​3 Perfect Days Vacationing in North Conway!
​

Oh, I could go on an on about this and that because there are SO many really fun things to do in North Conway. Instead, I'm going to pretend you are my favorite cousins coming for a 3 day visit and want to be wow'd with scenery and have tons of fun!

Day 1 - Outdoor Things To Do in North Conway
​

If you've rented one of the great vacation rentals in North Conway, your check in time is about 4 PM.  Be smart and make the most of your vacation by pulling the kids out of school for the day and get on the road early!

Plan to arrive at about 9 AM, drive directly ​Profile Motor Sports in Conway, NH.  They are friends of ours.  

Save 15% when you phone to make your mid-week reservation when you mention you are staying at Four Seasons Lodge.

The staff at Profile Motor Sports is friendly and knowledgeable. Feel free to ask questions and make sure you buy a map.  

They will suggest an appropriate route for you to take based on weather conditions, your ability, and the amount of time you're renting the sled.  They have a great selection of well cared for sleds and their rates are great.  

**Make sure you dress appropriately for the weather conditions of the day**

You are in for a real treat sledding on a mid-week day!  There won't be crowds on the trails and you'll be able to stop and enjoy lunch will taking in the views all around you.  

​The White Mountains are my favorite place to snowmobile and I'm sure it will be yours too!

Have fun and tell them that Teena says hi!

Now you can head to the best vacation rental in North Conway (Four Seasons Lodge) and check in!  Once you've picked your bedrooms and settled in, you can call one of the North Conway Restaurants that deliver rather than slave over a hot stove!  Remember - you are on vacation!

Finish off the night with a swim in our 81 degree INDOOR pool and then relax in our toasty sauna.  

Day 2 - More Outdoor Things to Do in North Conway
​

​Let's assume today is Saturday.  You know the snowmobile trails will be packed and the ski mountains will be too!  

If you have your hearts set on skiing today, set your alarms early so you can ski your first run on corduroy!!  At Four Seasons Lodge, we contract for plowing to be done EARLY so you can get on with your day.  From our personal experience, skiing on Saturday's is best from opening until 1 PM.  

Get your giddy up on and plan to arrive at the mountain about an hour before it opens so you can be set to go and on the first chair headed to the top!

If you ski half the day, how about renting some cross country skis or snowshoes and taking a scenic drive through the notches?  You can drive until you find a state park or a trail that looks inviting and set out on foot to explore.  

Dress warm, pack a lunch and bring a camera...  you never know how long you'll be out there and what beautiful scenery or animals you'll see!

On the way back into town you can stop off at one of the local ski hills and enjoy their apres ski entertainment before heading back to Four Seasons Lodge to clean up and get ready for supper.

If you don't feel like cooking (remember that you are on vacation), you have three options; have a catered meal at the Lodge (contact us for info), call out for delivery or go out.  

We have recommended caterers and chefs to many groups who have been really happy with meals either cooked on site or brought in.  Please phone us if you'd like a list of suggestions - 603.662.5391.

For those of you that are like me and would rather go out for dinner, follow me!  

If I was traveling with kids I'd pick Muddy Moose or Joseph's Spaghetti Shed.  Both are informal, serve up good food at reasonal prices and most importantly, you won't receive any nasty stares if litlle ones in your group are less than coopertive during your meal.  

If your group is comprised of folks that are old enough to vote, I'd either pick Horsefeather's or Red Fox in Jackson.  I like both restaurants for different reasons.  

Horsefeather's food is not top shelf but you can be sure to bump into locals and toursts alike in this downtown location.  When I travel I like to eat where the locals go and here, you'll rub elbows with folks that have lived here their whole lives plus you'll feel the vacation energy from all the tourists who choose Horsefeather's too!

Red Fox Restaurant in Jackson has a varied menu of delicious dishes.  Their waitstaff is attentive to your food preparation needs (check out "Food Allergies? Check out these North Conway Restaurants"), food is served up hot, prices are fair, theirr bar has its own cozy room and I like their beer selection.  

We eat at and stop by for a drink at both restaurants often.  Hope we bump into you someday!

Day 3 - Costly Things to Do in North Conway!

Costly?  Funny way to describe a day!

One of my favorite things to do when we have company in town is go to Red Fox for their Sunday brunch.  I highlighted Red Fox in my blog, "7 Non-Chain Restaurants with Insanely Good Food in North Conway" 

Their famous breakfast buffet is served Sundays from 7:30 AM - 1:00 PM and is $8.99.  Children are $3.99 for ages 4 years and under.

Here's where the costly comes into play...   Now that you're bellies are full you can head directly to the Outlet Mall called Settlers Green.  

Settlers Green is packed with outlet stores where you can purchase just about anything imaginable.  You know, the only store that's missing is a tool outlet.  I guess tourists are not thinking about that leaky faucet on vacation.  

The Outlet Mall is on the south side of town so you'll be a few steps closer to home after you've filled the trunk with all the bargains you're sure to find!

I tried to keep my suggestions to a minimum but in doing so, I left out lots of great restaurants and things to do in North Conway.  Check out our "Insider's Guide to North Conway" for more great ideas or ask me to send you my "Book of My Favorite Things".  It is packed with 80 pages of local approved favorite things to do!
