Magic in the Mountains: One Weekend, Two Towns, Total Magic
Stay for the Magic: A Holiday Weekend in Trinity
Forget the traffic and the late-night drive. The secret to experiencing “One Weekend, Two Towns, Total Magic” is simple: Book Your Stay First!
This year, don’t just visit the Mountain Magic Christmas (Nov. 28) and the Lewiston Bridge Lighting (Nov. 29)—dwell in the holiday spirit. Our small-town setting offers big charm, where the roads wind through the pines and friendly faces greet you downtown. Because we’re rural, ride-share services like Uber or Lyft aren’t available. Plan ahead for transportation or make your getaway extra cozy by booking a local room and staying close to the holiday fun.
Rooms book up quickly for this beloved weekend, so use this guide to secure your holiday home base today!
