About this property
NH Country Retreat Family Reunions & Weddings
Charming country retreat in Lakes Region of New Hampshire with the White Mountain National Forest nearby. Perfect for family vacation, reunion, or wedding venue.
Spacious, bright, year-round living space looks out onto 500+ acres of family's fields and woodlands. Listen to the gurgle of the Mill Brook as you relax at Brookland Farm. Enjoy your morning coffee on a sunny terrace, or, at the end of the day relax with a cocktail on the screen porch as you take in the sunset over Mt. Whiteface and Passaconway.
The home itself is a 3000 sq ft, 1 and 1/2 story renovated, 200+ yearold farmhouse with a 10 beds (3 queens (one with reduced privacy), 5 twins, 1 single, and a pullout queen couch) and a modern eat-in kitchen (5 burner gas range, dishwasher, stainless appliances, wood floors).

At the far end of house is a big room (23' by 24') for larger gatherings with a fireplace, dining room table (seats 12), and nearby screen porch.
Sprawling layout accommodates a large number of guests (12 maximum) to enjoy both indoor and outdoor entertaining no matter the season. Surrounded by gently rolling fields and ancient stone walls, the property is peaceful, quiet, and beautifully landscaped with numerous flower beds.
Outdoor living space includes a terrace with a gas grill, an adjacent screen porch with mountain views, and a bungalow with 2 hammocks to relax in. In our nearby private pond, enjoy a relaxing swim or go fishing (pond stocked with small mouth bass).
Event flyer and pricing furnished upon request.
Miles of private trails cross our woodlands and allow guests to enjoy hiking, birdwatching, biking (mountain or road), XC skiing, and snowshoeing right out the back door. Canoeing at nearby Bearcamp Pond*. Or, if you just want to be lazy - croquet, horseshoes.

A great location to gather and stay with family. We enjoyed the hiking trails around the property and the easy access to White Face Hollow down the street.
This house worked out really well for an adult family group attending a wedding at nearby Whiteface Hollow. We actually spent very little time in the house on this beautiful fall weekend. The house was clean, the beds were comfortable, and the bathrooms had plenty of clean towels. As a bonus the surrounding property was beautiful; rolling fields, the foliage, and a little pond.
My whole family had an awesome time at Chris’ place. The property is gorgeous and the house has a ton of character and plenty of room for our group. Would absolutely stay again.
We stayed at this property for a wedding that was at Whiteface Hollow. It was very conveniently located to the property! Chris was great to work with during the weekend of the stay!
This home was even more beautiful than the pictures suggested. We loved every moment of our stay. The trails from the property were stunning, and we hope to come back in the future :)
The property and surrounding area is just gorgeous. The house is an older home with a bit of charm and was comfortable. We (6 adults and 2 teenagers) were in town for a wedding at Whiteface Hollow and this was the perfect location. It’s less than 5 minutes to drive there. All in all it was very nice.
You are a marketing expert. Make this description of a stay at a vacation home sound wonderful. This was my family’s 4th stay at the beautiful Tamworth farmhouse and it doesnt ever disappoint! Hikes by beautiful streams and bridges, tubing the rolling hills of snow, ice skating, and then back in time to a fireplace and wood stove with the whole family playing Scrabble and building puzzles. I just know we are making memories for a lifetime with this annual trip. Gratitude to the Alt family, for graciously sharing your legacy with us.
We were in town for a family wedding - the location was perfect, the property was beautiful and the house was amazing. The host was very helpful coordinating a few last minute details on our end. Highly recommend staying here.
Lovely experience. Our mini family reunion included 4 generations ranging in age from 10 months to 95 years. Chris Alt is an excellent host and we really enjoyed our stay.
We had a lovely time at Chris's home in New Hampshire. My friends and I had a great time exploring the land and area, playing games in the living room and relaxing in the screened porch area. Thanks for extending your home to us!
The house exudes a love of family and gathering together. It’s setting is absolutely beautiful and incredibly peaceful.

Country comfort in a gorgeous setting
We had a gorgeous weekend at Brookland Farm, enjoying the beautiful view of fall foliage from the kitchen table, walks on nearby woodland paths, and big crackling fires in the comfortable living room. This is the ideal place to enjoy the New England countryside with friends and family!
Want to feel like you are in The Shire from the Lord of the Rings? …then this spot is for you.
Quiet, clean and plenty of room in and around the house. You can feel the history of the property the minute you walk in.
It was a perfect location to get away and enjoy the beautiful landscapes of a small New Hampshire town.

Gorgeous Private Setting near Tamworth
This home was perfect for our family reunion with plenty of rooms/beds for multiple families nestled in a beautiful area just outside of Tamworth village. The kitchen is large and well suited to prepare a family meal with views of the mountains outside the large window. The house has a lovely sitting area that leads outdoors to a screen porch perfect for eating al fresco. The grounds are beautiful with a small pond and walking trails nearby. We highly recommend and plan on coming back to stay in the future.
From the beginning, the host, Chris, was responsive and helpful answering any questions. We were a multi- generational group gathering from 3 states for a family wedding in the area. This property was perfect and was a quintessential NH experience. The vistas of fields and mountains were stunning and several from our group hiked on around the property. It was beautiful. And the stars at night without any light “ noise” were glorious. The house was perfect for us- enough beds, well- appointed bathrooms with plenty of towels. Its real charm, though, was in knowing it was a true family home where history and family legacy were celebrated and honored. It was a privilege to stay there.

We loved our stay ... a perfect place for our group of very close friends.
The country house was just right for our weekend gathering. The screened-in porch was lovely for late afternoon lunches and a few of our crew found the "hidden" hammocks for afternoon naps. The surrounding landscape a sweet respite from the world made even better with a walk into the touching town of Tamworth. An added bonus was a kitchen stocked with everything one needs to cook and serve a feast. Thanks to our host for this special NH Retreat. It was indeed that.

beautiful fall foliage weekend
My wife, family and I spent a weekend at Chris Alt's beautiful family farm house. We were attending a wedding in Tamworth and needed a place for 8 people. This property was perfect, we could of had 15 people and it would of been comfortable. Chris was a great host and made it real easy to obtain the key and even let us in early. I would definitely recommend this property for your next trip to the white mountains.

Excellent Historic Property
We rented the Alt property because we were hiking in the area. What beautiful place to stay. The historic property was beautifully kept and great to explore. Instructions for the house use were very clear and well communicated. We had everything we needed to cook many meals as the house is completely stocked. We were a large group but everyone had enough space. Hopefully our adventures take us back there to rent this home again.
Thank you Chris and your family.
Once we figured out how to make the bedrooms work (the three upstairs are accessible through the first bedroom so people in the second and third bedrooms have to walk through the first and second to get to the second and third) we had a great time. It was 5 miles from the wedding venue at the Preserve at Chocorua so that was convenient. There is a great collection of cassette tapes and a cool throw-back stereo system which was fun.
Chris' s property is a big, rambling house perfectly suited for a large family or group. One end of the house has an office/bedroom/bath suite that was perfect for the one family member who had to work during vacation, and for putting little ones down for a midday rest away from everyone else! The kitchen is well-stocked, the beds were comfortable, and the property itself is lovely and feels very remote, even though it is not so far from town. We did not take advantage of the trails on the property this time, but would love to go back in autumn and do so. There was plenty of room to spread out indoors and have intimate conversations, play games, read to the littles or read by oneself. It felt like we were guests in a well-loved family home. Overall, a lovely place for a big family. We would stay there again.
