Memorial Day weekend marks the beginning of summer in the White Mountains

This Memorial Day weekend marks the 58th opening season of Santa's Village, the 57th opening season of Storyland and the 54th opening season of Six Gun City!
Bring the family and come stay with us this summer and enjoy any of the three theme parks (we offer discount tickets for Six Gun City and a package for Six Gun City).

If you are into golf, we certainly have that! Discount rates for Maplewood Golf Club, Waumbek Golf Club and Bethlehem Country Club available to Carlson's guests.

Or if you're simply looking for a relaxing family or romantic get-a-way the sunset over the mountains and the clean, cool White Mountain air is calling your name. Enjoy nature by taking a hike, sitting and listening to the birds chirp, or swimming in the nearby Ammonoosuc River.

Rooms are available with 1 or 2 double beds, 1 or 2 queen beds, or 1 king bed. We also offer larger corner rooms with 2 queen beds and an efficiency as well as a 2 room suite. (Some rooms also adjoin!)
