What Memories Are Made Of

Aerial view of landscape surrounding the inn

Our location in New Hampshire’s White Mountains provides an extensive combination of activities ranging from outdoor recreation to attractions, both natural and man-made, to festivals and events, and shopping.

In winter, relax by the fire or get outside and enjoy trails ideal for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing. In summer, hike these same trails or enjoy our own 20 x 40 heated in-ground pool or open-air hot tub surrounded by some of the Inn’s award-winning gardens.
