The Castle in the Clouds, in Moultonborough, is one of the most exceptional places to spend a night in New Hampshire.
Unfortunately, Plant lost his money in bad investments and was forced try selling the home to pay his debts in the early 19040s. No buyer was found and he stayed in the house until he died. At this point, the property was bought by the Fred C. Tobey estate.
As much as possible, things have been kept original, including rooms that are set up as if the original family was still living here. There are even some fun building innovations that were new for the time, including a central vacuum system, ammonia brine refrigeration and an intercom system.
Enjoy some decidedly modern beverages, like the impressive Mountain Buster Bloody Mary made with Tamworth Distillery's White Mountain Vodka and topped with a mini burger.
The Castle in the Clouds is located at Route 171, 455 Old Mountain Rd., Moultonborough, NH. They’re open from May through October and the Carriage House Restaurant remains open for certain days during the week throughout the winter. Check them out on Facebook and learn more by visiting their website. You can call them on (603) 476-5900.
There’s another wonderful mountain hideaway that’s worth a visit. This one in the White Mountains is a great place to go in the fall.
Michelle has lived in many places, but counts Maine as one of the best. In addition to the smell of ocean water in the air on rainy days in Portland, she loves puppies, photography, funny people, the Maine Red Claws, traveling, fresh tomatoes, Cambodia and filling out forms.
