A Wonderful, Relaxing Afternoon - My family and I enjoyed a wonderful afternoon on the Scenic Railroad during the summer. Our Conductor and cabin man were very friendly and the experience was very enjoyable. Would recommend for a relaxing experience for the family or partner. Do the First Class car for extra comfort and included snacks and drinks!

Overnight Stay - Room was somewhat dated but exceptionally clean. The beds and pillows were comfortable. When we checked in Elaine was very friendly and handed us a real key. Have not been in a hotel for years that had a real key! Only stayed overnight but if you need a reasonably priced hotel I woukd recommend the Fireside Inn.

Fun but a bit hard to find the town - This was a good train ride. We were taken around the bay there in Meredith New Hampshire. It is well worth the price. For travelers who are not familiar with the area,it’s a bit hard to find. If you are in the area definitely take the train ride. If you are a bit aways from there maybe skip it.

Trees homes people waving - More for kids and individuals visiting the area. We saw trees people waving and homes. Maybe in the fall it would be great to see the colors on the trees. My husband and I definitely weren’t impressed we could’ve drove the area not to much to see.
