A completely reflective body of water produces awesome photos, even if the sky isn't blue. Autumn in Northern New England is a truly awesome time of year!

Located in the western valley of the Presidential Range of the White Mountains in northern New Hampshire sits this majestic old lady. Built in 1865 the sweeping panoramic views of Mount Adams in the north to Mount Washington then south to Mount Lafayette is nothing short of spectacular.

Santa's Village in Jefferson. NH is just so beautiful this time of year. A day here on the rides and meeting Santa, Mrs Claus, the elves and all of Santa's reindeer really get you in the Christmas spirit.

Beautiful property with lots of activities for kids. It's a warm, fun atmosphere where everyone is having fun. However the room was very small & the pool was in serious need of cleaning. Stickney's was good but Bretton Arms Resturant was not worth the costs at all.
