Established in 1879, the Eagle Mountain House was known for its hospitality to travelers, spectacular mountain setting and hearty farm fresh meals. This tradition lives on today in a casually elegant, yet relaxed historical setting for couples, families and group gatherings. The views from a 280-foot wraparound veranda are some of the best in the White Mountains! For information about on-property activites, read about Hotel Amenities.

The Eagle Mountain House is conveniently located to the numerous White Mountain attractions and activities found in this all-season destination.

In summer, explore the endless miles of trails in the White Mountain National Forest by foot or mountain bike; kayak or canoe area rivers and lakes; cycle the country roads; take scenic drives to visit local covered bridges, cascades and waterfalls; attend a summer theatre performance at one of three theatre companies; enjoy a free concert outdoors under the stars; fly fish or just relax in one of the cool mountain streams. Be sure to take the kids to Story Land, a popular children's theme park for over 50 years and just a few miles away!

Fall is a time to enjoy the classic white-steepled New England villages painted every shade of red, yellow and orange. Shuffle through the fallen leaves as you stroll through Jackson stopping at shops and galleries along the way.

In winter, be sure to make plans to get outdoors and downhill ski one of 250 trails in the area; cross country ski from our door on the #1 touring center in the East; take a guided snowshoe nature walk; snow tube; ice skate indoors or out; go dashing through the snow in a horse-drawn sleigh ride then end your day relaxing in front of the woodburning fireplace in our lobby!

Anytime of the year, you can visit over 200 name brand outlets, specialty stores, antique shops and art galleries. Shopping everywhere in New Hampshire is tax-free! Plan an escape to just getaway and enjoy a massage, find time to read your next book, or sit back and enjoy the view!
