Reviews

The condos (which you can rent by the night or long term)are comfortable and roomy, the staff is wonderful, the location is beautiful and it just felt like home! Even though the units are condos, there is a hotel style lobby and front desk, so staff is always there for you. My grandchildren enjoyed the indoor/outdoor pool and game room.The town square is charming with a few stores, a general store and some places to eat. (although there is a complete kitchen in your condo) There are beautiful hiking trails throughout the resort. I do not know about the ski trails as I was there in the autumn, but the scenery in the autumn is breathtaking with lots of places to visit in the White Mountains. I plan to return again and again!

Upon arrival here, you would have thought you just drove into a "New Hampshire postcard"! Lovely scenery all around you. Just overwhelmingly peaceful. Autumn is just bursting in glorious colors all around the area of this hotel.
Entering the cute lobby that welcomes you with the warm and cozy crackling fireplace says, "stay a while". The warmth carries over to the reception desk where you are checked in and off to your room.
Large apartment rooms: open kitchen concept with table, chairs, and sofa and chairs. Next room, large king bed, twin with twin trundle bed. Very large 2 sink bathroom separate from tub/toilet you almost get lost. Very clean with 2 t.v.'s, plenty for everybody.
Buffet breakfast on 1st floor is just wonderful. Several nice, friendly ladies keep it stocked. Never ran out of anything! Red tablecloths brighten your day immediately. Plenty hot coffee, tea, juices, bread, Eng. muffins, and little sweet muffins. cereals, fruits, yogurts, and more, everything needed to start the day.
Bonus is having a restroom nearby. No need to rush back to your room.
Want to swim? How about a relaxing hot tub. Yes, they are here too.
No matter ski, hike, bike, walk or just plain "nothing", this is "lovely" and would stay again if returned.
Our tour bus of 50 were accommodated efficiently.
