I’m just not a B & B kinda guy

Ellis Inn - Fireplace

For my second stay in New Hampshire, I opted to stay at a Bed and Breakfast inn for the first time ever. Although to be more accurate, the Inn at Ellis River was more inn than bed and breakfast, which was fine by me. I didn’t want to stay at a B&B so small that…

New Hampshire – Bringing the Rocky Mountains just a little bit closer to home

A Wintry Wonderland in Jackson, New Hampshire (snow covered trees and creek)

I loved New Hampshire. As soon as I peeled off I-91 to finally enter the state, I knew I was in for something special. I never realized I-91 stayed within Vermont even though the border to New Hampshire was literally only yards away, and yet I hadn’t officially crossed over until the day was nearly…

Staying at Nordic Village Resort (A Review)

Nordic Village Resort Bridge and Pond

With all the lodging options available in the White Mountain region of New Hampshire, it was really tough to decide where to stay. I wanted a roomy place with a fireplace and a jacuzzi, but I was also curious about the bed and breakfast inns here, especially considering they were immensely popular in this part…

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…

Mini Christmas Tree with Soldier and Train

The decorations are up, and the Chipmunks are back on my iPod playlist. It’s that time of year again, so you know what that means: time to plan another early Christmas getaway! :-D Last year I traveled to Stockbridge in Massachusetts in a quest to recapture the Christmas spirit, something I hadn’t felt in a…

Prancing around the Smokies

Traffic in Pigeon Forge

This post covers the events from October 19th to the 21st, during my stay in the Smoky Mountain region. There was so much to see in this region I couldn’t NOT take a peek around. The worst thing about it though was that it was obviously peak season, and if that weren’t bad enough, apparently…

Staying at Above The Starrs – a Timber Tops Cabin Rental Review

View outside the cabin

I woke up to my very first morning in a log cabin, the views outside the windows obscured by a dense fog that whisked its way through the mountains. It seemed obvious now why they call it the Smoky Mountains, but fortunately the fog would clear as the day continued. The cabin itself was immaculate,…
