Neighborhood highlights

Our neighborhood is made up of mostly friends! They are good people and you can feel safe to take walks. There is a gravel country road with little traffic across the road from our driveway if you prefer that. Our little village of New Ipswich, is about 2 miles away. There is great pizza, coffee, a gas station, small grocery store, Dollar General, but not too much else! Just peace and quiet! With a car there is so much to be seen and explored. We have a book in your room that will explain in detail more of these things. As I noted in the space section, you are close to lots of outdoor activities and sight seeing. You will get more information in the booklet that will be in your room, or by asking your host!
