Charming House on 7 Acres in Rural New Hampshire

This magical place has been our home away from home for twenty years and we are excited to share it with you. We hope you'll experience the same time-out-of-time feeling we get when sitting out on the deck in the early morning or looking up on a moonless night as the Milky Way snakes its way across the dark sky. The house sits on seven mostly wooded acres that abut a scenic beaver pond. The property is located on a quiet unpaved road in rural New Hampshire. Inside, you'll love the open feeling of our house, especially the great room with its cathedral ceilings. The bright all-season porch is always a wonderful place to relax and socialize. During your stay you will have exclusive use of the house and property. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you'll need for your home cooking. There is a coffee maker with some supplies to get you started. Towels and bathroom supplies are provided and you can let us know if there's anything you need that we might have forgotten. There is a small TV with DVD player and a collection of DVDs for you to enjoy. You're also welcome to use any of the many games in the house, including the mini-pool table. You are welcome to use the charcoal grill but may need to replenish the supplies. Any of our three bikes can be made available upon request. Our house sits on about 7 mostly wooded acres abutting a large beaver pond. An approximately one-acre 'country lawn' surrounds the house. You are welcome to explore any part of our property but the pond is suitable for only for beavers, waterfowl and other wildlife. It is not safe for recreational activities such as swimming or boating. We are always just a text or phone call away. You are not likely to see us since we don't live close by, however, our super co-hosts, Stephen & Bailey are just down the road. If you like country life, you'll love our place any time of year. Fall leaf-peeping season is a must. You are almost certain to see some wildlife during your stay. If you don't see deer, a moose, bear, bobcat or even a beaver swimming out on the pond - there are plenty of squirrels, chipmunks, turtles, wild turkey, geese, heron and other bird life to keep you company. The area is great for anyone who likes the outdoors. There are numerous hiking trails, several lakes and mountains, a golf course and a ski hill within a radius of a few miles. World-famous Mount Monadnock is an easy drive away. The little town of Greenfield is about 2 miles away where you'll find a market where you can find most of what you might need for your home cooking . About 8 miles from Greenfield is charming Peterborough where you'll find several good restaurants, a pub, a diner, a great bookstore, and a host of little boutique shops. In WINTER, even though town roads (and our driveway) are plowed regularly, driving in rural New Hampshire can be difficult due to accumulated ice and snow. It is strongly advised that your vehicle is equipped with snow tires or good all-season tires. Muddy roads in the SPRING can also be difficult to negotiate for vehicles with poor traction. Please be advised that, especially in the late SPRING and in SUMMER, you may have to contend with not-so-welcome pests like deer-flies, mosquitoes and wasps. We wish they weren't there or could be convinced to leave you alone but, alas, this is country life. Black flies are especially abundant and biting in May and early June until those beautiful dragonflies arrive. PETS are welcome but please let us know if they will be joining you. We do ask that you discourage your pets from using the furniture. Also, please pick up after your dog even if it's out on the expansive 'country lawn'. For your pets' safety, they should not be allowed to free roam to avoid unpleasant or even lethal encounters with any of the animals that may be around, especially coyotes, bobcats, beavers, porcupines and skunks.
