Franconia, NH – The Gale River Motel, one of New Hampshire's leading eco-friendly lodging in the heart of the White Mountains has been sold.

Former owner, Kevin Johnson and his family have been operating the Gale River Motel since 2002. Over the course of the past twenty years, Johnson has updated the Motel with a focus on sustainable lodging, earning many local and national awards.

It's a great story, and true and when Jane told us earlier this year, we could picture it!

Jane shared a story that it's never too early to earn your customer service chops. At a very young age, Jane worked in a retail business where one of her jobs at Christmas was to open the toys and play with them in the store, which prompted people to purchase the train set or doll house because she was having so much fun.  

Jane said, "This exposure propelled me into a lifelong career in various customer service-related?positions and eventually into Real Estate," she says. We have had the pleasure of welcoming Jane to Peabody & Smith Realty. Jane is a full-time Sales Associate in our Littleton office. Jane is from Dalton is has done a great job helping people find their place to call home and listing property.
