    Cozy home dating back to 1797. It was fun to sit and talk in a New England home with that much history.If you stargaze and get a clear night, you'll see fantastic skies. We brought a telescope and it was well worth it.We went sledding out back and had a blast!Many beds and bedrooms.Internet, wifi, smart TV if you need your technology fix.Would stay there agan.

    Historic home in a beautiful setting. Very comfortable and warm even during some very cold days. Visitors should note that there is only one bathroom so best suited for families.

    My family & I loved this historic property. The house had plenty of space and bedrooms as well as a huge yard with an awesome swing for the kids, the trail in the woods was a huge bonus, cornhole boards, kayaks, life vest, water hose. You name it, they had it. The kitchen had everything one would need. The shower had attachment shampoo, conditioner & body wash which was a big help for those who prefer not to pack there own. I will absolutely chose this home again for any future visits to NH. 10 stars

    I rented this for 3 weeks. Michael was a great contact and is very quick to respond when you have a question. We didn’t spend a lot of the days in the house and we were exhausted when we got there each night, but it was a fun place to hang out in the evenings. Thanks for a great stay.

    This was a fantastic place. The farmhouse was a beautiful place to stay with our family. I’d love to stay there again in the summer and explore some of the local trails and ponds. Overall we had a wonderful stay and would recommend.

    We walked the property, looked at the maple syrup taps, old foundation and went sledding. Our daughter is renting on Crystal lake and she came to sled too. House was beautiful. We poked our heads into the basement and garage barn! What a history lesson.

    The Story Homestead was a wonderful place to stay for our family's autumn getaway to NH. We loved exploring the surrounding countryside, which was ablaze with fall colors. The kitchen was well-equipped for preparing family meals, and the spacious bedrooms ensured everyone had a comfortable stay. A truly memorable experience - highly recommended!

    It’s a great property and we had a blast (two families with toddlers). The staircase is very steep but there’s plenty of room downstairs and outside to roam and play. The beds were comfortable and ACs in every room. Great place for a relaxing rural vacation.

    The Story house had plenty of historical charm and we appreciated that the owner shared the history of the house's original owners. We had to cut our stay short because of a work obligation and the owner was gracious about the change, offering a refund for the time we weren't using the space.
