Wild Sugar Homestead was designed and built by nationally acclaimed contractor Ray Clark. 50 years later, it has a new life as a wedding venue & retreat space with a permaculture ethic. With breathtaking views of the White Mountains, direct access to Tucker Mountain Town Forest, two ponds, and onsite nordic ski trails, Wild Sugar brings family and friends together to enjoy this hidden gem of the Upper Valley. Easy drive to major slopes & Lake Morey. Gravel bikes mecca!

The space
*** All available weekends (Thursday-Monday
) in September and October of 2026 are reserved by Wild Sugar Homestead through our wedding venue until otherwise noted. If you instant book us, we will have to ask you to cancel your reservation.

Wild sugar homestead operates as a wedding venue, event space, and short term rental. If you’re looking for a short term rental, you are in the right place and should continue reading!

Wild Sugar Homestead includes a 3,200 sqft main house, a party barn with attached milk house, and ~70 acres of land to explore. A 5 minute walk to the upper field reveals an epic view of the White Mountains from Mt. Washington to Mt. Moosilauke. The front yard includes an old variety apple orchard, plum orchard, and a pond. The field on the other side of the road has a hidden woodland pond brimming with life. There are tons of opportunities to see wildlife on the property, including moose, deer, bears, turkeys, and many other critters. The 12 acre wetland section of the property is a bird watcher's paradise!

The house itself has character in every corner. The original owner, builder, and designer Ray Clark has an eye for detail and a penchant for building in the old style. The result is a house that looks and feels about 100 years older than it is. There is an undeniable charm to the hand hewn beams, carved floor boards, ornate brick work, and built in furnishings.

Most of all, what we hear from our clients and visitors is - "This place is MAGIC."

Guest access
You will have unlimited access to the main house and the grounds. You can request access to the party barn and milk house.

We will likely greet you upon arrival. After that, we will leave you to it. If you need us, we are right down the road!

If you're interested in learning more about what we do here, just let us know. We are passionate about our work here and are always happy to engage with folks about it.

You might see Erik around the homestead working on the gardens and landscape, but he will be sure to give you and your family / friends space to enjoy the property. Feel free to say hi if you do see him out there.

Also, if you love dogs, let us know. We have 4 very sweet ones and 1 lovable sceptic.
