For those who want to get off-road, the Mt. Washington Valley and surrounding western Maine area provides beautiful scenic trails to explore. We are blessed with not only the White Mountain National Forest to ride in, but also numerous other public lands including The Nature Conservancy's Green Hills Preserve, Echo Lake State Park and Sebago Lake State Park, to name just a few. Two nearby ski areas open in the summer to mountain bikers who are looking for lift-serviced trails. When staying at Peace With-Inn, you’ll find mountain biking for every skill level, from family friendly loops to single track.  The idyllic and inspiring scenery of lush farmlands and panoramic mountain views will leave riders feeling like they shared in something special, away from the masses, away from the chaos of busy lives.

Peace With-Inn is on a quiet country road only 3½ miles from Fryeburg Maine and 7 miles from North Conway, NH. When you stay with us, we’ll provide you the local scoop about area mountain biking trails including detailed maps and ride descriptions. Some local rides leave right from the Inn’s front door and others start only minutes away. Rides include dirt roads, double tracked snowmobile trails and gnarly single track with granny gear climbs and off-the-saddle descents. You might ride past a winding river, a remote pond, a deep mountain gorge or even the mysterious bubbling spring. A nice bonus to riding in the Fryeburg area is the relaxing flat cool-down at the end of each ride.

We also offer bike rentals at the inn. If you plan to be on the road at lunchtime, just let us know and we’ll send you off with a lunch for the trail! And when you return our friendly staff will provide you with a cold drink, a hose for your muddy bike and more suggestions for tomorrow’s ride.
