Where we come from

“In 1913, Lancaster commissioned sculptor Anna Hyatt Huntington to cast a fox in bronze for the town’s 150th birthday. It still sits in Centennial Park, three blocks from our front door. The town chose the fox for what it represents: clever, caring, independent, and at home with the wild. We chose it for the same reason.”

Clever

Park your car, bike, ATV, or snowmobile right at your door.

Independent

Family-operated. Three properties across New England. Over eight years in hospitality.

At Home

Steps from the best restaurants, shops, and trails in the White Mountains.
