But don't let the word hostel scare you. While it's no luxury hotel it's been nice and clean. And it's more expensive than a hostel but there's because an amazing breakfast and dinner are included in the price. They are small dorm hostel style bunkrooms and lots of regular hotel style private rooms. Some have their own bathrooms and some have shared rooms. There is gear room that guests can borrow from which is real handy. And they have guided hikes sometimes and lots of suggestions for activities. And a game room in the basement to go to during quiet hours (this is not a place to come party loudly in your room all night). This is a.place for people who love the outdoors and want to meet new friends. It's run by the AMC which is a non profit so your money is helping out.

Leon and Nellie have been friends of my family for years (even longer than the decades we've been…read morecoming to New Hampshire), but somehow we'd never stayed at the Spruce Moose. Even without the familial connection, I'd be absolutely in love with this place. Family and friends gathered this past weekend for a memorial hike in honor of my dad, who passed in 2007. Leon and Nellie went out of their way to accommodate us, down to even offering additional rooms when some extra guests appeared and getting up extra early to make us to-go egg sandwiches we could take long on our hike up Mt. Washington. Both our group and the other guests at the Inn were treated like treasured friends in their home and it felt like a big old family reunion for us all. The Spruce Moose is the perfect location---a short walk to the adorable North Conway village, and a quick drive to countless hiking options. The decor makes you feel like you're visiting friends in a luxurious mountain home. Zeb and Avery, the two trusty labs, greet you at the door and will cuddle you on the couch for hours if you let them. The beds are comfy, and the rooms contain no tvs so you can truly enjoy the nature around you (though there IS wi-fi if you need your technology fix). Breakfast in the morning is delicious and filling. Tea and coffee are available at any time. It was an amazing weekend, in no small part to Leon and Nellie. I will be back to the Spruce Moose the next time I come to North Conway!

Avery and Jed are the most welcoming doggies, I was only with them for one night and I miss them terribly. The breakfast was excellent, coffee and tea are available all the time. My room was beautiful, the shower had great water pressure, and the lodge itself is super warm and cozy. I honestly felt like I was visiting relatives I just hadn't met yet.

I adored Pemi Cabins…read more My husband and I randomly decided to venture into Lincoln to visit Franconia Notch State Park after a weekend spent exploring Maine. We had no plans and no place to stay since we drove in on a whim. After driving up and down the main road a few times, we noticed a vacancy sign at Pemi, so we stopped in. The kind woman working the desk gave us the keys to both units she had available and let us look at our leisure to see what might be a fit for us. She even told us she could recommend somewhere else to stay if we didn't like our options. As soon as we turned the key on this cabin, we knew it was the spot for us. The location is incredible. These cabins are set right along the river so you can hear the peaceful rushing no matter where you are on property. We slept with the windows open all night so we could enjoy it. Our cabin had chairs on the front porch, so we sat and had coffee in the morning. Though we didn't stay long and spent most of our time out hiking, we did appreciate that this cabin had everything we'd need for a longer stay to be comfortable. It has a kitchen with a fridge and stove, plenty of towels and toiletries in the bathroom, and a very comfortable bed. I love that all the windows could be opened. There's a trail that leads down to the river for you to explore at your own risk. There's also a barn that has a few games and is the perfect place to hang out. We fell in love with the area and if we're lucky enough to make a trip back to New England, we wouldn't hesitate to book here again. I'd love to stay in one of their cabins with a covered porch to enjoy the river even more!

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.

Absolutely LOVED this place!!…read more i've never been to a b&b before, so this was our first time. We brought our puppy here, and they are SUPER dog friendly! The owners have a couple of dogs of their own, and another couple was here with their dog. This place is super cute and homey-there's paintings, stuffed animals (for humans and dogs), inviting couches, decorative rooms, a big backyard for our dogs to do their business (we didn't even have to pick up after them, since someone else does that for us)-great since it snowed several inches the night before!! We came in at night, and just sat back with some drinks and hung out with everyone as our dogs socialized, too. Our puppy loved this place, as he was free to wander around and have some fun! That made us super happy, too :). This place also includes a home cooked breakfast, and free wifi. Sweeeet!

I'm glad I booked it blindly, otherwise the distance would have discouraged me from coming here. The owners love dogs and make you feel at home. They have a couple of their own dogs too. There's a backyard where you can open the door and let your dog pee and poop. For my first experience at a B&B, I loved it.
