"We had a nice two day stay at the Inn. We had a beautiful king room on the second floor. The bathroom was small but clean and functional . We had dinner both nights at the restaurant/bar. The food and drinks were delicious. The first night we had live entertainment with the open mic night. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The weekday breakfast was a little sparse, but did the trick. The weekend breakfast menu offered a few more hot options. We have stayed at The Franconia Inn many times, and we will be back again!"

The weather was perfect, and between the pool and the hot tub, the young kids were outside the whole time, easily supervised by the older kids and adults. The main gathering room was also perfect for evenings playing games and watching TV. The views and grounds are also special. I definitely recommend it."
