Winter Activities
Although the hype of Winter slowly starts to decline after the Holidays, we have to remember to take advantage of all the unique activities that this snowy season provides. Our properties are spread throughout New England which makes it easy to do some exciting day trips to experience new adventures near and far.
Venture to Lincoln, NH
Halstead Manchester is just 77.4 miles away from Lincoln, NH which makes for an easy hour long trip to a location fit for everyone to enjoy. Lincoln is home to the popular ski resort, Loon Mountain. This mountain has beautiful sunny trails perfect for beginner and expert skiers and riders. However, if skiing is not for you, Loon Mountain also offers snow tubing for all ages day and night. Start the morning at Flapjacks to fuel you up before you hit the slopes and be sure to make a stop at the Paul Bunyan Room for some après beverages to close out the day. Looking to stick around for dinner? Check out the Common Man or Black Mtn. Burger Co. before making the trek home.
Looking for something a little more niche than a day on the mountain? Check out the Ice Castles in North Woodstock, the next town over from Lincoln. This is an extraordinary winter wonderland full of activities with walking trails, tunnels, slides, and sleigh rides.
Keep it Local
26 and 50 West Broadway are situated just minutes away from downtown Boston which gives residents a variety of options to explore everything the city has to offer. If you're new to the Boston area you have to check skating on Frog Pond off your bucket list. This is the most quintessential activity to do here in the Winter, no matter how cold it may be. After skating you can take a stroll around the snow-covered Common and make your way over to Tatte Bakery and Café to warm up with a cup of hot chocolate.
If you don't think you can brave the weather, check out one of Boston's many famous museums. The Museum of Fine Arts, the Boston Children's Museum, the Museum of Science, The Institute of Contemporary Art, or Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, all of which boast of variety of different artistic tastes.
