A visit to The 1785 Inn in the Mount Washington Valley of New Hampshire is an experience you'll long remember. From the charm and beauty of its original colonial construction to the cheerful, welcoming atmosphere of its Victorian lounge, you'll enjoy the tradition of friendly Yankee hospitality in a classic New England country inn. The 1785 Inn is a wonderfully relaxing place to vacation at any time of year. Their central location puts you in the middle of a huge variety of things to do all year round... or just relax here at the Inn in front of the crackling fire or while away the summer's afternoon by their swimming pool overlooking the mountains. The "Scenic Vista" from their lawn is one of the most often photographed and painted views in the country!
