For a seamless experience, stay where you play! With an aesthetical nod to its ancestors, the 68-room Glen House Hotel is built in classic New England vernacular, with clapboards and painted trim, similar to the previous four Glen Houses that have stood on its site since 1852. The spacious guestrooms are reflective of the simplicity of Shaker design while the lobby embraces the history of the Mt. Washington Auto Road.
Although inspired by the past, the technology of today separates The Glen House from its predecessors. The Glen House is nearly energy self-sufficient and carbon neutral, thanks to a state-of-the art geothermal system that will provide heating and cooling as well as two energy-generating projects harnessing hydro and solar power.
The Glen House features a full service restaurant and lounge, conference space, an indoor salt-water swimming pool, and is pet-friendly.
Mt. Washington Gift Shops
We have four Gift Shops on our property. In the Base Lodge, visit the Gift Shop on the main level and the Great Glen Outfitters Shop on the First Floor (lower level). At the base of the Auto Road, you’ll find the Hideaway Country Store, and when you get to the top, visit our Summit Shop.

Our base lodge gift shop has something for everyone, with local NH made items, stuffed animals, posters, books, snacks, clothing and much more for the Mt. Washington Auto Road enthusiast or to remember your trip forever.
Also in our Base Lodge, on the first floor, is the Great Glen Outfitters Shop. If you’d like to get a little more techy with your purchase don’t miss this stop. Footwear, quick wicking shirts, winter hats and winter jackets are just some of the options at the outfitters shop. Grab a Clif Bar, Vitamin Water and a fun summer pack for your days spent around Mt Washington.
The Hideaway Country Store is just beyond the Mt. Washington Auto Road Toll House. A quaint shop with restrooms, a gas station, picnic area and a slightly smaller selection of Auto Road goodies, snacks and gifts. We also sell gas in case you are starting to get low!
At more than a mile above sea level sits our summit gift shop! Just follow the staircase from the parking lots and the building will greet you at the top. It’s the smallest of the three gift shops but still has some excellent products and a breathtaking view.
