Step back in time and take in the wall of Bette Davis photos, articles, and memorabilia that have remained in her former home on Butternut Lane in Sugar Hill, New Hampshire. You read that right. Bette Davis, iconic film star from the 1930s, purchased this home after falling in love with the White Mountains while taking skiing lessons at Peckett's Inn. Subsequent owners have maintained the historical integrity and appointments in the cottage, including hand hewn beam ceilings, wainscoted walls, multiple fireplaces - one with a bread oven, softwood floors, paned windows, and hammered metal door hardware. You get the best of both worlds, nostalgic cottage quaintness and updated systems, electrical and geo-thermal heat. The quiet 5 acre setting is just a couple of miles from the village of Franconia and I-93, providing easy direct access from Boston.
