    Fall Foliage

    There is a warm, personal element at the Darby Field Inn. Originally built as a homestead in 1826, the Inn has hosted guests of all ages: as a farm, boys' camp and guest house. Today, it's a rambling mountain retreat, visited by travelers the world over.

    Only three miles from Conway, yet right in the middle of nowhere...

    Overlooking the Mount Washington Valley and Presidential Mountains from the north face of Bald Hill.

    Quiet, natural setting where you will truly know that you are in the mountains. Easy access to the White Mountain National Forest and Mt. Washington Valley, avoiding traffic.

    GardensAt the Darby Field Inn, our goal is to provide you with comfortable accommodations in a quiet, romantic, safe, clean and friendly environment. We offer delicious, well-prepared food, made with the freshest ingredients possible, and served in a casual, yet elegant environment. In every way, we're committed to helping you, our guest, relax and enjoy your time in New Hampshire's White Mountains.

    Outside you'll find award winning flower gardens, a sparkling swimming pool, private walking or cross-country ski trails, or take a carriage or sleigh ride right from our door. Whatever you do enjoy our stunning panorama of the White Mountains.

    Inn in WinterOur living room with its massive fieldstone fireplace invites you to meet other inn guests, read a book or just relax with our mountain view.

    Our cozy sunroom tavern is the ideal gathering spot to unwind after your day's activities. Don't forget to try our famous "Irish Revolution" - a drink and dessert all in one. The size, view and arrangement of our traditionally distinctive guest rooms gives each a character all its own. Enjoy accommodations which include amenities such as fireplaces, jacuzzi tubs, shower/steam room, TV/VCR, balconies, and spectacular mountain views!

    RestaurantAs you dine, you'll discover the pride the chef takes in preparing and presenting every dish, ensuring that dining will become one of your favorite memories.

    You'll savor our original American cuisine by candlelight, prepared fresh to order, and be entertained with classical music and perhaps even a sunset.

    The atmosphere is casual and unhurried as our staff caters to your needs in a professional and easygoing manner. By the end of your stay, you'll feel part of the Darby Field tradition and will be looking forward to returning to the Inn that stands "at the end of an unwinding road."

    If there's something we can do to enhance your stay, just let us know.

    Living RoomThere is a warm, personal element you'll sense as soon as you enter the inn...

    Our living room with its massive fieldstone fireplace invites you to enjoy the camaraderie of the other Inn guests, read a book or just relax with our mountain view.

    TavernOur tavern is like two rooms in one...

    By day, it's a greenhouse-like reading room filled with plants. The room is brightly lit by picture windows which look out to our award winning gardens.

    By night, it's transformed into a cozy pub, illuminated by the warm glow of a wood-burning stove and candles with soft jazz or blues playing in the background. Day or night, it's a wonderful place to while away the hours.
