Summer
Day hikes in the Mahoosucs and Grafton Notch, canoeing and fishing on the Androscoggin, 18 holes up the street and bike rides that start at the porch.

Foliage drives through the notches, moose watching on scenic back roads, and a cold one at Suds when you get back.
Any day
Main Street shops, the movies, the library and a rocker on the front porch. We can also connect you with local outfitters for canoeing, dog sledding, fishing and snowmobiling.
