About Bellfield Farm
Bellfield Farm is the former Carrington family farm, established circa 1921 and situated on 50 acres of forest, fields, and barnyard views. The Farmhouse itself is fully renovated and modernized, and features beautiful antiques, quilts and artwork in a traditional setting.
The three bedrooms–two upstairs and one downstairs–have plenty of privacy and elegant home-style touches. A separate efficiency apartment is fully self-contained, with its own private entrance. You can rent bedrooms singly or in any combination, or rent the farmhouse as a unit (excluding the efficiency apartment).
Shared spaces include a fully equipped country-style kitchen, formal dining room, living room and family room furnished with period antiques.
Check out Accommodations for detailed information about each of the bedrooms and the shared spaces.
