This rustic New England Farmhouse (Recently listed as one of “The best Airbnb’s in New England” by Timeout!) has all the charm of an 18th century home, complete with all the amenities you need for your next getaway or vacation! With a sprawling yard, a newly renovated kitchen (great for gatherings), a massive deck, and 5 bedrooms. Our home has room for a fun family getaway or a relaxing retreat away from the city. The space This New England colonial house was built in 1755 by a captain from Newburyport, MA. Originally 100 acres, the property now sits on 3 private acres on a corner lot in the scenic town of Chester, NH. The house retains many of its original features, including King Pine floors & walls, and brick fireplace & cooking kettle. We have updated many features of the house, including renovating the kitchen, bathrooms, and bedrooms, while maintaining much of the original architecture. The large 500 square foot hardwood deck is perfect for gatherings. Across the street from the property boasts over 500 acres of walking/snow shoeing and horse trails. Just a 5 minute walk down the road sits Hazelton Orchards, where you can go apple and peach picking! The house is just an hours drive to the White Mountains, an hour to Boston, and 45 minutes to the seacoast! Guest access Guests will have access to the entire house and its amenities. We will pick veggies from the garden (when available) and leave for you in the kitchen. We just ask that you stay out of the garage, barn, and basement Other things to note The house is very private, but we ask that you respect the neighbors by keeping late night disturbances or noise to a minimum. The pool is not available to renters due to insurance coverage. Four of the bedrooms are upstairs, and one downstairs with an attached bathroom which is ideal for anyone with physical limitations. The house is loaded with character, and with that comes some uneven floor spaces, and a narrow staircase. If you are at all concerned about mobility please contact us! The floors do creak a lot (old house charm) so don’t be surprised to hear some squeaks! Lady Bugs will sometimes be found in some bedrooms of the house during colder months. They are harmless and are seeking warmth. We do our best to eradicate them between bookings, but often return. Please let us know if they become a problem.
