This house worked out really well for an adult family group attending a wedding at nearby Whiteface Hollow. We actually spent very little time in the house on this beautiful fall weekend. The house was clean, the beds were comfortable, and the bathrooms had plenty of clean towels. As a bonus the surrounding property was beautiful; rolling fields, the foliage, and a little pond.

We had a lovely time at Chris's home in New Hampshire. My friends and I had a great time exploring the land and area, playing games in the living room and relaxing in the screened porch area. Thanks for extending your home to us!

Country comfort in a gorgeous setting

We had a gorgeous weekend at Brookland Farm, enjoying the beautiful view of fall foliage from the kitchen table, walks on nearby woodland paths, and big crackling fires in the comfortable living room. This is the ideal place to enjoy the New England countryside with friends and family!

Wedding stay

The property and surrounding area is just gorgeous. The house is an older home with a bit of charm and was comfortable. We (6 adults and 2 teenagers) were in town for a wedding at Whiteface Hollow and this was the perfect location. It’s less than 5 minutes to drive there. All in all it was very nice.

Weekend Getaway

Want to feel like you are in The Shire from the Lord of the Rings? …then this spot is for you. Quiet, clean and plenty of room in and around the house. You can feel the history of the property the minute you walk in. It was a perfect location to get away and enjoy the beautiful landscapes of a small New Hampshire town.

Joe - glad to hear that you had such a great time staying at the house. Never heard the place referenced to The Shire in the Lord of the Rings, but I'll let my friends know. Come back again to Tamworth some time soon.

Check in was a little rocky as the key code info wasn’t sent to us. We had the check info email sent just the key code to get in was missing. The host was quick to respond and got it resolved! This farm home is very historical. Built in 1800 it had a lot of the original features which was awesome. Home is very unique which has a very interesting layout and made you wonder what room was used for what. You can tell by all the family photos on the walls that this is a generational home. Property and the views were amazing! Careful when you go on a hike the Ticks are real!!!!! The host had all the supplies you could think of available which we greatly appreciated. Overall a good trip for us. Only thing I would change is the place was dusty in a lot of areas and some of the bedding had stains, be careful opening the windows…even with a screen those little “No’seams” still get in, with the home being so historical I was personally little scared at night and I know this more of a me problem because I am afraid of all things that go bump in the night. Now to be clear we didn’t hear a thing it was just the thought of it happening. Haha! I would rent this property again as it was large and so very interesting!

Gorgeous Private Setting near Tamworth

This home was perfect for our family reunion with plenty of rooms/beds for multiple families nestled in a beautiful area just outside of Tamworth village. The kitchen is large and well suited to prepare a family meal with views of the mountains outside the large window. The house has a lovely sitting area that leads outdoors to a screen porch perfect for eating al fresco. The grounds are beautiful with a small pond and walking trails nearby. We highly recommend and plan on coming back to stay in the future.

We loved our stay ... a perfect place for our group of very close friends.

The country house was just right for our weekend gathering. The screened-in porch was lovely for late afternoon lunches and a few of our crew found the "hidden" hammocks for afternoon naps. The surrounding landscape a sweet respite from the world made even better with a walk into the touching town of Tamworth. An added bonus was a kitchen stocked with everything one needs to cook and serve a feast. Thanks to our host for this special NH Retreat. It was indeed that.

beautiful fall foliage weekend

My wife, family and I spent a weekend at Chris Alt's beautiful family farm house. We were attending a wedding in Tamworth and needed a place for 8 people. This property was perfect, we could of had 15 people and it would of been comfortable. Chris was a great host and made it real easy to obtain the key and even let us in early. I would definitely recommend this property for your next trip to the white mountains.

Excellent Historic Property

We rented the Alt property because we were hiking in the area. What beautiful place to stay. The historic property was beautifully kept and great to explore. Instructions for the house use were very clear and well communicated. We had everything we needed to cook many meals as the house is completely stocked. We were a large group but everyone had enough space. Hopefully our adventures take us back there to rent this home again. Thank you Chris and your family.
