Pats Peak Lodging
Pat’s peak is one of the best small ski areas in southern New Hampshire, attracting visitors from all over the area. Featuring one of the steepest runs in the state, Pats Peak has its share of diehard followers; however, more and more people are discovering this laid back ski area with its focus on family friendly skiing. Daycare and ski lessons for kids are both offered here as Pats grooms the next generation of fans and skiers. If you’re heading here to see what the hubbub is all about you’re going to need someplace to sleep and store your stuff. Here are the options in place for Pats Peak lodging.
Henniker Motel
This Pats Peak lodging is right next to the ski area. The rooms are classic motel rooms with one or two queen beds. The rooms have enough space for you to store your gear and relax at the end of the day. With the Motel just a few steps away from the lifts, you practically have ski in/out access to the slopes. After the day is done, you can relax in the heated indoor pool. In winter, the pool is in the mid-80’s great for soaking the winter chill out of your bones.
Colby Hill Inn
Colby Hill is a great Pats Peak lodging alternative. This bed and breakfast has 14 guest rooms, each individually decorated in rich brocades and different color accents. All have unique touches with different period antiques, four poster or sleigh beds, and Oriental rugs. Some of the rooms have two beds and a sleeper sofa. Guests enjoy a lavish four or five course breakfast in the morning. The food is organic when possible with most foods locally sourced. Most breakfasts include a fruit and grain course, a juice course, something baked, and then a main entrée. An optional afternoon tea is held on select afternoons. Enjoy smoked salmon, dill and cucumber tea sandwiches, apricot & ginger scones, and mini lemon blueberry crème brulee with assorted organic tea. At the end of the day, enjoy dinner in the Colby Hill Grazing Room with creations by Chef Bruce R. Barnes.
