Winter is in the rear-view mirror, the color is returning to the world, and it's the best time for a spring fling away from home. But where to go? If you're like me you'll want to be in a place where you can get outside to enjoy the warm weather and changing seasons. Here are seven destinations that I think will fit the bill, and all of them make for excellent New Hampshire spring getaways.

1. Eagle Ridge Log Home At Newfound Lake, Hebron

Overlooking beautiful Newfound Lake, this stunning log home is close to springtime activities like hiking at Mt. Cardigan, nature walking at Grey Rocks Conservation Area, and kayaking on the lake. There's also a hot tub for staying warm on those crisp spring evenings. Please note that pets are not permitted.

2. The Barn, Canterbury

Surround yourself with nature at this converted barn built from salvaged and repurposed items that's tucked away in the trees. Located within miles of wooded forest, it's a perfect spot to explore the change of the seasons. At the main house, enjoy the company of horses, cattle dogs, and other farm animals.

3. Tiny House, Gilmanton

Downsize your getaway at your very own tiny home. This cozy home comes complete with a roof deck and fire pit, and is situated o a historic farm in New Hampshire's Lakes Region. Animals such as horses and roosters will keep you company, and riding lessons are available (on the horse, not the rooster).

4. Waterside Cottage, Haverhill

Relax by a 32-acre spring-fed pond at this quaint waterfront cottage. Read, fish, listen to the resident loons, or simply do nothing to fully recharge during your stay. Located on the edge of the White Mountain National Forest, great hiking and biking opportunities are nearby.

5. A Hiker's Haven In The White Mountains, Chatham

The Evans Notch region along New Hampshire's border with Maine is one of the most beautiful areas of the state. It's also a mecca for hikers due to the vast hiking trail network and stunning natural scenery. There is perhaps no better part of the state for welcoming spring, especially if you love to be outdoors.

6. Cottage With Pollinator Garden, Temple

Located within New Hampshire's scenic Monadnock region, this cozy cottage not only provides plenty of nearby places to get outside, but to also experience the arts, live music, and find dining. Perhaps the best feature is the cottage's pollinator garden, where butterflies, fireflies, bees, and other spring insects gather.
