I don't normally write bad reviews, even when they're deserved, and I won't this time either…read more Instead, this is a highly specialized recommendation, perfect for a very specific traveler: the team mom or dad of a Pee Wee hockey squad that prefers to practice their cardio by sprinting down hotel hallways at maximum volume all night long. If that's you, congratulations. You've found your destination. At the Snow Owl Inn, management will never trouble you with interruptions like "quiet hours" or "basic courtesy." Your young athletes can bang on every guest room door in the building, shriek with unrestrained joy, and conduct impromptu hallway scrimmages at 10 p.m. without anyone stepping in. Parental exhaustion, road-trip apathy, and total abdication of responsibility are all fully supported here. And if you're a connoisseur of mid-70s ski-lodge décor -- the kind that's not just vintage but extremely broken-in -- you're in for a treat. Every amenity has that perfectly worn, gently dilapidated charm that really completes the experience. So no, this isn't a bad review. It's simply salute to the only travelers who will truly appreciate everything the Snow Owl Inn has to offer.

If you are looking for a comfortable nights sleep after a day of hiking or skiing, DO NOT stay…read morehere! I will start by saying the area where the hotel is located is beautiful and the lobby area was lovely and cozy. We never met any of the staff during our stay as we didn't check in until 12AM as we attended the Scottish Festival in Lincoln all day snd evening, and there was no one at the desk when we checked out at 11 AM. Breakfast is over very early at 9 AM. We felt that is too early for breakfast to be over as we didnt get to sleep until 1 am so we missed it. The room was large, clean, but outdated and had no mini fridge for the leftovers we had so we had to discard them. Our biggest issue were the beds. When I say they were the cheapest, most uncomfortable beds I have ever slept in I'm not exaggerating. It felt like a thin layer of cardboard over metal springs. When I first laid down I couldnt believe how uncomfortable it was. I could feel metal springs poking me all over my body. The floor would have been more comfortable! We tossed and turned all night and got a horrible sleep and woke up exhausted, sore and in pain. For $200 a night, it's not worth it to stay here! Please purchase new mattresses! At the very least if you are too cheap to do that, buy a thick, memory foam mattress topper!

Also being so close to a grocery store (walking distance) and having a FULL kitchen was amazing as well!! There were some great restaurants walking distance also.

There is a free shuttle but we chose to drive our rental just to make it easier with the kiddos. Also BEAUTIFUL views!! Definitely would recommended

Overall, my family and I had a great stay at RiverWalk Resort, and I would definitely come back…read more There were a few things that could be improved, but the positives far outweighed the negatives. Check-in was quick and easy. One thing I wasn't told, though, was that your room key is needed not only to use the elevator but also to activate the lights in your room. Thankfully, I've stayed at hotels with this feature before, or I probably would have been pretty confused. The resort is huge, so if you're bringing a lot of luggage, definitely grab a luggage cart. It'll save you from making multiple trips. I also reserved a room with what I thought would be two queen beds, but it turned out to be one queen bed and a pull-out couch. After a few nights on the pull-out mattress, my back was definitely feeling it. Another thing to know is that the in-room refrigerator doesn't have a freezer. Luckily, I brought my portable electric fridge/freezer cooler, so I just plugged it in on the balcony and kept all of our food in there. The outdoor grills are a great feature, and we cooked steaks a couple of nights. Just be aware there aren't any grilling utensils provided, so bring your own if you plan on cooking. We also had dogs staying next door that barked almost nonstop, especially whenever people walked down the hallway. It was a little annoying, but I'm a dog lover, so I wasn't going to complain. My room also felt on the smaller side. If we came back during snowboard season with all of our winter gear, I think space would be pretty tight. Now for the good... The resort is absolutely beautiful, spotless, and very well maintained. There's really no reason to leave the property. Between the winery, the upscale Italian restaurant, and the pub-style restaurant, there are plenty of great dining options. Both restaurants offer outdoor seating where you can enjoy food and drinks by the pool. The food was excellent, and the prices were very reasonable. The pools and hot tubs are outstanding honestly, they're comparable to what you'd expect at a Disney resort. There are also tons of activities for kids, including poolside movies on a projection screen, arts and crafts, ice cream events, and guided hikes. It really feels like a place where families can make lasting memories. I don't usually work out while I'm on vacation, but the fitness center here is so nice that I had to use it. It's honestly the kind of gym I'd pay a membership for. I even took one of the spin classes, which was a great experience. The only thing I didn't see was a sauna. Maybe there is one somewhere on the property and I just couldn't find it, but if there isn't, that would be a huge missed opportunity especially during the winter months after a long day on the slopes. I'll definitely be coming back, and I could honestly see myself buying a timeshare here someday. The only thing that surprised me was that no one ever asked if I wanted a tour or gave me a sales pitch. I don't know if they just aren't pushing timeshare sales as hard as other resorts, but I was expecting to at least be asked. Overall: 4.5/5 stars. A few small improvements would make this place nearly perfect, but it's an outstanding family resort and one I'd happily recommend.

When we arrived, Rae greeted us and checked us in. Our room was way larger than I expected and even though the furniture was a little outdated, our stay was fantastic. The heater worked really well and the water got hot really fast. In the mornings, we had the free breakfast which was a small selection of bread, pastries, yogurt, and microwaveable sandwiches. The inn was also super close to the slopes which is a bonus. Checking out was super easy. After we left, my bf realized he forgot his Apple Watch so Rae found it and held onto it for us until we were able to come back and grab it. Thank you Rae for making our stay fantastic!!

They resolved it quickly and put me up in a different hotel (the valley inn) which had its own issues. The person running it did invite us back for breakfast the next morning because the valley inn does not serve. They offered us the full options as a guest once we arrived the next morning. Including their bikes and even some day passes. Over all they are getting this review based on customer service not on a room as i never got to see it. I WOULD like to go back again and actually stay the night in their rooms! Also I have to comment on the other posting for this place. They dont SERVE dinner! If that is what the people paid for its their fault not the Silver Fox's

Me, Ben, James & Molly all played here on a Sunday morning. Just on the foothills of the White Mountains so you get the tee box elevation on various holes. Some very beautiful views of the White Mountains from elevated tee boxes and a few elevated greens. Wide open fairways and greens that were all in great shape. The favorite was #10, Par 3 with elevated tee box & beautiful views. Don't be long or you'll be down the hill & pitching up a steep grade. All the tee boxes were in great repair and well marked. There is a restaurant attached with a nice view from the outside patio tables. You can view the short Par 3 10th hole from the patio which is entertaining. All the Staff were great and it all combined for a fantastic experience.

Our room was stunning. My fiancé pre planned and had rose petals, candles, and champagne all set up by the staff for us. (Additional charge). There was a hot tub for two, a shower for two, and a nice additional seating area. In the morning there was fresh orange juice, coffee, and homemade options such as muffins and pastries. There were also some yogurt, fruit, and granola. Saturday night there was a complimentary cheese and wine night! They offered a mixed variety of cheeses, meats, and crackers. They also had two wine options, and a non alcoholic bubbly option. There was a huge almost pool sized hot tub, which could easily fit 16-20 people. They keep the water at a mild temperature, so that all can enjoy. On site, there was also an enormous work out room and an infrared sauna. There were quite a few amenities in the work out room - including a putting mat, a golf swing machine, a full body massage chair, a foot massager, and countless other options. We would recommended this place to any and everyone. The famous mulled cider candles are available for 21$ to purchase, we got a few. Having gone to the North Conway area for 10+ years - I can comfortably say that this place is a hidden gem. We will definitely be back.
