Disliked: Cleanliness
The room was not clean, mildew and scum in bathtub. Hair around sink.Mirrors never cleaned covered in spots . Friends room had many things wrong upon arrival. Location is nice and if you want to have a spot where nobody bothers you. Changed towels daily which was nice but came into room when you were gone. Definitely need some new house keepers.

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.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.
