(now I-495 but it doesn’t say that right away) – 23 miles.

 

At exit 12, bear left after the toll booth onto US 202 connector – sign says: 

 "US-202 / ME-4/ME-100 to Farmington / Rumford / Rangeley / Mechanic Falls"

 

Turn left on ME-4 and take it approx. 25 miles

 

Turn left onto SR-108  - 11.1 miles passing through Canton (don’t blink) to E. Peru.

 

Turn Left onto Greenwoods Road (the street sign says Green Woods Road) and
there is a sign that says Worthley Pond on the right side of 108.

 

A little way in, the road forks. Bear left onto Shore Road (aka “Worthley Pond Road”).
 

You will cross a little bridge and pass a general store on your left – the pond will be on your right. The farm is about ¼ mile beyond the store on the right between the road and the pond.  There is a large barn on the left end of the house with a sign that says you’ve arrived.

PINESTEAD LODGE, FRANCONIA NH 

Ski House in Central New Hampshire

General Information:

This is a weekend of winter fun for families. Our lodging is the comfortable but simply-furnished Pinestead Farm Lodge on Route 116 in Franconia NH.  The farm is ten minutes from down-hill skiing at Cannon Mountain and has direct access to the Franconia Inn’s network of cross-country ski trails.  The Franconia Inn (1 mile away) also offers a sledding hill, ice-skating on a small farm pond, (a special tradition with a bonfire and hot cocoa, of course.) They provide ski/skate rentals.  

Accommodations:The lodge has “suites” of rooms each of which has a shared bath.  All but one of the bedrooms have a double and a single bed.  We will do communal cooking and eating in one unit.  We will set up room assignments at the last minute when we’re absolutely sure who’s going.

Directions from the Boston Area (about 2 1/2 hours)

Take I-93 North, thru Franconia Notch to exit 38 (Franconia/Sugar Hill).  Turn left off exit crossing under the highway. Follow Rte. 116S, about 4 miles (past the Franconia Inn) to the Farm which will be on your left.
