The Inn at Crotched Mountain Bed & Breakfast is
wonderfully located in the middle of New Hampshire ski and
recreation. Perched above the Piscataquog Valley, it is a
premier lodging accommodation for the whole family. 
Built in 1822 as a New England farmhouse, the historic Inn
at Crotched Mountain in Francestown, New Hampshire once served
as a stop on the Underground Railroad, helping slaves escape
to Canada. John and Rose Perry purchased the home in 1976.
They have been working ever since to preserve and respect its
rich, historical past while providing modern bed and breakfast
lodging accommodations.
On a 65-acre parcel of land, the inn offers a tranquil
setting and a breathtaking view across Piscataquog Valley. The
decor is elegantly rustic, with rich wood tones accented by
vivid, jewel-like colors and striking paintings. Fresh flowers
grace both public and private rooms. The 13 cozy bedrooms are
furnished in lovely antiques befitting a country estate. The
house also features nine working fireplaces, four of which are
in the guestrooms. Two dining rooms are warmed by original old
fireplaces, and the main dining area contains the built-in
bookcases and books, including a history of the Inn, from the
old house.
In addition to her role as hostess, Rose stars as the chef.
Her artistry combines an eye for enticing presentation with
creative use of well-matched ingredients. Many of the
vegetables, herbs, and edible flowers that she uses are grown
on the grounds. The result is a delectable continental fare
fused with culinary elements from her native Singapore. Even
the most simple breakfast is well prepared and presented.
This intimate hospitality offered by the Perrys will make
all the difference. Come for a night, and you'll want to stay
a week. |
A mountain side swimming pool, wading pool, and two clay
tennis courts are on the grounds, and an 18-hole golf course
and hiking trails, doubling as groomed cross-country ski
trails in winter, are nearby.
The less athletically inclined can find entertainment at
several of the area's cultural attractions, including Sharon
Art Center, Peterborough Players, and Monadnock Music
Festival. Crotched Mountain Ski & Ride has reopened for
downhill skiing and boarding.
If you've never been to the Inn at Crotched Mountain, you've
never been treated to true hospitality served up in a family
manner. |
