Come to the White Mountains of New Hampshire Where You “Participate with the Scenery...”

Welcome to The Spalding Inn, a charming New England Inn of bygone days where you’re ensured relaxation and refreshment between your adventures in the wondrous beauty found only in the White Mountains and Great North Woods of New Hampshire. Blended with the natural beauty the area provides a variety of events and attractions to help facilitate a family vacation of a lifetime.

New Hampshire is known for its quaint towns and villages, to which the old town of Whitefield (celebrating its two hundredth anniversary) is no exception with its valley setting and Victorian architecture. Nestled between the towns of Littleton, Lancaster, and Bethlehem, and amid the vibrant and colorful mountain views found only “above the Notches,” Whitefield offers an easily accessible and central starting point to the many exciting attractions, natural wonders, historical interests, and antique and outlet shopping opportunities offered throughout the North Country.

There is simply something for everyone in the family to enjoy!
