Nereledge
Inn This small, 1787, traditional B&B with views of Cathedral Ledge
offers charm, hospitality and relaxation. Daydream in a rocking chair
on the front porch, relax by the fire or enjoy a game of darts or backgammon...a
friendly, informal atmosphere awaits you. Their country breakfast includes
warm apple crumble w/ice cream. The inn is close to hiking, biking,
rock and ice climbing as well as skiing. Walk to the village for dining,
theater and shopping or to the Saco River for swimming, fishing and
canoeing.
Cranmore
Mountain Lodge, an historic New England Country Inn, is the perfect
place to unwind. Open year round, their atmosphere is homey and their
accommodations and reasonable rates are ideal for families and groups.
The main building is an Old New England farmhouse with a cozy fireplace
sitting room and baby grand piano, a TV and gameroom and a variety of
comfortable guest rooms as well as a year round heated pool. Their pleasant
dining room features fine home-cooked meals. The loft area of the barn
has been renovated to include modernized rooms with private bath, air-conditioning
and cable color TV. This barn also includes a casual four room dorm
/ hostel and a fireplace Recreation Room. It is designed to accommodate
large groups in bunk-style rooms, but it's also an inexpensive alternative
for individuals. Special Group Package Plans are available during all
seasons.
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!
Situated
on seventeen secluded acres of field and forests, two miles from the
village of North Conway, The
Buttonwood Inn on Mt. Surprise offers a peaceful, rural setting
and the convenience of being close to everything. An 1820s farmhouse,
the inn retains its country atmosphere with wide pine floors, Shaker
furniture, antiques, quilts, and period stenciling. When you return
to the inn after the day's activities, take a swim, walk the grounds
and enjoy the gardens, or sit in an Adirondack chair and doze. In the
cooler months have your afternoon tea and sweets in front of the fire
in the Mt. Surprise Room. At different times throughout the year, the
inn offers Special Packages and Events. No matter what season you visit,
the range of activities and sight seeing is extensive.
Hostelling
International This Hostel, located in the heart of the Mount Washington
Valley, is equipped with dormitory style facilities with 4-6 beds in
each room. It also offers some private family rooms that can accommodate
up to two adults and two kids. A complimentary breakfast of coffee,
