We stayed in a Bed and Breakfast about 15 minutes from North Conway. Fantastic place. Great Food. Hard to tell if our experience would have been the same at every time of year. There were very few guests which made our stay almost private. We liked that. Obviously had the place been filled to occupancy it may have been different. First thing we did was take a one hour scenic railway tour. That was a joke and waste of time and money but who would have known. Went to our lodging and had dinner. That was fantastic! 5 Stars *****!! Also included was full breakfast each morning. The second day we woke up, had breakfast and went on a hike. The hike was preplanned and guided. The owner of the tour guide company had a long time friend accompany her because she needed more tour guides. They packed snacks that fit our diet. We were scheduled to hike Champney Falls trail but we made that pretty quickly and they offered to take us to the top of Mount Chocorua. When we got to the top it started raining and with a few snowflakes. The wind was kicked up and the weather didn't allow us to spend too much time at the top. Shortly after leaving the summit, the sun came back out. The falls were beautiful. This was the first time my wife had ever hiked to the top of any mountain. Food in the area seemed to be pricey but I would imagine that is because it seems like a tourist area. Great weekend. Now we are planning some day hikes closer to home. All in all wonderful time with great food, great accommodations, wonderful hosts and people.
