Now that the trees have shed their leaves and the color of autumn rests magically on the ground, the season of snow is surely upon us.

1 Comment April and May are typically considered “slow season” among the locals here in the valley, but The Wentworth is anything but “slow”! We have so much going on to keep us all busy during our Mud Season.

On Monday, January 9th we had nine carvers from around New England carve 300 lb blocks of ice into clowns, dragons, fish, a margarita bar, angels and even a road runner. Over the years we have seen these sculptures melt in as little as a few days or last until the middle of March.

Leave a Comment This is by far my favorite time of the year. With the kids out playing in the water and the sun beaming on my face while I watch the vactioners have a great time relaxing, how can you not love summer in The White Mountains. I say to myself quite often, “imagine you actually get to live here”. What could be better? Easy……my job
Summer is the season of the weddings and we have a wedding scheduled every weekend until the middle of November here at The Wentworth. I absolutely love working with all my bridal couples. I have, by far, the best job in the hotel. It’s happiness all the time. So far we’ve had about 6 weddings this year. All are very different in their own way but each just as beautiful as the next. The little details, creativity and personalization that goes into planning a wedding has always been my joy. The vendors my brides choose have been amazing. A “must see” is the work of Carrie from Dutch Bloemen Winkel, a local florist here in Jackson as well as the work of some photographers like Meg Simone, Jay Philbrick or Anne Skidmore.
Fridays are great here at the hotel. The bridal couple has checked in and friends and family fill up the inn with laughter and warm greetings. The back office transforms into a wedding wonderland with all the welcome baskets, card boxes, favors and decorations. Usually there is some sort of a Welcome Reception on Friday night and typically in the summer months it is a low key fun filled BBQ on the back deck. Saturday is always such a beautiful day. Everyone dressed in their best and the tent transforms into a page from a catalog. The brides, gorgeous, all of them! It’s a bitter sweet moment for me. All of our hard work coming together and seeing the guests and bridal couples reaction is wonderful but I know that this will be the last day I get to work with them. Bitter sweet indeed. Bonds are formed and some even turn into long lasting friendships.
Oh, the joys of summer and weddings in The White Mountains!

Leave a Comment In support of regional farmers, fisherman and food purveyors The Wentworth Dining Room is proud to present our Taste of Summer Festival. Our Chef creates nightly specials using the freshest ingredients he can find. Some of our most recent specials have been Veal from Northeast Family farms and here is an example of Chef Brian Gazda nightly specials:
Bone-in Veal Chop – this was served simply grilled with a salad made of fresh picked spinach, mint, feta and olives with a light lemon vinaigrette.
A popular appetizer has been Coast of Maine Calamari Salad served with a light frisee salad with a little kick added by chiles.

Leave a Comment The trees are mostly bare now, and the snows have not yet begun to fall in earnest. Believe it or not, this is one of my favorite times in New England. I love the way the dark tree reach their spindly arms into in dusky skies. I love how the crisp air starts to smell of snow – enticing hints of the winter to come. I love the days when I awaken to startlingly blue skies.
Late November and early December in New Hampshire are quiet as the state winds down from the leaf peeping frenzy of October and gears up for snow and skiers. This is an often overlooked time to travel to a New Hampshire hotel, but consider the advantages: no crowds, no bugs, and the same picturesque New England towns that are here the rest of the year. You can’t go wrong.
The White Mountains are as lovely as ever. Hiking can be truly enjoyable at this time of year, although hikers need to be prepared for sudden snows and drops in temperature. Any outdoor activity – even rushing from shop to shop – makes you feel like you deserve to spend the evening in front of the fire with a warm cup of tea or a glass of wine. The chill in the air makes sinking into your private hot tub feel positively delicious.
We are currently offering two great specials at our hotel White Mountains: 20% off weekends and 30% off mid-week bookings of standard or superior rooms through mid December. Spend a night or two with us while you shop for gifts at Santa’s Village in Jefferson, or recover from hosting Thanksgiving, or rest before hosting Christmas. Enjoy a Jingle Bell Chocolate Sleigh Tour of Jackson. No matter what you choose to do, you are sure to enjoy your time with us.
