What a charming home! And the beauty and the history of the home really shown through. The Halloween decorations throughout the house were amazing! Our host was so warm and welcoming! We enjoyed the privacy of our room and a delightful breakfast with travelers from other places. And, we loved the spectacular view from the lovely back patio. We will be back!

As soon as we arrived, we were greeted and given a tour by Samantha. She made my daughter and I feel right at home! Breakfast in the morning was made to order and was delicious; I sat with other travelers while my daughter slept in. This is my favorite part of the Inn experience, meeting and talking to people. The views are wonderful here and we had a very comfortable night sleep. Street noise was elevated with Bike Week happening, but Samantha provided a sound machine for the room which helped a lot. I highly recommend this quaint Inn to travelers exploring the best of NH.

The road is very loud and the room I had was a third story walk up. I didn’t realize it when I booked it. Was a real bummer to haul my heavy bag up after a long day of working.
