A Hidden Gem in New Hampshire!…read more I can't say enough good things about this charming little motel! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed like family by the sweetest couple who clearly pour their hearts into every detail. The rooms are spotless, the beds are incredibly comfortable, and there are thoughtful, homey touches throughout that make it feel more like a cozy guesthouse than a motel. Everything about our stay was simply perfect. If you're looking for a place that's full of character, comfort, and genuine hospitality, this is it. We can't wait to come back!

Carol called us to make sure we were making it up ok. When we arrived at Carlson's Lodge Carol met us to check us in. We hadn't eaten yet and she called a nearby restaurant to see if they could still take us. She also helped us plan our entire day for the next day. She had really good suggestions of different hikes we could do in our time frame. She then took us to our room which had a door code instead of a key which I really liked. She also said that one bed was firm and one bed was plush. This place was perfect for our one night stay. The only thing I would note is there is not a fridge in the room. The lodge was so close to Mt. Willard, the Cog Railway, the Mt Washington Hotel and others. It was a very convenient location and Carol made our stay so much better, would definitely stay again!

There is a clean shared kitchen and a comfortable place to sit and read. Its really conventient to hiking the White moutntains. It has most everything an Inn should have except the one essential thing : A quiet place to sleep. The Allegory Inn is near the corner of two major trucking routes and you will hear them coming and going all night long. That and the noise from the AC unit below us meant we go almost no sleep at all. We will not be returning. Very disappointing.

All other motels/lodging in this area are right on the main road. So close to the main road that…read moreyou can't walk outside without making eye contact with people driving by. The Seven Dwarfs is on a road a mile away from the main road and that REALLY makes a difference. If you're looking for a quiet place to relax and enjoy yourself, stay here. I stayed in the "Happy" suite. King bed. Entry room that was separate from room with the bed & seating. Entry room had a mini fridge & a place to hang coats and clothes. AC in my room as well. They cleaned my room the next day. They have bigger units with kitchenettes as well as a jacuzzi suite. The owners have been running this place for 35 years and have a lovely dog. This place has manicured grounds and flowers so wonderful you can smell them the second you step outside. They have a play area for kids, horse shoe toss, a volleyball net, walking trails, BBQ, fire pit, picnic area (the last 3 overlook a river which you can swim in. The river was low when I was here but I still went in and when I sat down it was chest height.) They also have a screened in area with a picnic table if it happens to be buggy. Plenty of outdoor seating. Bring your own fire wood. Also, bring your own firewood if you book a room with a fireplace. They don't sell it here anymore, but you can buy it down the road at Fosters. I did & it wasn't a hassle at all. You can hear the river from your room and it's so relaxing. I can't stress enough how much of a difference not being on the main road makes. The serenity of the Seven Dwarfs really made this trip. Their website says they offer a breakfast, but the owner said they no longer do that (like they no longer have fire wood here) because it's just he & his wife running the place and he's getting older and has to work nights. When I heard him say that, I really wasn't disappointed at all. I mean, stuff like having to drive down the road for food might seem like an inconvenience to some people, but you're staying in northern NH. Part of the draw is the down to earth community. If you want to stay in some bourgeoisie hotel chain, maybe the Twin Mountains area isn't for you. Anyways, there are many other places to eat for cheap around here, and my room had a fridge. You can always stay in a unit with a kitchenette if you want to make yourself food Like another user said, the theme is cute and kitsch without going overboard. This motel isn't cabin style, but I had neighbors on either side of me and I couldn't hear them at all. It felt secluded and very cosy. If you're unsure of whether to stay here or not, I'd suggest coming by and checking it out for yourself. The pictures on their site don't do it justice.

Cheap. Let's start there. It was 76 dollars for the night and we got an apartment with 3 rooms plus…read morekitchen and bathroom. I called 5 other places and they were all booked up not to mention 250 a night. I've stayed here before on hiking trips simply because it's cheap. The location is perfect, a mile off the main road nestled into the twin mountains. Huge play area for kids to run free and a playground that my daughter loved. A short walk down a wooded path leads you to a beautiful river front and BBQ area. There is a screened in picnic area here as well. Great for just hanging by the river and then heading back to the room. The free range chickens running around kept my daughter busy for a few hours. The room was large and the bed was comfortable. It's dated. Very dated , but like I said it's 76 bucks for the night. It wast dirty, just old. I cooked lunch in the kitchen and the full size fridge was key. My only complaint was the room was a little smelly. I can do old, but not smelly. Time to replace carpets and a few other upgrades to get people coming back. Overall. My daughter had a blast, running around the huge yard, swinging on the horse swing, and playing in the river. Peaceful, quiet and cheap. I enjoyed it, if the room didn't smell I'd bring my family back for sure.

No one answers the phone, and when they finally return your voicemail, they're angry. When you check in, they're mad at you. Talk to them, at any time of the day, they're cold and short. Are very clearly irritated to deal with any guests. Ask them a question about where to park, they roll their eyes and treat you like you're an alien. Like dude, you just bought a literal motel and cottage spot?!?! Which is for having people around? Why you so mad about it? Like, what did we do?! We are good guests! Sorry guys. Probably our last stay here. Spider-filled now, not as clean as it was, but the prices are higher. there is zero of the welcoming feeling that brought us here in the first place. Can't recommend.

It's the off season here so the Inn was very quiet when we arrived except for the beautiful, rushing river behind it. Outside it's clear that the inn is being fixed up and at 198 years old, what doesn't? So we went in... Sarah is the owner/manager of the Inn for the last 18 months. She has extensive experience working for major hotel chains and it shows. The bar is stocked with national, regional and local beers and there was an adequate choice of wine and liquor. Our bartender, Mariah was knowledge, friendly and willing to create new drinks for us! An espresso stout and marshmallow vodka shot tasted like a long evening latte. She's knowledgeable of local food, hiking and other things to do in the area. The atmosphere is charming and Sarah has preserved much of the previous owner's photos of happy golf groups. The dining room is large but only about 15 tables have a view of the river and the old bridge. If you're going to come out, I would suggest asking to reserve one of them. Dinner was both delicious and entertaining. The salmon was perfectly cooked and there are ample vegetarian choices on the menu including poblano tacos made on handmade cauliflower tortillas. The Mac and cheese (which is not a burger) was very tasty as well. Bottom line: enjoy this woman-owned charmer and help the local economy too! You won't be disappointed.

We (three of us) each got a drink. An old fashioned, the Penelope, and raspberry Mojito. The old fashioned was not good, tasted like straight alcohol. The raspberry mojito was really good and well balanced, but towards the end we noticed a piece of wrapper at the bottom of the glass. The Penelope was actually really good. The Brussel sprouts and the clam chowder was really good. The fish and chips was very bland. The steak and the burger were both really good. Overall it was an okay experience, not sure if we'd be back. But it's a really nice place with a nice spot to sit outside.

This and the fact that the price is incredibly good for simple accommodations (in our case 2 twin beds). It's definitely a throwback in time but quaint and cute, nonetheless. The bathroom has hand painted scenes that look quite intricate for someone to have done for more than one room. There was a window in front and in back to allow air circulation which was a nice bonus. The woman checking us in even asked if I wanted an extra towel (for my hair). Being a woman, she understood. Oh, and another plus that is a point of contention in a lot of motels/hotels: lighting over the bathroom mirror. This was excellent! A woman's touch, obviously. Note that there is no coffee maker in the room if that's important to you. It wasn't to me. Final plus: Close to the trailhead for hiking to Galehead hut and Munroe's for 7am breakfast. Definitely plusses!

She went out of her way accommodate requests and to ensure she provided places I would like to see and things to do while we were visiting. Rooms are all pet friendly and we stayed in a suite like room with a small full kitchen and two bedrooms. The shower was hot (though small), beds were adiquit and the room smelled clean. The office had a bit of an odor about it and I was nervous when checking in but it seemed to be just in the office, not in the room. There is a small trail down to a beaver pond behind the property which was a nice addition to our stay. There was also a grill and picnic tables that would be great in the summer. I would absolutely stay again!

Say "You can stay here, and we'll let you use our facilities, but know it is more Days Inn than Omni 4-star since we haven't renovated yet." If I'd known that, I'd have been ok since the proximity to the mountain was perfect. Bottom line: The property is not up to Omni standards. Yeah, I knew it was a motel across the street and not the real deal, but I expected it to be staffed at least a bit? Recently renovated? Given a good scrub since the last owners left? * it hasn't been renovated since previous ownership. Dark, dank, terrible heating, a random fridge in the corner, sinks too small to fill a large water bottle, lightbulb out over the stairs.... * the pool was meh, but the towel situation appalling. * not enough coffee provided to last our stay. * three nights in a row I was woken in the middle of the night by a neighbor's music. * they'd "defeathered" the room prior to our arrival, as asked, but hadn't replaced the removed quilt with an additional blanket. No spares in the cabinets, either. And with no staff on hand, there was no solution without getting in the car. Do better, Omni.
