Welcome to one of the last remainging grand hotels in New Hampshire.
As written on the Mountain View Website:
On a dark and stormy spring night in 1865, a stagecoach traveling from Boston to Montreal bumped and plodded northward along what is now Route 3. The going grew steadily worse until near the intersection of what is now Mountain View Road and Route 3, the coach hit a mud hole and tipped onto its side. As the two passengers crawled out, the driver recommended they walk a half-mile up the (then) dirt road, where he was sure there was a farmhouse. Perhaps the farmers would take them in for the night.
The wet and weary travelers made their way through the driving rain to the home of William and Mary Jane Dodge, who not only took them in and gave them a snug place to sleep, but provided a hearty farm breakfast the next morning with homemade fresh doughnuts, pancakes, and sausages.
The guests so enjoyed the hospitality of the Dodges and the majestic 360-degree views that they implored their hosts to let them stay for a few more days. Before they left, the passengers made sure that they would be welcome to return for several weeks the following summer. During that extended stay, the Dodges became convinced that other tourists would enjoy their hospitality as well, and in the summer of 1866, they officially opened the Mountain View House, complete with a newly built two-story addition and a full veranda.
And the rest they say is HISTORY.
Please enjoy this wonderful spot. Take time to sit and enjoy the view.
