LODGING AND TOURISM IN BARTLETT, NEW HAMPSHIRE
Aside from the railroad, tourism may have been Bartlett's second largest industry. We have identified about 70 historical lodging establishments, although there are probably a few more that have been forgotten. Many of the names are for the same buildings during different time periods. The various Inns and Lodgings are broken down into three separate sections as shown in the links below: As with everything else in this website, WE WELCOME YOUR INPUT for updates, corrections, additions or whatever else.

LATCHSTRING WAS ALWAYS OUT, A HISTORY OF LODGING HOSPITALITY AND
TOURISM IN BARTLETT, NH"

 The
current Mountain Home Cabins originated in the early 19th
century, probably as a stage stop. It was originally part of the Stillings family land It became the property of James and Emeline Nute They sold the business to Clifton and Lucille Garland. The cabins were built two per year starting in 1931. In the 1920's, before the cabins, it operated as a campground. Cabins being a seasonal operation allowed Lucille to be a school teacher in Bartlett and Clifton tended milking cows. The property continues to be operated by Clifton's grand children who also operate Bear Notch Ski Touring Company from the site.

The loss will be a heavy one to Mr. S., whose popular tavern and stage lines were so well known among the pilgrims to "the Switzerland of America." The fire is thought to have originated from a defective chimney. The family of Mr. S, was away at the time of the fire. The New Hampshire Patriot, Concord, NH 13 Apr 1879

In today’s terminology, that would be from about Sawyer’s Rock to the intersection of the Cog Railway Base Station Road with Route 302. It cost a little over $35,000 to build and it was functioning by late 1806.
The intent of the investors was to build a road ......snip.......The
