Visitors are always welcome at Alyson’s – We’re happy to take a break from our chores to answer your questions, and to send you on a walking tour of the orchard. For an extended visit to the area, stay at our beautiful Rochambeau Lodge or the East and West Wings of the Foster Farmhouse. Our comfortable lodging is available year around for one party groups such as family gatherings, weddings, summer vacations, and hunting parties. Alyson’s Orchard is the perfect autumn vacation spot for apple pickers, foliage seekers and nature lovers. We have a fenced play area for the children, plus horseshoe pits and a bocce court, as well as boating, swimming and fishing (no license required) for our lodging guests.

NOTE: If you wish to map directions from your home to ours using Google Maps online or in a GPS, use 57 Alyson’s Lane, Walpole, NH 03608. Sometimes in older GPS models, 57 Alyson’s Lane gets rejected. In that case, try 615 Wentworth Road and you should arrive at our back entrance.
VERY IMPORTANT: When driving here from the South, if your GPS wants to take you off of Rt. 12 North and on to Old Wentworth Road, DO NOT DO IT! (If you take that turn you will end up on a dirt road where a bridge is closed and will have to turn around.) Stay on Route 12 North and you will come to Alyson’s entrance on the right, in less than 3 miles from that point.
