Ellen and Peter Alcott bought the farmhouse in 2004 after twenty years in Boston restaurants. Ellen cooks, Peter handles the grounds and the wood, and between them they have hosted guests every season since. There is no front desk and no staff, just the two of them.
“Ellen made a separate gluten free breakfast both mornings without making it a production. The blueberry pancakes were the best part of the trip.”
Renee B., October stay
“Peter had the woodstove going when we came in from cross country skiing, and hot cider on the counter.”
Alan D., February weekend
“Six rooms means you actually meet the other guests at breakfast. We are still in touch with the couple from Maine.”
Corinne S., Anniversary stay
Two nights on weekends year round and during foliage season, and three nights over Columbus Day weekend. Midweek single nights are usually available outside October.
Children ten and older are welcome in the Carriage suite, which has its own entrance. The main house rooms share thin farmhouse walls, so we keep those adults only.
Breakfast is served at one seating from 8am to 9:30am. If you need to leave earlier for a hike or a drive, tell us the night before and we will set out coffee, fruit and something baked.
Ten minutes by car, about four miles. There is no bus, so you will want a vehicle. Parking on the property is free and right outside the door.
Ellen or Peter will pick up between 8am and 8pm. We are happy to talk through which room suits your trip.
