TERRY ALLEN, ET AL., PLAINTIFFS,v.CITY OF NEW YORK, ET AL., DEFENDANTS.
DECISION and ORDER
Plaintiffs commenced the instant action against Defendants seeking to recover for damage to their property allegedly caused by flooding. Plaintiffs essentially contend that Defendants mismanaged the Pepacton Dam, thereby allowing the flooding that caused damage to their property. Presently before the Court are Defendants' motions to dismiss pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12.
a. Brief History of the Pepacton Dam and Water Litigation
In the 1920s, the State of New York proposed to divert a large amount of water from various tributaries of the Delaware River. State of New Jersey v. State of New York, 51 S.Ct. 478, 479 (1931). The State of New Jersey filed suit against the State of New York seeking to enjoin New York from diverting the water. New Jersey asserted "that the proposed diversion will transgress its rights in many respects." Id at 480. New Jersey complained that the proposed diversion: will interfere with the navigability of the Delaware without the authority of Congress or the Secretary of War. That it will deprive the State and its citizens who are riparian owners of the undiminished flow of the stream to which they are entitled by the common law as adopted by both States. That it will injuriously affect water power and the ability to develop it. That it will injuriously affect the sanitary conditions of the River. That it will do the same to the industrial use of it. That it will increase the salinity of the lower part of the River and of Delaware Bay to the injury of the oyster industry there. That it will injure the shad fisheries. That it will do the same to the municipal water supply of the New Jersey towns and cities on the River. That by lowering the level of the water it will injure the cultivation of adjoining lands; and finally, that it will injuriously affect the River for recreational purposes. The bill also complains of the change of watershed, already disposed of; denies the necessity of the diversion; charges extravagant use of present supplies, and alleges that the plan will violate the Federal Water Power Act, 16 USCA ss 791-823 (but see U. S. Code, tit. 16, s 821 (16 USCA s 821)), interfere with interstate commence, prefer the ports of New York to those of New Jersey and will take the property of New Jersey and its citizens without due process of law.
The result of the litigation was a Supreme Court decree that allowed New York to divert water, but with limitations on the quantity and certain other conditions. See id. at 481, 562-563. Thereafter, New York commenced the construction of various dams on the River, including the Pepacton Dam.*fn1 In 1954, the Supreme Court approved a modification of the earlier decree. Thereafter, the states of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware*fn2 entered into a Compact, approved by the United States Congress, creating the Delaware River Basin Commissions ("DRBC"). The DRBC was created to "develop and effectuate plans, policies and projects relating to the water resources of the basin." N.Y. Env. Conserv. Law § 21-0701, § 3.1.
b. The Facts Behind the Current Litigation
Defendants New York City and the Department of Environmental Protection of the City of New York (collectively "City of New York Defendants") own and operate the Pepacton Dam (the "Dam") in the Town of Colchester, County of Delaware, State of New York. Plaintiffs own property in the Town of Colchester, County of Delaware, State of New York. The Plaintiffs' property is located along, or in close proximity to, the East Branch of the Delaware River, which is downstream from the Dam.
For several days leading up to the time period of September 17-18, 2004, a tropical storm known as Hurricane Ivan (the "Storm") made landfall in the southeastern portion of the United States. The Storm traveled north through the eastern portion of the Country. The Complaint alleges that "for a period of time prior to September 17, 2004, the reservoir and waters contained by the Pepacton Dam were at a high level."
During the period of September 17-18, the Storm reached the area of Delaware County, New York dropping large amounts of rainfall in the area. The large amounts of rainfall caused "an overflow of the Pepacton Dam, in turn causing overflow of the banks of East Branch of the Delaware River, resulting in extensive flooding and damage to the real and personal property of the plaintiffs. . . ." Compl. at ¶ M.
Plaintiffs filed the instant lawsuit asserting four causes of action. The first cause of action claims that Defendants negligently failed to effectuate flood control plans. The second cause of action claims that Defendants negligently failed to cause a controlled release of the waters contained by the Dam so as to minimize the overflow. The third cause of action claims that Defendants failed to warn Plaintiffs that the Dam was likely to overflow. The fourth cause of action asserts that Defendants failed to formulate a flood mitigation plan.
Defendants now move pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12 seeking dismissal of the Complaint in its entirety.
a. Standing/Res Judicata
The City of New York Defendants argue that Plaintiff do not have standing and that this matter is barred by res judicata. The basis for this argument is that the waters of the Delaware River, as controlled by the Dam, were the subject of litigation in the United States Supreme Court between the States of New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware. See New Jersey v. New York, 347 U.S. 995 (1954); New Jersey v. New York, 51 S.Ct. 478 (1931). According to the City of New York Defendants, the State of New York acted in its capacity of parens patriae and represented the interests of its citizens in all matters concerning the waters of the Delaware River. Defendants further argue that matters concerning flooding could have been raised in the prior litigation.
For res judicata to apply, Defendants "must show that (1) the previous action involved an adjudication on the merits; (2) the previous action involved the [parties] or those in privity with them; [and] (3) the claims asserted in the subsequent action were, or could have been, raised in the prior action." Monahan v. New York City Dep't of Corr., 214 F.3d 275, 284-85 (2d Cir. 2000) (citing Allen v. McCurry, 449 U.S. 90, 94, 101 S.Ct. 411, 66 L.Ed.2d 308 (1980)). The Court finds that the second and third elements are not satisfied here.
The prior litigation involved rights to the waters of the Delaware River. Upon learning that the State of New York intended to divert a large amount of water from various tributaries (including the Delaware River), the State of New Jersey sued to enjoin the diversion to protects its interests in the water. In its complaint against the State of New York, New Jersey raised several concerns that could result from New York's diversion of water, such as interfering with the navigability of the Delaware, depriving the State and its citizens of the undiminished flow of the stream, affecting water power and the ability to develop it, injuriously affecting the sanitary conditions and industrial uses of the River, increasing the salinity of the River, injuring fisheries, injuring the water supply of New Jersey cities and towns, injuring the cultivating of adjoining lands (because of lower water levels), and negatively affecting recreational uses of the River. Nothing in that litigation concerned potential damage to property owners as the result of flooding. In fact, at the time those lawsuit were initially commenced, the Dam had not even been constructed. The ultimate result of the litigation was a decree whereby the State of New York was allowed to divert water, subject to certain restrictions not relevant hereto.
Although the State of New York appears to have acted in its capacity as parens patriae in protecting the water rights of its citizens (and particularly the residents of New York City), see e.g. New York v. New Jersey, 73 S.Ct. 689 (1953), nothing in the litigation before the Supreme Court concerned protecting downstream residents from flooding. The prior litigation before the Supreme Court concerned whether there would be enough water and the consequences to river ecology, power production, and recreation. There is no indication in the cases that there was any concern or issue about flooding. The Court, therefore, rejects the argument that the State of New York was acting as parens patriae with respect to protecting property owners from flood damage. The State was acting only to protect the interests of its citizens in ensuring adequate water supply. The Court, therefore, finds that the prior litigation did not involve Plaintiffs or those in privity with them and that these claims could not have been raised in the prior litigation.*fn3
The cases relied upon by the City of New York do not compel a different conclusion. The case of Badgley v. City of New York, 606 F.2d 358 (2d Cir. 1979), involved plaintiffs who claimed "that the value of their land along the Delaware River . . . was diminished by the City of New York's impoundment, diversion and manipulation of the headwaters of the Delaware River for the City's public water supply purposes." Id. at 361. The plaintiff complained that the City's diversion of water interfered with their right to the "full natural flow of the Delaware River." Id. at 365. The plaintiff asserted that there were substantial fluctuations in the flow of the water as it passed their premises, and lower water temperatures resulting from the release of water from the bottom of the dam, which rendered the river unsuitable as a fishery. The plaintiff further complained that the fluctuations in volume, stage, flow and temperature had adverse effects on swimming, boating, and the general ecology of the river. The Second Circuit concluded that the State of Pennsylvania "represented all of its citizens" in the proceedings before the Supreme Court "and that the terms fo the decree are thus conclusive upon all Pennsylvania citizens and bind their rights." Id. at 364. The Second Circuit found that "the rights of Pennsylvania citizens cannot exceed those of Pennsylvania itself and the extent of Pennsylvania's rights in the Delaware River was conclusively determined by the terms of the [Supreme Court] Decree." Id. at 365.
The critical distinction between Badgley and this case is that Badgley involved a claim resulting from a decrease in the natural flow of water and the consequences resulting therefrom. The issue of water flow and its impact on ecology, sanitation, fisheries, and recreation is precisely that which was litigated before the Supreme Court. Id. at 368. The Second Circuit thus held that, because the Supreme Court Decree set forth the States' rights to water flow and each State acted in the interests of its citizens, individual citizens could not sue for damages resulting from decreased flow. As the Second Circuit stated, the property owners "cannot recover from New York City for what their own sovereign has ceded in their behalf. . . . To grant [the property owners] damages for injuries to their riparian properties . . . would amount to a total circumvention of [the DRBC Compact] and would accomplish what would otherwise require the unanimous consent of all the parties to the Decree." Id. at 370. "What the Supreme Court decreed would be rendered nugatory by damage awards to private owners. . . ." Id. at 366.
Similarly, in State of New Jersey v. State of New York, 73 S.Ct. 689 (1953), the City of Philadelphia sought to intervene in the above-discussed litigation to protect its rights to the water. The Supreme Court concluded that the City of Philadelphia could not intervene because its interests were being protected by the State of Pennsylvania. Once again, however, the claims in the City of Philadelphia's motion to intervene involved access to the water and not the consequences of overflows or flooding.
Here, by contrast, the claims do not involve damages resulting from a decreased flow of water or from conduct expressly authorized by the Decree.*fn4 To the contrary, the claims involve damages resulting from flooding purportedly caused by the failure to release water from the Dam in the face of upcoming storms, the failure to warn of potential flooding, and the failure to develop a flood plan. As previously noted, there is no indication that any of the States to the Supreme Court litigation raised issues concerning flooding that may be caused by the building of reservoirs or the operation of dams. The concern in that litigation was with the consequences of decreased flow; not increased flow. Accordingly, the State of New York did not represent Plaintiffs' interests in the prior litigation and the issues in this case could not have been raised in the prior litigation. Res judicata is inapplicable here.
b. Subject Matter Jurisdiction
The foregoing analysis further leads this Court to conclude that it lacks subject matter jurisdiction.*fn5 This action was originally commenced in state court. Defendants removed the action to this Court in reliance upon § 15.1(p) of the DRBC Compact which provides that:
The United States district courts shall have original jurisdiction of all cases and controversies arising under the Compact, and this Act and any case or controversy so arising . . . may be removable to the appropriate United States District Court.
As previously noted, the DRBC was created to "develop and effectuate plans, policies and projects relating to the water resources of the basin." N.Y. Env. Conserv. Law § 21-0701, § 3.1. The main purpose of the Compact is to regulate the allocation of water from the Delaware River among the four states that are parties to the Compact. Compact, Art. I, par. 1.3. The overriding concern of the Compact is with water resources. Id.*fn6 While the Compact does have a provision pertaining to flood protection, that provision merely enables, but does not require, the DRBC to engage in flood protection activities. See Compact at Article 6 ("The commission may plan, design, construct and operate and maintain projects and facilities, as it may deem necessary or desirable for flood damage reduction."). None of the events in this case are alleged to be the result of flood protection activities pursuant to the Compact.
In any event, inasmuch as Plaintiffs are not parties to the Compact, see discussion supra at § II(a), the instant controversy cannot be said to arise thereunder. As previously discussed, when the State of New York litigated in the Supreme Court and negotiated and entered into the Compact, it did not act on behalf of individual property owners with respect to potential property damage resulting from flooding. Thus, Plaintiffs are not subject to the Compact with respect to claims for property damage resulting from flooding and their claims for property damage do not arise out of the Compact.
Similarly, neither the Decree nor the Compact purport to address property damage resulting from the operation of reservoirs, dams, or the diversion of waters. Nothing about this litigation implicates the duties or obligations created by, or the terms of, the Compact.
Accordingly, Plaintiffs' claims do not arise under the Compact and this Court does not have subject matter jurisdiction.
Before concluding, the Court will pause to note the likely lack of merit to Plaintiffs' claims. It is well-settled that there can be no liability for negligence absent a duty of care owed to the plaintiffs. Darby v. Compagnie National Air France, 96 N.Y.2d 343, 347 (2001). The general rule applicable to a case such as this one is that "a dam operator generally has no duty to provide flood control services for other riparian owners, or, as it is sometimes stated, that the dam operator has the right to allow water to pass through the dam in the same amount as it enters the pond behind the dam." Janet Fairchild, Liability for Overflow of Water Confined or Diverted for Public Water Power Purposes, 91 A.L.R.3d 1065 § 11(a) (and cases cited therein). "[T]he only obligation imposed upon a dam operator in the operation of the dam is not to worsen conditions downstream beyond what would have occurred in the absence of the dam." Key Sales Co. v. South Carolina Elec. & Gas Co., 290 F. Supp. 8, 23 (D. S.C. 1968); DeKalb County v. Tennessee Electric & Power Co., 17 Tenn. App. 343, 67 S.W.2d 555, 560 (1933) ("This action could only be maintained upon the theory of negligence on the part of the power company in manipulating the gates and the dam, for the company had the right to maintain the dam and to permit flood waters to pass through or over it in such quantities as flowed into it."). "The owner of a dam may permit flood waters to flow over a dam in such quantities as naturally flow into the reservoir. Such owner is under a duty not to worsen the condition of a downstream owner, but he is under no duty to improve that situation by using the dam for flood control." Kambish v. Santa Clara Valley Water Conserv. Dist., 185 Cal. App.2d 107, 110 (Cal. App. 1960). Indeed, this is the rule in New York. See Iodice v. State, 102 N.Y.S.2d 742 (4th Dep't 1951), aff'd, 303 N.Y. 740 (1951).
In Iodice, It [was] the contention of the claimants that the flooding of the premises was occasioned by the negligence of employees of the state of New York in the operation of the Delta Dam Reservoir in that they failed to maintain the water in the reservoir at a level sufficiently below the top elevation of the spillway to hold back additional water coming into the reservoir occasioned by excessive rain, and permitting the discharge of water into the Mohawk River in such an amount as to cause the overflow of its banks.
Id. at 743. The claimants in Iodice argued that the state was liable because "having the means to draw down the impounded water, it was the duty of the state to do so to the end that the water level should be kept below the spillway level so that 'a portion of any heavy rainfall' (Finding 46) would be retained in the reservoir and not discharged into the river in such an amount as to cause the river to overflow its bank." Id. The Appellate Division concluded that there was no such duty. Id. at 744. As that court stated: we know of no authority and none has been called to our attention which imposes any such duty upon the state nor has any case been cited which imposes such a duty upon a private individual or a corporation. If there was some duty, either statutory or at common law, on the part of the state to regulate the outflow of water from the dam so as to minimize or eliminate the flooding of lands below to an extent greater than would be the case if the river flowed naturally, then a negligent omission to perform the duty of such regulation would sustain an action for damages. We find no such duty. The dam was authorized and is intended as a storage reservoir for the purpose of supplying water to the Barge Canal. The funds used for its construction were authorized solely for the improvement of the canal system and not for flood control purposes. There being no statutory duty to operate the dam for flood control purposes, any duty to operate the dam for the purpose of bettering natural conditions must be found in some rule of the common law which would be applicable to a private individual or a corporation. We know of no principle of the common law which imposes any such duty.
Id. The court continued to hold that "a dam owner has the right to let nature take its course, i.e., the right to permit flood waters go over his dam where the volume of water cast into the channel below the dam does not exceed the volume coming in above the dam." Id. The Court reached "the conclusion that there is no responsibility or duty on the state to make flood conditions better for lower property owners than they would be if the river flowed naturally in low water and high." Id. at 747; see also Destito v. State, 1 A.D.2d 753 (4th Dep't 1955); Schloop v. State, 18 Misc.2d 485, 487 (N.Y. Court of Claims 1959).
Based upon this authority, it is clear that Plaintiffs can have no claim against the City of New York Defendants unless they can offer evidence that Defendants allowed more water to leave the dam than entered or otherwise worsened conditions downstream beyond what would have occurred in the absence of the dam. The City purports to have evidence demonstrating that the rainstorms of September 2004 and April 2005, water entered the Pepacton reservoir in a greater volume and in a shorter time than it exited the reservoir and that the reservoir significantly attenuated the flow of water. If true, such evidence would defeat Plaintiffs' claims.*fn7
A similar result would appear to be warranted for Plaintiff's failure to warn claim. Defendants can only be said to have a duty to warn Plaintiffs with respect to conduct that might have worsened the downstream conditions. If the only allegation or proof is that the Defendants failed to warn the downstream residents of flooding that would be no worse than under natural circumstances, then such a claim would appear to be without merit.
The claims against the County of Delaware and the Town of Colchester appear to be on even weaker ground. Neither of those municipal entities are purported to own or operate the Dam. It, therefore, is difficult to conceive how they could owe any duty of care to Plaintiffs in connection with any flooding in connection with the operation of the Dam.*fn8
For the foregoing reasons, this matter is hereby REMANDED to the Supreme Court of the State of New York, Delaware County.

Elizabeth Olsen isn't necessarily trying to emerge from the shadow of her older sisters, Mary-Kate and Ashley -- she's trying to just be as far away from that shadow as possible. Considering Olsen's name is being mentioned along with "Oscar nomination" for her starring role in this weekend's limited release, 'Martha Marcy May Marlene,' she's doing a pretty good job of making the separation. Not that the 22-year-old is completely embracing the idea of awards; she describes the nomination possibility as "frightening."

My family and friends very much enjoyed our stay at Rustic Blueberry Mountain Lodge. Sharon greeted us and gave us a tour of the Lodge when we arrived, and since she lives next door we saw her very frequently. The lodge is endlessly fascinating place, both inside and out. We especially enjoyed relaxing on the porch after taking long morning hikes along the nearby M-S Trail.JefferyJune 2016
Our family had the most fantastic stay! Katie was so warm and welcoming and we instantly felt at home. The house itself is absolutely beautiful with an unbelievable view to boot. Cannot recommend this house or the host higher!AmyOctober 2015
Such an amazing home to spend a weekend in! Absolutely loved the wood burning fireplace and the individual spaces in the home. We had 4 total guests in the house and had more than enough room to spend together and break away for a quite read somewhere. Enjoyed the tv room upstairs being seperated from the rest of the house and we were able to hook up our laptop to share pictures via the HDMI port going into the DVD player which was great. Also, I was able to get 4G Verizon speed within the house which helped for maps and planning out hikes around the area. Katie has an excellent welcome package that outlines the food, local attractions, and outdoor activities. We took two hikes on the Eliza Adams Gorge and Bailey Brook gorge trail which were spectuclar. Each trail connects with a stream and allows you to enjoy the sound of running water while you walk! Would love to come back in the summer months and 100% recommend staying in this beautiful home and area of New Hampshire. Thanks Katie!MichaelJanuary 2015
We had an amazing time at Katherine's lodge. There were 8 of us (4 adults and 4 kids) and there was still plenty of room left. The lodge is very spacious, beautifully decorated and equipped with all the necessities to make one's stay comfortable and relaxing. It rained on the first day (October) but we didn't mind staying inside at all. The view onto misty fields and hills was still amazing, and there were games, music instruments and movies to keep us occupied for hours. We're already making plans for a return trip. The backyard was perfect for kids to play in and the neighborhood offered fantastic views of New England foliage. The nearby lakes and hills are very picturesque. We took a small hike to a waterfall 10 minutes drive away and it was wonderful. The blueberry bushes growing by the house and the wild turkeys running around add to the atmosphere of the place. We've used Airbnb many times by now but this could well be one of our very favorite trips. What a perfect weekend!AdamOctober 2014
Sharon & Katherine were terrific hosts for a relaxing long weekend in Harrisville! We got to enjoy every kind of weather, walk and jog around Child's Bog, hike over to the Kulish Ledges, explore the neighboring towns, and just soak up the lovely lodge on (aptly named) Blueberry Mountain. And our three dogs got to run around off leash with Ruler, Cricket, and Magic :-)NickMay 2016
It was a pleasure staying at the cottage. Katherine was always quick to respond and tremendously helpful in each bit of communication I had with her. The cabin is lovely and the mountain scenery is fantastic, definitely a tremendous winter get-away.RyanFebruary 2016
Rustic Blueberry Mountain Lodge was the perfect place for our White Christmas family gathering. The main photo in the listing says it all - a warm welcoming hearth with brass stocking hangers spelling "WISH" and plenty of seating for the gang to gather. The whole house is an eclectic, fun and funky (in a good way) good time. There's a large country kitchen with a cooking island and everything you'll need to feed your troops. Just off the kitchen there's a spacious living and dining area that leads to double French doors and a spacious western exposure deck perfect for watching the sun sink behind the mountains or enjoying the stars on a crisp clear night. The four bedrooms upstairs can sleep 8 and offer two more sitting areas and a full bath. One bedroom even has a cute little electric fireplace that throws extra heat if you need it as my 83 year old dad clearly did. There's a flat screen TV with DVD player (plenty of movies) but no cable or satellite TV (no big whoop for my crew). There was no WiFi during our visit, but I suspect that will change. One thing I will note for folks with physical challenges, this house has a few level changes on its two floors, some a full step up, some just an inch or two. That can be daunting for some and takes some getting used to all, but it's part of the cabin's charm. Making arrangements with Katherine, Wendy and Bob (who lives in a small cabin on the property) was a snap. They even decorated for Christmas and supplied an old guitar and assorted recorders and flutes to help us make our joyful noise. RBML is a short drive to quaint Harrisville, but Keene is the place to go for a classic New England Main Street, restaurants, brewpubs, shopping and the like. Brattleboro, Vermont is also worth the 30 minute ride. All in all, Rustic Blueberry Mountain Lodge is a magical, musical place owned by a family that infused a lot of fun and love in the old walls. You can't help but get into the spirit when you stay here.SteveDecember 2014
Huge space. Wonderful light. Stocked with everything you need. Great rustic Interior design. Lots of nooks and crannies to sit and visit. Goodlocation for general area visiting. Driveway may require a 4 Wheel Dr. in snow. Electric cooktop is a bit futzy. Forced air heat can be loud but not a problem We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and recommend it highly.TedDecember 2014

This was our second visit to Edie's wonderful place in Harrisville. We so enjoy everything about it--the comfortable apartment, the spectacular views, the utter peacefulness of the place. And Edie is a great host--available if you need her, delightful to talk with, knows the area so well having lived there for many years (and written about it extensively), and happy to give you plenty of privacy. Highly recommend!Caroline August 2015
What a treasure this place is. We spent a wonderful, blissfully quiet and restful week at Edie's beautiful Stillpoint. The place is cozy (actually quite spacious for 2 people, with bedroom, living room, kitchen, and 2 porches, one open, one enclosed). The bed is comfortable, the kitchen is really well supplied, there are even some great books on the shelves, including Edie's own, and the view of Mt Monadnock is spectacular, even on a grey day. Edie was a great host, helpful when needed, great fun to chat with, and not the least bit intrusive. The perfect balance, in our view. She even stocked the frig with a few basics when she heard we'd be arriving on the late side. Great experience. Thank you, Edie. We will be back!Caroline August 2014
Edie was a very welcoming host. She was there to meet us as soon as we arrived with information not only about the house and our stay, but also about local activities and events happening in the area. Stillpoint is a beautiful and very peaceful property with a great view. Highly recommended!LukeOctober 2014
This was a beautiful rural setting, just as in the photos. The rooms were decorated with first rate local art and collectables. It was a delight inside and out. My host was very friendly and also respectful of my privacy. Everything was great. I am now renting a house a few miles away for the year and expect to see my host again. Very quiet location yet only a few miles from Keene and other towns which were a delight to explore. I couldn't have had a nicer place to stay for the month.MarkSeptember 2015
Our stay at Stillpoint was totally relaxing. Edie is a host who knows the balance between welcoming and privacy. The apartment is clean and cozy. So glad we found this country retreat. Thank you Edie and Harriet.TawnyAugust 2015
This is truly a relaxing and lovely retreat. We spent several days here and felt wonderfully rejuvenated after our stay. The cottage is surrounded by beautiful mountains, lakes, small towns, and farmers markets. Highly recommended for anyone looking to slow things down and relax.AartiSeptember 2011
Gorgeous home maintained by a lovely woman! Definitely worth it if you're exploring Harrisville and the surrounding area!!MarkSeptember 2014
We had a great stay at Stillpoint! Edie was a terrific host and has set-up a really nice get-away! The kitchen and bathroom were very well stocked, which made my girlfriend and I happy as we enjoy cooking. The space is quaint and nicely-decorated and perfect for someone looking to escape from city life. The mountain views from just outside the home are breathtaking! Visiting in early March during an unseasonably cold winter, we did find the place rather chilly but Edie was very accommodating and offered to make a fire in the wood stove and turned up the central heating. Overall a nice retreat for a couple! We'd highly recommend!ChristopherMarch 2014

We were made to feel very welcome. Liked the large room very much . Private entrance and bath were important to us. Lovely, secluded and rural-- all plusses for us. We would definitely stay again.WayneSeptember 2016
Cynthia and Dan's house was very cute. The main door you see in the photo is the private guest door with the bedroom off to the left. Nice size room and bathroom with a comfy bed. Cynthia, Dan and their two young children were very nice and welcoming. I went outside after dark each night and just looked at the stars It was so quiet and peaceful out in the country. We had a great stay. Thank you so much. Sue and GlennsusanSeptember 2016
Cindy, Dan, and their children made us feel very welcome. I do not believe that you would receive better kindness, hospitality, or value for your dollar at any other location in this area. My wife and I stayed here to attend my son's wedding at Cobb Hill Estate which is a 25 minute drive from their home. We hope to stay again if welcome and travelling in the area again. Ross and JuanitaRossSeptember 2016
Cynthia and Dan we're super hosts! We had everything we needed and then some! The most comfortable sleep of my life accompanied by crickets and cool breezes from their farm surrounding. They are great parents and fun as can be! We really enjoyed getting to be a small part of their lives for 2 nights. Thank you for the GREAT accommodations!GeorgeAugust 2016
We had a wonderful time. Beautiful location and very nice family. Would recommend a stay here.HeidiSeptember 2016
Cynthia was there to greet us and the home was beautiful. We met Dan later that eve and he was very friendly as well. The room is spacious, clean, well designed and more than we expected. The bed is quite comfortable, the room had plenty of air with the 4 or so windows! The bathroom was wonderful with extra little goodies if we needed them. Thank you so much for accommodating us. We'd definitely stay again.KristinAugust 2016
We had a great time staying here. My boyfriend and I came up for the weekend to attend a friends wedding and the Cheshires could not have been more accommodating hosts. The property is beautiful and relaxing and we enjoyed walking around and exploring Harrisville. Definitely the best place to stay in town!CaraSeptember 2015
We had a relaxing, comfortable stay at Cynthia's. She and her husband were gracious hosts. It's a particularly quiet setting in the country with no road noise.NewSeptember 2015

Hans and Marcy have a lovely and very unique home. Their space is both cozy and artistically decorated as they are artists. Upon our arrival Marcy took us around her property to see all the art forms that have been created by her students. Marcy and Hans were wonderful hosts. They were interesting to converse with and we immediately felt so comfortable and welcome in their home. We would highly recommend this home and we hope to go back again soon. Lianne and BillLianne & BillJuly 2016
The host canceled this reservation 123 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.Michael
This was a great experience, my first time using Air BNB. Hans and his wife were very nice and provided a great space for me and my wife. I can only say nice things about Hans and Marjory. Thank you. I hope to stay there again.MichaelJuly 2016
The pictures do not do this cozy little apartment justice. I was enthralled with the artful and welcoming atmosphere of the space, which is a true reflection of Hans and Marcy. From the first moment I arrived I was at ease with the sincere and sustaining welcome which was offered. I had my privacy and equal measure of company in a way which was effortless and balanced. The surrounding area is a pleasure to walk, with lakes and trees galore and Mount Monadnock gracing it all.JeanApril 2016
Hans was a great host and his place was beautiful, comfortable, scenic and private. totally recommended. thank you!!JeffJune 2016
Hans and Marcy were very friendly. We enjoyed chatting with them.AlanJuly 2016
Hans and Marcy made me feel incredibly welcome and the listing was surprisingly accurate. I did not expect it to be quite so large a space or so wonderful but it was both. The neighborhood is quiet and picturesque.JonathanDecember 2015

Our trip to Cobb Hill Estate was fantastic. The house is very large and has and old-style New England feel to it. I spent the weekend at the home with 9 people and everyone slept comfortably with room to spare. The best parts of Cobb Hill are the view and the hiking that can be done on the grounds. Keene, NH is a short 20-30 minute drive so picking up groceries or checking out the small bars or shops is doable as well. Overall we had a great time.AndrewMarch 2016
The listing was very accurate, and it was more beautiful than we even expected!ChristaApril 2016
This was an excellent experience. The facility was as described and the sunrises and sunsets were spectacular.BillMarch 2016
The house was excellent, so much space!Rebecca January 2016
Highly recommended!!! The view is priceless!! The house is also fantastic! Plenty of space and bathrooms so that a group of 15 was more than comfortable. The living room has a spectacular view and cozy fireplace. Kitchen is ideal for cooking for large groups. All bedroom were spacious. Everything was clean, the kitchen was fully supplied with dishes, glasses, pots, pans, etc. We had a perfect stay!!KateNovember 2016
We never saw a soul on Cobb Hill but couldn't have felt more welcome. Advance information was super-helpful, the house and grounds had many helpful notes, and the owner checked in by email in our first night to make sure all was okay. We had wonderful hikes and views on fall beauty.StephenOctober 2016
This place was amazing!! Absolutely beautiful, and the hosts were incredibly gracious and helpful. The photos don't do it justice and the grounds were incredible. Thanks so much to Tom for having us there, I would absolutely rent from him again. Thanks for an amazing weekend!KatelinApril 2016
The estate was absolutely gorgeous, the pictures are nice but the views are far more breathtaking in person. Tom was extremely helpful, rearranging scheduled events on short notice to accommodate our schedule. Everything that was promised was delivered and then some. We did experience a lot of bugs during our stay due to the weather and season, but he was clear that we might have a bug issue before we booked and provided bug spray. Overall it was a fantastic stay and I'll be recommending it to friends and family.DanielMay 2016

The place was great! The host/bob made things very easy... And never had difficulty in getting in touch with him...ChrisSeptember 2015
The cabin is fun once you get used to its quirks: small kitchen, touchy knobs in the shower. A lot of the windows slide sideways on wooden rails, which is neat. The location is great, in the woods, on the water; if the pond feels too weedy for swimming, hop in the kayak and paddle out to the raft! You are asked to wash the sheets if you use them; there is a laundromat 6 miles away in Marlborough, so that isn't too much trouble if you time it right. The bunkhouse is nice if you want some privacy, but your kids probably won't dare to walk out to it in the night if they need you. Bob is quick to respond to any questions and is a fine host.StephanieAugust 2015
If you're looking for a TRULY charming rustic cabin - this is the real deal. Bob set-out all the details we needed before we got there and everything went very smoothly. The property was very clean and well kept. We loved this place and hope to return.NeilJuly 2016
We had an idyllic week in this lovely, rustic cabin in an ideal setting. Gorgeous views, great water access, and close to wonderful hikes and local attractions. Bob was very easy to communicate with and very helpful on tips and logistics. We'd love to come back!CharlotteJuly 2016
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay on Chesham Pond and Bob was an excellent host. He provided detailed information in advance of the stay and was very easy to communicate with. The setting is beautiful and we enjoyed swimming in the lake, canoeing and kayaking, and eating outside on the porch overlooking the lake. The hike of Mt. Monadnock just 20 minutes away was excellent with a spectacular 360 view at the top. This cabin is a good pick for those who do not mind a simpler lifestyle as the kitchen is small with no dishwasher but is otherwise well appointed. The window between the kitchen and dining table is really fun; we enjoyed passing dishes and platters from stove to table through the window.BetsyJuly 2016
We had a great stay. The place is nicely located on Chesham Pond, a nice quiet location for swimming, relaxing with family / friends. All the boats we saw were either row / paddle boats or small fishing / cruising boats with electric motors -- no load motor boats or jet skis like on other NH lakes in summer! We also heard loons, saw blue heron, deer, a northern water snake and even a fox and an eagle during our stay. It's a summer cabin, equipped with all the basics, and the description is accurate. Bonus is that the Monadnock-Sunapee Greenway passes right by the property, offering great hiking / walking / running, and Silver Lake is just a 15 walk up Seaver Rd. Like many lake-side homes in the area, the water out of the tap is reddish in color (from iron in the area) and not the best for drinking water so count on using a filter or buying spring water for drinking / cooking.AntonioAugust 2015

Beautiful place to stay for the night. Shane was VERY welcoming and made sure e had everything we needed during our short visit. We will keep Aldworth Manor in mind for our next NH visit.JackiOctober 2016
Overall amazing! I loved how nice Shane was, and how nice the house was. It seriously blew all of my expectations. I will definitely try to come here again for another retreat. The house itself is beautiful and the area outside is beautiful as well. Overall a great experience. Definitely recommend anyone who is looking for a good place to get away to come here.MaxSeptember 2016
We were in the area for a conference, this was a collection of friends meeting in one spot, a rare occasion! Our stay was very nice! We cooked up a great meal. Rooms are nice, beds comfortable. Highly recommend!ElizabethNovember 2016
What a gorgeous place! Unfortunately, it was a full weekend for me so Shane and I only met on passing, but we're wry much in touch and he couldn't be more accommodating. The lodge is beautiful and the bed is super comfortable. Lots of wedding guests were staying in lots of places, but I hit the jackpot!AlexSeptember 2016
My girlfriend and I had an excellent experience at the beautiful property and Shane was extremely helpful and caring. Highly recommend if you are in the area.BrandonSeptember 2016

Everything went smoothly, the location is beautiful. I was greeted promptly on arrival and welcomed. Thanks to Brie and JorickJune 2016
This was a lovely place to stay, beautiful scenery and comfortable room. The host gave me a warm welcome and made sure I had everything I needed to settle in!MariaOctober 2016
We loved Cold Comfort Farm and would like to have stayed longer than one night. Brie was a great communicator prior to our visit and Jo was so welcoming. Their hospitality exceeded expectations.LizJune 2016
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful space and views! We only live an hour away, but one night felt like a true vacation.SarahMay 2016
Upon arrival we were greeted nicely by Jo (Brie's mother). She made us feel welcomed and gave us suggestions on where we could get some dinner, as it was already quite late for a town that sleeps early. The views from the location were beautiful. As I stated before we arrived late in the evening and left early the next morning, but during our short stay we enjoyed our stay. I would recommend the location to anyone.MirandaJuly 2016
Jo was a great hostess. Very helpful and friendly. The little touches were appreciated such as fresh cut flowers, mints, organic bath products, home baked muffins and thick, thirsty bath towels. Amazing 50s retro shower! The place was a bit more rustic outside than anticipated. That said, the setting was beautiful. We enjoyed a walk down their country lane past cows, chickens, sheep and horses...and some very grand homes!KaySeptember 2016
Brie's mom Jo was very accommodating. When we arrived, the family was preparing the barn for a wedding the following weekend. Jo was happy to talk about the history in the historic place. She told us about the local town and the best ways to go about. She let us see her horses. The room was perfect for a night with chocolates, coffee, and breakfast in the frig in the hall. I would recommend this to a friend!KimberlyMay 2016

Judy is a delightful host, eager to make sure her guests are super comfortable and have whatever they need. She opened her lovely home - including her great kitchen and very pretty den and living room to us and that just added so much value to an already excellent room. She made homemade gluten free scones which were super tasty and her warm and friendly attitude made our trip just wonderful. The basement bedroom was spacious and had the most comfortable beds- with a private bathroom and very good shower. The private room also has a table for eating, a micro wave and hot pot for hot chocolate and tea. The area was a great find - as there are fantastic restaurants within 15 of Judith's home, including a great green grocer that has an excellent selection of health food and really nice prepared foods. Oh -there is a frog in the room which is also very convenient. A great value with a lovely host!!!ThereseNovember 2016

El was an amazing host! Her apartment makes you feel like you're in Europe...right on a fantastic river that lulls you to sleep :). The adorable town square was a two minute walk with wonderful shops and restaurants. The apartment had fluffy towels, a cool bathroom, darling courtyard, just perfection! Can't wait to stay here again!!!AngelaAugust 2016
This sweet little studio is light and bright and cozy as anything you can imagine. El converted an old mill building into living space and when you are in it you almost feel like you are out on a dock with the river meandering below. Delightful space inside and out! Don't miss spending an hour in the breezy garden...Julia August 2016
This is a very special place - It is private and clean, and the building has has historical charm, but the river running by the building is its most stunning feature! Amazing! The River Street Suite was the perfect refuge for us. It was a pleasure to meet El, who was a kind and accommodating host! I would recommend her place for anyone visiting Peterborough!AthenaOctober 2015
We felt welcome and at home immediately in this private setting in Peterborough. The listing is walkable and convenient to all downtown venues. The furnishings are comfortable and the bathroom (which is handicap accessible) is unique and modern. The house is right on the river that runs through town which we found completely charming. Our hosts were very accommodating and we enjoyed our stay. We will return here on our next trip to the area.KarynJune 2015
Nice apartment just a short walk from downtown Peterborough. Being next to the river was nice, and we had a wonderful waterfall sound if we opened our windows. El made us feel very welcome; she stocked our kitchen with bottled water and K-cups of coffee. Overall a good experience.WesleyJuly 2015
Good host... communicative and responsive. Downstairs apartment has a futon bed, but it is comfortable. Very modern bathroom with radiant floor heat was a big plus in January. Nice apartment and convenient to downtown area of Peterborough. Would definitely recommend to others.EricJanuary 2015
We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay in this quaint town! The home was very inviting, clean, and the perfect place to just relax. It's in a great location--just a short walk to many restaurants and stores. Would definitely stay here again, and recommend to anyone!RachelSeptember 2016

This is a fantastic little cabin that has many great features in addition to beautiful views! We enjoyed staying indoors when it rained during our stay, there are a few games and many books available, when the weather was good we were able to hike and enjoy nature nearly right out the front door. Arrangements with Carrie were a breeze and she responds to messages quickly and thoughtfully. We could tell she is a stellar host when she came by to check that we were settled in even though it was a holiday. This is a great place to stay!CharlesDecember 2015
"Four Winds Farm is a truly special place situated on the top of a hill with spectacular views of surrounding mountains. Carrie Dumas, our host, was most helpful in all respects including in providing exact and easy directions and tips for nearby Peterborough, as well as promptly addressing queries during a most agreeable and relaxing stay. The historical mansion (tastefully restored by two architects) offers essential modern amenities in a charming and luminous setting. Centenary trees and garden grounds evoke past splendors and love for nature. Additional bonuses include a water lilies pond with frogs, an amazing library and unobstructed 300 degrees views of New Hampshire moody skies. We look forward to more magical days next year. Irene, Teresa & Laura "LauraAugust 2015
This listing - What a treasure! We had a wonderful weekend away at Carries beautiful property. The charming, sunlit house was a vacation in itself and the land and apple orchard were breathtaking (that view!!) Everything we could possibly need was provided and Carrie was an excellent host, communicative and professional. By far one of our favorite AirBnB spots to date, we can't wait to go back.ChuckApril 2016
Carrie's house is even more spectacular than the pictures depict. The only downside is you may not want to leave the place to explore everything there is to do in surrounding Peterborough. Carrie is a great host and I highly recommend her rental.ChrisAugust 2015
Wonderful stay at a gorgeous home. Our kids loved the property with so much to do. Would love to return. Thanks so much.DaveSeptember 2015
We had a wonderful time staying at Four Winds Farm! The setting was beautiful, with a great view of Mt. Monadnock from one bedroom and a view of a centuries-old tree from the other! The yard was great for the kids and there was a frog pond out front which was really cool, and wild turkeys would gather outside from time to time. Carrie was quick in responding to messages and was very accommodating. What a relaxing place to be, we would surely stay here again and again!SuzannaJune 2016
Carrie proved to be a thoughtful and accommodating host, especially when I asked to check in earlier than originally planned. The site is extremely private, with wonderful views of the nearby Monadnock peaks, but also only a few minutes drive to Shaw's supermarket and CVS for anything you'd need. The property boasts an interesting history linking it to Peterborough's early theater roots. Bette Davis got her start here! In addition, it is chock full of books, more books, art, and more art hanging on every conceivable wall space. Lots to look at! My husband and I particularly enjoyed sitting (and napping) outside taking in the spectacular fall foliage and interacting with Emmet (the Maremma sheep dog) as he patrolled the pasture where Carrie's mom's sheep grazed. Though the house is quite open and airy, there was plenty of good heat, even without the help of the large sitting room fireplace. The pantry was well-stocked with spices, condiments, and other cooking necessities. Plenty of dishes, glasses, pans, and so forth. Great bed linens, lots of towels. Also, an extensive collection of CDs with a nice sound system to enjoy them. In all, this rental has much to offer. It was a bit spacious for two people, but neither did we feel the need to go out -- so we didn't!HelenOctober 2015
Four Winds Farm is an absolutely stunning house in beautiful countryside and Carrie could not have been more efficient and helpful in making our stay as good as it could possibly be. The building is at the end of its own long driveway and thus totally private, which was the one thing I wasn't totally sure of when I booked it. It's also amazingly spacious, which is hard to comprehend from the pictures on this site. Carrie was extremely flexible and accommodating in helping us gain access to local amenities, providing extra linens for friends who visited during our stay and racing up the hill to sort out an over-zealous smoke alarm that happened to go off one morning. That said, she also completely gave us our privacy and let us feel that this home was very much ours during our stay. And it really is a wonderful home, full of lovely furniture, great books, decent kitchen equipment (the only good kitchen knives I've EVER had in any kind of holiday rental) and a fair supply of culinary basics - herbs, oils, flour etc - all really helpful for people traveling abroad, as we were. We felt this was a rare find, and will definitely come here again if the opportunity arises.LeonieAugust 2016

She stood out in her yard when we had trouble finding her place - partly GPS problems, partly I wrote down the wrong street number, and partly I did not know how to reply to text message. Mi casa es su case was the feeling. She also asked about food preferences for breakfast and accommodated us 150%. Wifi access was easy and straightforward. We enjoyed our conversations with Vanessa.GeneOctober 2016
Vanessa is a delightful and charming host with a natural gift for making guests feel welcome. Her attention to detsil, particularly her beautiful and delicious breakfasts (homemade granola and jams, and eggs fresh ftom her chickens) were a daily treat. The guest room and entire house is a lovely, comfortable and cheerful play of color and country style. Her two lovely daughters, and dog Casey were also friendly and fun. It is the perfect stay in a quintessentially perfect New England town. Where else could you meander through a backyard country garden filled with flowes, herbs, and raspberries, into the woods and out through the park in the center of town? Wonderful!MariJuly 2016
Vanessa was so welcoming and friendly -- very warm. She really welcomed me into her home in a very comfortable, unfussy way that put me at ease.JosephJuly 2016
We had an amazing experience with Vanessa! We arrived very late but she left clear instructions for us...where to park, where our room was, wifi password, etc... Then in the morning she made us an amazing breakfast! My friend is lactose intolerant and Vanessa even ran to the store before we awoke to purchase some dairy free products. She went above and beyond for us. I'd absolutely recommend her!KathrynAugust 2016
This place is an absolute gem. I was bummed that I did not get to explore the surrounding areas, as wedding activities and friends kept me pretty busy. Vanessa was there upon my arrival and was super sweet - as I showed up much later than I had anticipated. She was away for the weekend, but her daughters could not have been more responsive and sweet. The photos of this property really does not do it justice. The house is beautiful, eclectic, and homey. I really wish I had more time there!MegSeptember 2016
Vanessa was AMAZING! her place was awesome! Super cute and homey. She was awesome at communication and very helpful. She made breakfast everyday and was great at catering to dietary needs. 10/10 would definitely stay here again!BreeAnna August 2016
In spite of some confusing messages and notices from me? Vanessa was gracious, kind and considerate. The room is comfy and charming and the place is so close to downtown and my favorite parts of peterborough. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates comfort, convenience, and a great hostess.RonMay 2015

Great spot, was a perfect business sleep spot for me. Linda was very hospitable. I wish I had stayed longer!PatrickJuly 2016
This is a beautiful, sunny apartment in a great location! There are lots of huge windows, and bright sunny yellow walls, a cheerful place! It is spotless, and i appreciate they encourage people to wear slippers inside. Linda is so nice to work with, returning my emails promptly. She was very flexible, and she allowed us to check in early which was wonderful! The location is great, only a mile or two from the center of Peterborough, and there is an organic market down the street with a great cafe! Linda left some great looking soup for us in the refrigerator, but we unfortunately were out most of the time and didn't have it, our loss. We hope to stay again sometime, as we loved the apartment. Thank you, Linda, for a wonderful weekend!NancyNovember 2016
A wonderfully private space and very relaxing with tea each morning in the "zen" park across the street. It was the perfect place for us and I love the beautiful marble floors. Thanks for your generosity.ElizabethSeptember 2016
Communication was great, as was the ease of finding the home and access. It was a very pleasant light, bright and clean space. The kitchen came in real handy as we were preparing food for a family get together. Thanks Linda!AmyOctober 2016
When I checked in, I met Linda's husband and he was so friendly and welcoming and showed me the rest of the place. I was in the part of the building that had been renovated into a bedroom, a kitchenette, and a living section just as shown in the photos. A bright and charming little place that was perfect for me. The location was also great because I needed to go to Dublin and Keene every day. If you love local organic foods, there was a natural grocery store/cafe just opposite to it and there was a bonus for my stay. I would highly recommended this place if you are travelling alone or with a partner.MariaOctober 2016
Linda was quick to respond to request to stay for 1 night after hiking Mt Monadnock. Her son-in-law was there to help check-in. He lives in the upstairs apt. Nice guy. There is lots of parking in the back, large yellow building with lots of light and lofted ceilings. You enter into a large kitchen ( the entrance door that is shared to the hallway is frosted glass and doesn't offer complete privacy). It was nice to have the separate bedroom. Agree with another reviewer that the bed was hard, which didn't bother me at all, but may not be comfortable for those who like softer beds and as mentioned by another reviewer, "Take note that the bathroom for this unit is down the hall so you'll want to be sure to be dressed appropriately for those occasions". The windows are enormous and look out on the passing road so again not super secluded feeling, but nonetheless, quiet. It served as a great overnight spot to catch a pleasant sleep--- thanks!IanNovember 2016
Linda and Greg greeted us and told us about the apartment and stressed to us to let them know if we needed anything. The apartment was very quiet for sleeping and utensils for those who want to cook or just make coffee or tea in the morning were available. We cooked in the apartment two nights with plenty of plates, silverware, and large refrigerator for storage. Bathroom was spotless with plenty of hot water to shower. There is no television but a strong WiFi connection is available. All in all a great place to stay.TomAugust 2016
Our stay at Linda's AirBnB was great! Perfect for a getaway from the city. The place was quiet, peaceful, and clean. We do wish there was a couch and maybe a television as we had wanted to watch a movie with dinner but had to watch it in the room. Overall we loved it!TamOctober 2016

Kathy was very welcoming and the bedroom was exactly as I expected. Good stay!MelanieFebruary 2016
Kathy waved me in to her parking lot and was very friendly and welcoming. I had a relaxing evening and great conversation over coffee in the morning. Her place was really close to where I needed to be and her dinner recommendation was perfect.LaurieJune 2016
Very pleasant and friendly. Greeted me warmly and was very helpful. Enjoyed my time there.MichaelMay 2016
Kathy's place is great. Situated in rural NH, but close to Peterborough, I had an enjoyable stay. Peterborough is small but quintessentially New England, with many small parks dotting the town. I enjoyed my time there and would return for sure.Joe September 2016
Kathy is a great host, very laid back & open. Would definitely book again.Pearlette May 2016

Our stay was exactly what we hoped for and needed: cozy, comfortable, clean and delightful New England charm close to everything, particularly the Clarence Delmar marathon start for those of us running. It was even better than that - spacious, variety of breakfast foods, and a host (Sue) who was gracious and accessible as needed. I had just broken my ankle so was relieved to find the place easy to maneuver. Sue kindly mailed our phone charger to us after we left it there. We all highly recommend it and would choose to stay there again.DarchelleSeptember 2016
Sue was an incredible host--easy to communicate with and very helpful--and her home is gorgeous. The room I rented was just as described and the bed was incredibly comfortable. The bathroom was clean and spacious, and the shower had great water pressure! I would absolutely stay with Sue again, as well as recommend her to all my of friends!MaurenApril 2016
This is a wonderful place to stay. Quiet, convenient, and affordable. Sue is super nice and accommodating. Would definitely stay here again.ScottOctober 2015
Sue was fabulous host, very welcoming and easy going. We loved the outdoor space, and relaxing living room. Guest bedrooms were well stocked with amenities and very clean. We shared the bathroom with another couple however we did not even see them. Sharing was never an issue. Breakfast was included and was wonderful! Who doesn't love to wake up to hot coffee and a light breakfast! Walking distance to the city center of Keene. I would strongly recommend Sue's location. Enjoy! Heather & KevinKevinSeptember 2015

Loin des spots touristiques, Keene est une petite ville très agréable (bon restos, boutiques très sympa et originales) au cœur de la Nouvelle Angleterre authentique et rurale : parc, trails et lacs du Monadnock, merveilleux petits villages du Vermont voisin - et Boston n'est qu'à 2H (ça se fait en AR dans la journée, sans problème). Quant à la maison, c'est un petit bijou (un GRAND bijou, car il y a beaucoup d'espace !) et on sent qu'il fait bon y vivre. Sue n'était pas là, mais ses voisins (Terry, Thomas, très chaleureux) ont pris le relais pour l'accueil et les conseils de balade Et notre chambre est aussi bien que sur la photo : bref, on était comme des rois ! A une prochaine fois chez Sue : l'été indien à Keene, ça doit être quelque chose !PierreSeptember 2015
I had a lovely AirBnb experience. The hosts are welcoming and the house is lovely. I was able to use the kitchen comfortably, which is important to me. The hosts were interesting and had some good information about Keene. I highly recommend this Airbnb.LauraJanuary 2016
I loved my stay at Sue's! the room was cozy, quiet, and very roomy. Comfortable bed! Sue was very easy to get in touch with and offers a very accessible rate for students like myself!BeccaOctober 2016

Easy to communicate, very cosy place, nice hosts, good experience.HamedFebruary 2016
I loved my stay with Martbeth! My boyfriend and I had last minute plans to hike Mount Monadnock and decided to try AirBnB for the first time. Marybeth was our first choice and we are very glad she accepted our request. Our commutation before our stay was perfect and kind. She gave us her suggestion of which trail to try out, pumpelly, great trail! (Thank you for the suggestion.) The room she had was very cozy and perfect for our needs. The room was very clean and she had towels, a snack and a few other amenities. (We loved the private entrance.) Plus, we were able to control the heat in the room. We were unfortunately unable to meet but she was very hospitable with our needs! For dinner, we also took her recommendation. The vibe was interesting and we had a delicious meal, plus had great service! The next morning she let us know there were glutten-free scones and coffee available. And oh-my! those glutten-free stones were to die for! Very delicious, I almost couldn't help myself from eating them all! Also, her cat was very wonderful and friendly! I hope we can stay with you again, and actually get to meet you!JasmineNovember 2015
I was going skiing in the crotched mountain and Marybeth accepted my request a couple of hours before i arrive. Marybeth is friendly and easy-going, she was so accomodating. The room itself is very nice and cozy, it has a separate enterance which is great! Also everything is provided as towels, shampoos, and coffee! Marybeth also has a list of recommended breakfast places and restaurants, the breakfast place was awesome! I'd definitely stay there again and i highly recommend it.AlyJanuary 2016
Our stay with Marybeth was fabulous and we highly recommend her accommodations to all. We stayed in a private room that had been a porch converted to a room and slightly detached from the main house with a nice queen size bed that was very comfortable, an armchair and desk and great heater, since it was in October and beginning to get colder. Very cozy, country style. We had use of half a bathroom, the upstairs shower and the kitchen on the main floor. Marybeth welcomed us into her house and made us feel right at home. She teaches music and gives singing lessons during the week, lovely to hear the piano and trilling voices. Her house is on the main street in Peterborough and was the perfect location from which to get to downtown or out of town. We made friends with Marybeth and hope to visit with her in the near future.DavidOctober 2015
Marybeth was awesome! One of my favorite Airbnb hosts! She was so welcoming and enjoyable to talk to. The room was absolutely wonderful! It is on the third floor (Stairs were a bit steep, but not too many.) and the bathroom was on the second. It is a converted attic. I had plenty of room to spread out and even had an area to work on an art project. The bed was very comfortable. The cat was very friendly. Of course, this is wonderful Peterborough, NH and the parks, museums, shops and eateries are a short walk away.FrancieJune 2016

Marybeth is a great host. She is friendly and easy going. Room was cozy and clean and she made me feel very welcome. Thanks Marybeth!ChristophAugust 2015
Marybeth is a GREAT host. She was in touch with me from the time I made the reservation to the day my husband and I left Peterborough. Unfortunately, I didn't have the chance to meet her in person as we were in and out a lot, but she made our stay so easy it didn't even matter. She send detailed information about our arrival, communicated throughout the weekend and even made recommendations on places to eat and live music to see. The house is beautiful, bright, clean, and not a 5 minute walk from all of the shops, cafés and restaurants in little Peterborough. It's also a very short drive from a great hike we did on Saturday (Wapack trail) and many other hiking trails. I would definitely stay there again, and hope to have the chance to do so!justineJune 2016

Sci fi/Fantasy image byDaniel Condaxis
My latest concept of Aylia. I altered her hairstyle and costume significantly, so tell me what you think. Yes, I know she looks like your stereotypical RPG heroine with the staff and all, but I'm a sucker for the classics. And in my vision of fantasy, women just say NO to chainmail bikinis. Women can be attractive without exposing 90%< of their body, after all.

Skip to comments.(Obamaville) 4 girls charged after U. of C. students robbed, pistol-whipped
Posted on 10/17/2012 5:50:38 PM PDT by markomalleyEdited on 10/17/2012 5:57:36 PM PDT by Admin Moderator. [history]
A judge set bail today at $100,000 each for three teen-age girls charged as adults with the armed robbery of two University of Chicago students this week near the South Side campus, authorities said.
A gun brandished by a fourth suspect, a 14-year-old girl facing juvenile charges, discharged while the girl was pistol-whipping a 28-year-old female student early Monday, but no one was shot, police said. The woman was accompanied by another student, a 22-year-old man.
(Excerpt) Read more at chicagotribune.com ...
Good grief!
Good grief!
Good grief!
Its not Good Grief. Its Obama's home town.
I give my baby a name make sure she never get a real job. Hmph.
Bears repeating, I guess...
What a relief, the victim was only pistol-whipped.
Good Grief! Oh, and was this a black on white crime. If so, ummm ....???
What were four Amish girls doing so far north?
Was it Shanaqua or Nikisha?
What do Amish have to do with this? I didn't read that in the story....
damn freakin' lutefisk addicts trying to score money for a fix
"three teen-age girls charged"
"The woman was accompanied by another student, a 22-year-old man."
Not much of a 22 year old man. This would end with either no robbery or literally over my dead body. I will not be robbed by three teenage girls, whether they are armed or not.
Even more absurd, if yer whitey mind can imagine it . . see #6
c'mon, Darwin !
Chicago, Chicago - It's a toddling town!
Oe day it will be Obamahadrea.
I went to college there back in the '80s, and the 5600 block of Blackstone was fine back then.
Basically, I determined the boundaries were (making adjustments for sex and time of day),:
West: Cottage Grove
North: Girls 51st Street/Boys 47th Street
South: 61st Street
East: Laske Michigan (of course)
My walking route to campus took me from the Shoreland (5454 S. Shore Drive, close to the lake), to the campus at 57th and Ellis. I took various routes, and Blackstone was a safe grad student heavy area.
What were four Amish girls doing so far north?
South Side must have been all mugged and murdered out
Kenyadrea Simpson
I give my baby a name make sure she never get a real job. Hmph.
That is a name that just reeks of Public Assistance
Didn't know Obama had 4 more daughters.
Well, at least two people got a quick education .... they probably learned not to travel to Chicago's South side without an armed escort or armed like a swat team member! In fact, if they were reasonably intelligent, they would have learned to stay away from Chicago and Norther Illinois if they valued their lives.
By a 14 year old girl named Kenyadrea...
Go figure.
This can't possibly be true. Everyone knows that guns are illegal in Chicago. /s
Please...every "normal" human in Chicago...please stay inside for a few days after voting on election day. Stay safe.
No job from you, at any rate. What's in a name?
A dorm-mate would take the steel leg off his desk and wrap the narrow end with tape for a grip, and then venture off campus with like-minded colleagues at night. I don't think he ever used it, though.
ps. Is Laske Michigan what the Polacks called it? ≤}B^)
What's in a pistol whipping?
How Chicagoans will get CC laws.
If you're looking for determinants of this behavior, I think her name is off the list.
And the 14 yo delinquent that pistol whipped the woman was charged as a juvenile exactly why?? A thug is a thug no matter of age, sex or race.
Michelle,Nataya, Kenyadrea. And what was the race of the victims?
"Kenyadrea Simpson
I give my baby a name make sure she never get a real job. Hmph."
Hey, she's obviously named after Saint Kenyadrea, the patron saint of 15 year old thugettes!
