The Kettle House Vacation Home

available for rent year round

In the English tradition of vacation accommodations in a private home, The Kettle House welcomes a limited number of guests to our late 1800’s renovated carriage barn. Walk into the carriage barn of a wealthy Boston merchant. The antique sleighs and carriages whisper stories of horses and families --- the way we were.

There are four beautifully appointed, rustic bedrooms rooms which reflect a unique Americana atmosphere.

They share a modern bath and a common sitting area upstairs. On the first floor there is a fully furnished kitchen and eating area ovrlooking the paddocks.

Common areas

Return with us to those wondrous days of tea and popovers. On the walls of Mr. Kettles’ barn hang equine artwork from various American artists. The vibrant colors remind us of those fun-loving Victorians and -- the way they were.

The Carriage Barn Equestrian Center offers a unique getaway with New England charm where both you and your horse can enjoy the countryside or perhaps participate in our equine facilitated therapy.

If you don’t have your own horse, but would like to learn how to ride, we offer private lessons. You may also learn to drive our Haflingers put to new and antique carriages.
