 Peter and Kristin Orr are not your ordinary, everyday farmers. They are people possessed of seemingly boundless energy, superb creativity and clever providers of an agritourism experience matched by few other such attractions. Using a botanical term, this is a very "variegated" farm with a great deal to do, see and learn; emphasis on "learn."

| NEW ENGLAND TIMESHARE |
| We can thank the glaciers that retreated centuries ago for the majestic mountain ranges and superlative coastline that New England enjoys today. Vermont's Green Mountains, New Hampshire's White Mountains and Massachusetts' Berkshires were all left behind by moving ice sheets. We can thank them also for creating Maine's unique coastline as well as Martha's Vineyard and Cape Cod. The geography is only one of many special traits exclusive to New England. The rich history has been preserved and crafted into distinctive culture. These characteristics are popular attractions for visitors. Beautiful architecture including old-style Timeshares combine well maintained accommodations with traditional New England design. A Timeshare is a perfect opportunity for vacationers to procure lodging in close proximity to all the places of interest. Many people traveling to New England find owners who sell timeshare to ensure a quality place to stay. |
FOUR EASY STEPS TO PLANNING YOUR GETAWAY OR VACATION
As you may have noticed if you've been here before, the site has been re-designed to accommodate more material so you can make the right decision about where to go, stay, eat and play. We're employing a phased in approach, so as soon as we get a section of the site done, up it goes. We're working our hardest to get everything updated as soon as is possible.
Our Where to Stay or New England Lodging Section is up. We offer several ways of finding the best place to stay. If a B&B inn strikes your fancy, you can see the growing number of inns on NewEnglandTimes.Com or on the B&B page in each of the State Sections. If you'd like to do some camping, you can find camprounds here and on the state pages, and the same goes with Resorts and Spas and we have a Real Estate Section where you can find a broker or property in which you might be interested. You can rent a house for a week or buy one as a vacation home. In addition, you'll find that we've added some speialty combinations, especially on the state pages where, for instance, you might find an Alpaca Keep that doubles as a B&B inn. Our goal is to provide as much diversity as we possibly can. New England does offers something for everyone, so we're doing our best to help you find what is best for you.
In fact in the story just below this, we help make the process of selecting the best accommodation for you and your family in the story about What's the Best Place to Stay for your New England vacation.
At NewEnglandTimes.Com, we believe that you deserve the very best New England getaway or New England vacation the region has to offer.

(Continued here.)
CHOOSING THE BEST TYPE OF PLACE TO STAY FOR YOUR NEW ENGLAND GETAWAY
Many people looking for a great place to stay for their New England getaways often begin their searches based on what a buddy recommended. "We went to The Sleep Well B&B, and man, it was fantastic." He or she may well be right. That's what they think is it great, but is it the right type of place for you? That's right, the right type of place?
Everybody has different tastes and things or conditions that make them happy. While a B&B may be ideal for a romantic New England getaway, it may not be for the "nuclear family,"Mom, Dad, 2.3 children and Bubba, your Chihuahua. A hotel, motel, large inn, camp ground or rented house may be far more suitable and compliant with your budget. Given today's gas prices, most of your budget will go to that (see story below).
I'm not saying there aren't B&B Inns out there who have no objections to kids and the dog, but the majority don't and some have stringent rules. One B&B inn in Vermont insists that guests not sit on the bed. Since most people sit before they lie down, I guess at this inn, you have to dive into bed. But you need to take into consideration not just where you want to go, what amenities (besides the chocolate on the pillow are available and what points of interest might be nearby).
It takes some research to make your decision. To read more about how to select the right place to stay, check out What's the Best Place to Stay for you and your faimly? You may be pleasntly surprised at how little it can cost depending on what's perfect for you.

Make Sure to Check the Weather Before you Come.
Mother Nature is a caprious old gal. If you don't like the weather, wait a while. That's the saying in the northern most New England states where the weather changes can be abrupt and tough to drive through, although the folks who clear the roads up here in winter do a smashing job.
