Much of the western side of New Hampshire, as you approach the Connecticut River that forms the entire border with Vermont, amounts to a less developed - and therefore less touristy - version of the Lakes Region. For a tranquil day or two the area around
Lake Sunapee
can be very appealing. Good bets for local inns include
The Back Side Inn
, 1171 Brook Rd, Goshen (tel 603/863-5161,
; $75-100), behind Mount Sunapee, a former hostel and now family-run Victorian with ten simple but comfortable rooms and a sumptuous breakfast buffet; and the upmarket
Goddard Mansion
on Hillstead Road in Claremont (tel 603/543-0603 or 1-800/736-0603,
; $75-100), with fancy mountain-view rooms and an elegant dining room and parlor.
