Summer in the White Mountains conjures up images of warm sunny days and cool evenings. Spend your days hiking, mountain biking, sightseeing, exploring waterfalls or just kicking back. Pick blueberries around the inn. Take a cool refreshing swim in the nearby Saco River or in our new heated in-ground swimming pool. Or simply relax on a front porch rocker. In the evening, curl up by the fireside with a favorite book.
