Many highlight David's responsive, welcoming communication and thoughtful touches throughout. Easy breakfasts and treats are a highlight, and some note handy extras like heated bathroom floors and an EV charger. Isolated comments mention the driveway being hard to spot, high-tech equipment needing instructions, or difficulty reaching the manager. Expect a serene, comfortable farmhouse base for exploring the Seacoast.

The house is a beautiful updated old farmhouse next to an amazing local farm with a market where you could eat three meals a day. It’s a quick 15 minutes to Portsmouth and even though at the house you feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere, there’s everything g you need within a quick walk or drive.

Everything was great right down to the farm store being so close. We enjoyed getting coffee and donuts every morning before we headed out for the day.

This is definitely a 5 star lodging. Impeccably remodeled old farmhouse with 3 lovely baths, laundry, kitchen anyone would envy, and comfortable mattresses. Tricky to find the driveway on the first pass, but, once we found it it was easy. Plenty of seating in the living room and handy mudroom for shoes. Watched the Turkeys stroll across the yard first morning and had breakfast at the Emery Farm just across the back yard and past the orchard. Loved the EV charger as one of the rentals in our group was a Tesla. We would definitely rent from David again.

My husband and I, both in our 80s, have mobility issues, and renting a place where all of the bedrooms were upstairs seemed impractical. But we were so glad we listened to our hearts and chose this place. The entire property is beautiful and well-tended. The air is fresh and clean; the water tastes great right out of the tap. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch watching honey bees gathering pollen from the rhododendrons growing by the front porch. This family has maximized the assets of their farm and created a heathful, environmentally sustainable operation. Solar panels dot the property, and there is a EV charging station at the house. The cafe on the property serves delicious breakfast sandwiches and sells products made in the area. The host sent us detailed information about the property well in advance of our stay. He called us the day of our arrival to welcome us and ask if we needed anything. We knew he would help us any way he could. Our party consisted of my husband and I and our two adult daughters. All of us loved being in the farmhouse. And the stairs? There’s a good solid handrail, which all of us held onto, and we took the stairs one at a time. I’m so glad we did not let our fears from experiencing this farm. We had a wonderful stay.

We were three couples staying for the weekend, and thoroughly enjoyed the stay. The property sits on a large farm that is fascinating to explore. The Market, within walking distance on the property, is a great place for coffee, and breakfast fare. The host is very gracious, and makes you feel very much at home. We hope to return again.

Lovely restored antique farmhouse with super chill vibe, just a short walk up past the blueberry bushes from the Market & Cafe at Emery Farm that you can look over and beyond to Wagon Hill Farm across the road. Spacious and fully equipped kitchen with a fantastic island for prep, cooking or just sitting and having a cup of coffee, plus a full dining room and comfortable living room. Upstairs the beds were cozy. The master bathroom had an amazing soaking tub, plus a walk-in shower. Three full baths total made it easy for all 6 of us to get ready for a wedding in South Portsmouth

Our entire family loved this vacation. Staying in the Brown House at Emery Farm was an absolute joy! The house is immaculate and the property is stunningly beautiful. We enjoyed our daily walks to Emery Market to gather groceries, enjoy ice cream or coffee and sample apple cider donuts. We loved picking blueberries! There is nothing better than picking and eating fresh-from-the-vine berries - a real treat for our blueberry loving grandson! Quality family time was spent at Emery Farm. Our stay here was a wonderful summer treat!

This destination was quite a treat. The house was beautiful and well kept. The location couldn’t have been any better from the Whittemore center at UNH. There are gas stations and grocery stores nearby along with some cool fishing spots. David was a great responsive host. I would book this place again! (I probably will)

The Brown house was a warm, welcoming, clean VRBO with beautiful and eclectic decor. It is nestled above Emery farm, which was fun to visit for a hot cup of latte or to pick up a yummy treat. The radiant heat in the upstairs bathrooms was luxurious. The free-standing tub provided a nice respite from our busy days. David, the owner was very responsive to any questions or needs that arose. We cooked meals, played family games and took walks across the street at Wagon hill farm. It was the perfect venue for our family and we would absolutely consider this option again!

Perfect location to visit our two kiddos who attend UNH. The house is an easy 5 minute drive to campus, and super close to Newmarket, Dover and Portsmouth. Plenty of activities and amazing food nearby. The farmhouse is in a beautiful and peaceful setting and the interior is thoughtfully and meticulously decorated. As an artist I especially loved the eclectic collection of art and handmade pottery. The kitchen had every amenity and although we didn’t cook during this trip would have had everything we needed. Three full baths is a lovely perk. Every one was spotless and heated floors in NH in February was a super nice touch. The beds were all really comfy and bedding and towels were soft and high quality. You can tell the owners put a lot of thought and love into the property and the cleaning crew keeps this place impeccably clean. The owner David is super responsive and helpful and answered all of our questions very quickly. We can’t wait to stay here again during the warmer months to take advantage of the nearby outdoor activities. Thanks so much for a wonderful stay!

We were a family of 6 (3 generations) staying the weekend for a wedding nearby. House was very comfortable and clean and was only a short 10 minute drive to the wedding venue. The market down the hill at the farm was a great spot for breakfast and coffee in the morning. House was well equipped - particularly the kitchen. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The Brown House is absolutely fantastic. Recently remodeled and very well equipped. Very cool location…short walk to the farm stand in the AM for tea and cider doughnuts. House has tons of character and is very comfortable…heated slate floors in the bathrooms was a treat. Good beds, bathrooms, and setup…we had 4 adults, but would be very comfortable for 6+. Looking forward to coming back in summer.

David is an amazing host and we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The property is beautiful, well maintained, and the farm store is an added benefit.

David is an amazing host and we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The property is beautiful, well maintained, and the farm store is an added benefit.

My husband and I, both in our 80s, have mobility issues, and renting a place where all of the bedrooms were upstairs seemed impractical. But we were so glad we listened to our hearts and chose this place. The entire property is beautiful and well-tended. The air is fresh and clean; the water tastes great right out of the tap. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch watching honey bees gathering pollen from the rhododendrons growing by the front porch. This family has maximized the assets of their farm and created a heathful, environmentally sustainable operation. Solar panels dot the property, and there is a EV charging station at the house. The cafe on the property serves delicious breakfast sandwiches and sells products made in the area. The host sent us detailed information about the property well in advance of our stay. He called us the day of our arrival to welcome us and ask if we needed anything. We knew he would help us any way he could. Our party consisted of my husband and I and our two adult daughters. All of us loved being in the farmhouse. And the stairs? There’s a good solid handrail, which all of us held onto, and we took the stairs one at a time. I’m so glad we did not let our fears from experiencing this farm. We had a wonderful stay.

The house is a beautiful updated old farmhouse next to an amazing local farm with a market where you could eat three meals a day. It’s a quick 15 minutes to Portsmouth and even though at the house you feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere, there’s everything g you need within a quick walk or drive.

This destination was quite a treat. The house was beautiful and well kept. The location couldn’t have been any better from the Whittemore center at UNH. There are gas stations and grocery stores nearby along with some cool fishing spots. David was a great responsive host. I would book this place again! (I probably will)

Perfect location to visit our two kiddos who attend UNH. The house is an easy 5 minute drive to campus, and super close to Newmarket, Dover and Portsmouth. Plenty of activities and amazing food nearby. The farmhouse is in a beautiful and peaceful setting and the interior is thoughtfully and meticulously decorated. As an artist I especially loved the eclectic collection of art and handmade pottery. The kitchen had every amenity and although we didn’t cook during this trip would have had everything we needed. Three full baths is a lovely perk. Every one was spotless and heated floors in NH in February was a super nice touch. The beds were all really comfy and bedding and towels were soft and high quality. You can tell the owners put a lot of thought and love into the property and the cleaning crew keeps this place impeccably clean. The owner David is super responsive and helpful and answered all of our questions very quickly. We can’t wait to stay here again during the warmer months to take advantage of the nearby outdoor activities. Thanks so much for a wonderful stay!

My husband and I with our grown children had a wedding in a nearby town in Maine. This was a beautiful cozy house to spend time together without the disconnection of hotel rooms. We walked to the lovely store down the hill for coffee and breakfast sandwiches and spent time in nearby Portsmouth. I would absolutely stay here again

Our entire family loved this vacation. Staying in the Brown House at Emery Farm was an absolute joy! The house is immaculate and the property is stunningly beautiful. We enjoyed our daily walks to Emery Market to gather groceries, enjoy ice cream or coffee and sample apple cider donuts. We loved picking blueberries! There is nothing better than picking and eating fresh-from-the-vine berries - a real treat for our blueberry loving grandson! Quality family time was spent at Emery Farm. Our stay here was a wonderful summer treat!

The Brown House is absolutely fantastic. Recently remodeled and very well equipped. Very cool location…short walk to the farm stand in the AM for tea and cider doughnuts. House has tons of character and is very comfortable…heated slate floors in the bathrooms was a treat. Good beds, bathrooms, and setup…we had 4 adults, but would be very comfortable for 6+. Looking forward to coming back in summer.

We had a wonderful time at the farm! The owner had great communication with me and check in was a breeze. The property was beautiful and walking down to the farm stand was a unique experience that resulted in delicious coffee and pastries. The house was well decorated and had updated appliances, making our stay feel homey and luxurious. We would all rebook in a heartbeat!

The Brown house was a warm, welcoming, clean VRBO with beautiful and eclectic decor. It is nestled above Emery farm, which was fun to visit for a hot cup of latte or to pick up a yummy treat. The radiant heat in the upstairs bathrooms was luxurious. The free-standing tub provided a nice respite from our busy days. David, the owner was very responsive to any questions or needs that arose. We cooked meals, played family games and took walks across the street at Wagon hill farm. It was the perfect venue for our family and we would absolutely consider this option again!

We were a family of 6 (3 generations) staying the weekend for a wedding nearby. House was very comfortable and clean and was only a short 10 minute drive to the wedding venue. The market down the hill at the farm was a great spot for breakfast and coffee in the morning. House was well equipped - particularly the kitchen. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We were three couples staying for the weekend, and thoroughly enjoyed the stay. The property sits on a large farm that is fascinating to explore. The Market, within walking distance on the property, is a great place for coffee, and breakfast fare. The host is very gracious, and makes you feel very much at home. We hope to return again.

Just a fabulous farmhouse with modern amenities. Our host David was wonderful. We had the house for a month and hope to stay again next winter. The first floor is awash in sunlight, sitting on an elevation looking down over blueberry bushes and farm fields. The interior spaces are beautifully decorated with lovely art and textures. Heated bathroom floors- yay! Bedding is terrific.

What’s not to say about this property…except it was a little slice of heaven for us. Our family came to town for a wedding and it was the perfect place to relax, see the area, and get ready. The home was amazing, updated, clean, historic, and welcoming. Just a joy to be at. Perfect hosts and communication, as well! And the market to walk to was just as enjoyable.
