About The QuidThe house was built with wood from an old tobacco barn that was torn down and then used for the interior of the living room. Today we call it recycling--in 1928 it was called using what was available and inexpensive! How times have changed. The property has been in my family for 80 years, consequently The Quid enjoys wonderful privacy and truly pristine surrounding woodlands and grounds. Originally built as a summer home, it has been winterized, added onto and expanded in typical New England fashion.
The Quid affords lovely views and interesting landscaping, with many stone walls, terraces and seasonal flower beds. In May and early June the wildflowers are a wonder--there are even yellow lady slippers. I'm very proud of those. Guests are invited to wander and explore, or sit on the deck and bird watch. Thanks to diligent filling of feeders, guests might see anything from the common chickadee to a red-bellied woodpecker, rose-breasted grosbeak, hummingbirds, or even my resident red-tailed hawk. Have a glass of wine, or homemade mint iced tea while viewing these avian visitors. Can you tell that Nature is a big part of life here at The Quid?
