The nine-hole golf course in a grand-hotel setting.
The Eagle Mountain House in Jackson is an historic travel destination for a myriad of visitors: golfers, outlet shoppers, betrothed couples — and families on the way to StoryLand.

Built in the late 19th century and restored two decades ago, the inn’s nine-hole golf course and cross-country ski trails are nestled in the White Mountains. A grand-hotel atmosphere includes an extensive library and piano, but if that doesn’t excite the kids, give them a handful of quarters for the downstairs game room.

While making plans for a trip to the Mount Washington Valley, leave some time on your itinerary to enjoy the inn. There’s a heated outdoor pool, tennis courts and wrap-around verandah to sit back and enjoy the mountain views.

A country breakfast, champagne brunch and New England-style dinner are available in the dining room while the indoor/outdoor tavern offers lunch and lighter fare. The homemade fruit muffins and maple butter are a good way to begin any adventure.

Keeping step with contemporary times, the inn has made efforts to go green with energy-saving alterations. Ask about gas aid packages ranging from $20 to $150 in savings available Sunday through Thursday nights.

Guest rooms begin at $84.50. A variety of packages are available for Storyland — open weekends until Columbus Day. Go to eaglemt.com, or call 1-800-966-5779 for more information.
