North Conway, NH, Columbus week 10-17 Oct’25, Eastern Slope Inn (ESI)
Our timeshare in this destination is the best value for a visit to a venue with 100s of deep discount factory outlet stores in a true tax-free state. Without this economic reason, there are many other reasons to see this popular leaf-peeper destination, particularly via the Chief Kancamagus Trail (highway) that winds through spectacular vistas of the White Mountains. Mount Washington is the site of the highest recorded wind speeds and the earliest cog railway that inspired the Swiss. The mighty Saco River begins nearby in a spring-fed pond and passes through our ESI property before it winds through Maine to Kennebunkport. That pond is a stop on the Conway Scenic Railway that also passes through our property. We have been owners in many Gold Crown units at the ESI/Attitash resort since 1999, and our current property is the best of all because it is in the West Wing of the main Inn with the most amenities and located in the centre of the historic venue of North Conway. Necessary groceries and churches are a couple of blocks east and west of the resort, or more choices are a short drive away.Our extra-large one-bedroom unit sleeps six; one king bed, one queen murphy bed, and a queen sofabed. The attached studio has a partial kitchen and a king bed with direct outside access.These two units combine into a two-bedroom lockout, which is unique at the Inn because there are no adjoining guests beside or above; it is the former Austrian ski school and mountaineering club. Therefore, as the newest suite, unlike 90% of the historic units at the resort, it meets all fire and hospitality codes, it is allowed a full kitchen with oven, convection microwave, ensuite laundry, and free adjacent parking. The garden view includes a little theatre, picnic area with gazebo, brick gas BBQ, social firepit, large children’s play gym, clay tennis courts, indoor pool and gymnasium. The unit is steps away from the main lobby and an on-site brick oven flat-bread company, as well as local coffee shops, wine bars, and restaurants. The historic two-story Zeb’s General Store is a welcome step into the past.Columbus weekend is celebrated with two well-attended county fairs and local competitions for the most creative pumpkin people displays all over the nearby towns. This alone would be worth the visit.
