A perfectly fine if old and a bit dingy. Fine for a place to crash between hikes. Can walk to a decent restaurant, just 5 minutes down the road. On a branch of the Pemi River, kids could play in it. Water low so would be very safe. I spent a half hour fly fishing, caught several small native brook trout. Shower could have been cleaner, bed was clean and comfortable.

I really liked the one bedroom cabin. It was nice to have a living room to relax in after a long hike. It could definitely use some updates to the furniture as it was pretty worn looking.

Dated but clean and comfortable.

It’s very dated and a little chilly during the winter. But I just need a few overnight stays to ski so I wasn’t looking for luxury. Very clean and comfortable. I’d stay here again for sure. However not sure my wife would.

It is one of the least expensive options , rooms are of reasonable size, with operational appliances ( Tv, coffee machine, microwave) internet is good. Convenient location for hikes in Franconia notch, walking distance to Indian head trail, 5 min drive to Lincoln and Kancamagus scenic highway. Stayed in other properties in the past but this lodging quality/ price is excellent.
