Summertime in Lyme, New Hampshire

It’s officially summertime. Flowers are blooming, farmer’s markets and orchards are welcoming visitors, bicycle paths—on road and off—are ready for your two-wheelers, and theatre, dining, and many other adventures await!

Making a home base of the Lyme Inn gives you the benefit of a small-town starting point. Elegant rooms, each with a coffee maker (and coffee), mini-fridge, microwave, air conditioning, and marble bath—all comfortable and beautifully decorated—allow for easy relaxation and great sleep. A light breakfast is included and for dinner, the popular Ariana’s Restaurant at the Inn offers dining options using fresh, local, and sustainable ingredients. Reservations are recommended! The Lyme Inn is a great location from which to branch out to the many activities our part of New England offers.

This 34.5-mile drive, recognized as a National Scenic Byway, winds across beautiful parts of the state, including the White Mountain National Forest. And if you want to venture off the road a bit, there are many stops with lookouts or hikes of various lengths and difficulties to add to your driving adventure.
