Walk the beaches of NH’s beautiful Atlantic coastline and explore the shops, galleries and restaurants of Portsmouth and Dover;
Take a cruise on Lake Winnipesaukee (summer);
Ski at Gunstock Mountain (winter);
Tour the state capital in Concord;
Enjoy the historic charm of lovely Exeter;
Sample the restaurants in Manchester, the state’s largest city; or
Catch a concert at the Bank of NH Pavilion, New Hampshire’s largest concert venue.
Canobie Lake Park, the state’s largest amusement park, is also less than an hour away.

Local Activities. If you prefer to remain even closer to home, our guests have easy access to beautiful Bow Lake, as we are only a quarter mile from the Strafford town dock and beach. Northwood’s Antique Alley and Barrington’s Nippo Lake golf course are nearby, and if you visit in the fall, don’t miss the Deerfield Fair, the largest in New Hampshire and only 20 minutes from the Inn.

From paddle boarding & kayaking, to hiking and exploring local events… the Strafford, NH area does not disappoint. Here are just a few of the highly recommended activities to take advantage of while you stay with us:
