This place is a local roaster. The most AMAZING coffee. They also serve breakfast and lunch, and sometimes have live music. It's a bit of a drive, but well worth it!

The Mt. Washington is an iconic ship that has wowed guests with tours of beautiful Lake Winnipesaukee for decades. Sunday brunches, special 4th of July fireworks cruises....so many events. We highly recommend a cruise on the Mount, especially if you are unable to rent a boat on your own (you need a boater's certificate to rent a boat in the state of NH).
