The Village House is a year-round Jackson New Hampshire inn offering a range of vacation accommodations from traditional guest rooms to self-catering apartments.

The 150 year old property is situated in the stereotypically quaint New England village of Jackson at the northern end of the Mount Washington Valley, on Route 16A just steps from Jackson’s famous covered bridge.

The inn’s excellent location provides immediate access to the Mount Washington Valley and its entire range of pursuits, offering visitors activities spanning all four seasons.

At the end of the day, close the door on the stresses and strains of the outside world and enhance your mental and physical well-being with a Village House massage. Our therapist uses a variety of techniques as well as offering reiki, reflexology, facilitated stretch, yoga and pilates for 30 minute and hourly sessions.

We have a plentiful supply of box games, jigsaws, books and outdoor toys and games to amuse all ages, whilst business travellers will appreciate some of the special features designed to make their stay as productive as it is pleasurable, including wireless broadband internet access, and a complimentary local telephone service and drop-in computer desk available in the main inn.

During the summer months, why not take a dip in our swimming pool or stroll by the water’s edge where the Ellis and Wildcat rivers meet at the back of the property.

Take a round of golf at nearby Wentworth Golf course, or just relax on the wrap round porch with a complimentary drink from the guest refrigerator.

In the Winter time cross country ski from our door onto the 160 kilometres of trails maintained by the Jackson Ski Touring Foundation and, at the end of a busy day, toast your toes by our stove in the lounge with a warm drink, or watch the stars whilst relaxing in our outdoor hot tub, an exhilarating experience at any time of year!

Inn History

Built by Jonathan Meserve in the mid 1800s, The Village House was originally known as Towle Farm with its own cows and vegetable gardens. The inn's annex building, clay tennis courts and ideal location attracted many repeat vacationers. During the 1930s, Towle Farm was re-named the Hawthorne Inn and became a haven for skiers, who often filled the halls with sleeping bags at weekends and vacations throughout winter months.

Sadly in 1973 the Hawthorne Inn burned down and the surviving part of the construction was moved to a slightly different location, where it stands today, now known as ‘The Village House’.
