With the return of autumn comes a whole lot of things people look forward to all year. Cooler weather, sweaters, pumpkin-everything and, of course, fall foliage. There are lots of ways to enjoy the changing colors of the leaves, from road trips to visits to farms and orchards. But one of our favorites is a visit to this restaurant with its incredible views.

Welcome to the Carriage House Restaurant, part of the Lucknow Estate that makes up Castle In The Clouds in Moultonborough.

The property overlooks Lake Winnipesaukee way above Moultonborough and the view to the south over the lake is incredible. Especially in autumn!

There's a lot to love about this restaurant, but the deck might be the best. Overlooking the lake, it has the best views of anywhere on the property.

And the breeze on a warm fall day is unbeatable.

We'll get to the food in a moment, but we can't help but start with the views. In fact, you'll probably have the same thought when you arrive. The food certainly takes a back seat to the greens, reds, and oranges that seem to go for miles.

Inside things are rustic and cozy.

And the food? Well, that's just as great as those views. The lobster roll is a must-order. Look at all that meat!

And if you're not into seafood there's plenty for you, too. The Castle Colossal burger was a fall 2019 Carriage House special and it's a great indication of the kind of things they create here.

While lunch is their main meal, they're typically open twice a week for dinner with a great menu and some stunning sunset views.

But whenever you're here, you won't forget how incredible autumn in New Hampshire is after seeing the fall foliage in all its glory from the restaurant.
