During our White Mountains family vacation last weekend, we wanted to stay at a hotel that was close to the White Mountains attractions, with lots of family-friendly amenities.  We ended up at the Mountain Club at Loon Mountain, a four-season resort located in Lincoln, New Hampshire. We had a suite at the Mountain Club, which [...]

My kids love rides, characters, and shows, so it makes sense that they’d absolutely love Story Land in Glen, New Hampshire.  While it isn’t nearly as large as the Magic Kingdom, it’s still loads of fun. Story Land is about a 3 1/2 ride from Boston, MA, or about an hour from where we were [...]

This past Memorial Day weekend, we packed up our Toyota Prius and headed out to the White Mountains of New Hampshire, about a 2 1/2 hour drive from our home west of Boston.  I’ll have full reviews on our resort – the Mountain Club on Loon, as well as Story Land, later this week. We [...]

Earlier this year, the Red Jacket Resorts invited my family to visit the resort of our choice for a weekend getaway.  I’ve been wanting to check out Kahuna Laguna, the largest indoor water park in New Hampshire (which is located in the Red Jacket Mountain View, and only open to resort guests), so we chose [...]

New Hampshire is just a quick drive from our home west of Boston, and so it’s really the perfect long-weekend getaway.  This past weekend, we decided to take my daughter out of school on Friday to take a trip up there before the summer season really hit. On the first night, we stayed at the [...]

  My daughter is a 6-year old adrenaline junkie, so on our trip to the White Mountains this year, I just knew that we had to include a stop at Attitash Mountain Resort.  Attitash is a popular ski resort, but in the summer it turns into an adventure park for the whole family. It had [...]

Last month, my husband and I attended the Inn to Inn Cookie Tour, as guests of the Country Inns of the White Mountains.  While we’d spent lots of time up in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, we generally stayed in rental houses or hotels – I’d never stayed in a bed and breakfast.  So, [...]

I have the opportunity to stay at many hotels, and some of my favorites are those that epitomize all-fashioned nostalgia.  The luxurious Mountain View Grand, in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, is a resort that feels like a throwback to better days. The Mountain View Grand is the only NH resort to receive the [...]
