There are plentiful places to stay in Littleton, NH and surrounding communities. Take your pick of historic inns on Main Street, budget-friendly options, and campgrounds! Looking for something a little further away from the hustle and bustle? You can always widen your search to the nearby towns of Bethlehem and Franconia, as well as areas to the north and east.

Eastgate Inn

Enjoy a free Continental breakfast, Wi-Fi, and flat screen TV's at this budget-friendly inn close to downtown. Open year round.

Hampton Inn by Hilton

Hop off I-93 for a convenient place to lay your head: the Hampton Inn by Hilton. In addition to their indoor saline pool, hot tub, fitness center and game room, they offer a free hot breakfast and Wi-Fi!

Crazy Horse Family Campground

Enjoy three-season camping at Crazy Horse Campground. This big-rig friendly camping spot in Littleton offers 175 forested and open sites, utilities, a pool, playground, store, laundry, and more.

Thayers Inn

Stay at a historic landmark hotel where you can stroll out the front door and right onto main street. Thayers Inn is a great pick if you’d like to experience the heart of small-town life in the White Mountains.

Whether you’re a brewery enthusiast looking to unwind after a day hiking in the White Mountains, or you would like a taste of Thai after shopping Main Street, Littleton, NH’s wow-worthy restaurants will welcome you.

The best stop in our opinion, though, is Schilling Beer Co., a brewery darling perched on the banks of the Ammonoosuc River. From humble beginnings, this brewery has grown to include a Brewery Pub & Kitchen, Mill St. Kitchen, and the Store & Tasting Room. Wood-fired pizzas, smashburgers, and more are all on the menu, as well as an ever-evolving beer list.

The best shops in this small town are packed with personality. Get your bike tuned up at Littleton Bike & Fitness and grab some local snacks at the Littleton Food Co-op before your hit PRKR Mtn Trails. If you’d rather go upscale, shop at Bella Funk Boutique and peruse artisan pottery, jewelry, and prints for your home at the League of NH Craftsmen Fine Craft Gallery. What about shops for kids? Chutters in Littleton, NH has the world’s longest candy counter! And the delightful Little Village Toy & Book Shop is only a short walk away.

Two other must-stop shops include the Littleton Coin Company’s museum and showroom (perfect for coinage collectors) and the Go Littleton Glad Shop (featuring Pollyanna memorabilia and Littleton souvenirs).

Tour Littleton’s outdoor art.

Enjoy outdoor art along Littleton’s Riverwalk District and Main Street, and take a photo with the famous Pollyanna statue in front of the library. Did you know Eleanor H. Porter, the author of the always-optimistic Pollyanna, once called Littleton home?

Attend a local event.

Scroll through our White Mountains Events Calendar and look for fun events! Popular events in Littleton, NH include First Fridays (held the first Friday of each summer month, featuring local artists, live music, and food trucks), holiday parades, art fairs, and Farmers Markets by the river on summer Sundays.

Go for a short hike at Kilburn Crags.

There are many short hikes near Littleton, but we like Kilburn Crags for its relatively quick, easy ascent, and great views looking towards the White Mountains. Go early in the morning or later in the day if you would like to up your chances of snagging a parking spot in the very small lot.

Rent a bike and pedal along the Cross New Hampshire Adventure Trail.

Did you know the 83-mile Cross New Hampshire Trail passes right through Littleton? Rent a bike in town at Littleton Bike & Fitness or BYOB (bring your own bike) and enjoy a woodsy pedaling session. If you’re craving more of a workout, consider downhill mountain biking at PRKR Mtn Trails.

Visit the Littleton Area Historical Society.

Time travel to Littleton’s past with the Littleton Area Historical Society. Enjoy displays covering everything from the Saranac Glove Company and the Norton Pike abrasives factory to war memorabilia and vintage toys.

The museum is open on Wednesdays (10am – 2pm), Saturdays (noon to 3pm), or by appointment. Located in the basement of the historic Littleton Opera House.

Littleton is ideally situated for many adventures and attractions in the White Mountains, including the Cannon Mountain Aerial Tramway, Flume Gorge, Santa’s Village, and the Mount Washington Cog Railway.

Hundreds of miles of hiking and biking trails are just a short drive away, as is great fishing in local streams and ponds.

Consider visiting Bethlehem while you’re in the region – this small, artsy town has a lauded local dining scene (including Rek’-lis Brewing and Super Secret Ice Cream) and cute shops to stroll on Main Street. If you plan it just right, you might even catch a show at the historic Colonial Theatre, which has served as a cultural hub in the North Country for over 100 years.
