Way, way, way up, just below the Mount Rosebrook summit opposite New Hampshire’s mighty Presidential Mountains, a new building is now visible, glinting in the fall sunlight.
This, the Rosebrook Lodge, is the venerable Omni Mount Washington Resort’s brand-new 16,000-square-foot on-mountain, up-mountain dining and event space. It opened at the beginning of fall, tentatively, though, with limited service due to the pandemic restrictions.
Still, Rosebrook Lodge had at least a couple of weddings under its belt by Columbus Day Weekend, a very popular time for leaf peepers and pre-ski season travelers in this remote northeastern New Hampshire region.
