Expanded Lineup of Inns Welcomes Cookie Lovers to the 28th Annual Inn to Inn Cookie Tour

From sugar-dusted snow scenes to warm country inns filled with the scent of fresh-baked cookies, the Inn to Inn Cookie Tour has become a beloved holiday tradition in New Hampshire’s White Mountains.

 Now in its 28th year, this self-guided celebration invites guests to step inside beautifully decorated inns, sample handcrafted holiday treats, and gather festive inspiration for baking, decorating, and gift-giving. Spanning the charming towns of Tamworth, Madison, Eaton, North Conway, and Jackson, the 2025 tour features an expanded lineup of inns and even more opportunities to savor the season.

Each inn on the 2025 tour will showcase signature cookie recipes—sweet and savory—plus eye-catching seasonal décor. Tour-goers receive a keepsake holiday recipe collection and enjoy special touches that vary by property, from sleigh rides and carolers to live music and holiday markets.

Participating inns in 2025 include:

“We are honored to welcome even more properties to the tour this year for a total of 11,” said Tim Ostendorf, Innkeeper at the Inn at Crystal Lake. “New this year, we welcome TuckAway Suites, Whitney’s Inn and The Preserve at Chocorua. Guests can now explore a wider loop of southern and northern White Mountains inns. These additions mean more opportunities to stay the weekend and more cookies to enjoy.”

“We are delighted to once again be part of the 2025 Cookie Tour,” added Jill Marineau, general manager of Purity Spring Resort. “Last year was our first year and our guests just loved it! Our team looks forward to welcoming visitors with homemade treats, warm hospitality, and the magic of the season.”

Giving Back While Celebrating the Season
More than just a festive tradition, the Inn to Inn Cookie Tour also supports a meaningful cause. Each year, participating inns donate a portion of tour proceeds to End 68 Hours of Hunger, a local nonprofit that fights food insecurity by providing meals to school children who might otherwise go without over the weekend.

“This event is a labor of love for all of us,” said Ostendorf. “We’ve proudly supported End 68 Hours of Hunger for years and have raised thousands of dollars to help children and families in our local communities. It’s incredibly rewarding to know that the joy we spread during the holiday season also helps feed kids who need it most.”

How to Attend
The best way to enjoy the tour is by reserving a VIP Lodging Package directly from a participating inn. Packages include:

  • Two nights’ accommodations
