I stayed here right after reopening after COVID19 and I was very pleased with my entire stay! I was visiting for an anniversary, so looking for some romantic relaxation. They in room hot tub was perfect. Our fireplace was not working, however they fixed it right away so we were about to enjoy. Many of the restaurants close early, so remember to order food early! Most places only serve outside. Overall. Very romantic and enjoyable! read more

Eastern Slope Inn Resort - Hotels Near Me - North Conway, New Hampshire

Nice place to stay, very clean and very quiet. We loved our room, kitchen /dining room combo, large bathroom with washer/dryer and a large jetted tub/shower. Our living room has a sofa bed along with a tv/fireplace and a hideaway wall queen size bed. Oh and a small balcony and an A/C unit. They also provided an iron/ironing board, a broom n dust pan, a hairdryer, and a decent sized closet. The kitchen is stocked with all necessities. This room also has an abutting room, if needed for a larger family. They also supplied us with beach towels, but we didn't take advantage of their pool or the fire pits, maybe next time. Overall, nice place to stay and in walking distance to the shops and restaurants. Our only issue we had, was the wall queen bed. For us, it was too hard, we prefer softer, but I'm not going to take away stars because of that, as that may be something others may like. The check-in and out was easy. The staff was very polite and friendly. Again, nice place, would stay there again! read more

If you're looking for the experience of a rooming house (hearing all your neighbors, losing water pressure and temperature in shower when people in other rooms flush their toilets, listening as other guests "include" you in their conversation, because you all can hear everything each is saying) then this is the place for you. It smelled bad; one of the showers in our suit had a hole in the wall & a bunch of cracked tiles & a rocking toilet; the game room had giant plastic bags laying all over one of the days... it was not a nice experience. The pizza place was decent, for NH, but was only open a couple of the 7 days we stayed there. The surrounding area was touristy and might be nice if you're into shopping. There was nice hiking locally, and our small child loved the train in town. All in all, I can't imagine recommending it to friends or family. I didn't get a pic from our view, but we were right over the pizza place so the noise from their exhaust system (which was running all 7 days, despite it not being open) was very loud- we had a view of their log pile and the dumpsters. Ew. read more

Whoa, OMG, what happened to this place? I remember Eastern Slope Resort, North Conway as a classy, upscale resort. It is no longer! Hospitality and cordiality are non-existent. They have been replaced with countless rules and regulation (many signatures required) and shortened hours (Check in not til 4pm and checkout by 10am. This place is no longer worth the money... way overpriced, tourist trap. This guest will not go back. read more

After being referred by current owners, I called to inquire about potential ownership for myself at the 'resort.' My first question was asking when the unit was built and the staff had no answer to that question. After a few minutes, I was talked down upon and rejected the stay since I have no plus one to bring with me to the seminar. I'm a single investor, and own units across New England. I did not appreciate the tone or rudeness after finding out I would be coming alone. Females should support females in this business. This is not a good look. read more

The Eastern Slope Inn's Nature Trail River Walk is worth checking out for several reasons. It is a destination for fly fishing on the bank or in a boat. The fauna is exceptionally beautiful rain or shine. There is ample parking and it's free whether you are a guest of the Inn or not. The trail is not exceptionally difficult or long though it is beautiful and smells great! If you are looking to get a workout in there is an exercise circuit that will work you to the level you seek whatever it is as you can choose your level of exertion. I've driven by it a thousand times. I'm glad I finally stopped to check it out. I recommend you do so as well. read more

There are a few positives about this hotel; Great location to downtown N. Conway, easy parking, and next to Flatbreads. We came for a quick overnight so our kids could enjoy Storyland. On a 90 degree day, I would expect to be cooled off in the hotel at the end of the day, but the air conditioning in our room wasn't working. When I asked the staff for help, they gave me a box fan and said to open the window because that would make the room cooler. The next morning the hotel manager explained to us that it wasn't a traditional ac, it was a "chiller" whatever that means. The room was also a lot smaller than we expected. The bed was a full size Murphy bed which is great for one person, not three. We won't be staying here again over the summer. Plenty of hotels in the area can at least provide a working AC! read more

Stayed here for the week via RCI and loved every moment. My only concern - it doesn't seem like the people who work there know a lot or are trained well. When checking in, we asked where our room was and they gave us a very long way instead of just telling us we were down the corner - we had to figure that part out ourself which was kind of funny. So many things to do- eat pizza, go to the game room, go to the gym, go fishing, go on the trails, and they have an indoor pool and jacuzzi for swimming in the winter. Tennis and a fire pit outside (has fire pit so no hassle there). Our room was stocked with a full kitchen and laundry, there was dish soap and detergent - everything you could need to move in and plenty of parking! Honestly I wish I could've stayed longer because I had such an amazing trip. And it's right in town so you can walk to all the cute boutiques around the place ! They also have a little tour guide booth in the front I highly recommend. 100% will be coming back - really can't describe how much I enjoyed myself. Come here and you will see for yourself !! read more

Booked the hotel for 248 a night with pool hot tub restaurant gym . From all the pictures looked amazing . After booking I got an email stating that they put my wife and I a few blocks away in another resort . When we arrived they gave us the address which was a mile and a half away it was a F ing Motel . No amenities horrible scenic view 12x12 room . Would not stay there again after being rerouted to what I did not pay for . 248 a night for a MOTEL is robbery read more

We stayed at this hotel as RCI members. They sent us to the "Roberts" building because the others were full. The apartment they gave us was 24/7 filled with a fish and oil smell, probably from the Thai restaurant below. When we told them, they said to call RCI for complaints!!!! After we asked 3 times they have us an iodizer to out in the room which we read later is not healthy for us to be there!!! Also, as we arrived there was a used towel in the bathroom...we told house keeping and they said "oh ok".... read more

**** update It's only fair to acknowledge that the next day when revisiting the registration desk the very same employees were far more friendly/helpful and able to arrange for us to be moved to a different building which was a much appreciated effort resulting in a more appropriate accommodation for the $ paid. We were able to much more comfortably enjoy the rest of our stay. Review remains a 2 as the original experience was less than acceptable and for those who are not comfortable asking for appropriate accommodations this is what you should prepare for. Disappointed in our room placement. We were here in April and while I knew this place wasn't updated or as nice as staying at your traditional Marriott it was worth the trade off for the indoor/outdoor hot tub and convenience of being in town. We booked our anniversary long weekend here based on the April visit and we were placed across the street in basically a random efficiency apartment, cannot open blinds unless you want to look at this siding of the building beside you. You can hear everything the folks in the room next to us are saying, place is not nice, carpet has stains, bathrooms had more random hairs than I'd like to see, bed in bedroom is uncomfortable (might try the Murphy bed tonight) and not to mention that we would need to cross a highway to get to hot tub that we ultimately came here for. I will not stay here again unless guaranteed to be in the main building. While checking in, I did not go in but it sounded like the registration staff were less than helpful and when my husband requested to be in the main building they tried to convince him of all the reasons he didn't want to be in there. It's October 21, we know we missed the foliage and he was asked rudely "are you here for the foliage" not sure the point of the question as it was irrelevant to why we wanted the main building. However I will say that they did offer to fully refund if we wanted to leave which was surprising. Again I was aware of the condition of this resort but was happy to adjust for the amenities but in this situation being placed in the Robert's building was not a trade for amenities. read more

Been a few times over the past six months and have always had a great experience. Pool and the two jacuzzis are well maintained and kept up. No one bothers you wile in the pool and you can just enjoy yourselves. Grounds are nice and the rooms are large, clean and modern. I travel a lot and am super impressed with the suites. Always clean, shampoo and body wash in showers, jacuzzi tubs, new pull out sofas, lots of new white towels and good size pool towels. Coffee is provided and lots of kitchen stuff. We stayed over Easter and I had a two bedroom unit with a full stove and dining area. We had Easter diner for 10, it was great. read more

My favorite place to stay near Story Land, Santa's Village and when we come to Ski in the area. Every unit is different. The only units I have not enjoyed are the hotel-style units (in the main building), they are nothing special and have paper thin walls, but the standalone units have all been very good. On the plus side, if you're in the main building, it does make getting to the pool or gym easier. Since we have traded in timeshare points to stay here, we never know what we're going to get, but we have had some very great units (decent kitchens, washer/dryer, multi-floor, single floor, fire places, quiet, spacious, etc). The (indoor) pool is nice, they have both indoor and outdoor hot tubs, they have Flatbreads (awesome) pizza to the left of the lobby and I really like how the units are primarily very close to downtown North Conway, so you can pretty much leave most of the locations and walk to downtown in a minute or two (or less). They do have free Wi-Fi, which is nice, but do wish they would stop being so cheap with the slow speeds on the free service. I think the free service is limited to something slow like 1.5Mb/s. read more

My wife and I stayed here for three nights. Very friendly front desk. Anytime I had a question they were very helpful. Beautiful Library, and hallway. Room is very cozy. Location ,location ,location! You can walk to all the shops and restaurants on Main Street. The pool and hot tub is very relaxing!! This was our first but definitely not last trip to North Conway and this hotel! read more

Exceptional customer service!! We travel to North Conway every year, first time at Eastern slope inn. I booked a couple rooms, online at expedia, one for me and my wife and one for my boys, 16 and 13, during check in we were informed the rooms were in seperate buildings, no huge deal but figured we would ask about getting them closer since we are kind of nervous parents. Marina at the front desk spent some time working her magic and was not only able to get us closer but ajoining rooms in the main building. Its vacation week up here and tons of people waiting, she was super helpful, really did what she could do, showed us to our room even. The rooms were brand new construction, super clean, big and quite. Totally recommend this place! Way to shine front desk staff....and Marina read more

This is the first time we spend a week here during February school vacation. We have a two-floor one bedroom, we have 5 kids with us and are all sleeping comfy! We are on our third night and this has been great. We are close to Cranmore and they have special lift ticket prices so we will try that mountain tomorrow. Kids lift tickets through Eastern Slope Inn are only $19 for the day!!! There are great shops all at walking distance. Will come here again for sure! read more

Eastern Slope Inn Resort - Kids eating a nice pasta dinner that I cooked! - Hotels Near Me - North Conway, New Hampshire

We love this place. We own a timeshare here. Services is always great Resort is very clean and well maintained read more

We always like staying here in the fall to do some shopping go bar hopping and not have to worry about driving. Sitting by the fire in the Main lobby with a cold beer from flatbread is always a relaxing way to end your day rooms are nice and clean. We don't bring the kids when we stay here they always want to be in the hot tub with us but can't because the people at the front desk and the massholes will go wild if there's kids in the hot tub having fun. This is why we sold our timeshare here and went to there sister resort at attatash mountain where it is way more kid friendly. read more

Stayed in a 1 bedroom at the Randall House this year. We weren't expecting as nice a room as the 2 bedroom, but it was OK for what we needed. After going up the stairs to the unit and passed the kitchen into a large room with a pull out couch, TV mounted to the wall, I noticed the Murphy bed...I got nervous...Was this it? Is this the 1 bedroom?....then I turned the corner and saw another set of stairs that led to a spectacular Master suite. Whew! The Master bath was wonderfully laid out with high ceilings, new fixtures and a huge Jacuzzi tub. On the plus side, we were close to the playground, had a nice gas grill under a gazebo for us to use, and we were close to the pool. There was also plenty of parking. The unit was ultra clean and everything seemed new and/or very well maintained. The Murphy bed was the most comfortable I've ever slept on. The wifi is free for light use (email, web browsing) but if you're streaming movies or doing anything requiring faster speeds, it will cost you extra. The free wifi seemed adequate for our needs. This unit lost some points for the ultra tiny kitchen. The entire kitchen was about 4 feet long. Mini fridge, small dishwasher, electric cook top, decent microwave, only a few cabinets that are full of tableware. As you can imagine, there's no place to put groceries. We had stuff on the cooktop because there was no other place to put them. Not cool. One of the benefits of having a timeshare is most units have a full kitchen so you can go grocery shopping and cook a few meals during the week. It lost another big point for not having a washer/dryer in the unit or even in the building. We had to hump our laundry through the main lobby and into the basement of the main building. There was a closet at the top of the stairs near the kitchen that served no purpose. That would be a perfect spot for a stackable washer/dryer, just like they have in the Savard Bldg. All in all, we enjoyed our stay very much, but this particular unit came up short on our expectations. read more

*DO NOT BUY TIMESHARE* I never post reviews, but I need everyone to be warned about this place. We were lied to and cheated by their timeshare department, specifically Linda. Now we are stuck with a "timeshare" that costed us $12,500. It's no wonder they have to use vouchers at the Adventure Suites to get people to come in- It is an absolute scam. RCI is a horrible points partner company and you can never go where you want, when you want like they tell you. We truly have tried and given them the benefit of the doubt, but please, don't fall into the same trap we did and let them rob you. Check below reviews as well. This is a terrible thing to do to honest people. read more

Really, and for true, one of the nicest places I have ever stayed. I am a time share owner in the Carriage house Suites section. The suite is always clean, and well laid-out. The staff is friendly and helpful. Tons of amenities, shops and restaurants within walking distance are another perk. The hotel rooms are also very clean and beautiful if you are looking to just getaway for a weekend. If you are looking for a great family vacation spot in New Hampshire this would be it. read more

This is always my first choice for a hotel when staying in my favorite getaway town. Each time that I've come here, I was met with friendly staff, clean rooms, and an overall enjoyable stay. The "champagne in your room" option doesn't hurt, either. :) read more

This was a clean family run motel that offered good value. The room was spotlessly clean and it was in a good location. The checkin was good and I could not fault the staff at the motel. They had a clean swimming pool and good parking - the only fault was that the wifi was a bit dodgy - but all in all a good pit stop. read more

We stayed at the Eastern Slope Inn for our 20th anniversary the week before Christmas. We were treated great even though we got an amazing rate through a third party booking service. https://www.afvclub.com We stayed in the White Horse Cottage in the rear of the property by the tennis court. The cottage is bordered to the west by the railroad tracks which are still used by the Conway Scenic RR. During our stay, the Polar Express went by early in the evening. It wasn't loud or disturbing...in fact it was kind of fun to step out on the front porch and wave to the kids. Inside the cottage is a full sized kitchen with a full complement of dishes, cookware, utensils, a full sized refrigerator, four burner stove & oven, microwave, and a dishwasher. There are two or three packs of powdered dishwasher detergent under the sink along with some extra paper towels and a new scrub sponge. Since it was just my wife and I, we didn't use the dishwasher but cleaned our dishes in the sink. There are also several appliances such as a drip coffee maker, a blender, toaster, and a hot water kettle. There's a basket of coffee and condiments, but we bought some Dunkin Donuts coffee at the grocery store down the street. There's plenty of cabinet space if you decide to do some grocery shopping. The dining room is a farmer's table in the window with four chairs, but there's plenty of room to sit. A sleeper sofa, two upholstered chairs, a coffee table and a newer model Samsung LED TV is right outside the kitchen area in the open living space. There's a small vestibule by the front door with a place to hang your coat and stash your snow boots. A short hallway holds the stacked washer & dryer. It only cleans about a half sized load but a couple of packets of powdered detergent are provided. I got a couple more at the front desk at no extra cost. The master bedroom is large enough for the eastern king bed, two bed-side tables, full sized dresser, TV and a couple of chairs. A small closet holds some extra blankets and a handful of hangers. Bedroom two has a queen bed, a small dresser with a TV, one bedside table and small closet. There's plenty of room in both bedrooms. Walk through the second bedroom, up the stairs and there's a finished loft room with four twin beds. All the beds are made with linens, blankets, plenty of pillows, and nice quilts. The entire cottage is decorated nicely with window treatments, pictures, and hardwood flooring. It's a very homey feeling. A vacuum cleaner, broom and dust pan is available for mid-week cleanup. Since we stayed during the winter we tracked in a bit of sand and salt. All three TV's have Time Warner Cable and free HBO. The cable boxes are connected via HDMI cords so I was able to unplug the cable box and plug in my laptop computer and watch Netflix or play a DVD. There's only one Redbox kiosk in town - near the grocery store and the only Starbucks. WiFi is available throughout the resort which was nice because we didn't have very good mobile phone coverage (we traveled from California were our provider - T-Mobile - is a little better in our area.) We used the exercise room and pool/jacuzzi. The small gym has two treadmills, elliptical machines, and bikes. A couple of strength training machines and some dumbbells are also scattered around. There's two TV's on the wall if you forgot your iPod. Towels are available at the gym so you don't need to bring one from your room. There's a good sized pool - large enough to do laps or just splash around in. We sat in the jacuzzi inside and noticed sign that said there was an outside spa, so we migrated outdoors. The outside spas is right next to the parking lot so there's not much privacy, but the trees were decorated with lights for Christmas so it was nice. It was pretty cold (low 30's) but the door is very close by to the pool. Overall, we had a great stay and I would definitely recommend the Eastern Slope Inn to family and friends. read more

The was our 3rd time at this hotel and for the first time without kids. We were really looking forward to a great experience. Upon arrival we were told that we had to pay a $41 housekeeping fee. But here's the catch - we received zero house keeping!!! When I complained they said too bad, it's an RCI thing!!! Something about the fact we weren't staying 7 nights??? So you pay a fee for only staying 3 nights and get zero service???? We were placed in a room at something called The Whitaker House. This required us re packing our car and driving around the corner!!! We were told the room was amazing and had a hot tub spa. It did have a spa. A spa you needed to relax your back after laying on a mattress that must be at least 20 years old! It actually sagged without anyone laying on it!!!! Awful!!! We were very disappointed and probably will never go back! read more

Firstly there are a few things that are nice about this hotel, but that is what I am taking into consideration when I give them 2 stars. Just the location. My husband and I went for a minimoon as we eloped and wanted to get a little time away.. well what a mistake that was. Firstly construction outside the window, but that wasn't even that bad... what took the cake is on Saturday morning. We got woken up to 7am emptying of the dumpster, then followed by the running of EVERY snow blower the resort owned. While I did not think there would be that many.... it continued for the entire day. Along with the snow blowers were the skid steers and other heavy equipment being tested and run outside the window.. right outside.. but along with being RIGHT in front of the maintenance shed all we heard was the crew yelling the entire day. This stay was ruined,.. I will NEVER go back to the Eastern Slope again. Along with the experience I also gave the resort 3 days to follow up and respond to my emails and phone calls... nope... read more

My husband and I stayed here over a ski weekend. For an older Inn, the rooms were in great shape, very clean and classic with some modern finishes like fluffy white duvets. Even the light carpet looked spotless. Though somewhat updated, I would suggest they take it further and do the bathroom vanities and room pictures, which looked more outdated. We really enjoyed the large indoor pool and hot tub, we wanted to use the outdoor one but a large group had it occupied the time we were there. The location is fantastic, if you leave the hotel and make a right, you will come across the center of town with lots of restaurants and shops. We would stay again. The service we encountered from check in/check out was very nice. Guests can even buy discount ski passes at the front desk to the local mountains, I believe they were around $15-$20 off the regular price. read more

It's a great place to bring the kids. It has an old fashioned feel with group movie nights, and shuffle board. The location is a convenient walk to shops and restaurants. The indoor pool is perfect for kids. The 3ft shallow end has stairs for the younger learners and the deep end is 8ft. It's big enough to accommodate the guests and is kept very warm even in the winter. All in all it's a good deal for what you pay for. Another plus is the flatbread pizza in the hotel. It's a great option for rainy afternoons. read more

Great location. Walking distance to many things. Front desk helpful in helping plan activities. Great grounds. Lots to do. However, rooms are dated and in much need for upgrade. Wifi was spotty and disconnected often. Got phone call to schedule appt to buy timeshare - little annoying when your on vacation and don't really want to think about having to be somewhere. Walls are thin. Can hear a lot of slamming doors etc... read more

It was an excellent stay at the Oxen and Yoke of the Eastern Slope Inn hotels. The check in experience was streamlined and easy.

COZY COMFORT! This is for a review of a modern one bedroom suite in Cathedral Heights which I believe is a renovated colonial home. It had 3 main rooms (kitchen, living room with murphy bed, and bedroom). This would comfortably accommodate a family of 4 for a long weekend or perhaps even a week. Regarding reservations and check-in -- it was a busy Labor Day weekend and a last minute reservation... this was the only option available to us traveling with our ailing pet. I called the first time and passed it up as it was a bit more than we wanted to pay. Several hours we were heading up and I called back and they took $40 off the price for the night (without even asking). We arrived at 2pm and was able to quickly check-in. NOTE: There is a $25 pet fee which I believe is reasonable. The suite had a FULL kitchen with everything you would need to make a first class meal. Well I made a "mediocre" tasty meal and it worked out perfect as my wife had to make a special meal for our dog as well. The kitchen also included dishwasher which my wife realized after doing dishes! LOL! There is even a washer and dryer that we didn't use. Plenty of blankets and towels and pillows. are available in different closets etc. The living room was very comfortable with a standard size flat screen TV with lots of channels and comfy furniture. My wife loved the modern rugs in the place. The LR also had a nice semi view of the farm and mountains. Very very relaxing. The backyard has a nice swing set, grill, and a station to clean up after your dogs. Most importantly it has a LOVELY view of the White mountains including Mt. Washington. The only major negative I see is that is 1 mile away from the pool, exercise facilities, etc. We didn't end up getting in the car and going to the pool. Also this has air conditioning in the windows vs. central air. I got used to it... The beds were extra comfortable! The bedroom was very spacious and also had a separate TV. The wifi is free. Some of the furniture is a little bit dated but adequate (e.g., I would recommend removing the big hutch in the Living room area that is taking space it replace it with a larger television.). The bathroom in our suite was a little bit small but everything was in working order and it was clean! Overall... I was very comfortable and love this place and location. I would definitely stay here again. read more

My party of four stayed in a one bed suite in the main inn and found it to be very comfortable. The bedroom was spacious with a very comfortable King bed with lots of pillows. The adjoining studio had two pull down Murphy beds and a partial kitchen. It was well equipped to make a hot breakfast, and you could cook other meals using the stovetop and microwave. It was clean and comfortable and quiet, for the mist part. The only noise was the people above us, but if you put the Fan on (heating system), it drowned out any neighbor noise. They had the fire going in the lobby in the evening and Flatbreads is nice to have right in the Inn. We would definitely visit again! read more

Sadly I can only leave a few stars due to a recent experience I had with the manager of housekeeping, Megan Scheid, at the front desk.... My father has been an ESI vacation owner for over 25 years and we have typically enjoyed the long Valentine's/President's day weekend staying at Eastern slope inn and skiing in North Conway. We have ownership of two back to back rooms for the prior week and through the Monday holiday. Last weekend, my reservation to stay in one of the rooms with a friend of mine became interrupted as the hotel erroneously overbooked my room for another guest on our last night staying there. Instead of fixing the issue on their own time, I was asked to go down to the front desk to talk to Megan about the issue... She disabled the key cards so we weren't even allowed back into our room until this issue was resolved. Realizing that the error was on the hotel's side and not mine, Megan became extremely nervous; her hands were trembling and she was shaking. She said that MY GUEST AND I were the cause of this problem. Then she proceeded to put her hands up (as if she was fed up) and said "I am done with this conversation" and walked in the back room. For starters, this behavior was completely inappropriate ESPECIALLY of the MANAGER of housekeeping! Secondly, this was the hotel's fault and only the hotel could alleviate the problem, therefore WHY did they involve my guest and I? There was nothing that we could do to fix THEIR problem. Lastly, being a vacation owner of the hotel for 25+ years, I have NEVER experienced such poor professionalism in my life at this or any other resort. Megan's actions were reported to her boss, Dick Schwalbenberg, in the hopes that this type of behavior will be mitigated in the future. Megan, I'm truly sorry you had organizational issues with my reservation, perhaps you should look into another career. Good luck! read more

What a great three days! The pool is great and the rooms are really roomy, we stayed in an efficiency and the pull down beds were comfortable and though Friday night was over the $150 mark the other two nights were a steal. You cannot beat the location or the fact that flatbreads is right here in the hotel. Also be sure to check White Mountain Cupcakery across the street. Def. will stay here again. read more

One of our family's favorite places in the world. 'All inclusive review' Very long story trimmed much shorter to not bore a reader; We 'won' a day trip, gas money (literally $50 cash) and $100 in dining coupons at my daughter's elementary school function last year. We knew coming up this was a 'time share pitch' and were fine with that for reasons. We are a middle class family with 3 kids at time of review ages 14, 8 and 6. Im being very literal when i say that at the time of our day trip in Nov 2014, for 4 years we had planned and saved $150-$200/month for a family vacation because frankly we were sick and tired of working non stop with no 'real vacation' and for 4 years like clockwork 'something came up' swallowing our vacation fund (think the beginning of the Disney movie Up). We toured the resort with Jason Brown. Any time he got 'pitchy', we would call him out on it and have a laugh together about it. The first joke of which was his tendency to correct us when we called this a 'time share', he would say 'but this is rather a vacation ownership'. In hindsight, there is a difference. As i now understand it: - timeshare: you make a monthly payment to buy 'points' you can then use yearly towards various participating locations/affiliated resorts for vacation. - vacation ownership: you make payments on a specific, deeded piece of property in which your 'ownership rights' are for a set period each year. After paying your purchase price off, you own that piece of the the resort... Forever on your week(s) like buying a condo. You can ALSO THEN buy the ability to 'trade' or literally even sell your week for points to exchange or cash! (They rent out your unit and give you the money) After a very informative tour we were introduced to Terry Galligan in the office, 'their closer' if you want to call it that. With Jason and Terry both present, we discussed our family's needs and goals regarding vacation. Since we are a little over 2 hours away, this is a great getaway for us. All in all, we bought a 'studio' size, which is a bit small for our family, but would cost $155/mo for 7 years then we own it forever.... Now think about this; for 4 years we SAVED $150-$200/month to go on vacation, and for 4 years 'something came up' and we spent the money elsewhere... And got NO vacation other than sitting around. When we were 'pitched' the initial numbers didnt work for us. It was around $255/month which at the time seemed kind of scary to us from $0/month requirement to $255. Terry and Jason could tell we wanted this but needed to discuss it. When they asked if we needed a minute alone having been in sales a long time i said this; "no. In my sales job i wonder all the time when a customer doesnt buy from me what i could have done if only id known why they didnt buy. Id prefer you guys both stay right here and listen in to our issues so we can strategize a solution together." They seemed shocked by this, but that was precisely what we did. Together. The solution was to 'start small' with a 'studio with a yearly points value of 28k' vs a '2 bedroom at yrly pts value of 50k' like they originally pitched. This gave us a yearly weeks vacation we didnt have before and dropped our payment to a VERY comfortable $155/month. Fast forward to 1 year later right now as im writing this review, while enjoying our first year weeks vacation... DO NOT BE AFRAID TO DO THIS NOW... On to the resort itself. It is a BEAUTIFUL picture-esque vision of New England. It is 34 acres, much of which is directly on the main road literally 1/2 block from the dead center of North Conway where you can find most any type of restaurant youd want, the Conway scenic railroad, a huge park with a nice size playground/playset for kids. Maybe a mile away are literally anything else such as grocery stores, even outlet malls. Of course skiing and hiking are HUGELY abundant nearby. Eastern Slope Inn units (unless listed as 'hotel unit) have EVERYTHING a traveling family with children would need right down to dish soap. We literally only needed to bring some groceries and toothpaste. Units at Eastern Slope vary a bit in what they offer (lication, size, ammenities) As a result they are priced and points valued all over the place. There is literally something for anyone at any budget. Our unit (for now :-)) is a studio on the top floor corner unit of the back-most building facing a pond and a golf course. Eastern Slope has an indoor year round pool and hot tub, playground, tennis courts, various grills throughout, and an excercise room. Flatbread pizza is in the main building which is EXCELLENT. All in all, the resort is perfect. My wife and I say EVERY TIME we discuss our purchase at Eastern Slope it is the best investment we've ever made for our family. If you are looking for a perfect way to go on a 'New England vacation', here it is. read more
