Kettlehouse Carriage barn at The Carriage Barn Equestrain Center, Newton, NH

Kettle House Vacation Home

The Kettle House was originally constructed in 1891 as a carriage barn on the Lorenzo N. Kettle Family Estate in Weston, Massachusetts, to store Kettle's carriage, his steeds, and as a quarters for those who worked the estate. Kettle was a wool merchant in Boston and maintained his estate as a gentleman's farm until after World War II. The barn remained on the Weston site until 1999 when it was dismantled and stored. The building was moved to the Carriage Barn facility for restoration in the summer of 2000. (See story below)

Now completed, the Kettle House Carriage Barn is available for weekend getaways, workshops, office parties and special events, including weddings and anniversaries. We will provide catered functions and private rooms. Please join our staff for a learning weekend, clinic, or escape from the work-a-day world. Overlook the 100 meter outdoor arena or drive our wooded carriage trails. Step back in time to a quiet, gentle moment.

A unique Bed & Breakfast where you can bring your horse. Tucked among the rolling hills and scenic country roads of southern New Hampshire the Kettle House is on the edge of The Carriage Barn Equestrian Center, which is located approximately 40 miles north of Boston, off Route I-95 and I-495.
