This space is so beautiful and calm, impeccably decorated and had just about any amenity you can think of. The special touches like a personalized greeting board and wine to greet is was amazing and we felt very taken care of. Christopher was very responsive and available for questions. He was also very flexible in helping us book the stay. We cannot say enough about how beautiful, interesting, and relaxing this place is. We’ll definitely be back!

This is easily one of the best Airbnb experience my wife and I have had. it is not often that we are talking about returning again 5min after check in. The space is huge but did not feel empty, thanks to all the thoughtful items that were offered. The view was fantastic, and I can only imagine it being better when the river thaws in Spring or during the foliage season. Christopher was also great at communication - replying to our messages and questions always ina timely manner. This is one of these rarer Airbnb experiences that presents as a step up rather than a mere alternative to a hotel room. Perfect spot for a weekend getaway.

The most peaceful setting. We lucked out arriving right as the snow was falling. It made for the most stunning view out of the large windows overlooking the water. Chris had lit the fireplaces and turned on music - so you walked into the coziest setting. We instantly felt right at home. Chris also has the most incredible welcome book out of any Airbnb I've ever stayed in. Every detail was outlined and easy to understand. I give this a 10/10. We will definitely stay here again.

If you're looking for a place with character and a great vibe, Chris's place delivers. The space has a fun, jazzy atmosphere that made our stay feel unique and memorable. Chris was an outstanding host and had everything set up perfectly. What really set him apart was how helpful he was, if you tell him what you're planning, he'll point you in the right direction and offer excellent local recommendations. Since we weren't familiar with the area, his hiking suggestions ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. Thoughtful, welcoming, and genuinely invested in making sure guests have a great experience. Highly recommend!

If you are like me and you read reviews before deciding which place to book, do yourself a favor and stop here. This place is even better in person than the already beautiful photos in the listing. I won’t spoil all the added touches that Christopher does but he has thought of everything and then some! Such a cool vibe and tons of room. You could do nothing but stay at this place for your entire trip and you’d be content. Stop browsing and book it- you’ve hit the jackpot if there is vacancy here :-)

The loft looks stunning online, and I’m happy to report that the space in real life absolutely lives up to the pics here: it is HUGE, full of light, has lots of comfortable spots to lounge, and an excellent desk setup for work. We enjoyed the layout, gorgeous view, and the cheerful balcony overlooking the river. The host Christopher is an excellent communicator and really just a consummate host: thoughtful without being intrusive. We immediately began brainstorming reasons to come back.

The mill

Noone Falls is pronounced "Noon." For years this building made the felt used to print every United States dollar.

Built in 1875 from bricks made three miles away and beams cut a few hundred yards from here, the mill ran on the Contoocook River for more than a century. The second bedroom was the bell tower.

Your host

Welcome to Noone Falls. I designed this space with relaxation and remote work in mind, and I've tried to provide everything you need for both.

I live a few minutes away and I'm always glad to help in person. Text, call or email any time, and help yourself to drinks in the fridge. Make yourself at home.
