Located on 100 private wooded acres in New Hampshire's beautiful White Mountains, The Highlands Inn is truly "A Lesbian Paradise."
The Inn has 19 guest rooms, all with private baths. Several rooms have special amenities, such as a private deck, fireplace, two-person spa, or both a spa and fireplace. Rooms and common areas are furnished with antiques, fine linens, original artwork, and fresh flowers, creating the ambiance of a Victorian country home. In keeping with this atmosphere, guest rooms feature distinctive period pieces; many have a four-poster or canopy bed handcrafted by local craftsmen.
In the winter, our trails provide outstanding cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. We have two large whirlpool spas, both open year round. The private indoor spa is located in the Main Inn, in a room off the breakfast room, and the outdoor spa is just a few steps from the Main Inn. Many guests especially enjoy relaxing in the outdoor spa, surrounded by snow-covered fields!
In the summer, guests enjoy the heated 54-foot pool with its surrounding sundeck and adjacent spa. Leisurely walks and more strenuous hikes on the Inn's 15 miles of well-maintained trails are always popular ... the trails are also great for mountain biking. And New Hampshire's fall foliage is world-famous!

Sample Guest Comments ....
 The best place in the world to just “be”. You instantly feel at home as soon as you walk through the door. The old inn charm, lots of dark wood trim, low ceilings with exposed beams, huge stone fireplace, overstuffed chairs and sofas – it is the epitome of rest and relaxation. Grace, Maria, and the exceptional staff are like old friends who are truly happy to see you and go out of their way to make your stay as lovely as possible. This was our third stay here, and each time it gets better. If you need to escape from the real world for awhile, this is the place for you and your lover to reconnect. And don’t forget to spend some time in the rainbow Adirondack chairs – the view, especially in the fall, is spectacular! - Hampton, NH
Our weekend at the Highlands Inn put us in a nurturing frame of mind, for us to keep close when we get back to the "real" world. We met the most wonderful women and were rejuvenated by the beautiful room decor, the mountains and the hot tub. Not to mention Jackie's banana bread! Thank you for the Highlands Inn--it is such a special place. We are happy to have found you and look forward to hopefully coming back for many years. - Hudson Valley, NY
Just wanted to thank you and your lovely partner for a wonderful time. We spent 2 nights in your fabulous inn and found it simply charming and so peaceful. The atmosphere was so refreshing. It's nice to be amongst like-minded people. Expect us back soon. - Ontario, Canada
Our first visit to Lesbian Paradise - here with our pals from North Carolina, ringing in the New Year on our skis. Great food, great friends, in a place that is better than our dreams! Thanks, Grace! - Seattle, WA
We fell in love over and over again in your beautiful Inn. The romantic atmosphere is calming, soothing, and welcoming. It's home. - East Haddam, CT
The Highlands Inn is such a safe haven, such a very special place. The atmosphere, the friendliness and the amenities that you take pride in providing are very much enjoyed and appreciated. We were able to relax (let's hear it for the outdoor jacuzzi!), sleep, laugh and shop to our hearts' content last weekend. We really needed all that. - Quebec, Canada
