Family reunion

Family came together from California, North Carolina, and Utah to stay at this wonderful farm while visiting relatives in Amherst, NH. We all fit very comfortably and really enjoyed our time at this lovely property. The owner, Laura, greeted us. The house is tastefully decorated and was very clean. Everything we needed was in the kitchen. There is a large great room where we were able to play music and sing without bothering any neighbors, since the property is 20 acres. We will definitely rent this home again in the future!

About the host

Hosted by William & Laura Ferry

My husband Bill and I have always dreamed of owning a B&B type property. I have spent 30 years in hotels and restaurants and Bill in home improvement. We have always felt that we have the perfect background to make this dream come true.
Journey Cake Farm became the final piece to this dream. It was love at first sight.

Why they chose this property

Jouney Cake Farm has a great feeling when you arrive on the property. Guests are at ease instantly and enjoy the peaceful energy at this tranquil setting. In todays crazy world of technology and fast paced lifestyle JCF is close enough to all the conveniences of modern life but situated in a way that feels like your own private sanctuary.
