Sunset Hill House

September 23, 2012...
Happiest innkeeper in the world, Nancy Henderson, welcomed the Red Chair with open arms this week at her gorgeous spot in Sugar Hill, New Hampshire near Franconia Notch.  Known for it's golfing, fine dining and proximity to the White Mountains, the Red Chair used the wedding facilities here to elope with a tall handsome barstool!  Yes, the Red Chair is now married.  You can read all about how that happened on the Sunset Hill House blog:)

Manor on Golden Pond

September 14....
You remember the movie, loons on the lake with the mist drifting in early morning light.  Well, it's all still there for you at the Manor on Golden Pond, and the Red Chair settled right in and enjoyed the deep relaxation that comes from such an inspired location on Squam Lake.  Leaves about to pop, crickets still chirping and the soft breeze whispering through tall oaks.

Snowvillage Inn

September 11, 2012...
The peace and tranquility of the White Mountains are at the core of fun had with the Red Chair at the Snowvillage Inn, where guests gather around the fireplace to enjoy food and cocktails as the sun sets over the Presidential Mountain Range.  Laughter, great views and good fun follow.

1785 Inn, NH

September 8th, 2012...
On the edge of the White Mountain National Forest, the Red Chair enjoyed a few days at the 1785 Inn, a location that Frommer's recently wrote has one of the best views in the world.  A tad early for ski season, the Chair enjoyed the quiet gardens and the view across mountain caps, with forests on the cusp of their tremendous autumn display.  What a way to unwind in September!

September 5th, 2012...
Denim friendly is the keyword to understanding the feeling of casual luxury at the Inn at Thorn Hill, where our Red Chair made haste to the wine cellar to enjoy a fine French Merlot.  All this before hiking to the top of a local mountain on the BACK of one of the innkeepers -- much to the surprise of other climbers.  Read all about the trip on our blog!
Life in the White Mountains is a happy time for big Red.

Mt. Washington B&B

September 3, 2012 ...
Moving due west, the Red Chair crosses into New Hampshire -- our fourth state!!
Who doesn't love a visit to Mt Washington?  The Red Chair had a blast with innkeeper Mary Ann Mayer and enjoyed seeing the sights in Shelburne and Gorham!
This B&B is one of the closest to the Mt. Washington Auto Road, and a great spot from which to explore the whole area.

The Briar Lea Inn

August 27, 2012...
The Red Chair swung west on its trip through Maine towards the town of Bethel and The Briar Lea Inn and the Jolly Drayman Pub. While visiting, the owners of the Inn showed the chair around, bringing it to all the beautiful - and sometimes quirky - landmarks. The Chair also stopped for a refreshing pint at the Jolly Drayman Pub after a long day of exploring. Be sure to check out the photo essay from the visit.

Newcastle Inn

August 18, 2012...
The Red Chair continued to journey south, arriving in Newcastle, Maine. While there, the Red Chair was hosted by Newcastle Inn and shown all the treasures of Newcastle and Damariscotta. The Chair explored Pemaquid Point lighthouse, Dodge Point and a pumpkin patch where the pumpkins are growing in preparation for the Damariscotta Pumpkinfest and Regatta.
What is it about coals to Newcastle?
