Under Canvas White Mountains
- Location: White Mountains, New Hampshire, United States
- Why it’s notable: While much of New Hampshire’s outdoor scene still revolves around bed-and-breakfasts or budget motels, this marks the state’s first Under Canvas site with safari-style tents and a setting that opens up to Mount Washington and the surrounding Presidential Range. You can book guided hikes, relax around communal fire pits, or explore the surrounding forest trails, all without giving up hot showers or decent coffee.
- Type of traveler who will love this hotel: Outdoorsy travelers who want the White Mountains experience without roughing it — or overpaying for it.
- What’s nearby: Franconia Notch State Park, the Kancamagus Highway, and the Mount Washington Cog Railway are all within a 30-minute drive. So are the small towns of Littleton, Bethlehem, and Lancaster, where you’ll find general stores, local breweries, and classic New England diners.
- Opening: June 2026
