My mother's family settled Windy Row in the early 1800s and this property was owned by her uncle, Homer Bigelow. This was the original caretaker's cottage. Homer's brick house burned down in 1938 - just before the famed 1938 Hurricane that wiped out all of the trees and many buildings here in Peterborough and the surrounding towns. The foundation can still be seen. Homer was a Boston based artist and this was his retreat. He converted the dairy barn (now attached to our house across from you) to be his art studio and it is mostly untouched since he died in the 1950's. We now use it as our living room, my photo studio and a private event rental spot (See Cold Comfort Farm / Cold Comfort Farm House Concerts on FB) for WEDDINGS AND CONCERTS. We are only minutes from the downtowns of Peterborough, Hancock, Harrisville and Dublin, yet we are private and secluded. We have a beautiful view of Grand Monadnock and there is always a light-show on the mountain morning and evening. Our horses graze in the pasture just outside your door, and our rooster will wake you in the mornings. Guest access PLEASE NOTE: We have internet TV, but no cable.
