Upon arrival, the staff was very friendly and welcoming. The room was very clean and was decorated so cutely! The breakfast in the morning was delicious and the dining room had great vibes. The location was great for a trip to Loon. This would also be a great place in the summer to explore the area!

A fantastic family owned and run Inn with a brilliant welcome. These people really care and are passionate about the guest experience. A beautiful historic property with a lovely warm ambience. Comfortable rooms, spotlessly clean and in the perfect spot for exploring the squam lake region and the northern NH scenic trails. A lot of sustainable practice and locally sourced ingredients adds to the experience.

Erika and Mike were wonderful Inn hosts with unending hospitality! Having never been to New Hampshire before Erika gave us fantastic suggestions of where to take in the fall colors as well as some local treasures. Mike is truly a great cook; making cook to order breakfasts for each guests that included fresh whipped cream. The common areas are warm and welcoming with drinks to help yourself from hot tea to wines. The suite we stayed in was well appointed; soft linens and towels and an incredibly comfortable bed. We hope to come stay again sometime in the summertime.

We sent my in-laws here for their 50th wedding anniversary. They came back raving about the place. They loved chatting with the neighbors, meeting some of the other guests, sitting on the porch and the patio, and enjoying the beautiful surroundings. They were very impressed by the breakfast and have mentioned it several times since they returned (just five days ago). My mother-in-law said, “I have been at many bed and breakfasts over the years, and this is the first one where I truly felt at home from the moment I stepped in.”
