Since 1786 our quaint little red cottage has graced the hills of southern New Hampshire, seemingly untouched by time. The enchanting cottage was chosen by Elizabeth Orton Jones as the model for her illustrations in Little Red Riding Hood (Little Golden Books, 1948). Today it is a mecca for gardeners, foodies and anyone looking for inspiration and relaxation.
You will still find our hilltop hideaway at the end of the winding dirt road. Lighten your spirit as you step out of your world and into ours. Welcome to Pickity Place.
We take dining reservations by phone. We do not take reservations online nor by email.

Wow.. JUST WOW!! Honestly the best food I have ever had! So fresh and the flavors are remarkable. The atmosphere of the whole establishment is just unbeatable and like no other. I can’t rave enough about this place. Each meal I have had here has been so well put together and just want to say THANK YOU to the amazing chefs. I also have to say Amanda is such a great server! We have had her the last two times and she is the sweetest! Very pleasant and attentive. All the staff is great and welcoming. The Strawberry basil lemonade is to die for!!! Can’t say enough on how great our experiences were at Pickity place 🙂 Will be back every month!!!

What a magical place! Beautiful gardens, fabulous lunch menu utilizing the many fresh herbs grown here and interesting gift shop with unusual items and plants. The set menu changes each month and uses the lovely flavors of the season. Prepared delightfully, presented with flair in the little house that was the inspiration for “grandma’s house” in one authors edition of the Little Red Riding Hood story. Reservations are necessary for one of the 3 seatings. You won’t be disappointed!

This place is a real gem. I watched one of the prep cooks harvesting herbs to use in the meal. The food is amazing! The staff is quite nice.

This is a unique and great spot for lunch! A vegetarian and meat option for entrée. Great gift shops to check out while you wait for “the bell.”

I love Pickety Place. The food is consistently wonderful. I’ve been 3 times, and I am never disappointed. The staff is wonderful, and very welcoming. You can tell they love working there. I live about an hour away, but it is definitely worth the drive over the river and through the woods to eat at grandmother’s house.

Pickity Place is an experience and a truly wonderful one. Reservations are highly recommended. Absolutely amazing food and very friendly staff. Love the gift shop with something for everyone! Beautiful gardens throughout the property. If you’re a ‘foodie’ you will really enjoy this gem.

Pickety Place is a really special dining experience. Not only is the location beautiful (it truly is out of a storybook), but the food is wonderfully crafted with the utmost care. The variety of fruited lemonade and teas are pure delight on a summer afternoon. The bread for June with the lemon butter was phenomenal! We had such a nice lunch. Even my youngest, 11, who ordered “grandmother’s basket,” which contained a sandwich, said the offering was tasty. He is a picky eater and ate his food and part of the adult entrées, stating, “I didn’t realize the pork would be this tender and delicious.

Absolutely quintessential new England vibe with fantastic food. Not allergen friendly but considerate and will ask if you have a concern. Cute gift shops too and loved the gardens. They also support local artists and businesses. Real cute!
