Pleasant View Bed and Breakfast was built prior to 1832 by Edmund Brown, a local blacksmith. It was deeded to Reverend Amos Brown, son of Edmund Brown, and then passed down to his son, Silas Brown. In a deed dated from 1832, “with cleared land extending to the shores of pristine Newfound Lake”, located over 1 mile away, Pleasant View was one of the seven biggest 7 farms in New Hampshire. Although not a working farm anymore, and over time the land reduced to 9 ½ acres, the character of Pleasant View remains while keeping up with today.
Pleasant View has been in the business of putting up guests since the turn of the last century (1900 that is); when two men came over the mountain from Dartmouth and asked if they could stay the night.
From the early 1930’s to as recent as the late 1960’s, Pleasant View in addition to being a working farm, acted as a boarding house. Several people who were children when they stayed here in the 40’s and 50’s have come back to stay.
Since 1960 Peasant View has served as a boarding house and convalescent home until in 1989 when it became a bed and breakfast. Still in the business of “putting up guests”, Pleasant View continues a long tradition to make your stay welcoming and warm.
Fulfilling a dream in May of 2004, Pleasant View was purchased by Heidi with the intention of bringing her back to her full grandeur. Today finds the farmer’s porch back on the Inn as well as many renovations ever keeping in mind the history of this grand old structure. The inn has 6 bedrooms, each with a private bath. A pool, hot tub, and even a 24 seat brewpub is adjacent to the inn. The inn is adult-friendly (no one under the age of 18 is accommodated) and the grounds are smoke free.
So, come check us out – you might be surpised!
