an 1892 barn, sparked a newfound passion
for antiquing, and today the couple finds it
hard to walk past an antiques shop without
popping in to peruse the offerings. Newer
touches also show up in the kitchen, such as
the mottled granite countertops and beautiful
white oak cabinetry and from The Boulia-
Gorrell Lumber Company in Laconia.
“We really love the idea of mixing in the
old, rustic pieces with modern luxury,” ex-
plains Sharon.
The cabin’s guests are equally smitten with
the home. In fact, visitors were so taken with
the idyllic retreat that they begged the home-
owners to build a second rental cabin on the
property (which they have since done). The
cabins are offset by a matching 10-by-10-foot
log bathhouse featuring a full sink, toilet,
outdoor shower and utility room.
“I should really keep a log of all of the
amazing texts we receive after guests arrive,”
says Sharon. “They are simply in awe at the
beauty and comfort level. The home is in-
credibly peaceful. You can just sit outside
and hear nothing but loons at times. It’s
magical.”
Though many guests ask Sharon and
Peter about purchasing the house, the couple
insists it’s not for sale, and they look forward
to the day when they can retire there full-
time. They realize that they have created
their own Shangri-La, and they don’t plan
on parting ways anytime soon.
