Outdoor Adventures: There are a number of local, low exertion hikes that are highly rewarding, including: Mount Black; Cathedral Ledge State Park; Mount Willard; The Albany Covered Bridge, Diana's Baths, and the Madison Boulder.
If you are looking for more adventurous hikes, there are too many to list. Hike all the way up to the top of Mount Washington from Tuckerman Ravine or the Ammanoosuc Ravine, or start from Crawford Notch for some really steep hikes.
Visit the Saco River Ranger Station at the beginning of the Kancamagus Highway (on Route 112) for other ideas on local hikes.
Dining In or Eating Out: During the evening, you can use use the fully equipped kitchen to prepare a fine meal at home. Or, visit any of the local restaurants in the Mount Washington Valley. The Chamber of Commerce in North Conway will provide numerous pamphlets on fine dining in the valley. Two of our favorites is the Moat Mountain Brew Pub, for great barbecue or Mae Kelley's for great Irish fare.
Just outside of Eidelweiss Village is Community Market & Deli, great for pizzas and quick bites.
We have a gas grill for your grilling pleasure. Our grill policy is that each guest cleans the grill at the start of their stay before using it. This ensures that the grill is up to your standards for your stay. Toss one on the barbie and enjoy dining outside in the screen room.
Winter Wonderland: There are a number of wonderful skiing and snowshoeing opportunities in the area. King Pine is less than 5 miles away for wonderful family downhill skiing. Or drive into North Conway for more challenging skiing at Mount Cranmore. Need more excitement, Attitash/Bear Peak is only a half hour drive away, or drive 45 minutes for the thrills of Bretton Woods.
The Pea Porridge ponds are a wonderful place to spend quiet moments on snowshoes or cross country skis. Take a moment and see if you can spot the fox or the mink on their daily rounds.
