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.
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.
