commercial version, so not sure the cost will compare to Casacasa.org, but worth looking into.

(Also search agritourism) I really enjoy personal interaction with hosts and some of my best farm stays have been in New Eng. Went back to a farm this yr, and they had our pic on their fridge from 20 yrs ago!! (helping in the barnyard). One dairy family was boarding horses for a dude ranch, so we rode pastures and forest everyday. Our kids loved that... and got along great with farmer kids and were able to fetch and bridle their choice of steeds.
I plan to have a 10-day trip to New England in late August (probably Aug 15 to Aug 25), and I will fly to Boston to get started. Boston is the only city that I want to explore a little bit, because I prefer outdoor activities. Maine and New Hampshire are high on my list, whereas CT, MA and RI seem to be too urban.
I've done some research and I have a rough idea of what great things New England can offer, such as white mountains in NH, lobsters and Arcadia National Park in ME.
However, any suggestions for a solo traveler? I feel that most vistors are in group.
Thanks!
Calling RI urban is an oxymoron. RI is 75% forest. While called the ocean state, it has many miles of coastline on the Narragansett Bay. There are several tourist boats that cruise Narragansett Bay, one of them from Rocky Point in Warwick and the other from somewhere on the east Bay - Blount Marine, if memory serves, is the line.
Then there are the woods of Glocester County and Burrillville in the northwest and the lakes and forest (great for kayaking and hiking) in western South County - there's a state park right off route 3.
Or take a whale watching voyage from the New England Aquarium in Boston. Don't know if August is the best month for seal or whale watching though.
