B&B Friday (8/13/10)!


Happy Friday the 13th, everyone (...eek!)

I just returned from my trip to New Hampshire yesterday,
and let me just say, my mother and I fell so deeply in 
love with the Monadnock region that we're seriously 
planning on relocating there some time next summer!
Can you believe it? Me, finally living in New England....
Lifelong dream coming true!

I have many, many photos and experiences to share, 
but you'll all just have to wait till Monday for me to get 
myself together... Don't fret, you won't be disappointed! :)

In the meantime, here are three
beautiful B&B's I think you'll enjoy . . .

3.
(Waterford, ME)

"A 19th century farmhouse on a country lane midst 25 acres of fields and woods, distinctively different, a true country inn offering uniquely decorated guest rooms, a charming blend of two centuries - the warmth of early furnishings combined with contemporary comforts. Outside--rolling terrain, a farm pond, an old red barn and a bird- watcher’s paradise. Inside--an air of quiet simple elegance, antiques and art, barnboard and brass, pewter and primitives. Country chic cuisine to pamper your palate. A place to relax, to re-create one’s spirit"

  1. I think Marblehead is a little too close to where I live to require an overnight stay but the other two look lovely.

    Looking forward to your photos but I might not catch up til after my trip to the Vineyard next week.

  8. I went to Marblehead last week for the first time. A very charming town indeed and we walked right by the inn you mention. I was dying to do more than peek in the windows, but alas I didn't have the funds necessary to stay there. great ice cream shop in town and beautiful old homes and shops. Marblehead Neck is right on the water and has a beautiful park. Hope you get to go there sometime soon.

  11. Very nice! I recently met the innkeepers of the Inn at Ormsby Hill in Manchester. The inn has a very interesting history and the setting is gorgeous!

    Hope you are doing well and enjoying your summer, Erin!
