The Farm at Worthley Pond, Private Beach & Wedding Barn

The Farm at Worthley Pond is an ideal location for family vacations, family reunions and weddings. The Farm at Worthley Pond is a remodeled 1850 farm, located on 5 acres, nestled in a beautiful mountain valley surrounded by rolling hills. The jewel of the location is Worthley Pond.

Fishing on the Pond is very good with many trout and bass taken annually. The Farm At Worthley Pond has a private sand & grass beach access to Worthley Pond with approximately 150 feet of frontage. Only 40 miles from the Appalachian Trail and the large peaks of the White Mountains, these foot hills offer both beauty and day hiking.

It is perfect for vacations, wedding receptions and family reunions. It is also an ideal setting for small group meetings such as staff retreats, faculty curriculum planning and sales group planning.

Perfect family vacation
Spent a week here for a family vacation that included 8 adults, 5 children & 3 dogs. The house was large enough to accommodate everyone- very comfortably . Pool table & hot tub were a huge hit with the adults. Massive backyard that was perfect for soccer, 3 legged race & wheelbarrow race. Best part was the beach area- private beach, nice dock & float. Grandkids had a wonderful time swimming & jumping off the dock & float. Rented kayaks , which allowed us to access the beautiful pond. Paul was very receptive to questions, which was a bonus, My grandson had such a great time that he wants to come back next year !

Great Week with the Family
The farmhouse was big enough for 8 adults and 6 children. The beach area and shallow water was great for the smaller Grandkids. The stove was a little tough to get use to. Only one burner at a time got hot enough. But we all managed. The spaces to sleep were big enough so each family had their own space.

Perfect place for our family reunion
This home had plenty of sleeping space for our large, multi-generational family. We are all cooks, so the up-graded and well-stocked kitchen was a delight.

Great place with great views
Great getaway spot for a quick vacation weekend near a lake. The house is comfy, a bit small in the bedrooms, but otherwise nice. Some things are modern in the house, while other things are a bit out of date. For instance, the wifi couldn't handle us streaming the bruins game. Not an issue, but just an inconvenience. There are also a ton of spiders around. A few of us got a bit of bites. Something to look out for.

A great spot
We stayed at the Farm at Worthley Pond over New Years. 4 families, 7 kids. We had a wonderful time. Looking at the stars at night from the hot tub, ice fishing, and a wonderful find, Black Mountain Ski Resort (non profit, no lines, nice people, BAR...) where all our kids learned to ski. The house is older, but very cozy. everyone slept very well. The owner Paul was very quick to answer questions and the manager Tim was there right away to plow. I am hoping to go back over the summer or maybe next year winter. K
