Property description
Our lovely 3-story white clapboard colonial style Country Inn includes: 29 beautifully appointed cozy guest rooms, 3 luxury suites, a living room, library, 2 dining rooms, a Ratheskeller Lounge, and 2 spacious verandas. And Oh what a view! Feast your eyes on the White Mountain landscape in all of its resplendent beauty!
Much more than a scenic winter ski resort, The Franconia Inn is an enchanting getaway for all seasons. In winter, spring, summer, and fall, you are sure to find plenty to please.
As the spring temperatures melt the winter snows, a marvelous transformation at our B&B takes place. Four striking red clay tennis courts and a large, sunny outdoor swimming pool emerge to once again invite eager tennis players and swimmers. Cross-country skis, boots, and poles give way to horses, saddles, and stirrups. Scenic bridle trails replace snow-packed ski trails, and our friendly ski instructor dons his equestrian hat as a skilled wrangler. Our ski shop reverts to the barn, and where heaping snow banks once towered, lovely gardens team with brilliant new life. Our snowy airfield with its lone windsock reasserts itself as a bustling grassy glider port, catering to first-time passengers and experienced pilots alike. Behind the Inn, the mighty river gushes with verve and vigor to add a splash of personality!
Situated on over 100 sprawling acres in Easton Valley, the Inn affords a breathtaking view of Mount Lafayette, Franconia Notch, and the Franconia and Kinsman Ranges of the White Mountains. Our prime New England locale provides easy accessibility to the small villages of Franconia, Sugar Hill, and Easton, as well as to the serene charm of the more quiet country life.
Tastefully appointed, the Inn's decor is comfortable, inviting, and elegant. Handsome fireplaces add a warm ambiance to our oak-paneled private library and spacious living room. Two dining rooms; one quaint and intimate, with its own fireplace, and the other airy and cheerful with a Bermuda ceiling, offer fantastic views of the White Mountains. Our front veranda faces east to greet magnificent sunrises over Cannon Mountain, while our back veranda faces west to catch the setting sun behind Sugar Hill.
The Inn's dining room is the evening centerpiece where casual elegance is enjoyed by all. Here, the stage is set for a delightful dining experience as guests gather around intimate candlelit tables and take in a spectacular view of the White Mountain landscape as seen through dozens of small-paned windows. The soothing and classical sounds of Mozart and Bach grace the air as does the exquisite aroma of gourmet at its finest. Our award-winning "Elegant American Cuisine" is sure to please even the most discriminating of palates!

There is nothing like a Summer spent in the White Mountains! Quaint, romantic, and just oozing with charm, the entire area is a plethora of natural beauty. May and June are fabulous months for hiking in the breathtaking north country. Comfortable cool New England temperatures and peaceful trails make for an exhilarating experience. Lovely Lady's Slipper orchids and Wood Sorrels will play at your feet along with edible fiddle heads and bunch berries. Experience the fresh clean New Hampshire mountain air that will invigorate your senses and rejuvenate your spirit. To trek in the White Mountains is to enjoy every step!
The roaring waterfalls of the Flume Gorge are a stunning sight to see! The birds chirp in the new season and as dusk descends, a chorus of eager peepers echo down the valley. And let's not forget the formidable snowcapped White Mountains that shed their snowy blankets to become a lush green hiker's paradise!
If biking is your pleasure, Franconia Notch has a great and safe bicycle path where you can leisurely discover many scenic sites. The famous Old Man of the Mountain, the Cannon Mountain Aerial Tramway, Profile Lake, the Basin, the Flume Gorge, and other wonderful hideaways are tucked here and there. Travel light, we have bicycles freely available for you.
July trumpets in the annual Blue Grass Festival; a jamboree guaranteed to make you want to get up and dance! Enjoy the yummy bib-wearing, claw-cracking lobster bakes, and just scores of fun for all ages! In August, enjoy the annual poetry festival when poets from near and far share their pearls of wisdom. Franconia was once home to the famed bard, Robert Frost, who was profoundly inspired by the splendor and grace of the White Mountains. It was here, a stone's throw away from the Inn, where the esteemed Mr. Frost composed his famous, 'The Road Not Taken.'
