Dining
You are in for a treat! Dining in and around the Franconia Notch Region of the White Mountains in New Hampshire is more than just a necessity, its a pleasure. The restaurants of the NH White Mountains are truly attractions in themselves and we have all shapes and sizes to match your tastes. Picture your morning starting at one of our many cafes perched on a mountainside as you watch the sunrise over Mount Lafayette or the Pemigewasset River. Then, while you take in the White Mountains during the day with your framily, you`ll find your stomach craving a mountain burger or pizza slice at the Grill or Taverne. When dinner, or as we say in New Hampshire, "Suppah" comes around, you`ll find yourself taking in some of the eclectic mountain fare that puts our restaurants on the NH map!
So, keep it casual or dress it up; its your choice, above and below the notch! Have a look for yourself at many of our favorite White Mountains restaurants below:

Events
Many say that what sets the Franconia Notch area of the White Mountains of New Hampshire apart is it`s signature events. Whether its the New England Brewfest hosted by the Lincoln Woodstock Chamber of Commerce, The Lupine Festival organized by the Franconia Notch Chamber of Commerce, or the New Hampshire Highland Games hosted at Loon Mountain every fall, the White Mountains always have something going on.
It`s hard to say that we are known for our events, when we are equally known for our pristine year-round mountain playground. But, if you ask the locals from Lincoln to Bethlehem, and everywhere in between, its our events that distinguish us from other areas in the White Mountains. But, don`t just rely on the experts here at Franconia Notch Vacation Rentals to convince you... have a look for yourself. Below are a few links to the authorities for events in the White Mountains.
