Relaxing

This property is amazing to relax and unwind. We stayed for a week & worked at the home. We were pleasantly surprised with the WiFi speed. We also loved the convenience of being close to Keene for good food & a little town. The house was cute & rustic but in a perfect way with wood floors & wood burning stove. The views are incredible from every window!

Wonderful family retreat !

Our family totally enjoyed this spacious home . We had hoped for snow for sledding on the hillsides, but the nice walking paths made up for it . Owners were great to work with and we appreciated the “ family” home that they shared with us ! We’d love to come back !!

Beautiful and relaxing visit

We had a wonderful time at the house. The views of Mt Monadnock are incredible from almost all the bedrooms and from the dining room and living room. We loved seeing the history of the house and family in the pictures and decorations on the walls and cooking in the extremely well supplied kitchen! The house was very clean and was spacious for our family of 2 adults and 3 children, and our dogs loved running along the fields. We hope to come back, thank you!

The perfect getaway.

I actually considered putting less stars for accuracy of listing because I didn’t think it did a good enough of a job explaining how great this rural getaway is. Perfect spot to get away with more than enough room for several couples. Gorgeous views of Monadnock from most rooms cap off this homey cabin style retreat. Thanks!

Beautiful home on a gorgeous setting.

There was plenty of room to accomodate all of out family members. The setting is also private. My husband and I enjoyed strolling the grounds and our eight year-old grandson enjoyed playing many of the games in the house. Check-in was easy. I would recommend this property to anyone.

Great sledding hill!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Jaffrey! The house was clean and well stocked, and Emily was easily available by email and answered all of our questions. The wood stove was cozy and easy to use, and we brought our little plastic sleds and had a great time! The driveway was nicely plowed when we arrived! The only little issue was that the outside lights didn’t seem to be working and it was a little dark taking out the dog. We probably should have let Emily know sooner. Thanks so much for sharing your family home with us!

Loved it!!

Hello Emily, Thank you so much. I am an “over packer” so when I got here and started looking around all I could say is “ok I love these people!! There is nothing that you haven’t supplied here… and wow! Such a cool house!! Love the doors that lead you to the next cool room. Our son brought over a few friends to get them away from their dorms to change the energy so that they all could complete their final papers and last-minute studies before their finals and graduation. It was a great break for them, and they all felt like they were able to step back in time as well. They walked through the house seeing all the old character as well as so many amenities. We can just feel the history and love that is here. They ate pizza studied at the dining room table met their deadlines enjoyed a corn hole game outside got some puppy therapy and allowed themselves to destress before heading back to campus (Franklin Pierce university). This was such a treat for us to be a part of their last crunch time together as seniors. That was a gift to us even though it was a few hours having them I made it so worth our decision to rent here a few days before the graduation. So, thank you for sharing this house with all that rent here. So amazing!! We would love to take you up on your offer to stay a little later than 11am on Sunday. With all the rushing around for graduation it would be nice to just take a little pressure off on Sunday (Mother’s Day) to enjoy a cup of tea and just soak in the beautiful view. Thank you! Kim & Dom

Beautiful property in a magnificent location with a wonderful view of Mt. Monadnock. There is a nearly one mile hiking loop entirely on the property suitable for walking with our dog. Also an expansive field in the back of the house where we viewed wild turkey, deer and the occasional coyote. Smaller lawn in the back where we could stake out our dog and enjoy the unseasonably warm weather. The house itself is private without another home in view but close to grocery stores in Rindge and Peterborough. The home was clean and well stocked with cooking utensils, a gourmet gas stove as well as a gas grill which we used more than the stove. Just a great house and we hope to return.

Third year here and another wonderful stay. We are always seeing improvements and this year the trails were freshly revitalized around the property, some new chairs to replace old, and little thoughtful things added like a jigsaw puzzle board (very popular with our group). We will be returning next year if the host will have us!

Rustic Mountain View privacy

This home was a perfect place for our family to relax and enjoy rural NH in a comfortable space. The home was just as the listing described and communication with the host was very good. The kitchen and home were well stocked with anything we could wish for. Even with terrible weather, we played games, listened to music, read about the history of Jaffrey, watched the wild turkeys, and wondered at the deep family history of the house. The field, mountain view and surrounding forests are gorgeous.

Beautiful Getaway

We really enjoyed our stay at the property. It is a home, not just a rental space, and the love and care that the owners put into it is very apparent. It’s extremely well stocked with any possible cooking appliance, dish or gadget, as well as spices and many other essential. And the stove! My god, I’m in love! It was such a treat to use it, especially since I’ve been cursed with an electric stovefor the last 5 yrs. We would definitely recommend a stay at this beautiful, comfortable and well provided home.

It had been two years since we stayed at this property, and we enjoyed this visit as much or more than the last!

About the host

Hosted by Emily Isaacs

Host profile image
I have grown up vacationing at this property my whole life. Built in 1935 by my great-aunt, in 1975 my mother and father inherited it and greatly expanded it. It has been passed to me and my husband and three sons, and is a place we have spent many weekends and vacations. We live and work a few hours away, and have busy teenage children so it's a good time to rent it out part-time.
I am a professor and my husband is a software engineer. My father who is responsible for most of the amazing details that make this house useful and beautiful was an engineer by training.

Why they chose this property

Jaffrey, NH is a jewel of a community: quiet and uncrowded, but with great sightseeing, hiking, swimming and water activities all around. The clean air, hilly trails with unexpected vistas, wild berries (and animals too) all have made this property a restorative place for me.
When I need more civilization, the restaurants in town are good, and both Keene and Peterborough, among other communities, are charming villages for shopping, antiquing, and excellent dining. There are many opportunities to explore other interests -- golf, horseback riding, farm tours, fruit picking, glass blowing, hiking (for an easier hike than Monadnock, try Gap Mountain), ice cream (Kimballs is great), theater (check out Peterborough Players), and on and on.

What makes this property unique

The 17-acre property is nestled within several properties, 60 acres of which are owned as second properties by my brother and cousin; surrounding these are even more woods, allowing for extraordinary privacy. Wildlife abound -- in the little brook as well as the woods, with opportunities to see deer, wild turkey and pheasants, woodpeckers, red foxes, rabbits, soaring hawks, and other large birds.
