Circa 1780. Step back in time and experience authentic New England in this 18th-century farmhouse retreat with year-round horseback riding. The inn offers public stables on 70 scenic acres of forest and pastureland along the Saco River. Surrounded by panoramic mountain views, it was a 1771 land grant from King George III of England. The estate has been passed down in one family for seven generations. Enjoy a blend of old-fashioned character and luxury amenities. Each room is decorated in a classic style and some have a two-person Jacuzzi and/or fireplace. Two-room family suites and a four-bedroom cottage are also available. A fireside, or patio breakfast is included overlooking the perennial gardens, horses and White Mountains. Explore this family estate by horseback, or a romantic Victorian sleigh ride for two. Take a carriage ride to experience a kaleidoscope of crimson colors with mature maple sugar forests along the Saco River. There are wagon and pony rides too. Off the beaten path, it is two miles from North Conway Village center.

Historic Interest

A land grant from King George III, dating back to 1771- with one family on the land for 7 generations. Lots of stories to be told! It is a 18th Century colonial farmhouse. The barns- one is an English barn (rare) and one is a Yankee barn 1771-71. It is interesting to compare the structures. Granite stone fence posts made of pink granite. Old cemetery with family members back to the revolutionary war.
