Conference Facilities

Conference planners will find Green Acre Bahá'í School and Conference Center the ideal retreat for groups of 15 to 100. Green Acre facilities feature a recently restored Victorian Inn. Baths are private and semi-private. The Inn has 21 bed-and-breakfast-style rooms which accommodate 45 people.  Two other restored, turn-of-the-century cottages also provide meeting space and housing for smaller groups or additional space for large groups. Meals are served in the Inn, which overlooks the Piscataqua River.

Green Acre is a non-alcoholic facility. Smoking is permitted in designated areas only outside of the buildings. Single men and women are accommodated by gender in rooms with two or three twin beds.    

You can find us on Route 103 in Eliot, Maine, approximately three miles from US I-95. Green Acre is located five miles from historic Portsmouth, New Hampshire, which abounds with shops and restaurants. Nearby are colonial Strawbery Banke, John Paul Jones House, outlet shopping, harbor cruise ships, York beaches, art galleries, and theatres. Eliot, Maine is one hour from Boston, Manchester and Portland airports.

For more than a century, Green Acre has provided thousands with the opportunity for study, reflection, and rest in a most peaceful atmosphere. It is our privilege to offer all who visit this peaceful setting, its beautiful New-England-style buildings, comfortable accommodations, nutritious meals and warm hospitality – all of which encourage the most fruitful outcome for every gathering.
