ABOUT GRANITESTATEVACATIONS.COM
In the beginning of 2008, four independent country inns in the Sunapee, NH region had an inspiration to join together and offer inn-to-inn bicycle tour packages since the region was so popular with cyclists. The idea rapidly expanded to include the concept of offering experiential vacations in New Hampshire centered around both the natural surroundings of the State in addition to the many crafts and activities that are available locally. The goal is for GraniteStateVacations.com to offer new packages each month to promote tourism to the Granite State.
