Six miles from the base of Mount Washington, is one of the most complete
establishments of its kind in all the mountain region, having
accommodations for five hundred guests. It is situated on a beautiful
intervale, at an elevation of more than fifteen hundred feet above sea
level, and its piazzas afford a fine view of the White Mountain range.
It is also a central point from which excursions are made to the various
resorts within easy reach by rail or carriage. The traveler may find, in
this vicinity, an opportunity to enjoy a relic of the “good old days” of
stage-coaching, which the railway has not succeeded in entirely
abolishing, although it has largely superseded the conveyance once so
popular in the mountain region.
