About this space Our 1840’s renovated grist mill is located in the beautiful Monadnock Region. The house and cottage are situated on twelve acres and includes gardens, an orchard, berry bushes, grape vines, beehives, a dog, and a tremendous waterfall. We are close to many of nature’s gems including Mount Monadnock, Pack Monadnock, the Heald Tract hiking trails, skiing, snowshoeing and swimming. Also the acclaimed MacDowell Arts Center, Andy’s Summer Playhouse, Andres Institute of Art and the Waldorf Schools. The space The cottage is a very peaceful space with a private entrance and a porch to view the waterfall and the magnificent trees and gardens. With built-in desks, well-lit workspaces, and excellent Wifi, there is ample ergonomic space for writing, sewing, working, and artwork.
It comes with a full bath (antique clawfoot tub with a handheld showerhead), a mini refrigerator/freezer, coffee maker, an electric tea kettle, and a microwave oven. The cottage is nearby the main house, but when you are inside or on your private porch, you feel like you are alone in a very secluded space - which you are. The cottage has been used as an artist studio, so there is room for creating. The porch is the perfect place to read or sip your morning beverage, and it is tranquil with the sound of the waterfall, adding a calming presence.
We welcome you to explore the property, swim in the waterfall, and pick a peach or two!
While we love dogs and have a friendly Great Dane at the Old Mill, regrettably, we cannot welcome guests to bring their pets. Guest access You will have the entire cottage to yourself and can come and go as you please.

Cottage Beside a Waterfall is a peaceful, artistic and creative space. The atmosphere is that of love of family, care for Nature and passion for Art and creativity. I was guided to the cottage even when it was late, cold and dark.
Very clean. Host was very nice. Very peaceful and quiet. Truly enjoyed waking up to the waterfall in the morning. The bed was super comfortable and the tub was amazing.
Perfectly nestled by the waterfall with several varied seating areas by the river to enjoy the sound of falls and the surrounding woods. Private back deck overlooking the river was just the place to sit and enjoy our morning coffee and end-of-day beverage. Cottage was very comfortable and just right for our brief weekend getaway. Hosts were very responsive to the few questions we had. Absolutely would book again.
This a wonderful oasis with a separate cottage with porch overlooking gardens, woods, and a rocky waterfall. It doesn't get much better than this. The hosts were friendly and helpful (recommending a great breakfast spot.)The bed was more comfortable than mine at home.
The location was amazing. The cottage was cute, cozy, well appointed. The bed was super comfortable. Falling asleep to the waterfall sounds was similar to sleeping to ocean waves. Next time we visit NH we will certainly try to stay here again.
We had a lovely visit in Wilton and were granted the special privilege of seeing and hearing the waterfall and associated pools fill up with water overnight due to heavy thunder showers after a long dry spell. Magical, indeed.Cottage is a special little place! We hope to be back at another time of year.
