Just a fabulous farmhouse with modern amenities. Our host David was wonderful. We had the house for a month and hope to stay again next winter. The first floor is awash in sunlight, sitting on an elevation looking down over blueberry bushes and farm fields. The interior spaces are beautifully decorated with lovely art and textures. Heated bathroom floors- yay! Bedding is terrific.

What’s not to say about this property…except it was a little slice of heaven for us. Our family came to town for a wedding and it was the perfect place to relax, see the area, and get ready. The home was amazing, updated, clean, historic, and welcoming. Just a joy to be at. Perfect hosts and communication, as well! And the market to walk to was just as enjoyable.

About the host

Hosted by David Hills

Host profile image
We are fortunate to be the 10th generation on this family farm first settled in 1660, and we hope you will find it a special place. We want to acknowledge that Abenaki, Penacook, and Wabanaki peoples have lived on this land and the place we call New Hampshire for more than 12,000 years. We invite you to join us as we commit ourselves to honoring exploring the full history of the land and its people.
Catherine and David live on this farm, and happily share our joy of the land and the seacoast with guests who visit. We are also huge fans of the seacoast and all that has to offer in terms of great food, the arts, nature, and so much more. Let us see how we can help you to make your trip as memorable as possible.

Why they chose this property

This property is unique in that it is one of the last remaining farms on the seacoast of New Hampshire. In fact the farm situated on a tidal river. Guests who stay at the farm are able to walk to a farmstand located on the property and find an amazing place to be able to get a cappuccino in the morning, a breakfast sandwich, ice cream, a fresh apple cider doughnut, beer/wine, gift items and more! There is outdoor seating and even an animal petting barn! This is all in your backyard when you stay at the farm!

What makes this property unique

This home is on a 130 acre farm which is 10 minutes from Portsmouth,15 minutes from the beaches, and 4 minutes to Durham. It's also one hour from Boston and Portland Maine. This location is unique because it is close to Portsmouth without the busyness of Portsmouth. It gives people the opportunity to experience living on a farm and to have a farm café and all that it offers right on the property.
