Allegory Inn Peaceful, owner-operated inn in New Hampshire’s White Mountains. Seven private guest rooms with private baths, Mount Washington views and direct trail access.

Historic 1830 property under new ownership since December 2024. Stay Peaceful. Explore Easily. We fell in love with New Hampshire’s White Mountains—especially Twin Mountain—and spent five years searching for the right opportunity to move here, build a business and become part of the community. On December 10, 2024, that dream became a reality when we purchased Allegory Inn. We relocated from Cape Cod and now live in the private innkeepers’ quarters while operating the inn ourselves. Living on-site allows us to give the property and our guests the personal attention they deserve. As a small, owner-operated inn, our highest priority is providing a clean, comfortable and welcoming place where every guest can relax and feel at home. Nathan has lived on Cape Cod for most of his life. Christine grew up near the New Hampshire border in Lowell and Tyngsboro, Massachusetts, before spending nine years on the Cape. Together, we have a blended family of six sons and our gentle-giant Daniff, Bailey. Bailey lives with us in our private area and does not enter the inn’s guest spaces, although you may occasionally see her enjoying the yard. Since taking ownership, we have been thoughtfully cleaning, updating and refreshing this historic 1830 property while preserving the character that makes it special. Allegory Inn offers seven private, non-smoking guest rooms, each with a private bathroom, complimentary Wi-Fi and comfortable bedding. Guests can also enjoy our inviting shared spaces, including the living room, library, sunroom and coffee bar and kitchenette. Although we do not serve breakfast, we provide complimentary coffee, tea, hot chocolate and a rotating selection of convenient light items. The kitchenette includes a dual Keurig for K-Cups or a full pot of coffee, a kettle, French press, microwave, toaster oven, refrigerator, dishes, glasses and utensils. Perfectly positioned in the heart of the White Mountains, Allegory Inn offers convenient access to Mount Washington, Bretton Woods, the Cog Railway, Franconia Notch, Crawford Notch, hiking trails, waterfalls, skiing and direct snowmobile access to Corridor 11. We look forward to welcoming you and helping make your White Mountains stay memorable. Christine & Nathan Holman

🚂 Did you know the Mount Washington Cog Railway was the world’s first mountain-climbing cog railway?

Opened in 1869, this remarkable railway travels approximately three miles to the 6,288-foot summit of Mount Washington.

More than 150 years later, “The Cog” remains one of the most unforgettable experiences near Twin Mountain.

Have you ever ridden it to the summit?

❤️ Family Gatherings Never Go Out of Style

This photograph from 1930 captures several generations gathered together at King's Cottage.

Families came from the Boston area to spend summers in Twin Mountain, escaping the heat, enjoying the mountain air, and making memories together.

Nearly a century later, we still see families returning year after year.

Different faces.
Different generations.
The same beautiful White Mountains.

It's one of our favorite reminders that while buildings age, traditions live on.

Thank you to Marie Stone Gardiner for helping preserve these memories.

🏡 Things We've Learned as Innkeepers...

"Let's just go for a quick drive..."
..turns into stopping every two miles because the leaves look even prettier around the next corner.

We wouldn't have it any other way. 🍁

The deck is finally going up! 🔨

After all the planning, demolition, digging, concrete work and foundation repairs, it feels so good to see the new framing beginning to take shape.

There is still plenty of work ahead, but this is the moment when the project finally starts looking like a deck—and we can begin imagining our guests relaxing out here and enjoying the fresh White Mountain air.

We’ll keep sharing the progress as it comes together!

🎣 Did you know the name Ammonoosuc has long been interpreted as “fish place”?

The Ammonoosuc River begins near the Lakes of the Clouds on the western side of Mount Washington and winds through our beautiful region.

Its rushing water, rocky banks and trout have been part of life in the White Mountains for generations.

Have you explored the Ammonoosuc during a visit?

Some evenings in the White Mountains stop us in our tracks. 🌄

Tonight, the last light of the day painted the mountains behind Allegory Inn in the most beautiful shades of pink and gold.

No filter needed—just another reminder of how fortunate we are to call this view home and share it with our guests.

Stay peaceful. Explore easily.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 The people who made King's Cottage feel like home.

This family portrait, taken around 1954, captures several generations gathered outside King's Cottage.

Behind every historic inn is a family whose hard work, hospitality, and dedication created a place where visitors returned year after year.

Long before online reservations or GPS, families simply knew this was where they wanted to spend their summers.

We're proud to continue that tradition today at Allegory Inn and grateful to Suzanne (Kenney) Orlowski for sharing these treasured family photographs.

Some traditions deserve to live on.

🏡 Things We've Learned as Innkeepers...

Come leaf peeping season...

Everyone suddenly becomes a professional photographer. 🍁📸😂

We've seen guests crouch in the middle of a field, stand on rocks, lean out car windows, and take 47 pictures of the exact same tree...
..just to decide the first one was the best.

Honestly? We get it. The White Mountains in the fall are hard to stop photographing.

🍂 Just make sure your phone has enough storage—you'll need every last gigabyte!

🛣️ Did you know Twin Mountain sits at the crossroads of U.S. Routes 3 and 302?

This location places us between Crawford Notch and Franconia Notch—and directly along the 100-mile White Mountain Trail scenic route.

It is one reason Twin Mountain makes such a convenient home base for exploring both sides of the White Mountains.

Bailey would like everyone to know that supervising renovations at Allegory Inn is exhausting work. 🐾

Between monitoring the parking lot, inspecting deliveries and performing full-body gravel-quality tests, our 155-pound gentle giant barely has time for her naps!

If you see Bailey rolling around outside, do not worry—she is not stuck. She is simply hard at work, making sure everything meets her very particular standards. 😂
