The kitchen area and living room space were great, we cooked our dinner together and even watched a movie with the DVD player provided. The only downside to the cabin was that it was really cold in the living room area. We could feel the chilly air coming through the windows and ice was forming on the windows within the cabin. We bundled up and made the best of the cabin at night. But the freezing weather didn't damper our experience, we're definitely recommending the cabins to our friends and will be back in the summer! Thank you for letting us stay at the cabins and experience the perfect wintery getaway in New Hampshire!!

Whether you are looking to leaf peep the beautiful New England foliage, kayak the rivers, or play in the snow-- this place is the perfect place to stay at. One tip, an amazing spot to take photos is right up the road called The Basin, not mention quick access to Franconia Notch, and multiple waterfalls. Owners Dan & Bill are the sweetest people, they are kind, attentive, and passionate about making their cottages feel like home (but wayyy better)! The entire property has a very magical feel to it. Each little cottage has its own character, and each is cleaned impeccably. You'll have all the things you need to have a wonderful time, don't worry because they've remembered every detail! It's quiet, and charming here, in the summer there is even a pool to take dip in. They provide firewood to have a warm, cozy fireplace. I promise if you stay here, you will be very happy you did. What are you waiting for-- book it already! Five stars all the way!!!

This is not spelled out by Resort Pass. The pass gives you access to the resort's pools, very small man- made lake, fitness facilities, racquet club, locker rooms with free lockers, bathrooms, and changing rooms. I searched but did not find any shower facilities in the changing rooms/ locker room area. The outdoor pool is large and clean. There are ample tables with umbrellas. None of the lounge chairs have umbrellas near them. Umbrellas for loungers would be ideal! There are ample, clean, soft towels available. There is a bar in the bottom of the Boathouse event facility. They have mixed drinks, various non- alcoholic lemonades, beer, wine, and hard cider. You can order food for delivery to the pool area from Butch's deli via touch screen right at the bar. Eventually the pool area became quite busy and loud. We ordered food from Butch's. It was very generously portioned, quickly delivered, and delicious. Sandwiches were $15/ea and came without sides but were very large per each of our party's members. Staff were very friendly and kind. As the pool became busier, and louder it was less relaxing. We didn't try the fitness center nor the fee for use water amenities on mini lake Harold. We did not golf nor utilize any racquet sports. Both are also fee for use. We did not try the hot tub as it was very warm out already. Other than wishing for shower facilities and umbrellas for the lounge chairs this was a very lively experience with three generations of our family.

Perfect little gift, great shop with many beautiful items, and Alicia will help you with whatever you need!

Was looking forward to sitting in the jacuzzi in our "penthouse" the whole weekend. Well I decided, because of horror stories of Jacuzzis in hotels, that I was going to run a bottle of bleach with warm water through it when I got there. The jacuzzi was nasty the amount of dead skin and black mold that came out just from that was disgusting. The office sent housekeeping up to the room to clean the jacuzzi. And took half off our first night since we couldn't use it. We'll I decided to pull off the jets and look to see if they cleaned. Nope. I took a toothbrush and bleach and scrubbed every single jet. This is my vacation. I have worked my ass off this summer and paid alot of money to literally scrub a jacuzzi to use ONE time! Will NEVER go back and will NEVER recommend to anyone. If you're reading this and are in CH133B this week. The jacuzzi is nice and clean. You're welcome.

A heavenly sight, enhanced by hundreds of white lights along the path down the hill, on the perimeter of the huge banquet tent, and lighted torches along the river side. Enjoyed a spectacular Farm-to-table buffet. Bottom line: everyone attending expressed the view that this was the most elegant, beautiful wedding they ever attended!

When we parked at the section we were assigned, my friend was told there's a X car limit per party. Somehow, we managed to get parking, but it wasn't in front of our complex since there were several vehicles scattered in the lot. Inside the room, were 2 single beds and 1 that can be shared. The bathtub was so small that one of my legs had to be on the outside if I wanted to sit down. There is a kitchen available if you choose to make your own meals. There's also Wi-Fi (password in a binder). The quiet time isn't enforced at all, our neighbors could be heard partying the night away. At the main office of the resort, there's a pool and sauna. There's also a gym, but not much to work with unless you enjoy cardio. My only complaint is the lack of restaurants nearby, but other than that, I'd definitely come back.

Stayed here for a work-related getaway this winter and it's really quite impressive. It's…read moredefinitely the type of place I would love to revisit during the summer while I could see the property in full bloom, though it was really beautiful covered in a blanket of snow. The estate is made up of several buildings. There is a large mansion with lots of bedrooms (I think I counted 8 at least, not including a little hidden alcove with a real-life hidden room behind a bookshelf!), most of them with private bathrooms, though not all of them including showers, and with a variety of sleeping arrangements. Some had large beds, some with bunk beds, all of them comfortable. We got a bunk bed room but the mattress was great and there were real feather pillows. This main building has a large dining space with a piano, two big fireplace sitting rooms, and a beautiful industrial size kitchen with all the things you need to cook for a crowd. The smaller buildings include a barn with several bedrooms, another smaller house with its own kitchen, and a large theater which also may have had a bedroom or two, but I didn't get a chance to look around there. All of the buildings were very well maintained, impeccably clean, and spacious for a crowd. I can see why people would have an intimate 40-person wedding or family reunion type gathering here. I did find the artwork in the main building to be interesting - lots of different styles and not all from the same period. I'm not an artist so it was more interesting to me than anything but if you're looking for something very cohesive or a certain style you might be a bit surprised. Also - lots of signage. Something about a thousand signs of Do's and Don'ts everywhere makes me worry that the ownership is overly anxious about the property, but maybe they've had big issues with boarders in the past, I don't know. We had a really fantastic breakfast prepared by the staff/curators; it was beyond opulent with fresh fruit, breakfast pastries and breads, ham and egg sandwiches, sausages, yogurt, and some sort of a breakfast pasta that really made me go HRMMM to look at but when my husband convinced me to give it a try I was humbled by how tasty it was. Tasted like... breakfast pasta. Ha! That evening, the staff made an amazing bonfire out on the grounds, complete with warm blankets, Ghirardelli s'mores, hot cocoa, and truffled popcorn. As we were wrapping up for the night out there, suddenly there was a fireworks show that even our event organizer for the weekend didn't know about. Very lovely and unexpected. My one BIG issue that I wish could be addressed was the navigation issues in getting there. For the most part, people had no problem driving there, but my husband and I used Google Maps and Apple Maps to navigate there on both our phones and not only is the cell service practically nonexistent up there in the mountains, both of those apps took us to what felt like the middle of nowhere on rural unpaved, streetlight-less roads. This happened to a couple other members of our party as well. It actually took us an extra hour of driving around anxiously in the dark trying to find the place and to several dead end and unplowed roads. The website itself doesn't give any clear directions to the estate, though it does give coordinates for flying your personal helicopter there... I don't have that option these days, though. :)

This place is gorgeous. Unfortunately, the owner, Stacy, is not. I attended a wedding there in the…read moresummer of last year, and the memories of the bride crying on her wedding day made me come back to this review and edit this. Stacy is militant about cleanliness. And being personally part of the cleanup crew I can attest to the job we did after the wedding. However Stacy dug into the trash and found cigarette butts and charged the bride $150 PER BUTT to the tune of several thousand dollars. In the middle of the reception. The inappropriately dressed staff kept the brides mother from entering the main house to use the bathroom. She's 95. He found a leaf in the hot tub and charged her for cleaning the tub. Which, if you're a respectable establishment. You should be cleaning that anyways, between EVERY guest's stay. Several times in the lead up to the event Stacy threatened to cancel the event leading to multiple breakdowns - emotional, not automotive. He maintained a persistent presence in the house during the stay of the bridal party, which was annoying. The bride and groom have been in a protracted battle with Stacy to get their security deposit back. The bride just wants it to be over. The unfriendliness of the staff, the rules imposed, considering the exorbitant price paid - tens of thousands of dollars. I would not recommend this place to anyone.
