The cabin was very well appointed and clean. It is just getting over mud season so the grounds were not in spring condition yet but very neat. Staff was pleasant and helpful. Would stay there again.

We had a fantastic stay and would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting White mountain area. Quiet place with easy access to food places. Room was very clean and comfortable. The Manager Mr. Raynor was incredibly helpful, special thanks to him!

Disappointed The property listing was very misleading. Property looked very run down. No one in the office. Finally walked around and bumped into the owner. After a short conversation , we decided to leave and find new accommodations.

Definitely a 2 star motel; old and worn but clean. With some upgrades this place could be a cool, funky stay. Mattress had us rolling to the middle of the bed. Price was definitely high for what you get.

This was a 1950's motel with no upgraded conveniences. Bathroom faucets wouldn't turn off, big black spiders in sleeping area, no hair dryer, no breakfast and no one on duty in the office.

A cozy place to rest This was a quaint, dated facility. Our room was clean and comfortable. There are a couple chairs on the front porch. This place is a little dated (a shallow, blue tub, for example). But what they don’t have for modern convenience they make up for in cleanliness and coziness. We had 3 people on our trip (husband, son, and self) and it worked well for us. All of the necessary staples were there: microwave, small fridge, closet, and tv), all in working order. If you just want a quiet, peaceful place to rest after a long day outdoors, this place is great. The manager left the key in our room for our arrival and we were able to leave it in the same place for our departure. We didn’t get to try the pool but the area was neat and the water looked great. Definitely will return for our next trip.
