Alpine Sanctuary ~ The Great Northern Tea Haus ~ European flair, woodland locale

Welcome to the second iteration of the Great Northern Tea Haus- under new concierge-style management and offering custom amenities. The G.N. Tea Haus offers a completely novel getaway, unlike anything else you'll find in the North Woods.

A cobblestone cottage nestled in a remote woodland setting, the cottage perches perfectly between whimsy and tranquility, wonder and warmth.

We provide a cheerful respite for romantic getaways and families, as well as digital nomads in need of a recharge.

A vintage taxidermy collection, a gallery of windows, hand-painted murals and indulgent treats await you alongside natural fiber bedding and organic personal care products.

Visiting the Tea Haus is like stumbling onto a fairytale treasure trove in the pine forest. Ancient stone exterior and fireplace, Scandinavian-inspired woodwork, Old World hand-painted folk and fine art combine to transport guests to another time and place.

We pride ourselves on offering what the Swedish call "Lagom," and Goldlilocks called "Just Right."

We don't have giant flat screen TVs and state-of-the-art jacuzzis; we have a collection of vinyl records, and organic personal care products on hand.

We don't have a Keurig or a microwave; we have imported organic beverages and a kitchen stocked with essentials for people who love to prepare whole food from scratch. In addition to our imported chocolates, biscuits, coffee and tea, we offer our own organic herbal tea blend and locally baked sourdough brioche loaf.

We don't have a central location and bustling night-life; we have local maps of riverine adventures, restaurants and farmsteads, vintage storybooks and board games for the whole family. Cotton bathrobes and slippers await you in the closet.

We are particularly keen on dogs and have a fully stocked "Doggy Depot" corner with bedding, treats, leashes, dishes, snacks and clean-up supplies on hand for our four-legged friends.

We have an assortment of vintage toys and pastimes for children that harken back to our own childhoods, where we read 'Blueberries for Sal' and dreamed of Maine from afar.

The Entryway- is a perfect space for transitioning from outdoor activities into a "Hygge" and cozy mode.

The Great Room- is a large combined space with a twin-bed sleeping nook at either end, flanking the kitchen and dining area. Open shelves house a majority of our utensils and amenities, while additional supplies are available in the yellow-painted hutch. Tea, coffee, espresso, hot chocolate, sparkling water and non-alcoholic cordials are available for all guests at all times alongside several jars of sweet treats and whole-shell nuts for cracking by hand.

The Bedroom- offers a relaxing minimalist space with elegant adornment. All beds in the Tea Haus are comprised of organic mattresses with either wool or bamboo toppers, organic cotton or linen sheets and duvets, as well as Pendleton wool blankets which may be hung in the bedroom closet depending on the season, alongside extra pillows and bedding. Two bathrobes are available in the closet for guest use.

The Bathroom- The Leporine Latrine is a tiny room that packs a major punch! The small space is decked out ceiling-to-floor in rabbit-themed designs which bring levity and laughter to the most routine daily activities. Organic products from Public Goods as well as organic personal hygiene products are available. Our shower light offers Red Light Therapy although the bathroom itself has several lighting options and a makeup mirror on the window for optimal application.

The Sunroom- is the crown jewel of the Tea Haus! A converted porch, the pine-clad room enjoys views on all sides of the surrounding woods. Wild turkeys, deer, owls, partridges and kestrels appear with regularity and suspect the property in fact belongs to them. We have also hosted several black bears and a moose enjoying a woodland stroll. Our sunroom runs on a mini-split climate control system to offer you air conditioning in summer and a bit of extra warmth in the winter.

Exterior - Enjoy the safety of a fenced-in front yard with children and pets alike, which offers views of the local Mahoosuc mountain range. Native and perennial garden beds delight the senses during spring, summer and fall as hummingbirds visit the bathroom window, pollinators dance along our small stream and fun-size frogs happily hop amongst yarrow and thyme.
A seasonally-available firepit and outdoor seating area are accessible from front and sideyards, as well as directly from the sunroom. We provide grilling amenities as well as a bocce and croquet.

***Special Note***

In our efforts toward sustainable pest management, two barn cats reside at the Tea Haus property. They are disinterested in people and pets, and have their own living quarters separated from the house. Please don’t seek them out as they are ‘working cats’ and don’t enjoy company.



Microchip entries into their quarters, cameras, automatic feeders and regular neighbor wellness checks have all been arranged for them, so if you are lucky enough to spot Bonnie or Clyde, there's no need to wonder for their well-being. They are living their dream!
