Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- With a history dating back to 1731, this special property embodies the quintessential New England farm, with crisp, whitewashed buildings and acres of lush pastures.
- Wed overlooking the picturesque paddocks and rolling meadows of Sunset Fields, followed by a reception in the lovingly restored Great Barn, where stunning Parisian chandeliers illuminates the rich patina of vintage wood beams and siding.
- There are wonderful dressing suites for your wedding party, and a charming “Old Back House” perfect for welcoming guests to the celebration. Best yet, your rental helps support the preservation of the farm, and of the heritage livestock animals who call it home.
