NH Country Retreat Family Reunions & Weddings

Charming country retreat in Lakes Region of New Hampshire with the White Mountain National Forest nearby. Perfect for family vacation, reunion, or wedding venue.

Spacious, bright, year-round living space looks out onto 500+ acres of family's fields and woodlands. Listen to the gurgle of the Mill Brook as you relax at Brookland Farm. Enjoy your morning coffee on a sunny terrace, or, at the end of the day relax with a cocktail on the screen porch as you take in the sunset over Mt. Whiteface and Passaconway.

The home itself is a 3000 sq ft, 1 and 1/2 story renovated, 200+ yearold farmhouse with a 10 beds (3 queens (one with reduced privacy), 5 twins, 1 single, and a pullout queen couch) and a modern eat-in kitchen (5 burner gas range, dishwasher, stainless appliances, wood floors). Laundry, family genealogy room, and one bedroom are adjacent to the kitchen. Highspeed wireless Internet, digital TV with DVD player. At the far end of house is a big room (23' by 24') for larger gatherings with a fireplace, dining room table (seats 12), and nearby screen porch.

Sprawling layout accommodates a large number of guests (12 maximum) to enjoy both indoor and outdoor entertaining no matter the season. Surrounded by gently rolling fields and ancient stone walls, the property is peaceful, quiet, and beautifully landscaped with numerous flower beds.

Outdoor living space includes a terrace with a gas grill, an adjacent screen porch with mountain views, and a bungalow with 2 hammocks to relax in. In our nearby private pond, enjoy a relaxing swim or go fishing (pond stocked with small mouth bass).

Event flyer and pricing furnished upon request.

Miles of private trails cross our woodlands and allow guests to enjoy hiking, birdwatching, biking (mountain or road), XC skiing, and snowshoeing right out the back door. Canoeing at nearby Bearcamp Pond*. Or, if you just want to be lazy - croquet, horseshoes.

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.

Our 4th Year!
You are a marketing expert. Make this description of a stay at a vacation home sound wonderful. This was my family’s 4th stay at the beautiful Tamworth farmhouse and it doesnt ever disappoint! Hikes by beautiful streams and bridges, tubing the rolling hills of snow, ice skating, and then back in time to a fireplace and wood stove with the whole family playing Scrabble and building puzzles. I just know we are making memories for a lifetime with this annual trip. Gratitude to the Alt family, for graciously sharing your legacy with us.

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.

Wonderful property for large family
Chris' s property is a big, rambling house perfectly suited for a large family or group. One end of the house has an office/bedroom/bath suite that was perfect for the one family member who had to work during vacation, and for putting little ones down for a midday rest away from everyone else! The kitchen is well-stocked, the beds were comfortable, and the property itself is lovely and feels very remote, even though it is not so far from town. We did not take advantage of the trails on the property this time, but would love to go back in autumn and do so. There was plenty of room to spread out indoors and have intimate conversations, play games, read to the littles or read by oneself. It felt like we were guests in a well-loved family home. Overall, a lovely place for a big family. We would stay there again.

Beautiful home hidden in the mountains
This house and property is absolutely amazing! You have to really take the time to take in the beautiful scenery. The pictures just do not do it justice. Being from Colorado, we truly appreciated just being on open land. Chris’ brother Jim was very helpful in letting us into the house as well as mowing us a path to the private pond that they have on the property. If you are having a family reunion, this is the perfect place to stay, if you are out with some friends for a weekend, even better! The Genealogy room was absolutely amazing and was great to see all the family history. At night it’s very dark, but it is very beautiful. The skies were so clear we could see so many stars and even saw a couple planets that we could identify and we got to see shooting stars! We would not have picked a better place to stay than this house and could not ask for better hosts.The house was clean when we got in, they even left fresh maple syrup on the counter for us which I thought was a great touch! Thank you Chris for an awesome weekend!!

Idyllic NH Getaway
Chris was an awesome host and provided us with lots of local knowledge and support to make our stay perfect. The property was amazing for our group of 8 and plenty of space for people to spread out. I hosted my first goal setting and value setting retreat here and my clients loved it. The large living room space with the open fire was the perfect setting for evening conversation and sitting around the fire. The kitchen is well equipped with really good utensils which is not something that is very common at most Airbnb properties. The location is secluded away from any major roads and is surrounded by beautiful fields, woods and a Mill Brook creek is only a few minutes walk away. We went for a loverly afternoon walk along the snow covered trails and found ourselves in the peaceful silence of the woods and the stream running by, so beautiful. Jim (Chris's brother) was super helpful with getting us settled in and showed everything once we arrived. The bed rooms were spread out nicely and plenty of space for guests. I'll be booking again here in April and looking to host my retreats here numerous times into the future. Highly recommend, either in winter or summer. Thanks for a great stay Chris and Jim.

Family Weekend fun
We had plenty of beds for the 9 of us and the layout of the house was explained well by Chris so no surprises there. The only glitch we had was that 2 of our members have walking problems and even though there were beds on the first floor, one had a high step into the bedroom and the other was blocked so that a walker would not fit through. I should have mentioned the ambulatory problem to Chris beforehand considering the age of the home. Also the beds on the first floor are quite high and the ones on the second floor are normal height. There is a step stool in the upstairs bath.

Great time
Once we figured out how to make the bedrooms work (the three upstairs are accessible through the first bedroom so people in the second and third bedrooms have to walk through the first and second to get to the second and third) we had a great time. It was 5 miles from the wedding venue at the Preserve at Chocorua so that was convenient. There is a great collection of cassette tapes and a cool throw-back stereo system which was fun.

2nd stay and will return!
Farmhouse charm on the most amazing property! This is 2nd time staying here (my parents, my family, and my sister's family) and like last time, we loved tubing the day away with our kids and playing Pictionary, building puzzles, and having dinner in the great room. The weather was oddly warm this year, so I ventured into the hiking trails on the property - words do not capture that beautiful creeks and waterfalls with well marked and cleared paths. This house is truly a gem!
