Welcome to our selection of holiday rentals in New Hampshire.
New Hampshire is home to the natural granite formation of ‘Old Man of the Mountain’. Measuring 40 feet from chin to forehead, nature carved this profile thousands of years ago. New Hampshire is very popular with tourists in summer and winter and offers a wide range of activities when you want to take a break from everyday life.
The Flume is a beautiful place to visit any time of the year. It’s a park designed for everyone and you can easily manage the bridges and stairs over treacherous terrain and water bodies. It has hiking trails, waterfalls and an 800-foot gorge. A visit in June, however, makes the trip memorable, as the colors seem more spectacular at this time of the year.
The Canon Mountain Aerial Tramway offers an aerial view all the way to Canada on a clear day from the top of the 4,180’ Cannon Mountain. Take a trip back in time by visiting the oldest covered bridge in the nation. It is open only to foot traffic though. While back in time, do visit the oldest general store, The Brick Store’, dating back to 1790 which, at one time, used to dispense ‘Snake oil’ remedies.
While here, you have to visit the Mount Washington Cog Railway. It is one-of-a-kind ride that has some of the steepest tracks in the world. In fact, the steep grade makes the people in the front of the train 14 feet higher than those in the back! It offers some spectacular views and on some days you seem to be climbing over the clouds. On a clear day, you can see four states and Canada along with the Atlantic Ocean! How’s that for some long distance viewing?!
Talking of spectacular views, don’t miss the scenic trip down the Kancamagus Highway. The best scenic drive in the state with overlooks, winding roads and spectacular roads, it is not to be missed.
Whether you go here by foot or road, Frankenstein’s Trestle is the sight to behold. It is a wooden trestle that bridges a gap between the mountains and gives the impression of dangling precariously at its edge.
At the Glen Ellis Falls, you can watch the water cascade from a 64-foot drop into a turquoise pool. If that’s not too high, head to the Arethusa falls to see the highest waterfall in the state at 200 feet.
You can drive to Moose Alley in Pittsburg to see and take pictures of the congregating moose. On Route 4, you can step into one of the many antique shops to pick up a unique one of a kind collectible.
We are sorry but at the present time we do not have any holiday rentals available in New Hampshire.
