Horse Riding

Play on our tennis court, or we can organize indoor tennis, squash, swimming and aerobics minutes from Adair.

Fishing

Anglers can wet their lines at any number of streams, rivers, lakes, and ponds in the White Mountains. Fish for brook, brown, or rainbow trout, bass, salmon, northern pike, and other species. Fishing licenses are required.

One of the most often asked questions is, "Where can we see a moose?" While we hesitate to guarantee moose sighting (they do tend to wander) we have drives, routes and suggestions on the best places to spot wildlife. We can also arrange a guided tour to suit your schedule.

Adair is dedicated to lessening its impact on wildlife and the environment. This commitment has led us to implementing the Adair Green Program which includes working with a forester to optimize Adair's land to attract butterflies, songbirds and small animals.

Come explore the highways and byways, and discover what's just up the road: the timeless villages and fascinating small cities, rolling farmlands and deep green forests, soaring mountains and sparkling rivers, lakes and waterfalls.

Antiquing

There are a variety of quaint shops in neighboring Bethlehem and Littleton. Among the more popular with our guests are the Village Bookstore (a gem), Pentimentos, Duck Soup gift shop (cookware) in Littleton, WREN in Bethlehem and Harman's Cheese Shop in Sugar Hill. Maps of all "must-see" places are available as well as discounts to some shops and restaurants.  

If you want to take advantage of the absence of any sales tax in New Hampshire and do some "major league" shopping, it is a straight shot east (about 60 minutes) to North Conway, the outlet "Mecca" of northern New Hampshire featuring over 100 name-brand outlet stores.

White Mountain attractions not to miss...

Bretton Woods Canopy Tour - Located right here in Bretton Woods, NH, and descending over 1000 feet of elevation, the tour takes nature-lovers and thrill-seekers across a series of tree-top zip lines, and is the longest zip line canopy tour in New England and one of the longest canopy tours in the continental United States! High-flying suspension bridges and hiking trails connect the zip lines, and the tour concludes with the Williwaw Racing Zip, a dual, side-by-side zip line leading right into the Bretton Woods base area!
