Nicely appointed rooms and lobby area. Walls/floor insulation is very thin though. I stayed in the Pinkham Room and could hear the people in the room below me very late into the night and early in the morning. Staff is warm and welcoming and the inn is a great value for the location.

Very clean and new. Beautifully appointed. Tiny little bathroom, and I would have liked to have a dresser for my clothes but there wasn't room. The bed was soooo comfortable and the bedding was soft and luxurious. There's no office so you communicate by text and use door codes. Have to drive a ways to get food. I'd recommend this inn especially if you don't need much space. Gorgeous area of the state, close to everything in the White Mountains. I would stay again.

This property is just beautiful! I stayed in the main house on the top floor and it was very quiet the entire time I was there. My room was big and the jetted tub was amazing. The area around the property is lined with woods and they have hiking trails to access as well. Self check-in was very nice to have!

My bestie and I stayed here for 2 days before going on a cruise through Canada and we are so happy we found this little gem! We will 100% be back for our full on New England road trip next year with friends. The property is adorable and close enough to all the things but far enough away from all the city hub bub. The caretakers, Jed and Kimberly, were beyond amazing! It was hard leaving such a great little spot

First I want to comment on all the messages and emails sent to me. I must have received 40 of them. Very annoying. The last ones were direction on taking the trash out. At 100 bucks a night you should take care of that or did my mother send that message? No message to make sure we made our beds. lol Never saw anyone while there. No cleaning or towel replacement. The beds were comfortable but it was like getting out of a water bed they were so soft. One 2 prong outlet in the room w an ungrounded 3 plug 3 prong adapter. Hair dryer but no outlet in the bathroom. 7 minutes to get hot water to the room with both the shower and sink running. There were also soft spots in the floor outside the bathroom that felt like it was ready to give. Yes mom I brushed my teeth and took the trash out.

I had booked this place for our first ever family trip. We did the nostalgia night at Story Land (all Adults). We actually booked all the rooms in the Inn. let me just say The caretakers Kim and her husband are fantastic. She went above and beyond to make sure all was right with our stay. when she found out we were having a cake for 2 birthdays she offered decorations that she had. she was great with information on where to eat, things to do and great hiking trails. she is definitely an asset to the place, oh and the place was extremely comfortable as it was beautiful it has a very homie feel to it,even though the coffee area of the inn is open to the whole property it truly didn't bother us.I most defiantly will be returning.
