During the early 1900’s over 75 grand hotels and country inns framed the rugged beauty of the White Mountains. Today, only the Mount Washington Hotel, the Balsams, the Mountain View Grand, Eastern Slope Inn and the Wentworth have withstood the test of time. In keeping with the legacy and elegance of these “Great Ladies” the owners of the contemporary Kearsarge Inn began a meticulous restoration in 2002 of a late 1800’s village residence into North Conway’s first boutique hotel.
