4 Stars for being better than my average expectation in the area. Very nice. Room was clean and a/c was on when we arrived. TV, microwave, refrigerator, coffee machine, and all in good repair. Owners (?) very nice at check in. Great location for visiting the Highland games, Lincoln and Woodstock. Reasonable price. 12 motel rooms and 6 "cabins" w/ screened patios. 2 small things. Screen door is on a very tight spring and will whack you if you're not paying attention. Shower didn't get HOT - it's 85 degrees today so no biggie. Will be back if possible next year.

Very cute as the icicle form overnight :)

This is a great place to go when you don't want to spend too much. It's close to all the NH resorts like Loon and Cannon, it's clean and has all the basic things. The reception is very nice and helpful.

Gross. Worst part is customer service. Owner made it out to be like it was a favor he was honoring my booking. Claimed to be pet friendly but freaked out I had a dog. Cottage was unclean and gross. Great location but horrible managed. I checked in at 2 it's now 6 manager has been by three times so far making sure I am paying for my dog for big and asking if I can look for others that have pets that may not be paying for them. The harassment by management has got us looking for another place to stay. Great loacatiion. Managed by idiots. Cleanliness is horrible. Sweeping out our sheets. Ciggerttte burns on everything

Came with our dog since they accept pets! Took pics directly behind the property

Absolutely LOVED our stay here. I'll be the first to admit that I wasn't expecting much since we were just going for one night but this will be our go-to place from now on. The gentleman at the front desk was very warm and inviting. He let us check in early and gave us a few tips on where to eat and go in the area. We requested a room facing the river and were NOT disappointed. Our room was perfect since one window was facing the river and the other was facing the woods. I'll be requesting that specific room from now on so I can't tell you which it is because it's too perfect, lol (okay, okay. It was room 7). It had a king sized bed, fridge, microwave, AC and was VERY clean. The river is directly behind the motel so make your way down when you visit and be sure to keep the window open at night so it can lull you to sleep ;-) Best of all- the price was reasonable, the location was beyond ideal (a stone's throw away from Franconia Notch State Park and Woodstock Brewery) and they accept pets!!

I would say it's ok place for the price of $119 for the room with king size bad. I stay here for one night and it's wasn't too bad. This place look terrible from outside especially if you can see great hotels with pools and playground for kids across the street. Room has TV, nice and clean shower, phone ( was all in dust. Seems like they didn't clean it for long time) nice and comfy bad, some table and refrigerator ( was standing on floor?? look really bad and don't feel like putting stuff in it. They could use a small table. Would be much better) But no internet? Com on it's 21 century. Whole hotel is very old so it's has specific smell as soon as you enter inside. And it's really hard to find where to plug in computer because as I mention house is old and not everything works. The good part that this place is very close to Flume George and bus stop is right outside of the hotel And I just LOVE the view from outside of my window. Like a small river so when you leave window open you can hear the sound of water. Just beautiful. It's not the best place but it could be worth. So if you don't have choice and you need to stay for night but you don't want to spend a lot of money i would come to this place. By the way adrdress of this hotel is 572 U.S 3 Lincoln, NH 03251

Me and my fiance have stayed at The Kancamagus Lodge twice now, and we enjoyed our stay there both…read moretimes. Danielle, who works in the office, was very kind. She answered any questions we had and even gave suggestions on things we could do in the area. The office has coffee via a Keurig as well as a microwave for guests to use. We stayed in one of the rooms with a king bed and a balcony, which has a view of the mountains. It was nice to hang out on the balcony and relax after spending the day out. The room also has a table, a coffeemaker, TV and air conditioning. There's also a restuarant attached to the lodge downstairs(The Grateful Skier), which is convenient if you're looking for something to eat or get some drinks. They had trivia night and live music night during our stay, which we enjoyed. Definitely check The Grateful Skier out while staying here. The lodge also has an indoor pool, which I believe is open all year long. The pool area is warm(you can feel the difference in temperature as soon as you step foot in the room). The pool is big and we enjoyed our time in it(we went in the morning and it probably helped that no one else was there lol). Overall, The Kancamagus Lodge is a great inexpensive lodging option if you're staying in Lincoln, NH. The prices for what they offer is a great deal. Besides the things I already mentioned, they're also a great location as there's many things to do in close proximity, whether it's restuarants, stores or seeing the gorgeous nature of the area(The Lost River Caves, The River Gorge, etc). This is our go to place whenever we're staying in the area!!

We did not use the TV, the restaurant or the pool. We would gladly stay again.

The breakfast crew is also at the top of their game. Helpful and made sure there was plenty of food for guests. Housekeeping had the room clean as can be and if you needed something, it was at your door before you knew it. Whomever does the hiring needs to train the staff at Hotel Indigo in North Conway. NH. They could use the training.

I have stayed at dozens of Holiday Inn's and most of them see us roll up on bikes and say, "Hey, feel free to park under the canopy." Not here. Wasn't that impressed with the check in experience either so it tracks. Not sure if it's policy at this location or the manager just doesn't like bikes. We woke up to wet bikes since it was raining. Thanks! This location has a hot tub that we were really looking forward to but it was the dirtiest hot tub I've ever seen. There were brown crumbs or pieces of some sort in the bubbles on top of them...it looked like dirt, I have no idea what it is...I should have zoomed in and taken a photo, I could probably do that with an existing photo that I took from out further. We usually need a couple extra pillows and they wouldn't give us any of those either. So this really does make it the least accommodating Holiday Inn Express I've ever visited. Aside from those problems everything else was pretty typical. Room was clean. No real soaps or shampoos, just those bottles bolted to the shower and sink. Breakfast was typical. They actually had bacon which a lot of them only have sausages. I would stay here again but only if someone else better around the same price range wasn't available.

They congratulated us once we arrived and they even had champagne in the room waiting!!! Stayed in the Koru Room which was extremely nice. Had your own bathroom and plenty of room. The breakfast in the morning was out of this world!!!! As for location, it is less than a minute away from the main strip in Lincoln, we were able to go to Loon Mountain, ice staking, the local Brewery, and the Ice Castles... all of which where under a 5/10 minute drive. Again, CJ and Carly were amazing hosts. Being our first time they both made us feel so comfortable and relaxed. We had some great conversation with them and they made us feel at home! I wish them all the best and again would recommend staying here.

The main part of the house is very small but nice with little stocking of the beverage "amenities". First impression of the room was disappointing for several reasons but the main first impression was that it was not cleaned well nor do the owners care if it's cleaned well. The bathroom was the first real impression where a filthy shower mat hung on the towel rack, the hand towel had crust on it and a dried, unwashed blood stain on the comforter. iTrip, who is "managing" this place was very prompt about returning my emails UNTIL I responded to THEIR email asking about my stay. Crickets. I'll include photos. There are plenty of other gorgeous places to stay in Lincoln....don't give your money to Red Sleigh Inn.

We had a 1-bedroom standard unit, where the AC is only in the bedroom--but for that time of year, it wasn't an issue at all. If you book a deluxe room, there's AC units throughout the unit. The resort itself was great, and my family loved it. Since it was still early in the season, the outdoor pool wasn't open yet, but we made full use of the indoor pool. One thing that really stood out to me was how well they maintain everything. When the pool closed, the maintenance team came in right away to test and balance the water in both the pool and the hot tubs for the next day. It's little details like that that show how much they care about the property. A month later, we used the free week we received for attending the Vacation Club presentation and stayed at a nearby hotel. Unfortunately, that hotel didn't compare--limited amenities and a dirty pool. The big difference? As Vacation Club members, we were still able to use Pollard Brook's amenities during that stay. When we came back for day use, the staff was just as friendly and helpful, and everything--from the pools and hot tubs to the sauna and game room--was clean and well-maintained. Overall, I would strongly recommend both Pollard Brook and the Vacation Club. Being able to use the amenities at any of their properties as a member adds a lot of value and really enhances the experience.

We stayed last week (week after 4th of July), I am pleased to say the resort wasn't super busy and the weather ended up working out perfectly for the things we had planned, regardless of the rain. The staff was very friendly and helpful to our needs. They have two outdoor pools and two indoor pools, 2 hot tubs ( one for 21+ which I thought was a good idea) also a hot tub outside with a beautiful view of the mountains. They also had 2 game rooms but one of the rooms none of the games were working which was a bummer for our rainy day. The views were awesome and the best part about this resort is it's literally within 5 miles of most things, grocery stores, restaurants, ice cream, convenience stores etc. Also was not even a mile down the road from alpine adventures which was our main attraction. The only thing we didn't like was their recycling policy was a bit much, although I do appreciate the concern for eco friendly, it would have been nice to have someone come pick up the recycle and sort through it. Their policy is 3 different colored bags for 3 different types of recyclables and you have to sort it out and take them all out of the bag when you go to the recycling center, which I ended up driving too because I didn't want to walk that far with trash bags in my hands. But overall, the stay was great, the views were beautiful and the staff was friendly and they had a full kitchen and a pull out queen in the living room which was perfect for our stay! Also the air conditioning worked perfectly fine! Would definitely stay here again!

This place was built in the 1970's and nothing much has changed since. Not only are the rooms terrible, but the staff are twice as bad. The front desk is only open 50% of the time. Judging by their LinkedIn profiles it's their first time being management of anything. I'm not sure how they even got the positions. Fake it until you make it right? I've got this place on my Google Alerts to notify me when it finally falls apart. Don't even know how it has 3 stars, let alone the fake reviews you find on Google and other websites.

Claimed they kept contacting me which was not true, it was 2 emails with a mystery link they wanted me to click to pay, with a name I didn't recognize. Took 6 separate phone calls to Pemi to get to a resolution (I have everything documented). The girl on the phone was super useless, couldn't give me a name, contact, manager info, but insisted I click the link. Yea mkay. Been staying here for 20+ years, won't ever be coming back. There are much better options around the area I'll be exploring from now on, and will pass the message along. Too bad a great buisness went downhill, and quick, due to new managment who took over. It's not even the new owners that speak to you, it's a third line business that handles things. They are NOT friendly, and they lied about the amount of times they contacted me, only to threaten to take me to court. I have everything documented, now it's been settled. Never have I ever been threatened with something like this over a mistake the company made themselves. They also don't take any accountability in their responses here, so I'll be waiting to see what their excuse of a reply will be. What a joke of a place this buisness has become, what a shame, stay far away!
