Spring brings fishing, kayaking on quiet ponds, maple sugaring, birding on back roads, and hiking amid the beauty of lilac and apple blossoms. Summer, experience biking, golfing and berry picking with ice cream socials, concerts in the park, theatre, country fairs and country dances. Autumn's fall foliage inspires the harvest festivals, covered bridge scenic drives, apple picking, and church suppers. Winter, perfect for auctions, antiquing, skiing, holiday and craft shopping, and horse-drawn sleigh rides.

At Apple Gate Bed and Breakfast, guests can relax in a setting of country elegance and a warm, friendly atmosphere. Four guest rooms, each with private bath, are individually decorated and lovingly appointed with country appeal. Wireless Internet access is available throughout the bed and breakfast as well as satellite T.V. in the music/reading room.

Delight in a leisurely, hearthside, full, candlelit breakfast. With the name Apple Gate, you can be sure an apple will be part of your bed and breakfast experience. . . perhaps in the daily home-baked muffins or sautéed with waffles or maybe served baked, as the fresh fruit for the morning.

The guest parlor is the perfect place to sit and plan the day's adventures. Perhaps visit Cathedral of the Pines, climb Mt. Monadnock, enjoy a gourmet herbal luncheon at Pickity Place, shop at Peterboro Basket Company, see a play at Peterborough Players, attend a Monadnock Music or Peterborough Folk Music concert.

There are so many activities and things to do! Or maybe you would prefer to take a stroll along the orchard country road, sit a spell on the wraparound porch, read a book in the secret garden, or simly relax in the hammock surrounded by unspoiled woodland. A wonderful retreat!
