Snow on its Way!

Originally uploaded by darbyfieldinn

It’s always nice to wake up to a sugar coating on the world…like today! I’m hoping we have a winter FULL of snow, since I will be back on the ski slopes this season…thank you, husband AND insurance! This should work out for our guests, too, as our old-fashioned sleigh rides are SO popular! FYI: our days and hours of operation have changed, so PLEASE call us to confirm your sleigh ride! Also, the cookie tour is going on next weekend; even if you come last minute, for one day, don’t miss this SUPER fun holiday event! AND don’t forget to bring your ziplock baggies if you do…hope to see you here!

Rainbow over Moat Mt.

This morning brought some awesome rainbows as the rain from yesterday was blown out of the valley by the wind. Everytime I looked out the window during breakfast the rainbow had moved, much to our guests’ delight! A wonderful addition to our already fantastic colors this fall! Leaf color is up to around 50 – 60%, so don’t delay; come up and join us at peak here at the Darby!

Chuck and Cyndi were married atop Mt. Washington this past Thursday. They spent 3 nights here at the Inn with us, exploring the area and taking a break from the “real” world. I will miss their smiling faces at breakfast and hope to see them again, soon! Oh, and thanks for the good weather, Chuck. We hope it holds for awhile!

Our View, Plus Icicles!Originally uploaded by darbyfieldinn.Unlike last year, we have tons of snow AND icicles. Sleigh rides have been keeping us busy so far; everyone wants to treat themselves to our romantic, private rides! No need to plan ahead…we offer a last minute special every week to help motivate you to come play with us. Bring your cross country skis or snowshoes and set a day aside to enjoy our groomed trails. If you forget, you can use ours for a small rental fee. Oh, and if you call and no one answers, leave a message…we’re out skiing!

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!

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!

Even when the sun isn’t shining there are some spectacular views here at the Darby Field Inn! This is a shot of South Moat Mountain with some clouds drifting by…Check out our photo gallery for more pictures of our grounds, guests, and views!
