In the white mountains of New Hampshire, just south of the Canadian border, a jumble of hotel buildings and lodgings of differing heights, all festooned with gables and turrets, and containing 204 rooms; the complex is backed by mountains but looks onto lawns that slope down to a broad lake and boathouse. It occupies a 15,000 acre site of untouched wilderness larger in size than the island of Manhattan, and has been accepting visitors in a tiny earlier resort structure since 1866, but really got its start as a major facility in 1918.

 
At The BALSAMS there are always more things guests want to do than time to do them. 

Each season has its special charm and there are an enormous variety of activities available.

 

Summer activities are all the standard outdoor recreations, and include two golf courses (one famous course designed by Donald Ross of 18 holes, another nearer course of nine holes for warming up,) tennis, boating and fishing on the lake, horse-drawn hayrides, mountain biking, aerobic exercises, a heated outdoor swimming pool, natural history programs throughout the year, and hiking. Winters, all attention turns to cross-country skiing, for which it is famed, on nearly 40 miles of marked, cross-country trails. There is also downhill skiing on 13 trails, snowshoeing and ice-skating on a lighted rink (open 'til 11pm). There is fine dining throughout, including a particularly impressive luncheon buffet; a movie theatre; and nightclub entertainment and dance music in three rooms. 

The Rebirth of the Legendary Balsams Resort

The Balsams Resort has received the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers approval in 2015. A total of eight individual land parcels will be protected, including 133 acres of high profile ridgeline terrain along Sanguinary Ridge. In addition, the Balsams Resort will give the State 92 acres of high value land abutting Dixville State Park.  The plan also includes expanding The Balsams Wilderness Ski Area into the largest and most technically advanced ski resort on the East Coast. 

The $130,000,000 development by Dixville Capital is the most ambitious development project seen in New Hampshire in many years.
