2 Best Hotels in Waterville Valley, The White Mountains

Waterville Valley's premier condominium resort, its steep roof punctuated by dozens of gabled dormers, recalls the grand hotels of an earlier era. Rooms are outfitted with upscale light-wood furniture and have full kitchens; many units have views of the surrounding peaks.

One of the region's better values, the Valley Inn offers few frills, but when you factor in the free activities pass and the quiet but convenient location, it's an excellent option.
