She charged a reasonable amount, sent a photo of the arrangement, and confirmed delivery. The only drawback was that Janet was not set up for credit card payment.

We had the barn and inn from Thursday to Sunday which allowed for a wedding weekend we will never forget. On wedding day when we had an issue with a vendor, the King's Hill team went above and beyond to find a solution. King's Hill Inn will forever hold a place in our hearts. *On a side note one of the other reviews mentions no heat in the barn- this is not correct. The barn is heated and was turned on when our October wedding became crisp at night.

The entire home is clean, fresh and peaceful. It's on a quiet road set on a hillside. The landscape is lovely and lush. The grass is thick and green, the gardens are a delicate dotting of pastel colors that compliment the home perfectly. The barn is.. well.. stellar. It's old old old, but it is SO well taken care of. It has the most gorgeous wood flooring and it has.. wait for it-- A FIREPLACE! *swoon* Y'all.. the sunset is breathtaking. You can look over to the west and see the mountains just being cloaked in the golden hour of sunset, not a single thing disrupting the ambiance, with a soundtrack of a trillion peepers all around. Safe to say, it is a true gem. It's fun, it's beautiful, it's exactly where you want to have a special event like your wedding or family reunion. Also, a bonus- the sweet owners are photographers who are undoubtedly gifted and clearly love what they do.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay at Hillside Cottages, with a few caveats. The place was hard to find…read moreand didn't have a lot of information about things to do in the local area. Furthermore, we didn't realize that Norway was definitely the kind of place where a rental car or pre-booked transportation would have come in handy - it isn't easy to walk around nor are there a lot of options for taxis or food delivery. However, the cottage itself was lovely and quaint, perfect for a couple on a romantic weekend looking to stay indoors or merely enjoy the on-property scenery. We stayed in the MacIntyre which was one of the larger cottages - it featured a bedroom and pullout sofa, a gas fireplace and a roku tv. There was a decent sized balcony with chairs that looked out into the property scenery, facing the main road. The kitchen was equipped with a large variety of cookware, but there was little other than coffee to indulge in. The owners were kind and did their best to accommodate our questions. Grateful for a nice weekend.

Joe Dodge Lodge has been the absolute HIGHLIGHT of our trip. We had initially planned on 3 nights…read moreat 3 different huts and just our 1st night at Joe Dodge--but the weather took a shocking and ugly and dangerous turn at our first hut, so we were so happy they modified our reservation and we could finish out our trip there. The food: AMAZING! All you can stuff your face with, mostly healthy, hearty, comforting and DELICIOUSLY made meals. Great bread, salads, pasta, soups for dinner and all the fixings for a FULL breakfast: eggs, bacon, French toast, pretty much anything you want! Staff: Gracious, kind, reassuring. The folks in the gift shop and front desk were WONDERFUL & they KNOW the trails and the mountains & were so patient with us--being new to hiking. Our actual hikes were TOUGH....ass-whipping, really....I almost cried tears of joy just hobbling back to the quiet and warm solitude of the Lodge (the huts are waaay different--not for introverts who crave quiet and aren't "super social".). This was my favorite part of staying at the Lodge; you can tell solo hikers could find others to connect with --if they wished--but you and your honey could ALSO dine in a full room of strangers and still not feel pressured into interacting with others if you didn't want to. Sorry for the rambling review but I can't believe this place doesn't have more recent reviews and I hope it gets all the accolades it deserves!

The price of the lodging is not cheap as you pay per person for a bunk bed set up with shared bathroom, but they offer a lot of services that make up for it including all you can dinner and breakfast buffet as well as the ability to borrow gear for the hike (I borrowed a smaller back pack and trekking poles). The staff is super friendly and informative. They also have a cozy library towards the back of the lodge equipped with a fire place and comfy lounge chairs. Would definitely consider staying here again.

I stayed at Carter Notch Hut last weekend - what a great experience! (Note: I stayed during the…read moreself-service season, so my review reflects that experience.) The only way to get to the hut is to hike to it. There are a couple different trails you can take, but after consulting the AMC's website, we decided to take 19 Mile Brook Trail. It's the shortest trail, and I believe the easiest as well. It's 3.8 miles with around 2000' of elevation, so not super challenging - a good first hike of the season though. It is fairly rocky for the second half. When we arrived at the hut, we were greeted by the friendly hut caretaker. There weren't a huge number of reservations for the night, so my boyfriend and I were allowed to choose our own room. The "hut" is actually four buildings - a main lodge sort of building, with a dining area and kitchen, two bunkhouses, and a bathroom. Our room had four bunk-beds with mattresses and pillows. Each bunk also had a small battery-operated reading light (though a couple weren't working). There's no electricity or heating in the bunkhouses. I wasn't sure how cold the room would get at night, since it wasn't heated and I'm always cold. I brought a sleeping bag rated for 35 degrees, and I think it got down to around 35 or 40 that night. I was toasty warm, and ended up having to unzip my sleeping bag. The bathrooms were SO CLEAN. It was incredible. A++ job to the caretaker. The bathrooms have lights, running water, and pit toilets. We had full use of the kitchen to make our dinner. There's a fridge, a stove, an oven, potable water - it was really pretty similar to a kitchen at home. You do need to pack out your trash though, so be mindful of that. Peoples dinners ranged from dehydrated backpacking meals to steaks with bottles of wine. The crowd at the hut was a friendly, conversational bunch. If you're a social person who likes the outdoors you'll fit right in. There are some games and books in the hut for guests to use and read. They had cards, checkers, bananagrams (sans rules, which made for an interesting game), and others. Lots of nature guides - everything from trails to information on wild mushroom. We spent the drive back planning our next hut adventure - can't wait to return!
