Nestlenook Farm

66 Dinsmore Rd · Jackson, NH

Why you should go…

Nestlenook Farm is a 65-acre Victorian-era estate in Jackson, New Hampshire, known for its horse-drawn sleigh rides. Custom Austrian group sleighs and a private one-horse sleigh travel a 1.5-mile lit trail through the forest and along the Ellis River, with guides stopping to share the property's history. The farm also offers ice skating on its pond and bonfires with hot chocolate after rides.
