Two other places to try: Nestlenook Farm in Jackson and the stables at Farm by the River Bed and Breakfast in North Conway.  

3. Try Snowshoeing

Snowshoeing offers a winter workout that will get your heart pumping. Homes in Bretton Woods are in close proximity to the snowshoeing trails at the Bretton Woods Nordic Center. Homes in Bethlehem and Lincoln are located near snowshoeing trains at Loon Mountain.

4. Get Cozy in Front of the Fire

Sitting in front of the fire in a White Mountains home is one of winter's pleasures. Many White Mountain homes feature fireplaces that provide a warm focal point for a family room made for aprés ski, popcorn, and the latest movie release.

5. Bundle Up for Stargazing

Many White Mountains homes have settings where the night skies sparkle with stars that are harder to see in places with more ambient light. And many White Mountains homes offer spectacular views. Put the two together and you have a home where all you have to do to stargaze in the winter is bundle up and step outside.
