The White Goose Inn is a New England-style bed and breakfast in Orford that has 10 rooms with queen-size beds and private baths.

The inn offers guests convenient access to state forests, bike trails, rural villages and the Appalachian Trail.
The Lake Morey Resort is located across the river on the shores of Lake Morey. The hills that surround the resort offer skiing, snowmobiling and hiking, and the resort's grounds are home to an 18-hole golf course, which has been in operation since 1929.

For those who want to relax, the resort also has an in-house spa available to its guests.
