The Balsams

Balsams Wilderness
BalsamsNorthern New Hampshire is reputed for its secluded setting, time-honored service, and extravagant meals. Its also known as the first voting place of record in the US during the NH Primaries.

Most don't realize that the Balsams offers great downhill and Nordic skiing- its a veritable private winter ski resort with trails enjoyed exclusively by the fortunate few guests. A vacation at the Balsams is more about tradition (hint: dress for dinner), and less about time (hint #2 - unplug from modern technology). The skiing in this northern New Hampshire notch is a bonus - and a great way to work up an appetite for tonight's gala buffet in the Main Dining Room. The Balsams Resort is now being managed and renovated by Ocean Properties who also own Harborside in Bar Harbor, Samoset, Wentworth and Sagamore resorts, so expect improvements.

Check out our review of The Balsams, The Hotel Mount Washington, and The Mountainview Grand - all grand New Hampshire ski hotels from a bygone era:
