This authentic farm stay B&B is not a movie set-expect to roll up your sleeves, get your hands and boots dirty, and participate in farm chores. Also expect to have a ton of fun as everyone in the family gets up-close to chicken, sheep, and cows and feels like a welcome member of an extended farm family. The property is located at the base of the beloved Mount Monadnock, an isolated drumlin in Southern New Hampshire that is one of the most popular mountains for climbing in the world. The mountain serves as a lovely backdrop for activities including gathering eggs, milking cows, and feeding the animals.

For those that don’t feel like working, there are also plenty of activities to kick back and relax, including swimming in the pool, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing, or just sitting on the porch with a breeze and a good book. A robust kids program includes activities such as arts and crafts, games, and campfire songs. The 65 units scattered around the farm offer a range of accommodations, from basic rooms in the main house to rustic cabins to newly renovated deluxe cabins. Expect lots of handmade quilts and simple, homey furnishings. Rates are a bargain when you consider that they include three hearty, home-cooked meals a day-many, of course, using farm-fresh ingredients.
