New England Bed & Breakfast Bolton, Massachusetts

The Phineas Wright House was built in 1785; she is quirky, cool, charming and full of character, and perfectly imperfect. She has been through a lot and stands tall to this day. I have found my story in hers and you are invited to add to this narrative as well. There have been many iterations over the centuries; now a historic bed & breakfast on a small New England flower farm. You are welcomed, anticipated, and celebrated here.

A farm stay allows you to enjoy time in nature, see the flowers dance in the garden, and discover the charm of a historic landmark, all while enjoying culinary delights and a garden-inspired craft cocktail. 

Just imagine it... you’re sitting in the cozy library with a great book and a steaming cup of tea (or champagne & cookies). That’s it! Imagine that!

Fully in your bliss. to read, nap, explore, get your hands dirty in the garden; or whatever delights you.

Come alone to rest and restore. Or bring a friend for an unhurried time of reconnection.

  • Gourmet breakfast* each morning.

about the PHINEAS WRIGHT HOUSE

The Phineas Wright House was built in 1785 for the third minister of First Parish Church, Bolton. Also the home of Rev. Isaac Allen and Rev. Robert Edes before another parsonage was built for incoming clergy. In the last 240 years, only three other families have lived in this great antique house and I plan to be here for a very long time.


THE LIBRARY…

The library invites you to linger. Settle in with a book or an after-dinner drink. It is the room I "lose time" in.


THE GREAT ROOM…

The Great Room was formally two rooms with a center hallway. The original fireplaces, one with a beehive oven and stock pot swing arm. The former kitchen and dining rooms now boast a baby grand piano and two sitting areas.  Enjoy leisurely afternoons in conversation with a cocktail from the self-serve honor bar.


The guest rooms…

A stay at the Phineas Wright House is a pattern-interrupt. Time stands still as you unplug from the busyness of your day-to-day and rediscover the escape of a great book or even write your own. Enjoy the beauty of the property, take a hike on local trails, visit the winery in town, or help me with my chores. Your time here is a blank canvas that we can create together. Come alone, bring your partner or a couple of friends. Paint, create, write, take a cooking class, or have me curate a full itinerary for your stay.

The possibilities are endless.

  • Everything was absolutely stunning and 100% me!

    “Please let me express a sincere and heartfelt thank you for the most amazing shower ever. I want to thank each of you for "knocking my socks off" to make my special day absolutely perfect! Truly this shower was something out of a Pinterest picture. Everything from the flowers to the mimosa bar, to the favors- everything was absolutely stunning and 100% me! I honestly was so overwhelmed with how perfect the day was. I started crying because it was just honestly magical to have everyone there in such a special place and have the room filled with love. There are not many times in our lives when all the women you love the most in the world come together to celebrate you. Sunday was perfect. Thank you again for putting love, creativity, and fun into everything you did. I will hold that day close in my heart forever and cherish it always...thank you. “

    With Love and Gratitude, Xoxo Erin V.

  • A magical week in France

    Isn’t it amazing that YOU were responsible for transporting, teaching, guiding, and encouraging all of us strangers to uncover new aspects of ourselves? Touring, eating, drinking (I've got a great story that still makes me giggle) you made it all happen & I will forever be grateful for saying yes to myself.

    xx, Teri C.

  • My Farm Stay was absolutely spectacular!

    I felt a sense of peace the moment I pulled into the driveway and gazed upon the beautiful barn and historic home. Wendy creates a bespoke experience for her guests and I was very comfortable in the b&b. Her attention to the smallest details made me feel so welcome and the homemade breakfasts were some of the best I’ve ever had! My weekend at the PWH was a luxurious opportunity to rest and restore. I truly felt celebrated and will return soon.

    xo, Meg T.

are you ready for a pattern interrupt?

Getting out of our normal routine is key to accessing the restoration our souls require. Remind yourself what you enjoy, what you want the next chapter to look like. Finally, write that book or even just read a book, without interruption. Whatever it is, I am holding space for you and your big dreams.

5 Facts about the Phineas wright house

After Phineas Wright died, the fourth minister of First Parish Church built an "apartment" over the carriage house and rented the Main House back to Mrs. Wright for a penny a year.

My 82-year-old neighbor with the sheep farm moved to the Phineas Wright House when she was in 8th grade.

The Edes family used the property as a dairy farm for 2 generations

There were formal gardens here that are cataloged in the Smithsonian Institute and have been the subject of many publications including Victoria Magazine, Home & Garden, and a stop on the Victory Garden Tour.

The original property was a 50-acre parcel and it is my dream to restore that lot to its original size.  Big dreams! Big dreams, I say!
