Mini Cows, Trails & Cozy Porch

Set on a real working farm in the hills of Gilmanton, this rustic modern farmhouse apartment offers a peaceful retreat where the pace of life feels slower and more intentional. From the moment you arrive, the setting invites you to breathe a little deeper—fields stretch out around you, the Belknap Mountains rise in the distance, and mini cows graze quietly just beyond your porch.

Mornings begin gently here. Coffee tastes better when enjoyed outside, watching the farm wake up. Horses shift in the pasture, birds move through the trees, and the day unfolds without urgency. Inside, the apartment blends farmhouse character with modern comfort. Plush leather seating, a warm wood stove, and soft natural light make the space feel cozy and welcoming in every season.

The kitchen is fully equipped for everyday cooking, whether you’re preparing a simple breakfast or settling in for a relaxed dinner after a day of exploring. If you’re working remotely, a dedicated workspace and Wi-Fi make it easy to stay connected while still feeling tucked away from it all.

Afternoons invite choice. Wander the on-site trails with views of the Belknaps, relax on the covered porch, or head out for a short drive to Lake Winnipesaukee, Gunstock Mountain, or live music at the nearby pavilion. Back at the farm, evenings are quiet and grounding—often spent by the wood stove, watching a movie, or stepping outside as the sky softens over the fields.

For guests looking to make their stay extra special, optional farm experiences like yoga sessions, horseback riding, and mini cow interactions can be arranged in advance. These thoughtful extras add to the feeling that this is more than a place to stay—it’s a chance to connect with the land.

With a private entrance, no shared walls, and the authentic sounds of country life surrounding you, this farmhouse apartment is ideal for guests seeking comfort, character, and a genuine countryside escape—close to lakes and adventure, yet rooted in calm.
