A country store, an Italian kitchen, an NH check station, and four cabins. All run by one family, all on one property in Bath, NH.
Swiftwater Way Station has anchored this corner of Bath for decades. Country store, homemade Italian kitchen, official NH deer and turkey check station, four cabins on the property. Same family runs all of it.
Locals and hunters carry us through every off-season. Mud season in the spring, after the skiers head home but before tourist summer kicks in. Deep winter when the roads are quiet. Late October when the leaf-peepers leave and the woods go silent. That's when the regulars and the hunters fill the parking lot. They show up before dawn for coffee and Portuguese muffin breakfast sandwiches, check in their deer or turkey on the way out, and come back for dinner.
We built this side of the business around them. NH deer and turkey check station. Hunter cabins steps from the counter. Buck Pool and Turkey Pool. Hunter Wall in the store and online. Catering for hunting camps. Whatever the community needs from a hub like ours, we try to be it.
There are plenty of country stores. There aren't a lot of places where you can check in your deer at 7 AM, walk 100 feet to a homemade lasagna for lunch, and sleep in a cabin on the same property, all run by the same family.
That's the whole pitch. Convenience for hunters. Real food. Real beds. Real people behind the counter. No tourist trap, no chain.
Voted #1 Best Country Store in New Hampshire by WMUR Viewers' Choice three years running: 2024, 2025, and 2026. We're proud of the three-peat, but the regulars and the hunters are what we really measure ourselves against.
