coming in from South Carolina, Texas, and three New England states. What we got was so much more. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable; the living and family rooms had plenty of seating for hanging with family; the large dining-room table right off the kitchen big enough to seat 10. There is a big 4-season porch, and a large back deck overlooking a river, Just a beautiful setting. Past the kitchen was another commercial-type kitchen with a large refrigerator and huge double sink. Every pot, pan, baking sheet, cup, glass, plate, utensil you would ever need is in this house. But the best part, especially for our family with 10 adults, two teenagers, a 4-year old, and two infants was The Barn! Sure, we saw the description in the ad, but we still couldn't believe it when we saw it. Accessing through the commercial kitchen up a small flight of stairs is a small living area, another bedroom, 3/4 bath on this floor with a Game Room. The Game Room was where we spent a lot of time: Air Hockey, Pool Table, Foosball, Table Shuffleboard, Darts, another living-room area, and so many toys for younger kids. If that wasn't enough, up the stairs to the next level revealed another 3/4 bath and a Movie Theater! Big screen, great sound system, and probably close to 2000 DVDs (maybe more). Sandy and Sean have created and maintained a place where large families can come together and make a lot of memories. We certainly did, and if our family comes together again like this past Christmas/New Year, Rustic Gatherings will be at the top of our list.

We really enjoyed our stay over the holidays. Sandy went above and beyond to have the house decorated and perfect for our arrival. She also maintained great communication and had all the info I needed for my stay ready and accessible in the house. There was so much to explore in the house, and the kids really loved the game room in the barn. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to host a large group of people, and enjoys rustic charm.

Extremely family friendly! We had10 adults and 13 kids (3-13). There was plenty of space for all to enjoy. The Baker River in the backyard was the highlight for the kids. They were always out there! After a day in the River, we enjoyed time in the hot tub, making s’mores by the campfire or walking down to Moose Scoops for ice creams. The Barn is an awesome extra. It has entertainment for everyone from games , books, football, air hockey, wall chalkboard, shuffleboard and even a theatre with 2500 dvds. Kids and adults were also fascinated with the working record player and record collection. Most importantly, Sandy was a hands on host. she was always available to answer any questions we had. We are very grateful to Sandy and Sean for the opportunity to stay in such a doecial

I can't say enough about our stay. We were a group of 15 adults there for a 40th birthday party. Sandy was so helpful in answering questions ahead of our group arriving. Check-in process was wonderful with Sandy giving us a quick tour and showing all of the space and amenities available. The house, barn, and backyard are huge and the pictures do not do this beautiful property justice. My friends and I loved hanging out in the backyard by the river and in the hot tub. The outdoor bar is so cool. The entire house was very clean, bedrooms were comfortable, and there was so much space to hang out that people could get some time to themselves if needed. It's very close to a general store and we walked down the road to get ice cream. We hated to leave when it was over. Thank you so much Sandy for a wonderful weekend. We have already talked about returning in the future.

We stayed at the Lodge for a week to celebrate my husbands 40th and had an absolutely amazing time!! Sandy was the best hostess and the lodge provided *plenty* of activities to keep our family and friends, both young and old, entertained throughout our stay - which included sun, wind, cold, warmth and snow - gotta love New England! Thank you, Sandy and staff, for an unforgettable trip!!

We rented this for a bachelorette weekend and it could not have been more perfect! And the communication/greeting from the owner was impeccable. Sandy met us and showed us all we needed to know. Not only that but she had a cute little note and some chocolates for our group. The hospitality was so kind! She also was reachable via text which was super helpful! Now to the house - first of all, it’s huge! The pictures don’t do the size justice. When you pull up it’s deceiving from the road what lies within. The house is super cozy - from the eat-in kitchen to the multiple living rooms, breakfast sunroom, and barn! The barn, is amazing! We didn’t have enough time to utilize all that is in the barn/theatre. We were 10 people but this place can easily accommodate many more. I wish we had more time to enjoy everything. We wanted a weekend where we didn’t have to go anywhere and this fulfilled that beyond anything we could have imagined!

Sandy's home was a great location for our group of 19. The home had everything needed and more. Loved the river right outside the back deck. Plenty of sleeping space and parking for everyone. Would highly recommend for a large group gathering. Sandy was also super with communication.

It was a very good vacation experience: interesting house with a lot of amenities. The owners were very responsive and very clear with directions and answers. We are looking forward to stay at the house again.

This place is amazing. The game room has everything plus a theater upstairs. The key is that is all separated from the bedrooms so people can go to bed and the party animals can stay up playing games without bothering them! Perfect for large family groups!

Located right on the river, this property felt like an intimate retreat. We had such a great time, and we didn't even leave the house. I absolutely recommend this listing!

The House was nothing but Awesome. Spacious beautifully decorated bedrooms with comfortable beds. The bathrooms and living rooms were comfortable and beautiful as well. My wife loved the two kitchens. They had every thing you need. Pots, pans, utensils, cooking supplies, etc. However, in my opinion the attached Barn was the best part of the home. The kids loved loved it. Full of games, toys, puzzles, a movie theater with tons of movies, adult games, etc. We had family tournaments on the shuffleboard and pool tables. A BLAST! We have been meeting each year for a family reunion and this tops every place we have ever rented. The host Sandy could not have been more attentive and helpful. I texted her a couple times and she got right back and even stopped by to make sure everything was fine. She and her husband are the best! I would recommend this rental to anyone.

Sandy is an excellent host. Always available to answer any questions. The property is perfect for family time together.. from the amazing kitchen to the game room and plenty of places to sleep! The lodge has everything you need and plenty of spaces to get together as a big group, or find a quiet place for a little R&R. We hope to be guests again in the future!

The house was exactly how pictured and so much better. So much room and so much space. So much for the kids todo. Wish we could have stayed longer. The Host was Everything.. we appreciated her so much. She answered any questions we needed answered and even came by and showed us how to work her appliances the correct way. 10/10

We went up to celebrate my husband's 40th birthday with a group of 22 friends and family members and it was AMAZING. The house and barn were clean and spacious for large groups. Lots of personalized touches that make the place incredibly charming. The yard is perfect for yard games and outdoor summer fun. It is so clear that Sandy takes pride in this property and making sure everyone's stay is the very best. She made us a gorgeous and delicious cake from scratch and her husband set up a late night outdoor movie for us. We even took a walking field trip to the common to enjoy a free concert one night. Everything about this trip was perfect and we have Sandy to thank for that!

Just came home from the rustic gatherings lodge and we are sad to be back home. This home had such charm and warmth and so much to do on and off the property. It is right on the baker river, literally in the back yard with a swimming hole a few feet away that my family enjoyed. While it is secluded, the closest market is only about 20 min away which is not bad at all and is close to tons of attractions, swimming holes, etc. you will not regret staying here with your friends and/or family! Last but not least, Sandy is the most amazing host I’ve ever interacted with she truly felt like family and was always there if we needed her with just one phone call! Thanks so much Sandy to you and your family!

We were a group of 18 family members that stayed for 4 nights in July. Ages of kids ranged from 7 to 17 as well as a few in their 20s ... plus 8 adults... Despite the weather not being quite what we wanted, we still had a wonderful time! Loved the deck/bar/hot tub area! Plenty of space to spread out - especially the barn for the kids/teens! They LOVED it! Yard was HUGE and firepit area was great for gathering (once the rain stopped)! We got one day of sunshine and enjoyed the river right out back... Having 2 kitchens was great for prepping large meals for 18! Had a wonderful time and will definitely consider this property again!

The house has many rooms, lots of space to relax, do you own thing, or come together as the mood fits. We were four couples, longtime friends who hadn't been together for any amount of time since the pandemic and this was the perfect place to reunite. Sandy is very responsive to inquiries and the house has just about everything you'll need.

We had an amazing time at the Lodge celebrating my in-laws 50th Wedding Anniversary. The Lodge has so much to offer and the pictures only hint at the fun to be had there. There is so much to do and see. We loved the deck, watching the river, the jacuzzi was so clean, the space for everyone to spread out, playing pool/air hockey in the connected barn, and just hanging out. Sandy cooked for us two amazing meals that we enjoyed the leftovers for days following. The chartreuse board she created was a masterpiece of tasty treats and all the food was simply divine. The Lodge is homey, welcoming and centrally located to all kinds of stores, restaurants and places to explore. We can't wait to head back there!!

My wife and I decided on short notice to do a quick family getaway with our college and high school-aged children, and found Rustic Gatherings. It was perfect for us. Big but cozy layout with many clean, comfortable bedrooms and sitting areas, a wonderful kitchen/dining area where we could gather over meals as a family and a HUGE attached barn outfitted with all the games and activities we could want— and dog friendly as well!We used the new grill and the large, new hot tub was perfect after we took a long hike at Mt Moosilauke nearby.We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and plan to stay here again.

The images don't do this property justice. A beautiful house with a bunch of ammenties that helped us relax for our birthday celebration with friends. Amazing hosts who pay attention to detail and provided a great space. From the hot tub, to the game room, to the chefs kitchen we can't say enough good things. We can't wait to come back!

We had a great time here, the place is ENORMOUS with a TON of character. It exceeded all expectations for hosting a Halloween themed murder mystery dinner party. Loved this place and the Owners were super helpful and generous.

Rustic Gatherings Lodge gave us a truly special and relaxing week. Our family (two teens, two adults and the Wondermutt) sorely needed to get out of the city during the pandemic, and we feel truly lucky that Rustic Gatherings and Warren NH proved to be the ideal getaway. Sandy, Sean, and their staff are very experienced, easy-going and attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed, promptly and helpfully replying to any inquiry. The house and barn are amazing— clean, very comfy, relaxed and so well-supplied. We passed many hours indoors playing air hockey, pool, and board games, and cooking in both of the well-stocked kitchens. And, there were hours spent outdoors in the hot tub and Baker River that runs through the backyard. The outdoor bar was a favorite! The local knowledge that Sandy and Sean shared took us to amazing swimming holes, quiet lakes for kayaking, scenic ponds, and the best area hikes. In nearby towns, we also found our way to an amazing Japanese-inspired tree nursery (Shin-Boku) and an excellent local pottery (Ripple). From the lodge, you can walk through the woods along a brook to get ice cream at Moose Scoops, as well as meals at a couple local restaurants. Mount Moosilauke trails are very close by, as is one of the most remote and lightly-traveled sections of the White Mountain National Forest. The Warren area is a perfect combo of “lots to do” and “hidden gem”. We’ll return, for sure—either with a large group to the main lodge or to the new guest house next door that they’re finishing up.
