Review Stepping Stones Bed & Breakfast, Wilton, NH

Photo Album

Enjoy the morning light and view of the front garden and barn from this Queen Double. Decorated in soft peach and fern green, this room has a generous reading and writing area, private bath, and air conditioning in summer. Explore the extensive gardens. In April sweeps of crocuses, scilla and early bulbs blanket the ground. By late May banks of daffodils & tulips, pansies & roses, slow passers-by to an admiring crawl. Fall showcases many late flowers, berry-filled shrubs and brilliant foliage.
The favorite activity of many guests is to just relax. After breakfast, you can read in the sun in the garden, stroll adjacent dirt roads with your dog, find the local waterfall and reservoir, enjoy a glass of wine with a picnic or watching the sunset.
