Indulge in Luxury
We’re delighted to invite you to retreat with us for four days and three nights (June 15-18, 2026) at Cranberry Meadow Farm, a beautiful inn in Peterborough, nestled in the beautiful Monadnock Mountains of southern New Hampshire.
Private accommodations in this luxury, boutique property, close to MacDowell, the arts colony where Thornton Wilder wrote Our Town. Cranberry Meadow Farm spans 80 acres and features a koi pond, a beautiful lagoon-style swimming pool, hiking trails, a chicken coop, and a vegetable garden.
We’ll hold writing workshops in the mornings, write, hike, swim, and relax in the afternoons, indulge in farm-to-table dinners, and hold open mics at night. Carolyn, the innkeeper, is a fabulous chef who worked at Chez Panisse and will prepare our meals.
Activities
-
CHICKEN COOP
Take a walk with one of the innkeepers out to the chicken coop before breakfast to gather eggs for the day at our Southern New Hampshire bed and breakfast.
-
SWIMMING POOL
The outdoor heated swimming pool and lounge area is open seasonally from 7am to 10pm. There is no lifeguard on duty.

KOI AND TROUT POND
Feed the Koi or trout. Ask us for a bag of fish food and head out back to the pond. Have a seat on the metal bench, take in the natural beauty that surrounds you on our expansive, 80-acre property, and enjoy the show as you toss the fish some food.
