Meet Your Hosts

Built in 1832, the property now known as Allegory Inn has been part of the Twin Mountain landscape for nearly two centuries. Through historic photographs, documents, and stories shared by former guests and local families, we're continuing to piece together its long and interesting history.

1832 — The Beginning
The original farmhouse was built in 1832, long before Twin Mountain became the year-round destination it is today.

Early 1900s — The King Family Era
The property was once part of a much larger estate associated with the King family. Historic photographs in our growing collection show the property operating as an inn or lodging house by at least the 1920s, when it was known as King Cottage.

The family's connection to the area can still be seen today in nearby King's Pond, located behind the Inn.

Mid-1900s — Generations of White Mountains Visitors
Photographs and memories shared with us tell of families returning to King Cottage for summer vacations over many years. Like many traditional White Mountains lodging properties, it became part of generations of family trips to the mountains.

1970s & 1980s — Another Chapter
We've heard stories that the property offered long-term room rentals during portions of the 1970s and 1980s. We're still researching this period and hope to learn more from people who remember the property during these years.

Later Years — Harmony Mountain Abode
In a later chapter, the property operated as Harmony Mountain Abode. Its owners brought their own character to the property, including Swiss-inspired touches that could still be found throughout the Inn when we arrived.

2024 — Allegory Inn's Next Chapter
We became the owners of Allegory Inn in December 2024. Today, we're working to preserve the character and history of this 1832 property while thoughtfully updating it for a new generation of White Mountains visitors.

The old railroad bed behind the Inn has also found a new purpose. Today it forms part of the area's trail network, providing direct snowmobile access to Corridor 11 in winter, while our private trail toward King's Pond and the Ammonoosuc River can be enjoyed during the warmer months.
