You arrive down a quiet country road, fields opening up around you as the farmhouse comes into view. The pace changes almost immediately. This is a working farm, and life here moves gently—mini cows grazing in the pasture, horses shifting in the distance, and fresh air that feels noticeably calmer.

Step inside the loft and you’re wrapped in warmth. Hardwood floors, soft lighting, and cozy seating create a space that feels both charming and thoughtfully updated. Mornings begin slowly, often with coffee in hand as you look out over the fields, greeting the animals as they wander past your window. There’s no rush here—just time and space to enjoy it.

The loft is designed for comfort in every season. After a day exploring nearby lakes or hiking the mountain trails, you return to heated bathroom floors and a rainfall shower that feels indulgent and grounding. Evenings are best spent by the fireplace—propane glowing in the living area or the soft electric warmth in the bedroom—settling in with a book or letting the quiet take over.

Days unfold naturally. Some guests wander the property trails with views of the Belknap Mountains, others head out for a short drive to Alton Bay, Crystal Lake, or Gunstock Mountain. When you return, the farm welcomes you back with stillness and open space, inviting you to slow down once again.

As night falls, the loft becomes especially peaceful. Firelight flickers, the farm settles, and sleep comes easily in plush linens beneath blackout curtains. Tomorrow promises more of the same—unhurried mornings, fresh air, and the simple pleasure of being somewhere that feels truly different.

This loft isn’t just a place to stay—it’s an experience rooted in comfort, countryside charm, and connection to the land. Quiet, cozy, and deeply restorative.

    The loft not only was beautifully redone, it was also so peaceful with such a serene vibe. Even though it was 9 degrees the first night (with -6 wind chill) but it was still cozy with both fireplaces going. The thermostats on both were very helpful. The windows on both side let in so much natural light! The bathroom was gorgeous!I could go on and on…..

    Nice rustic barn loft. Good location. Pet friendly. On a working farm. Took my dog on a nice walk on a gravel trail though the property's woods each morning. Great place to stay.

    The farm provided an idyllic backdrop for our anniversary. The loft is cozy and inviting with views of the Highland Cattle grazing. We didn't want to leave!

    The farm was very quaint, the perfect getaway for our anniversary. The host was friendly and respectful and responsive. The unit was as exactly as advertised and I cant wait to plan another visit.

    We had a wonderful stay at Varney Hill Farm. The Loft apartment had everything we needed for our long-weekend stay visiting the Lakes Region. The apartment was clean and well kept. It was a nice balance of rustic, cozy charm for an 1800s farmhouse with the right touch of modern amenities. We got to explore the property a little bit, getting to see the horses, cows, and pigs. Even explored some of the trails, which the farm is adjacent to town and state conservation land. Hosts Patti and Matt are great people and easy to reach in case of anything. Our dog ended up taking a tumble down the steps leading up to the loft and Patti was right there offering anything she could, even finding material to act as a temporary gate which was much appreciated. Pup's okay btw, just a swollen lip and a bruised ego. She thoroughly enjoyed her farm visit, too. Will definitely look to stay here the next time we're up in the area.
