The Old Red Mill COTTAGE (beside a waterfall)

Our 1840’s renovated grist mill is located in the beautiful Monadnock Region. The house and cottage are situated on twelve acres and includes gardens, an orchard, berry bushes, grape vines, beehives, chickens and a tremendous waterfall. We are close to many of nature’s gems including Mount Monadnock, Pack Monadnock, the Heald Tract hiking trails, skiing, snowshoeing and swimming. Also the acclaimed MacDowell Arts Center, Andy’s Summer Playhouse, Andres Institute of Art and the Waldorf Schools. The cottage is a very peaceful space with a private entrance and a porch to view the waterfall and the magnificent trees and gardens. With built-in desks, well-lit workspaces, and excellent Wifi, there is ample ergonomic space for writing, sewing, working, and artwork. It comes with a full bath (antique clawfoot tub with a handheld showerhead), a mini refrigerator/freezer, coffee maker, an electric tea kettle, and a microwave oven. The cottage is nearby the main house, but when you are inside or on your private porch, you feel like you are alone in a very secluded space - which you are. The cottage has been used as an artist studio, so there is room for creating. The porch is the perfect place to read or sip your morning beverage, and it is tranquil with the sound of the waterfall, adding a calming presence. We welcome you to explore the property, swim in the waterfall, and pick a peach or two! While we love dogs and have a friendly Great Dane at the Old Red Mill, regrettably, we cannot welcome guests to bring their pets. You will have the entire cottage to yourself and can come and go as you please. During Covid we tend to let guests find their way to the cottage following the instructions sent to them. We used to greet guests when they arrived and show them around. We may still greet you as we love meeting our guests, but if we don’t come out, please find your way to the cottage. Please wear a mask. You are welcome to come and go as you please. Please let us know if you need help with anything. We are rural and you will need a car to access most places although Sheldrick Forest and the Heald Trail are within walking distance. The Hilltop Cafe is a must visit for breakfast. We are a 5 minute drive to the Waldorf Schools and Andy's Summer Playhouse. Peterborough is about 12 minutes to our west and Milford about 12 minutes to our east. Wilton Town Hall Theatre in downtown Wilton boasts first run movies, a friendly atmosphere and fresh popcorn with real butter. Covid Vaccinations required
