Backside Inn, now The Brook Road Inn, is a historic lodging at 1171 Brook Road in Goshen, New Hampshire. It sits on about 4 acres in a rural area just west of the Brook and Dubois roads. The building began in 1835 as a plank-framed farmhouse with 3-inch wooden walls and clapboard siding, and it has a gabled roof with front dormers and a rear shed dormer. A larger two-story wing was added later, and a porch runs along part of the front. The main entrance is in the leftmost bay of the wing. The house was used as a hunting lodge in the 1920s, and the wing was enlarged in the 1950s or 1960s. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985 for its association with a cluster of plank-frame houses in the area. The name comes from its location on the "back side" of the Mount Sunapee resort area.
