The RiverWalk Resort: the Ultimate Family Base-Camp For Exploring New Hampshire’s White Mountains
RiverWalk Resort is an upscale, residential-style condo resort, featuring fully-equipped amenities designed for both short-term vacations and seasonal ownership. The resort is well-known for its grand grand-hotel ambience, complete with an on-site spa, an Italian restaurant (La Vista Italian Cuisine), a winery (Seven Birches Winery), and a large, lagoon-style pool that partially transforms into an ice-skating rink during the winter months.
The RiverWalk features 79 condominium-style rooms and suites, including studio suites that sleep two to four guests, to two- and three-bedroom suites that can accommodate up groups of up to twelve. The resort is designed for families with children and multi-generation family groups as well as hikers and skiers, for whom a winter shuttle takes guests directly to Loon Mountain.
Nightly rates vary widely based on the day of the week and the season. Generally, standard rates start anywhere from $250 to $400, depending on the configuration. Weeknights (Sunday through Thursday) offer the best value, while Friday and Saturday nights command a premium, especially during peak travel windows including early autumn foliage season and January and February ski season.
The RiverWalk is located within walking distance of local restaurants, ice cream shops, and sits just minutes from the hiking trails of the White Mountain National Forest and the ski slopes of Loon Mountain.
The RiverWalk’s central feature is its heated, lagoon-style outdoor pool (pictured at left) which operates year-round and includes an indoor entry point so swimmers do not have to walk outside in the cold during winter months.
For indoor entertainment, the resort provides an arcade and game room equipped with air hockey, foosball, and pool tables.
Nearby attractions include the Flume Gorge, one of New Hampshire’s top five tourism attractions (less than 20-minutes away) and Clark’s Trading Post, which features train rides and family-oriented museum exhibits. For summer water recreation, Whale’s Tale Waterpark sits just three miles north.
Visit New Hampshire thinks of the RiverWalk as the ultimate family base camp for exploring the White Mountains, given its location at the western edge of the Kancamagus Highway, New Hampshire’s Legendary, 34-mile scenic route that cuts directly through the White Mountain National Forest, with regional hiking trails, waterfalls, and scenic overlooks, and the southern end of the Interstate 93 White Mountains corridor,
In summary, the RiverWalk is the ultimate Family Resort and White Mountains Base Camp, for small families and large, multi-generation family groups, with suites for up to twelve guests. That said, for guests looking for a quiet, secluded, or romantic couples’ getaway, the RiverWalk might feel a bit too bustling, especially during school vacation weeks or peak summer weekends when the pool and lobby see high foot traffic from children.
