Conway, in the heart of the Mount Washington Valley, is an easy-to-love base for multi-week stays — a scenic New England town with immediate access to White Mountains hiking, skiing at nearby Cranmore, river recreation, a compact village of cafes, breweries and outlet/boutique shopping, plus lively seasonal events that keep downtime interesting.
When you want bigger-city options, Portland, ME and Manchester, NH are both within easy drive and offer expanded dining, nightlife and regional flights.
