I took a chance naming my lodge "Four Seasons Lodge" because 28 years ago, we were essentially a one horse town. Skiing was what we were known for and Settlers Green and North Conway outlets were Johnny Come Lately's! Over the years, folks have become way more outdoorsy, (even though gaming seems to be the #1 sport among teens) and hiking, ice climbing, dog sled races, snowmobiling and more have become a thing. Combine those sports with all the new and super fun White Mountain Attractions, and you'll need two pages for your list! So, let's start.

Finding Family Friendly Lodging
We All Ride the Family Struggle Bus.
Do you ever strive to have a drama free and perfect holiday with your family? We all do! But it’s a struggle to stay friendly with all your family plus, you'd be one of a kind if it was perfect!
We all have them, and they can be a blessing, an annoyance, or downright frustrating. Either way, you are stuck with them…and no I’m not talking about freckles! I’m talking about families.
Holidays can be a struggle and the larger your family is the more likely you are to get on each other’s nerves to some degree. Holiday season means shoving parents, step parents, siblings, girlfriends, boyfriends, crazy aunts, crazy uncles, crazy cousins, and pesky in-laws into one room and expecting a beautiful, happy holiday. What a nice dream. Everyone has a messy family. No one is perfect, and no one has a perfect family no matter how hard they try to prove otherwise. It’s easy to pretend your family life is purely beautiful and functional when you’re all focusing on your own lives but once the holidays arrive all of that pretending flies right out the window. The holidays are a great time for families to get together and remind everyone how dysfunctional we truly are, sometimes in the best ways.
