Congratulations Steve and Jill!

Steve popped the question this weekend and Jill accepted, after waiting 5 years! He probably had to save up for the ring, which was absolutely gorgeous!! Since this was also her birthday weekend, I’d say she definintely had a memorable one. They werent able to take a sleigh ride, so we’ll look forward to seeing them again once we have enough snow!

I think this is such a sweet picture of Patrick and Megan, with the inn in the background. It was worth the wait to see these pictures…they have some GREAT ones! Thanks for sharing, ya’ll, and Happy Holidays!

Congratulations to Matt and Sara…they became engaged during their stay here this past weekend! It’s been said time and time again…the Darby Field is the perfect place for romance! Check out our specials, or let us build a package for your special getaway!

Josh and Candi McKerleyOriginally uploaded by darbyfieldinn.Congratulations to Candi and Josh. They came to stay with us two days on an elopement package and were lucky enough to have both rain and sunshine on their wedding day! After a quick ceremony on the patio, they had a small reception in the tavern and headed up to Mt. Washington for the afternoon. They are a wonderful, personable couple and we wish them the best of luck!

It’s Official…Spring is here!Originally uploaded by darbyfieldinn.We never thought it would be here so soon, but all the snow has melted and the flowers and seasonal birds are back! This is the perfect time to visit us for spring hiking and/or relaxing in the peace and quiet. Our dining room is now open Thursday through Sunday, which is another cause for celebration! Try an old-fashioned carriage ride before dinner for a romantic addition. Check out our specials for other great reasons to stay with us…we look forward to seeing you soon!

Is it Spring Yet?Originally uploaded by darbyfieldinn.

Here is an example of Spring in New Hampshire. We received several inches of snow, pushing us ever nearer to breaking our 100 year record. While it has been a GREAT winter, we are all ready to run barefoot through green grass! Maybe in a couple of months…in the meantime sleigh rides are still going strong and the snowshoeing and x-country skiing conditions are fantastic!
The inn will be closed for mud season from April 6 through 17. Hopefully when we return there will be a little less of the white stuff. We are running some Super Spring Specials during April and May, so don’t forget to check out our website from time to time…

This young couple escaped for a white mountain elopement here and we all had the best time! They are originally from Texas and wanted to be married in the snow so off we tromped (Vera in her dress) to the top of the hill! The view was perfect – we couldnt have asked for any better. We hope to see them again before they head back down to Texas…We all wish you two all the best!

Originally uploaded by darbyfieldinn.Sleigh rides are back! We sent out our first few this past weekend…conditions are good, and should only get better as we’re expecting more snow this weekend! Spike is as magnificent as I remember him, and was completely enjoying himself! Remember, you don’t have to stay at the Inn to enjoy this winter treat; we offer dinner and a sleigh ride packages for 2 – 4 people…see you soon!

The First Snow of WInter 2007

Wow! We asked for it, we got it…8 – 12 inches of the white stuff fell this Monday, making for a nice start to the winter season. We have started sleigh rides here at the Inn and we’re getting ready to bring out the snowshoes and cross country skis, too. This weekend is also the famous Christmas Cookie Tour , which involves a lot of fun AND sugar.

The New Mr. and Mrs. StansfieldOriginally uploaded by darbyfieldinn. Ronald Stansfield and Maggie Darden travelled here from Rhode Island to tie the knot on our back patio, with family and her daughter witnessing the ceremony. We got some great photos, and they enjoyed the Shackford Suite, one of our deluxe rooms, and dinner later that evening. We wish them the best of luck and hope to see them for future anniversaries!
