The Reuben Dimond house is located in Concord, New Hampshire; a central location with easy access to a major state highway. Day trippers will find this location convenient to jump onto the highway and head north or south, or to simply wander the back roads and enjoy the sights of New England.
Named after its original owner, this recently renovated farmhouse, circa 1767, sits at the end of a dead-end road surrounded by farm and conservation land. It provides privacy for a quiet rural get-a-way while located only minutes from Concord's Main Street and the State Capital. It provides the feel of the country while being only a few minutes from a busy and vibrant New England city. Downtown Concord offers excellent dinning, theater, cinema, shopping and more.

Step out the front door to find just one of the city's-maintained trails for hiking, cross country skiing, snow shoeing, or just communing with nature. Concord has over 85 miles of dedicated hiking and biking trail available to residents and visitors alike.

The groomed 1.4-acre farmhouse lot provides excellent space for all your outdoor recreational activities, such as, wiffleball, badminton, volleyball, croquet, horseshoes, etc. While sitting next to the fire pit, you may encounter deer, turkeys, and other native animals and birds.

Just up the road, at the top of the hill, is a working farm (Rossview Farm). If you catch them in season, you can pick your own strawberries, blueberries, or pumpkins. During late February and early March, you can sample maple syrup hot from the evaporator. In December it's cut your own Christmas tree time.

The kitchen is well equipped for enjoying your morning coffee or tea and cooking and baking on inside days. The historic summer kitchen now includes a reading nook and laundry closet. During the winter months a fire may be built in the wood stove to allow for a comfortable and relaxing read or to simply dry out your damp clothes from the outdoors activities.

The house was built prior to the revolutionary war. Its exterior walls are of plank construction (i.e., 3-inch-thick pine planks 15 to 24 inches wide and 8 foot tall. This was possible when sawmills became available and log cabins were no longer the only possibility.

A couple of unique items must also be noted. The staircase leading to the second floor is described as a fan staircase because it is narrow at the bottom and fans out to be very wide at the top. It is doubtful you have seen a like staircase.
The other notable item is the small 8-inch by 8-inch window located at the top corner of the southwest wall of the main house. It is reported this window was an Indian look out. When there was notice of a raiding party traveling down the Merrimack River, the family would hide in the crawl space and watch until the danger was over. The window also provided light into the crawl space. Remember, there was no electricity in 1767.

What we love about this property is the quiet. Most nights you can sit outside and hear nothing but the wind through the trees and the crackling of the fire in the fire pit.

    This was one of the nicest, best stocked homes we’ve ever stayed at. It was decorated to match the vintage of the home. Everything was cozy and comfortable. I wish we’d had more time to enjoy the property. Lynn gave us a good tour of the home and satisfied our interest in his remodeling efforts. If we ever need to stay in Concord again, this would be our first choice!

The house is old with a rich history and Lynn did a wonderful job preserving that history. The house had everything we needed. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to stay in the Concord area!

    We were a bit further out of town than we expected but that didn't detract from our amazing stay. The host has thought of everything even down to a fresh bouquet of flowers on the kitchen table. The beds are very comfortable, the bathroom and kitchen have all the amenities you could want and we relaxed each evening in the living room watching TV and planning our next day. We booked this house because of the history and it did not disappoint. It's a gem!

    We booked a short trip at fairly short notice for 2 nights and wished we stayed for longer. This historic farmhouse had been beautifully and respectfully renovated keeping many original features but giving it a modern and comfortable twist. Lynn met us at the property giving us a tour and explaining a bit about the history. The property was very clean and the kitchen was a pleasure to use with every item I could need. The grounds were amazing and we enjoyed a trail straight from the house. I would absolutely recommend this property and would love to return!

    We had dreamed of a fall New England trip for years and our stay at the Rueben Diamond house made it even more incredible! It’s one of our favorite places we’ve ever stayed. We were living in a piece of history yet with all the conveniences of home (brand new appliances and every kitchen item you could want) and the luxury of great linens and bedding, with the charm of an old home, and a gorgeous, quiet pastoral setting. Lynn was a generous host and answered our many questions about the home graciously. Check out the book of photos of what it took to restore this home. What a gift it was to stay here! We imagined people at the kitchen table talking about the Revolutionary War (Mr.Diamond fought in it), then the Civil War, up through present day. I especially loved the back door entry, with its rustic feel, and the “summer kitchen”. The home was immaculate and the outdoor setting idyllic. Thank you, Lynn!! We’re back in California now and missing our New England farmhouse!

    Well-maintained, modern appliances, quiet spot in the forest (next to a nicely paved lane). Met Lyn shortly upon arrival; he was a most gracious host who quickly gave a rundown of the space. Other than the outdoor mosquitoes (to be expected in the summer) and a memorable firefly in the bedroom, we enjoyed our time at the Reuben Dimond House.

    What a peaceful summertime 3 week stay! It was our second visit to this sweetly restored farm house, the first having been in winter splendor. This time we especially enjoyed the well maintained acreage, wildflowers, visits from local wildlife including deer, turkeys, and a pudgy porcupine, as well as the large outdoor fire ring. We look forward to our upcoming autumn visit.

    The stay was fantastic. The home and property was really cool! There were a few wasps in the home, I feel obligated to say in case any others have allergies. I was able to take care of any within the home and Lynn was very quick to respond, come out to inspect, and sprayed the exterior to prevent any further issues.The home is quite removed from the locale, which was perfect for us. That said, it is within 15-30 minutes of downtown concord and Manchester.

    Beautiful house and location. Our only complaints would be that the house itself was fairly loud (creaky floors and no insulation between rooms so can hear when someone is up early or late) and sheer white curtains (making everyone have to get up with the sun), BUT all that said, wonderful old house. Very clean, well maintained, and stocked with everything you'd need. Would definitely recommend!

    We thoroughly enjoyed our recent stay at this beautifully restored 257 year old farmhouse. The location was peaceful and private — truly an unexpected gem within minutes of the center of New Hampshire’s capital city. During our stay we experienced two snowstorms and we were grateful for our host’s balance of respecting our privacy while also ensuring us safe access in and out of the snowy property. We can’t wait to return in June and again in September!

    Wonderful stay in this beautiful historic property. Lynn greeted us at check in and gave us the full run down of the property and set the tone for a great long weekend away. Reliable wifi and a TV with all the apps if you're looking to stay connected and plenty of opportunities to disconnect with trails starting right out the front door, a fire pit, and books and games to take advantage of. Close to so many activities in the area but far enough away to enjoy total solitude as well.
