All guests staying on property at Dorset Inn or Barrows House are welcomed & encouraged to enjoy the salt water pool and tennis courts if it's a sunny day! Drinks and poolside lunch are available to order.
If you want to explore outside of Dorset, we recommend a 10 minute drive to Manchester's Main Street. The Northshire bookstore and Made For the Mountains are some of our favorite shops.
The Hildene Estate is the historic estate of Robert Todd Lincoln, the only child of President Abraham Lincoln to survive into adulthood. Constructed in 1905, this Georgian Revival mansion served as the Lincoln family's summer residence and offers a rich glimpse into American history. Fun fact: this attraction originally drew Mike & Emily to the area. The formal gardens will transport you to a foreign land, and it holds one of only three known authentic top hats belonging to President Lincoln! Be sure to ask the front desk for discounted tickets.
