New Hampshire Fall Getaways (Late Summer)

A true Romantic Getaway, the Snowvillage Inn is tucked away on the slopes of Foss Mountain near Eaton and has beautiful views of the Presidential Mountain Range. The bed and breakfast is two and a half hours from Boston by car, and less than two hours’ drive from Manchester. The Main Inn was originally built in 1902 and has five rustic-yet-modern guest rooms that present the best mountain views on the property. The newer Chimney House building has four additional queen-size rooms. The recently renovated Carriage House is an old barn with eight charming rooms and a cozy gathering space..

The inn serves a tasty homemade breakfast each morning, and Max’s Restaurant and Pub is the ideal spot to enjoy a delightful dinner prepared by an award-winning chef. The Thursday-night “Oyster Orgy” is a can’t-miss!

Pet-Friendly Getaway: Just north of Mt. Washington, the luxurious Glen House Hotel just outside of Gorham provides subtle contemporary elegance while celebrating the inn’s historic past. Guests can explore the region on a guide tour or visit nearby Auto Road, Great Glens Trails Outdoor Center, Red Barn Museum or the Mount Washington Observatory. There’s also plenty of hiking, rock climbing, mountain biking, zip lining, golf, shopping, bird watching and leafing in the area.  

The pet-friendly and eco-conscious resort has spacious and functional king, queen or standard rooms with panoramic views of Mt. Washington. The rooms are contemporary in design and have all of today’s modern amenities. The Notch Grille at the hotel serves up tasty North Country comfort foods and its own private label vodka made at a local distillery.

The comfortable, warm and relaxing hotel has an Old-World charm with a New England Colonial décor that harkens back to a traditional country inn of days gone by.

Family Friendly Getaway: The incomparable Mountain View Grand Resort and Spa is an elegant getaway to the northwest of Mt. Washington just outside of Whitefield. The 141-room, Civil War-era resort is surrounded by more than 50 mountain peaks in the stately White Mountains. Charming and contemporary, the historic hotel is also a working farm with alpacas, goats, sheep, chickens, rabbits and more. The resort’s popular Camp Yellow Llama is a hit with kids who yearn for a taste of the country life.

The hotel has an award-winning spa, tennis, indoor and outdoor pools, and charming rural touches like evening campfires, Bocce ball and axe throwing. The adjacent 18-hole golf course has been challenging golfers’ mettle since 1900. For dining, the on-site Harvest Tavern features pub fare with a relaxed atmosphere while the 1865 Wine Cellar offers intimate dining and a hearty wine list.

Fall Getaway with a Brew! The Woodstock Inn Brewery, just an hour north of Concord in North Woodstock, is one of the state’s most visited country inns. Sleek, entertaining and accessible, the stylish 40-room resort is a working brewery that has been cranking out suds to thirsty adults for more than two decades. The resort offers intimate tours and four epic pubs where you can belly up to the bar to sample a flight of craft awesomeness or grub on a juicy burger, hand-crafted sandwich or fresh-made fish ‘n chips with locally sourced New England haddock.

Country-inspired rooms at the brewery feature rich, knotty wood and an unfussy pastoral color palate with simple patterns and a soft ambiance. All lodging options at the inn include modern conveniences like free Wi-Fi, cable TV, air conditioning, gas fireplaces, jetted tubs, and complimentary access to a nearby indoor pool and a health club.

B&B Getaway: The delightful Cranmore Inn Bed and Breakfast in North Conway is an easy access point for all of the village shops, theaters, restaurants, golf courses and other attractions near lively North Conway Village. The intimate 17-room inn has cozy guest rooms and two apartments available with gorgeous views of the surrounding White Mountains.

Unique Getaway: Situated on 33 secluded acres just outside of North Conway, Stonehurst Manor was originally the summer estate of a carpet baron. The New England landmark inn is secluded, serene and sophisticated. The elegant, turn-of-the-century Victorian mansion has been fully equipped for 21st Century visitors while still retaining most of its original English oak woodwork, elaborate fireplace and window accents, beamed ceilings and decorative carvings. Each of the resort's 26 guest rooms in the Manor have their own individual allure, and well-planned condominiums provide additional lodging options in the surrounding pine groves.
