Begin your journey with a private guided tour through the Beacon Hill, Downtown and North End neighborhoods.

THE KENNEBUNKS
Days 3–5: White Barn Inn (or) Hidden Pond
Enjoy exploration of the Kennebunks, which encompasses Kennebunk, Kennebunkport, Cape Porpoise and Goose Rocks Beach. Stroll through the charming shops and galleries in Dock Square, Kennebunkport, and take a tranquil walk along the oceanfront towards the Bush family estate at Walker’s Point, passing St. Ann’s Church on the way. Drive north along the coast to a quaint lobster-fishing village, where you can savor a relaxed lunch at one of the local lobster huts or clam shacks.
In the afternoon, pick up a bottle of wine and embark on a private boat trip along the Kennebunk River, observing as the crew hauls in their traps. For a more adventurous experience, consider kayaking through the picturesque Cape Porpoise Harbor, dotted with its many islands.
NEW HAMPSHIRE’S WHITE MOUNTAINS
Days 5–7: Mount Washington Resort
Venture inland today, following scenic back roads to the breathtaking White Mountains, the highest range in the Northeast. Make a brief detour through Western Maine, taking in its charming small towns before reaching the majestic Mount Washington Resort.
Spend a day exploring the White Mountains. Drive along the dramatic Kancamagus Highway, a renowned New England road trip that guides you through the heart of the mountains. Your Journey Guide will point out spectacular viewpoints and hidden waterfalls. For unparalleled views, take the cog railway or scenic auto road to the summit of Mt. Washington.
VERMONT’S GREEN MOUNTAINS
Days 7–9: Twin Farms
This morning, embark on a leisurely drive through Vermont’s remote Northeast Kingdom, known for its rolling hills and unspoiled beauty. Your private guide will lead you to maple syrup farms, local cheese makers, and charming Vermont villages with their iconic white-steepled churches and picturesque covered bridges. Conclude your day in a luxurious cottage at Twin Farms, nestled in 300 acres of pristine Vermont countryside.
To conclude your journey, choose your own path: paddle a canoe across our own nine-acre pond, stroll through the garden, or find privacy and healing in the Sou Sugia Ban House with 104°F salt water and views of the forest. Learn about the heritage of Twin Farms — and spot works by such artists as Milton Avery, Jasper Johns, William Bailey, and David Bates — while exploring the nooks and crannies of the ca. 1795 Main House.
