This spot was perfect for everything that we wanted to do! The Inn is fairly small- probably around 9 or 10 rooms. The hotel was pretty empty during our stay so we were upgraded to a room overlooking the lawn which was great. I can't say enough about the property. It's nestled in the hills and is just so serene. There's a small stream nearby and if we didn't have so much to explore I could have spent hours laying on the hammock on the back lawn. The inside is equally impressive - it's got a very preppy feel and I felt like I was in a Polo ad. There are lots of cozy sitting areas, fireplaces and shelves filled with books and games. The actual guest room is spacious and the bed is comfy. It's an older hotel but you can tell there were updates. The AC works well and the shower has good pressure. Because of covid there is no daily room cleaning. There is also normally a bar and restaurant onsite but it's not open because of covid. But there is still a daily breakfast for guests included in the stay. Breakfast is sit down service every day from 8-9 and comes with eggs, fruit salad, an English muffin and a meat plus coffee and juice. Always delicious and filling! Staff is also friendly. We had the same server for breakfast every morning and she was very sweet. We also saw the innkeeper Doug around periodically and he was always super friendly and helpful. The rate is reasonable and the location is great. Your about a ten minute drive from Franconia notch / echo lake / cannon mt and around a half hour from mt Washington. You can find lots of food and breweries ten minutes north in Littleton or twenty minutes south in Lincoln. We will stay here again without hesitation and I truly think it would be a beautiful and enjoyable visit during all seasons.

This year (2009-2010 ski season), the Horse and Hound is under new management and it is again one of the best apres ski and dining establishments near Cannon Mt. Don't be misinformed by the old website which is soon to be updated. The Hunt Room menu is comprehensive American Cuisine. The daily specials are a must. The portions are good. The lounge has great atmosphere, music, a well stocked bar, friendly service, free wifi (a big plus for the area) and big screen television. The area also has some of the best Alpine and Nordic skiing around. My wife and I have been there twice in as many weeks and we expect to make it a regular venue for the ski season.

The food was a 6. Beverages were short. The flourless chocolate cake was flat. Bread pudding was average. Waitress was a touch pushy. But I think she was just trying to make sure we were happy. I do think their drinks are overpriced. Example: one shot of scotch was $15.00. There was a beautiful red propane stove in our suite that was inoperative. Unfortunately, there was a very noticeable septic smell throughout the Inn. I will consider other Inns when we return.

Avoid this hotel! Our family's stay at the Best Western Inn in Franconia, NH. Was an outright…read morenightmare of a stay and the worst hotel experience my family has ever endured. Within hours of arrival, we were forced out of one filthy, unsafe room into another that was even worse. We encountered mold, broken fixtures, hotel doors with no lock, and blood-stained bedding on both the linen of all beds (what was stated to be possibly from drug users that frequent the location). Staff admitted the rooms were unfit yet failed to provide clean linens, stating cleaning service was unavailable and my wife and I would have to strip and remake blood-contaminated beds ourselves while our children slept in personal blankets in chairs due to the time of night. The situation escalated into harassment, dishonesty, and ultimately a police visit based on false claims made by staff (Kevin Jam). Management (Bija Patel/Vin Patel) upon discovering Jams harassment, mishandling, and misrepresentation of facts to Law Enforcement (which he was warned of) misrepresented their role, stating there was nothing they could do other than a 10% discount on our stay due to my family "being publicly humiliated in the hallway late at night". Upon departing, we contacted Best Western Corporate, they informed us although they utilize the Best Western name they do not recognize their affiliation. This property demonstrated severe health code violations, reckless staff conduct, and a complete disregard for guest safety and basic human decency. Avoid this hotel at all costs. When attempting a refund through Best Western they stated although the property utilizes the Best Western name they do not recognize their affiliation.

We were in the area to visit Mt Washington, perfect distance to see even more though. The mountains surrounding Hillwinds are just as beautiful. The river next to our building was a quaint babbling brook that completed the New Hampshire charm. The chairs on the walkway overlooking the river were so nice I wish I could've bought them off of the owners. The owners were nice to us, and tried to accommodate a last minute request without any gripes. They also answered all our questions about the surrounding area with a smile, even though they must tell visitors the same thing about local restaurants and attractions. Check in was fast, maybe 2 minutes. The Lodge is clearly a busy business. On a Tuesday night they had no vacancy, gladly we had a reservation for our room. Said room was clean, spacious and regardless of past reviews, the room did not have a musty smell, nor did the room need a dehumidifier. Though, it may not make a difference we had a second floor room in the riverside building. The room did have all the amenities that are detailed on their site (ie fridge, microwave, ironing board ect). The breakfast was a perfect launch of the day. A bagel, piece of fruit and coffee had us ready to hit the road. Check out was even faster than check in.

Extremely clean, room smelled clean. Besides that what I loved was the fact that you have grills available to you, there are benches near the river, they have a fire pit you can use, they supply the wood, and there is a good size pool too. They have corn holes, and a volley ball net. The grounds are beautiful and nicely maintained. They provided a light breakfast of muffins, cereal bars, orange juice and fruit cups. My only advise is pick a room on the 2nd floor because you can hear your upstairs neighbors. Thankfully by 10pm they quieted down. I highly recommend it!

The cozy feeling of having your own fireplace, nestled in the serene beauty of the white mountain area of New Hampshire, it truly is an experience. The owners are very friendly and knowledgeable. They offer a nice amount of wood priced fairly, with complementary marshmallows to roast in the fire. You can rent snow shoes also. The location is very close to all the attractions the white mountains offer. Skiing and snow mobile trails. This is a wonderful location to stay at while your in northern New Hampshire. I highly recommend this lodging to anyone who wishes to get away and relax, but close enough to all the attractions to have a great time.

We had an indoor toilet/shower, heat, running water and electricity! To me that's a luxurious cabin. Not to mention the fireplace- that was perfect to have at night for just relaxing with a glass of wine, celebrating our new engagement. Although it's somewhat close to the road, we never heard traffic, and since it's such a rural area to begin with, there's not much traffic anyway. We truly felt like we were in the middle of nowhere. There are some cabins on the other side of the creek that are slightly more secluded for people who want that.

We never heard people walking above us, and even if the 2nd floor is where the pool is located (and the hotel was full), we didn't hear too many kids running around. Kali and Tracey at reception are awesome! And - during our previous stay for 4th of July, I actually realized that they have an area to the back/right hand side of the hotel, with tables and even bbqs guests can use! Picnic tables aren't the most comfy, but I can bring my own chair from now on. We will be back soon! Love this place.

There was a man attending the dining room and that was good and very clean. The front desk person who said she was the manager was unprofessional and rude. Check your mattresses.

Check in was super…read moreeasy and she met us at the main building even though we arrived late, after normal check in hours. She had put the heat on and a light on in our cottage so it was ready for us. Room was cozy and cute, as we expected. No fluff and relatively small but has everything you need including a microwave and small fridge. Bed was okay, not super comfortable if you have a bad back or anything like that, but fine since we were tired from hiking and passed out! Housekeeping services are not provided daily which did not matter to us, just something to note since that's important to some people. The grassy area walking from parking and the main building to the cottages is a little sandy/gritty, so the floor gets dirty quickly. Wish there had been a doormat to wipe our feet before entering our room to keep it a little cleaner. Every morning for breakfast Michelleprovides fresh fruit and some sort of super fresh and delicious pastry that she makes from scratch (we had cranberry orange muffins, coffee cake, cinnamon sugar doughnut sticks and cinnamon sugar/coffee cake topped muffins). That is just the start of breakfast! She makes you literally whatever you can possibly think of and doesn't even provide a menu - if you can think of it she can make it! Throughout our stay we had breakfast sandwiches, breakfast burritos, French toast, pancakes, fried eggs, sausages and hash browns. She also even remembered after the first day that we liked ketchup with our hash browns and that I like OJ! We also ate here for a super late, small dinner one night and got Margherita pizza. The dough and sauce is home made which is why we got it! It was VERY cheesy, which can be good, but needed a little more sauce on it to balance it out. Quite tasty (although we're from NJ/NYC so we have unfair standards for pizza) and what we needed for a quick, late snack. Loved the fresh loaf of Italian bread when we sat down - again, of course, made fresh by Michelle. So doughy and warm that we actually ordered some large loaves to take home with us at the end of our stay.

When we arrived this was not the case. The exterior upkeep is minimal. There is a smell of mold/must in the main house and in the cabin we booked. There was a swarm of flies in the bathroom on our arrival and the remains of flies/bugs in all of the window sills. The bed was not comfortable. Lastly, the curtains did not close completely, leaving us feeling rather exposed. We left and stayed somewhere else last minute. Michelle, the innkeeper, has refused a refund. In response to your comments, we had several emails where I did list my complaints on the room. And I never received a phone call from you the next day. Your response is misleading. Regardless, I have never in my life left an online review before this stay which speaks to how strongly I feel. I realize I will not be refunded, although I disagree with your decision. I just felt I should share so people don't make the same mistake I made. Book here with caution.

Meri and Michael were as friendly and warm as you could hope for when traveling.

We were greeted with home made cookies and coffee and tea as well as a warm fire. There is plenty of information about things to do in the region in various areas of the home. We were in the area to see the Ice Castles in Lincoln, and for cross country skiing. Michael and Meri were also a source of ski and trail information that a brochure couldn't provide. As mentioned, we and our dogs (or our dogs and us I should say) were made to feel at home from the start. We plan to return for our summer hiking.

We came in at night, and just sat back with some drinks and hung out with everyone as our dogs socialized, too. Our puppy loved this place, as he was free to wander around and have some fun! That made us super happy, too :). This place also includes a home cooked breakfast, and free wifi. Sweeeet!

The only gripe I have would be, and this probably applies to less than 1% of people that stay there, is that there is hardly anywhere to go out for a run unless you drive to trails or the local track.
