Pinestead Farm Lodge is nestled among the White Mountains of New Hampshire. The Sherburn family has been offering simple, clean rooms for guests seeking country pleasures since 1899.
Situated on almost 200 acres of land, Pinestead Farm Lodge
provides a quiet, tranquil environment, surrounded by fields,
mountains and forest land, with Cannon Mountain and
North Kinsman in our backyard.

Pinestead
Farm Lodge is a convenient location to use
as a base for hiking and skiing, as well as sightseeing, and
visiting many of the attractions in the White Mountains. We
are less than 10 minutes away from Franconia Notch and Cannon
Mountain. Bretton Woods and Loon Mountain are within a half
hours drive. |

The old Pinestead farmhouse is continuously being renovated to
accommodate our guests. Currently we have three 3 bedroom “efficiency units” and one 2 bedroom “suite”. Each unit has 2 or 3 bedrooms with a fully equipped kitchen and one bathroom. The bedrooms may be rented individually, or you may rent an
entire unit as a private holiday apartment. |
|
Being eco-friendly is a way of life here at Pinestead Farm Lodge. To begin with, all of our heat
and hot water come from our wood boiler. We harvest the trees from our own land. By selectively
cutting out dead, sickly trees we can allow the hardwoods to grow and prosper, therefore preserving
our woodlot and our maple sugar orchard for generations to come. To conserve energy we use compact
fluorescent lights wherever possible. By not washing your linens and towels daily we can conserve
water. All of our rooms are non-smoking and have windows that can be opened up to the outside fresh air. |
We're hoping that everyone will help us out with our “green” lifestyle so we provide bins for recycling and composting. We can then use the compost for our gardens where we raise, and sell, naturally grown fresh vegetables (when the season permits) using only organic pesticides and non-chemical fertilizers. We also raise free range chickens and sell their eggs. Since all of our units have fully equipped kitchens you can cook farm fresh eggs and prepare salads and vegetables daily from that day’s harvest. |

Sugar House during Boiling Season
|
|
One
of the Sherburn family traditions is to make maple syrup in
the spring time. Joe Sherburn used wooden spouts to tap the
trees, metal buckets to collect the sap and oxen to transport
it. Today, Bob Sherburn has about 1000 taps that he pipes
directly into his sugar house. Come visit in the spring and
try a FREE taste sample. |
|
Over the years,
there have been dairy and beef cattle, sheep, pigs and chickens
raised on the farm. Now, chickens, cats and dogs are the regulars;
but moose, deer, wild turkey, geese and hawks visit us in
our fields every year. |
 |
Our
frequent visitor is back this year, with antlers. |

Kathleen
Sherburn makes quilts for all of the
beds at Pinestead Farm Lodge as the Sherburn women had
in the past. People seemed to like her calico patchwork
so she started Pinestead
Quilts in 1980. Her shop is in Lincoln,
NH where she sells quilts, placemats, potholders, coasters,
tablerunners, pillows, pillow quilts, wallhangings and
baby quilts, as well as the fabrics, books, patterns,
batting and supplies to make your own. Pinestead Farm
Lodge guests enjoy a 10% DISCOUNT at
the shop.
