Nestlenook Farm Resort

eep in the New Hampshire White Mountains, near the historic Jackson Covered Bridge and along a tree-lined country road, you'll find a place you have searched for all your life, Nestlenook Farm Resort. The Estate consists of sixty-five acres of groomed and natural beauty, presided over by a 200 year-old Victorian Gingerbread Inn and set atop a knoll, luxurious Victorian Village overlooks the estate.

Nestlenook Farm on the River, our Victorian Bed & Breakfast, is one of the oldest residences in Jackson Village built circa 1790. The Inn's seven guest rooms at the Inn are named in honor of a famous local artist and their rare works compliment your decor. With unyielding attention to detail, each room is exquisitely decorated and each has its own private bathroom with a two person jacuzzi. Some rooms have hand-carved four poster canopy beds, authentic 18th century parlor stoves, fireplaces, balconies and hardwood floors. From the moment of your arrival at the Inn, you'll experience an immediate sense of relaxation coupled with nostalgic elegance and luxury of a by-gone era.

Guests staying at the Inn can relax by the fire in our historic Dinsmore Room featuring an original hand built stone fireplace, hand-hewn beams and hardwood floor. Each morning you will enjoy a three-course full country breakfast in our elegant Dining Room featuring a Count Rumford Fireplace, original tin ceiling, hand carved woodwork and antique birdcage. Make yourself at home in our Guest Kitchen where you can indulge in a delicious snack of fresh baked cookies and muffins, and help yourself to a selection of herbal teas, juices, and sodas. Mingle with other guests in the Parlor, featuring an 18th century parlor stove, original tin ceiling and exquisite antique furnishings, while enjoying our nightly Hospitality Hour. Explore our Recreational Room for a game of pool on an antique billiards table, throw tournament darts or watch one of our CD laser disk movies on the big screen TV with six-speaker surround sound. Relax with a cup of tea on our screened in veranda, settling in to comfortable furniture allowing the serene natural beauty engulf you. You will certainly be pampered by our attentive staff, assisting you with restaurant reservations, directions, and other requests. Nestlenook Farm on the River is primarily a couples only getaway, but we do welcome children over 12 years of age. To ensure all our guests enjoy the fresh mountain air, our inn is a totally smoke-free environment, with daily maid service provided and a "goodies" basket replenished as well.
