IN ADDITION TO THE MT. WASHINGTON HOTEL THE BALSAMS HOTEL IS ANOTHER OF NH'S HIDDEN GEMS. THE HOTEL (ORIGINALLY A 25 ROOM IN CALLED THE DIX HOUSE) WAS FOUNDED SHORTLY AFTER THE CIVIL WAR. THE HOTEL HAS REAL VICTORIAN CHARM, NO TV'S IN THE ROOMS THOUGH. AT THE BALSAMS THEY WANT YOU TO GET OUT AND ENJOY THEIR SURROUNDINGS.
