Inn at Thorn Hill
Romantic New England country elegance. Think rocking chairs on a wraparound porch, crackling fireplaces, two-person whirlpool tubs, and a wine cellar you can actually dine inside. Couples-focused and deliberately unhurried.

Why It Matters
Named New Hampshire's #1 Boutique Hotel and ranked #2 Best Places to Stay in North America by Condé Nast Traveler Reader's Choice. Holds a DiRoNA Silver Award (2025), Wine Spectator Award of Excellence, and was previously AAA Four-Diamond rated — rare for a property this size and this remote.
A 19-room adults-only boutique inn perched in the White Mountains of northern New Hampshire, with a history stretching back to the late 1800s — the property was originally designed by architect Stanford White. Every room has a gas fireplace, complimentary gourmet breakfast is included, and the on-site restaurant Forty at Thorn Hill has earned a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence. The inn briefly closed after a fire in 2024 and fully reopened in September of that year, now freshly restored.
Where You'll Stay
19 room types available
Adams Room
Spacious room with a large bathroom featuring a two-person spa whirlpool tub and a roll-in shower — the accessible room at the inn. The whirlpool is a standout feature.
Brookmead Suite
Ground-level suite with a double-sided fireplace and views of the gardens and wooded surroundings. A quieter, nature-forward option among the suites.
Eisenhower Room
Second-floor room designed for relaxation. Queen bed, flat-screen TV, and a gas fireplace. Serene and straightforward.
QueenGray Manor Room
Second-floor room with abundant natural light and Presidential Range views. Bright and airy compared to the more wooded-facing rooms.
KingJackson Room
A bank of windows gives this room a strong connection to the surrounding woods. Good for guests who want nature as their constant companion.
Jefferson Room
Second-floor room with a king bed and sweeping views of the Presidential Mountain Range. Elevated position makes the scenery the centerpiece.
KingKatherine's Suite
Uppermost-level suite named after Katherine Wormley, the Civil War nurse and author who originally owned the Thorn Hill property. Panoramic views in multiple directions.
Madison Room
Second-floor room with a king bed and a panoramic view of the Presidential Mountain Range. One of the most photographed views at the inn.
KingMonroe Room
Spacious room with a grand king sleigh bed and two recliners — room enough to genuinely spread out. Good pick if you want to stay in and watch TV by the fire.
KingMt. Clay Room
Top-floor room with a gas fireplace, flat-screen TV, and a recliner. A proper retreat-style room for guests who plan to spend time in the room itself.
Mt. Pierce Room
Second-floor room with a queen bed and a forest view. Cozy and quiet, with the TV facing the bed for easy lounging.
QueenMt. Washington Suite
Set inside the inn's turret, this suite has windows on multiple sides and views directly toward Mt. Washington. Natural light floods in throughout the day.
Mt. Webster Room
Second-floor room with a queen bed and a forest-facing view. The gas fireplace adds warmth to an already cozy setup.
QueenNotch View Cottage
A standalone rustic country cottage with a screened-in front porch and forest views. Good for guests who want more separation from the main inn without sacrificing access to its dining and services.
Presidential Suite
Third-floor suite with arguably the best Presidential Mountain Range view in the house. The elevated position and suite-level space make it worth the upgrade.
Stanford White Room
Named after the famous architect who designed the original property. King bed with forest views through the windows.
KingThe Carriage House
Historic carriage house adjacent to the main inn with six bedrooms (each with a private bath), a full kitchen, dining area, living room, and a deck. Sleeps up to 12 guests. The only option at the inn suitable for larger groups or family buyouts.
Queen (per room)Trailside Cottage
The second standalone cottage. Popular with honeymooners. Bright and cheerful interior with a porch for outdoor dining. More romantic in feel than the Notch View.
Tuckerman Suite
Third-floor suite named after Tuckerman's Ravine — a beloved ski and hike destination. The double-sided fireplace is a signature feature, visible from multiple areas of the suite.
