This beautiful house is the ultimate city escape located just 90 minutes from Boston! The unique and spacious design opens up to the outside, letting you enjoy the great outdoors through a wall of windows from a cozy sunken living room.
In the summer, lounge by the pool or enjoy one of two pristine lakes 10 minutes away. In winter, only 15 minutes to Pat’s Peak and 20 minutes to Crotched Ski Resort.
Please review the waiver language below, which we will require you to sign after booking.
The space
You’ll have the entire home to yourselves, and we’ll be just down the hill in our cabin if you need anything. We love to show our guests around the farm, and you are always welcome to our vegetable and flower gardens.
Zulip Farms is currently growing shiitake mushrooms, raspberries, blueberries, kiwiberries, hazelnuts, as well as the most delicious honey around. Find us at the local farmers markets… or come pick fresh!
Cycling or running enthusiasts will never want to leave. Our area is a hidden gem for hilly dirt roads, and we love sharing our favorite routes with guests.
In-House entertainment and amenities:
Abijah Manor features a fully stocked kitchen, Wifi, countless volumes of books, jig-saw puzzles, and lots of board games. In the warm months, you may lounge on the deck and swim in the pool. Explore the property's eleven acres, and meander on the adjoining trails. You can even get some work (hopefully not too much!) done in the office, located in a quiet corner of the house.
Guest access
The entire house is yours! Please keep in mind that one wing of the house—the part with the ping-pong table and gym--is unheated and will be chilly, but still usable, in the winter.
