Experience the Rocks like nobody has done this century!
An extraordinary retreat nestled within the splendor of Bethlehem, NH, and revered by publications like the New York Times and Yankee Magazine, The Rocks stands as a Northern New England treasure, spanning 1400 acres of pristine landscape, rich with history and natural allure.
The Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests and Bretton Woods Vacations invites you to immerse yourself in a truly unparalleled experience. Once the summer haven of John Jacob Glessner, co-founder of International Harvester, this estate boasts breathtaking views of the White Mountains and a legacy steeped in Gilded Age opulence.
Step back in time as you wander through meticulously restored historic buildings, traverse scenic trails, and behold the beauty of an Olmsted-designed formal garden. The legacy of The Rocks endures through engaging activities, from seasonal Christmas tree cutting to the popular NH Maple Experience, where you can partake in maple tapping and indulge in syrup sampling.
