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 sightings (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.

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.
