Sled dog excursions in New Hampshire

January 10th, 2013 by billwebb

This past week we had a couple of guests who took a sled dog excursion through some of the countryside just to our north. They came back to the Inn with rave reviews about the experience!

A sled dog ride is just one of many winter activities you can enjoy around the Squam Lake area. There’s downhill skiing and cross country skiing nearby at Waterville Valley or Loon Mountain. You can skate on a local pond or  lake or at Plymouth State’s Ice Arena, and of course there’s ice fishing throughout the lakes region. There’s also tubing nearby at Gunstock Mountain and a couple of zipline tours offer winter rides. Or bring your snowshoes and head out our back door onto our 50 wooded acres. You can visit our website for a complete listing of winter activities.

Why not plan a getaway where you can partake in these many activities and enjoy great hospitality at a charming New Hampshire B&B at the same time? We have spacious, comfortably furnished guestrooms with all the modern amenities including free WIFI and tv’s.

NH Dog Sled Adventures Near Our Bed and Breakfast/Inn

Snow! Snow! Snow! That’s what we wish for every winter here in New Hampshire. A snowy winter is important for skiers and snowmobilers, but it’s especially critical for dog sled enthusiasts.  Dog sled rides are a great, different adventure and we have a couple of kennels close to our Holderness B&B that offer rides to the public. This is a great way to explore the countryside of the New Hampshire’s lakes region and the White Mountains. Imagine winding your way through the back woods, no one else around – a wonderful way to see Mother Nature’s winter grandeur.  You can share the driving experience with a professional or you can sit back and leave the driving to them.

Of course, at the end of the day what could be better than returning to our cozy bed and breakfast/inn?  Sit by the fire, a glass of wine in hand and enjoy a quiet evening. Or dine at one of  the many excellent restaurants we have in the Squam area.  You’ll get a great night’s rest in one of our spacious, comfortable guestrooms and when you rise the next morning you’ll smell fresh coffee and the aroma of a home cooked breakfast as we get you ready for another day of winter activity.

The Inn On Golden Pond is an excellent lodging choice in the Holderness, Plymouth and Meredith NH area.  So come enjoy the wonders of winter, perhaps a little differently than ever before – on a sled pulled by a team of pure bred Siberian Huskies!
