We honor the choice our newlyweds make when deciding to have their wedding at the Stonehurst Manor. Providing the perfect setting to exchange vows is a great responsibility and we take it very seriously. We want everything to be perfect for you and that starts with our grounds.

Full of bright and beautiful flowers that correspond to the majesty of the New England outdoors, our gardens are so dynamic. Our gardens also offer lasting memories, because couples can have a stone engraved with their names on it and placed in the patio surrounding a bell that is rung after wedding ceremonies. What a perfect way to commemorate such a special day, right?
When you walk into the Stonehurst Manor, you immediately see the theme throughout our establishment. We have the feel of a cozy New England lodge with our own unique and eclectic spin on things.

Some of the things that the Mt. Washington Valley is so lucky to have are Mountains for great hiking trips and the Stonehurst Manor. Not every place in the world has the peaks we have or the level of hospitable lodging accommodations!
We are home to the highest peak in the Northeast, the Mount Washington. Which stands at 6,288 feet high and holds the record for the fastest wind ever recorded by man at 231 miles per hour. If this historic site doesn’t convince you to hike up the trail, then the comfortable setting of the Stonehurst Manor and all of the things you can do on the mountains in the Valley should!
When you wake up to the sun shining through your bedroom window in one of Stonehurst’s beautiful rooms and a hearty and flavorful New England Breakfast waiting to fill you up, you can take on any hiking adventure. That includes the hundreds of trails all over the Valley that take you to peaks that give you a 360 degree view of nature at its best. Check out Appalachian Mountain Club’s or Eastern Mountain Sport’s website as both will give you great perspectives on what the mountains in our Valley can offer.
Let us at the Stonehurst Manor get you feeling refreshed with our luxurious rooms, friendly staff and comforting food and let the mountains of the Valley give you a whole new meaning to your vacation and to your life. The fresh air and the beautiful scenery greeting you right at your room will be all you need to stay young in the mind, body and soul! Call us now to make a reservation!

Known as the “Sweetest Day on the Trails", the Annual Chocolate Festival on Sunday, Feb, 28 may be the only day of the year when chocolate cravings are encouraged! Choco-holics can work off the guilt (what guilt?) while cross country skiing or snowshoeing inn-to-inn on the 65km trail system maintained by the Mt. Washington Valley Ski Touring Association. Locals and visitors return year after year to enjoy the Chocolate Festival, often returning with a larger group of friends each time!
Presented as a fund-raiser by the MWVSTA, it’s exciting to see how this event has gained popularity and attendees over the past twenty years! We’ve also heard that many people mark their calendars each year and come from great distances to enjoy the spectacular scenery, warm hospitality, and great chocolate treats at stops throughout the network.
The Festival will be held rain or shine, snow or no snow. In case of inclement weather or poor trail conditions, attendees are invited to walk, drive, and shuttle between participating inns and businesses. The extended forecast predicts a chance of precipitation for several days this week. Since we’re in New England, we’ll have to wait to see what this brings. Think Snow!
Avoid the crowds and SAVE with advance online ticket purchases! Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 when purchased on Festival day at the MWVSTA Touring Center located at Ragged Mountain Equipment, Route 16 in Intervale. (Online orders received after noon on Monday, Feb 22 will be held for pick up at the Touring Center. Tickets are non-refundable. Sorry, all season pass holders must purchase the Festival Pass to indulge in the chocolate treats!)
Lots NEW in 2010! Details and descriptions can be found at www.crosscountryskinh.com/chocolatefestival
