I can’t say enough about how amazing my stay was with Mary at her exquisite, historic home! If you’re ever in this area, stay here! And do yourself a favor, plan ahead and book in advance bc she fills up quick, especially in leaf-peeping season! And for all you history fanatics - get the Madison room that Thomas Edison spent time in! There’s also an original stove he gave to the family - it’s in incredible condition too! I initially tried to stay here back in March with my reservation all secure, and then Covid hit and all was lost! But thankfully, Mary is a most gracious and kind host and had no issues with me having to cancel! She’s flexible, reasonable, accommodating - but most of all, she’s absolutely delightful to be around! She loves her home and loves to share it with people and it shows! I stayed in the glorious Madison Room primarily because Thomas Edison stayed there before! So that in and of itself was a huge draw for me - but the room was magnificent! It holds a comfy, massive four poster bed that once belonged to the Kennedy estate and requires a small 2-step stool to get into haha! It’s also a turreted room so you have a semicircular view of the vibrant fall foliage all around! Not to mention the whimsical artwork and decadent Victorian furnishings! I loved everything about it!

And then there’s Mary’s flawless cooking! I mean, wow! Quiche, salad, potatoes one morning and eggs in puff pastry with asparagus and hollandaise sauce the next - all expertly plated and delicious to boot! Her dining room is surrounded by windows to showcase the gorgeous grounds (especially in full fall glory)! There’s also a common fridge, microwave, Keurig and kettle for any coffee/tea/culinary needs you may have.

Oh and did I forget to mention the spacious, cozy front porch covered in rocking chairs with perfect views? I couldn’t tear myself away from it! Can’t wait to come back and stay again! This will be my go-to spot in northern New Hampshire without a doubt! More
