About Riverside Fuller Camp 9-bedroom Timber-frame Cottage

Fuller Camp was built by my great-grandfather in 1917. It sits on the granite banks of the Baker River that flows down from Mt Moosilauke, one of the beautiful mountains in the White Mountain National Forest. Grandpa Fuller chose well when he built the camp on the best swimming hole on the river. On a sunny day, the rocks are hot and the water is cool, and the waterfalls give you a massage, or carry you down on your inner tube. You can dive from the "turtle head," or wade from the little sandy beaches, fly fish or pan for gold; or you can hike from one of dozens of trailheads in the area, or enjoy a trip to our favorite tourist attraction, Clarks' Trading Post. The house has a giant living room with timber framing and a stone fireplace, where charades, reading out loud, card games and conversation have been enjoyed for decades. The huge porch and deck overlook the river, a perfect place for breakfast and reading the newspaper. The main house has 6 bedrooms (all with 2 twin beds) and 3 bathrooms. The small house has 3 bedrooms (2 with 2 twin beds, one with a queensize) and 1 bathroom, plus its own kitchen. The Camp has NO WIFI and NO CELL COVERAGE, NO HEAT OR INSULATION (strictly seasonal). It is completed secluded and has 195 acres of land. The Village of Warren is two miles away, with Calamity Jane's (a great restaurant and the nearest WiFi), a gas station and general store, an ice cream stand, a pizza place, a firehouse, the fish hatchery, a couple churches, a library (yoga classes!) and the famous rocket on the village green. About 20 minutes away are the towns of Lincoln and North Woodstock and Plymouth, with movies, shopping, sights, activities and amenities of all sorts. Mt Washington is about an hour away. Don't miss the Cog Railway that takes you to the top, with a spectacular view of the whole Presidential Range. Also nearby are The Basin, Franconia Notch, The Flume, Cannon and Loon Mountain Gondolas. But our favorite activity is hanging out at Fuller Camp, building rock sculptures on the river, balancing the stones till they are several feet high; swimming in the cold water then sunning on the rocks. Evenings are filled with big family dinners and then charades by the fire.
