As many reviews have stated, this place is...for sure, in a remote location. Bring some food, escape your busy life and the internet, hunker down and relax! There are restaurants about 15 and 30 minutes away. Also, this place is "rustic" and in need of some upgrades and renovations. There is wi-fi, but no doubt the speed of said wi-fi is frustrating....again, remote location...escape, relax! So, keep all of this in mind when booking your reservation. If rustic, remote location, and slow wi-fi is not for you, I'd suggest finding a 5-star resort in a major city instead.
There are a number of sitting areas inside and outside the property where you can relax. There is a huge game room with a few arcade games (bring your quarters), ping pong, pool, bumper pool, air hockey, foosball, darts, board games and puzzles. There is a "library" and sitting area with two bookshelves of books. There is a computer room with computer and vending machines. There is a laundry room with 2 washers and 2 dryers (bring your quarters and detergent). There is fire pit outside with supplied wood as well as a small playground for the kiddos. There are two propane grills and picnic tables.
The staff was very friendly...Marg, Naomi, and Brandy! The night before our arrival, Marg called to ask when we would arrive and provide directions...wow, that's customer service! She advised us to avoid North Conway, NH due to traffic. When we checked in on Saturday, Naomi walked us around the property and showed us to our room. We booked a studio with the Murphy (double) bed through RCI. This room is 300-400 sq ft...like, really super small...and the room layout with the bed down and cabinets makes it feel even smaller. It was clean with huge windows facing the woods. There was a pull out couch, dining table, mini fridge, small stove with 2 burners, a small oven, and small bathroom. If you book this room, you'll want to take advantage of those sitting areas on the property, go for a hike, etc. We spoke to Marg and the staff when we arrived about upgrading our room. The staff asked us to be patient and they could probably put us in another room late Sunday as there were a lot of check-out that day. To our delight, we were upgraded to a one bedroom with king bed, living room with 2 pull out couches, mini fridge and a small fridge, 4 burner stove, small oven, dining table, and two bathrooms. Hands down, a much better room and experience! I'm not sure I could have survived in the studio all week! We were lucky that both of our rooms had an air conditioning unit, not all rooms do.
We did not have one of the rooms with the spiral staircases, but we peeked in and those were super cool for those that have no problem climbing narrow stairs.
All-in-all, a peaceful getaway for us! read more
