The space An Enchanting Farm Stay Beckons After an easy drive from all points in New England, you will enter the gates of Stepping Stones Farm. The Lodge is located on a 28-acre farm, surrounded by hundreds of acres of conserved land while being an easy drive from the Boston, MA and Manchester, NH airports. From before the founding of our country, the farm has been a Gathering Place for the community, as well as weary travelers from afar. Stage coaches once stopped here on their arduous journey from Boston to Montreal. Today, it is a welcoming space for larger groups of family and friends, as well as retreat and corporate groups. 10 bedrooms, with comfortable mattresses and crisp white linens, invite an afternoon nap or a good night’s sleep. With an ADA Ramp, four bedrooms and two bathrooms on the first floor, the Lodge easily accommodates people with mobility challenges. The Great Room invites shared meals with two large dining tables. It also encourages lots of conversations and fun around the Fire Place with big comfy couches. The main room can also be reconfigured for meetings or retreats. With a fully finished basement, kids can have their own fun. Indoor games can be enjoyed and lots of puzzles made. A long front porch with rocking chairs encourages relaxation and connection. Outdoor dining with twinkling lights offers great opportunities to enjoy grilling out and lingering over a meal. Cool off in the swimming pool and watch the farm’s horses, goats and chickens from the Gazebo while you sip something cool. Play lawn games and enjoy S’Mores around the Fire Circle. Explore the 2nd floor of the massive three-story barn that remains the largest intact “Bank Barn” on the East coast. Corporate clients can meet in the spacious Wisdom Horse Conference Room with solid Wi-Fi and AV equipment needed to plan creatively and strengthen their teams. Retreat leaders can use the Yoga and Meditation Room for wellness programming. Friends and families can play ping pong and explore the nooks and crannies of this historic barn. All guests can enjoy the miniature horses, play with the goats, gather eggs from the Hen House and watch the horses grazing in the fields. The Lodge is dog-friendly. We welcome dogs to be in the house but not on the beds or furniture. We also invite dogs to stroll with their owners around the farm if they are on a leash. We like to keep your dogs, and our chickens, goats and horses safe and happy. Modern Comfort Meets Rustic Charm The Lodge has undergone extensive renovations since it was built 50 years ago. It offers high speed internet for multiple users. The large, bright kitchen is fully equipped with cooking and serving pieces to bring out the chef in anyone.
