Franconia is a small town located in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. It is named after the Swiss town of Franconia due to its remarkable resemblance. Its economy was initially based on mining various types of iron in the area. Now, it is known for being home to the Cannon Mountain Aerial Tramway, which takes passengers up 4000 feet (1000 meters) to the Canon Mountain Summit. Franconia is a quiet town with not much nightlife. However, its peaceful nature and beautiful sights are why it is popular as a getaway destination today.

3. Rooms in a farmhouse (from USD 165)
With three bedrooms and one bathroom, this Airbnb vacation rental can sleep eight guests. The rental is part of a farmhouse that was built in 1852 but only started taking in boarders nearly 50 years later.

4. Farmhouse accommodation (from USD 175)
This rental is a different part of the same century-and-a-half farmhouse in listing three above.
